Is it too much to ask for a big budget Triple A avatar game? Enough with this PS2 era nonsense. This IP deserves so much more. Give this to Insomniac or literally anyone else and let them loose with it.
I hope this game is decent but it just doesn't look like what I want.
It's not very good. Honestly, Avatar is ripe for a video game adaptation. But they keep screwing it up.
A Breath of the Wild style open world game would be amazing.
Totally. So many interesting traversal abilities like Aang's gliding, Travelling on Appa, maybe some abilities like gliding on water, snow. So many combat abilities across so many characters. These abilities can also be used for puzzles.
And instead of Beedle we could have the cabbage merchant everywhere.
MY CABBAGES!!!
Yeah. Maybe check out Elementallis, which is currently in development. It looks to be heavily inspired by Avatar.
The only way I think it could work is to move on from Aang completely. In fact, I would probably make it an RPG with 4 or 5 options (call them classes, races, backgrounds, whatever): pick an element or be a non-bender and stick to that. Play a whole new story, probably in a different era than any of the shows have been. Heck, it could be a pretty decent MMO.
Or... hear me out... Sports game. I really liked the bending competitions from Korra. I've heard the Korra game has some of that. I could see that translating pretty well, similar to soccer or hockey games, or Pyre.
I like this idea. I hear the creators are working on a series revival where Aang and friends are all grown up and dealing with a new threat. That would be the perfect setting imho for doing a real mature take on the series. Grow up the cast and do something original. The issue I see is that in the main story there are such cool developments with things like lightning, blood, air voids, metal , etc, that if you do a prequel, you are precluded from including these bending evolutions, and if you do a sequel (say, after Korra) the world is much more advanced that these advanced techniques would be well established.
I think the creators want to flesh out the crew in their later years with a show rather than let a game do it for them. There almost needs to be a separate universe for the game, much how the Spiderman games are separate from the comics and movies.
