User blog comment:Gamma Venom 567/Do you want a Hellsing Video game?/@comment-174.59.226.245-20121228070340

I think you'll find my comment rather enlightening so I strongly encourage you to read it in full.

You people certainly have much more imagination than you do problem solving skills. You'll probably never see a Hellsing video game because creating a quality game would butcher Hellsing. On the flip side, faithful use of the subject matter would make a terrible video game.

You're genuinely asking for too much - you'd be best off asking a fighting game franchise to adopt hellsing characters and be happy you got anything at all. If you wanted Hellsing to enter the gaming realm you should have begged and pleaded 10+ years ago before hundreds of studios just like this one discovered how easy it is to fail miserably and I garuntee this franchise would fail just as miserably. It's a difficult task creating a quality video game to begin with and some ideas are just not meant to be. You can't just stick Hellsing on a game console and call it awesome. The end result would just piss you off, but you'd still choke it down like bad food because you love Hellsing as much as you love your grandma who can't cook for shit. All that being said if I ever see a Hellsing video game, I'll cringe with fear, run for the hills and probably be to afraid to even read it's reviews.

Now I'll explain why.

If Alucard was the primary focal point and the story began say, 500 years before the conclusion to Hellsing, the game would have massive potential. The downside to this, is that you'd simply be reliving all of the Hellsing story and be pitted into each battle. When Hellsing OVA is released at over $10 an episode they're not going to dump it into a $60 game that'll go down to $25 in a matter of months. Instead they'll get creative, and in the words of the major: "Tonight...All our promises bear fruit" and so you'll have yourself a dish of mediocre video game and butchered subject matter.

It pains me to say so, but if Hellsing was a video game, it would have started as one. I'd love to be behind the sights of The Jackal or summon Blessed Bayonets, but not if it's going to be in the form of another horrible transition we wish we could uninvent.

Best reguards - Scott.
