So Riot Forge was made....

GenoXx·12/7/2019, 12:13:59 AM·32 votes·17,685 views

Riot Forge is the best thing that Riot could have announced so far to me. As a lore lover, the best thing that could come from League of Legends is the possibility that other game developer companies can make single player games from the lore. Just think about the possibilities of exploring the world of Runeterra from pc or console?

Imagine a soulsborne game with runeterra as its setting? Maybe a tatics game. Maybe a watchdogs type game with the setting of Piltover and Zaun? A full blown rpg made by Cd Projekt Red? I'm just hype thinking abut it. I got to say, the coming year(s)is looking very promising for Riot with all these new project announcements. It's something I longed for them to do and was waiting when they would.....even if it is a long time.

What I really want to say is I'm glad the community back then really pushed for more focus on the lore. With out that, I'm not sure how the outcome would have came out. As you can see, from our pleas for lore the narrative team made an effort to make lore just as important as anything else surrounding league. I really look forward to these future games. The lore for league happen to be one of my favorites of all time.

More game ideas: -Play as a poro. Snuggle the entire Champion roster -Play as a Little Legend and do little quests for the Champions in your region -Reverse horror game where you play as the Void and spawn sins against existence to devour Runeterra -Massive dating sim featuring every adult Champion

It would be intriguing to see characters shine in other game types. The MOBA has always been limited by the expression and animation of which champions could be, plus LoR is just a card game so its very limiting as well.

I'm thinking mostly about expanding the dialogue and personality of champions, particularly less represented ones. But VA's would be interesting, like would Riot be capable to ever bring back James Faulkner for his phenomenal portrayal of Swain! Or would new VAs come along?

And we thought Riot was done with announcing new games. sigh

Nevertheless, I'm pretty pumped to see what they've been cooking back there. Hopefully I'll be able to keep track of them all...

Please do an RPG where your kayn and he has this full blown story about trying to beat rhaast but in the end they become friends and have to team up together with the seven human souls so they can beat the legendary primal aatrox before he can finish his army he has been building or something

Thank the almighty Kos (or some say Kosm) you mentioned soulsbourne (soulsekibourne now?).

When Riot Forge was announced that was the first tought that came to mind. I imagined a game where you a play as a Freljordian, could be a created character that isn't necessairly Freljordian, in Freljord and throughout the game the player must overcome areas and bosses as massive obstacles to progression and we uncover some story every time we break down one of those obstacles. The point that I thought about was to have a story where our character that isn't an Iceborn, has to overcome environments/enemies that even Icebrons have problems with. Our character would struggle greatly since he/she wasn't made for these obstacles, but it could serve to test the perserverance of the player, while having the game reward the player for continuing to move onwards. Not at the beggining of the game of course, but latter on you could talk with Iceborn NPCs and they could show amazement to your accomplishments and the such and/or others could shrug them off, your accomplishments in-game and outside of the game would be greater and greater as you progress through the game.

God I can't wait to see what comes out of this. Being able to learn more about the world, more Voice Lines, seing our favourite champions move/emote, seing them in in-game cinematics, getting a better look at them and even maybe having dialogue with them for Christ's sake! This is something I have been wanting to happen for almost 7 years! I want to not be hyped so that I won't be dissapointed, but deep down, I'm pretty hyped.

Even if i love the idea... i think this may create a big mess in the lore, since many different developers may percieve the lore in different ways and then contradictions may happen.

Will some games become "more canon" than others or what?

This is no different from Sega licensing Sonic to third-party devs and publishers. Let the flood of Early Access-tier titles begin! Personally, I can't wait to watch AVGN's review of LoL '06.

I saw CD Project Red and my mind melted... They're making cyberpunk 2077 with a lot of capacity for vertical exploration... THAT SCREAMS ZAUN!!! I would do unspeakable things for a open world rpg in Piltover and Zaun in the style of cyberpunk 2077 [sg-lux]

I was thinking something similar a few days ago about something similar regarding Riot's project f, but it could work just as well through Forge. I can't, i trust, be the only person who remembers Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, and I have been making up visions in my mind of a LoL themed game along those lines. There would be a hub world, of course with an item shop, and many of the existing locations around Runeterra share archetypes with the Gauntlet levels: Forsaken Provence/Zaun Mountain Kingdom/Targon Castle Stronghold/Demacia Sky Dominion/Piltover Forest Realm/Ixtal Desert Lands/Shurima Ice Domain/Freljord Dream World/ Void Desecrated Temple & Underworld/Shadow Isles Battlegrounds/Noxus plus all the other locations around Runeterra that expand the location options. Like Gauntlet, the game could be open to either single or multiplayer, but it would differ in not being limited to eight hero types , but having all the champions in LoL available. We also know, based on the Odyssey event, that the champs can be adjusted to deal with large amounts of enemies while preserving the their basic mechanics. Champs would have access to their q, w, and e abilities normally (that is, without mana or energy), and their ultimates could charge in a similar fashion to Gauntlet's Turbo Attacks. Overall, I think this would work better for LoL, as the simpler gameplay, besides being demonstrated in Odyssey, would allow for the full LoL roster compared to the greater complexity of something like Path of Exile or Diablo. Here's hoping.

P.S. It would get even better if we could apply our skins to this type of game.

Legend of Zelda game starring Ezreal?

JustARivenMain12/7/2019, 6:16:05 PM2 votes

Soulslike based in the Shadow Isles with the Final Boss being Mordekaiser, but your efforts are in vain at the end because none of the Shadow Isles champs can truly die.

That would be nice

Thread loses credibility when you say "soulsborn". Leave "born" out of it :).
