Twilight MMORPG In The Works

twilightIt seems that the Twilight franchise is growing beyond even books and movies into the realm of video games. Word from developer BrainJunk Studios is that they’re working on an MMORPG set in the Twilight universe. For those of you unfamiliar with the initials, MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game; this is a genre of video game defined by its being played over the Internet with thousands to millions of other players.

Typically, an MMORPG (or just MMO for short) features many different roles for players to inhabit; this proposed Twilight game would seem to have only three: human, vampire, and werewolf. Not being familiar with the series, I invite reader correction on this issue, but if true, would that be enough? Especially as I’m sure it would be possible to turn a human into a vampire, reducing the choice to two?

This is worthy of mention because we see young kids being swept up in online communities as it is, with virtual worlds like Habbo Hotel and Club Penguin. Generally, these environments are aimed at younger children. What happens when these kids become teens and get tired of the “kiddy” atmosphere of these titles? Presumably they’ll now be able to move on to the Twilight MMO. And that could be dangerous.

Being a video game player myself, I don’t automatically demonize games. But as a parent, I’m also well aware of the dangers of allowing my son to spend too much time in front of the TV, or at the computer. I’d rather he looked at such things as momentary diversions from spending time with me and his mother, or getting exercise outside. Playing a video game shouldn’t be a destination in and of itself. So be warned, parents: the Twilight series is hugely successful, in no small part because it appeals to the frustrated emotions of adolescents. If they have the opportunity to experience all of that by inhabiting the world of Twilight, you’d better believe it’s going to be super addictive.

    Pffft, more like…

    Also, the books and films might be hugely successful. But I highly doubt that this “Game” will. I’d rather play Runescape than this.

  33. x_TWILIGHT_SLUT_x July 29, 2009 - 6:03 pm

    OMG I LOVE TWILIGHT I HAVE AN EDWARD DILDO AND BUTT PLUG AND VAMPIRE TEETH I SUCK COCK WITH AND I SHOVE THE MOVIE CASES IN MY ASS!!!!!!!

  34. lulzlulzlulzlulz July 29, 2009 - 6:08 pm

    lulz wtf XD i pissed my pants, im gonna name myself nottavampire

  35. grandeza July 29, 2009 - 6:17 pm

    This will be so much fun to troll. Assuming theres no payment required I will have fun trolling. Bad idea for a game honestly. They’re totally reaching out to a different audience that won’t take it. I’m so going to choose wolf since most people will choose vampire and own all the 10 year olds =] i’ll choose human if they have any fighting chance against anyone(in other words I’ll troll as a wolf)

  36. TRAP July 29, 2009 - 7:44 pm

    This will end up just like the matrix online

  37. Rand0mname July 30, 2009 - 2:48 am

    can’t be done, it will fail horribly

  38. LOL July 30, 2009 - 6:30 am

    The world will end when they this comes true.
    Believe me, everyone will die… laughing at it.

  39. XxXtwilightanalXxX July 30, 2009 - 10:38 am

    OH SHIT!!!

  40. Dialist July 30, 2009 - 6:13 pm

    The most amusing part of it all is that the game developer that does this will be the black sheep of the internet community for a loooooong time.

  41. Daw Faw Daw July 31, 2009 - 4:03 pm

    I’m having a hard time telling if any comments are actually serious, that’s how big of a joke this is

  42. BabyFisting August 1, 2009 - 12:40 pm

    They don’t know what an MMO really is…

    Or vampires..

    Or talent.

  43. lolque August 6, 2009 - 10:12 pm

    Here it is children: The worlds largest fail.

    Twifags gtfo and take your fail with you. kthnx.

  44. LaughingDemon August 28, 2009 - 11:18 am

    ROFL. Oh GOD this is just sad.

    They’ve got sex toys and MMORPG’s.

    What’s next? Edward blow-up dolls?

    All these twilight fans posting here are making me LMAO. Not to mention their parents are probably homosexual and they resort to twilight for self security. >_> lmao

    Twilight just CAN’T Get ANY worse. lol

  45. O rly? August 30, 2009 - 5:19 am
