The Hunger Games Video Game

In my media writing class, we've been assigned to make a TV commercial for a fictional product.

And I have to do it.

I mean, a Hunger Games video game? How FUN could that be!?

What do you think I should include?

  1. That is SO awesome. I'd buy it!

    Like, maybe you're assigned to a district (a random one each time?) and you have to fight in the Games? Or maybe you'd play as Katniss? Then there could be like hunting-in-the-woods type stuff & running-from-the-capital PLUS the Games. IDK, there's a lot of potential! But it's all potentially awesome. Also, there should be lots of Gale. Lots and lots of Gale. Preferably without a shirt tra la la.

  2. There should be the option of being a multi-player game (maybe w/ internet, like xbox online) where people can form alliances -- but since you know you'll turn on each other, have some sort of bonuses for when they turn and are successful.
    Also, you should get to decide which district you are, whether you're a career, etc. Theoretically, you could have a whole string of commercials exploring the different sides, playing through a character's eyes.
    Good luck!

  3. Definitely a fight over the Cornucopia! Explosive moment. Do you get a gun, or a loaf of bread? :?

  9. You should be assigned a district and, like in the book, sent to the games. Then the story should go different ways for different characters and you can add a custom mode... where u can design ur own arena!

  10. I think you should be assigned a district, pick a name (or have a randomized selection option, then you go directly to the reaping and are on your way to the Capitol. You stylist would dress you and you would ride through the streets with you district partner/opponent. You go quickly through the interviews etc. and are dropped into a (again randomized from a database) arena. You have the choice of fighting or fleeing, and, based on you strength, intelligence, etc. you would have abilities to survive. This could be really fun if it was actually made into a virtual role-play type/battle game.

  11. if there were a game to exsist it should have a customemode where you create an arena, a character, and chose district, etc. u should also go through a pre game storyline and after game storyline as it was in the book. Then there shoul be a random mode with the game having the known facts about previous hunger games arenas with added chosen or randomized arenas with chosen or randomized districts. Then an onlie mode where you can use programed or player created characters and arenas. A game like ths would work for any system including the newer motion systems.

  12. i think it should be like for xbox live or the ps network. it will be live COD where u can like promote and preistige. you could like or buy skills for a bow and arrow or knife or sword. then you could have a campain where u go through all that katniss has gone through. then there can be mini games like defeat the capital and like hunting in the woods. then u could like create a areana and ppl and u could play 1 on 1 etc. then on the live thing you played in 1 of the prevous areanas and there can be a quarter quell weekend like once every month. just some thoughts but i would buy it.

  13. You could be randomly sorted into a random district. You could get picked for the hunger games,by hunting, you have to collect coins for weapons, gear and obviously something to wear. When the time comes for the games, you have to pick stuff up that you need and is worth the money. Use the gear to battle and finally win. Hm. Ok bye!
