Why do you think it would? There is hardly any action at all in The Book of the New Sun and what little there is is complicated by Severian's particular future. Maybe it'd work as an interesting commentary on the whole save/load thing, but other than that it's basically just this >>6563987

It should be about trying to escape from the zombies that attacked your farm and just when you get to Jefferson and think you're safe a mega zombie pops out of the the coffin and the boss theme plays.

Whenever someone says BOTNS could be a good videogame I think they're just talking about the setting. Anyone whose seriously read the book knows the plot is completely unmanageable within the confines of video-game mechanics. It's just be a hulking monstrosity with none of the best parts about the original.

The setting of Urth would make for a pretty god-tier MMO setting. Apart from that, I can't imagine the plot of BotNS working in a video game format.

How the fuck would the New Sun make a good video game? Maybe an adventure game, but even that would be a strech. It's far too impressionist and imbeded in a misty perspective to be in vain of any game I've played so far.

At first I kek'd, but it could actually be pretty good. It wouldn't have the same emotional depth, of course, but it could still be a good story that contained its multiple points of view gimmick.

Haven't read this one yet, just finished the Mistborn trilogy though, and now that I think about it, that might make for a neat team FPS type thing.

The different classes would be different mistings, of course. Everybody would get some standard weapons, then each could have different allomantic powers. Or even feruchemical or hemalurgic. I wonder if that'd work. Maybe like Battlefront, actually, where after a while one of the teams gets a Mistborn Hero to join the fight.

look, I do give the guy props for actually putting something out there, but if I was going for that level of garbage I would've published more shit than Stephen King by this point.
