Is there any book that you'd like to see made into a video-game?

1984 by Kojima
Imagine a narrative-driven, first-person dystopian stealth game
As a 1984 and Kojima fan that idea is repulsive.

Devs are free to take inspiration for such books without actually making it a direct adaptation. Half-Life 2 for example takes a lot of inspiration from 1984.

I would kill for a game based on the Foundation series or an actual good AAAA LoTR rpg. Getting games based on Where Eagles Dare and Guns of Navarone would epic as well, Alistair Maclean books would translate well to good co-op shooter games

Snow Crash also

The Middle Earth Shadow games exist and both games are masterpieces
I was more talking about playing the elven part of the equation, It would be awesome if we could play an LoTR rpg with legolas or aragon as protagonists.

I think there's something to The Shining but incorporating more things from the book. Hallucination scenes, lion statue boss fight, reality bending ghost/witch and bar, the maze, temperature and insanity meters, Jack stalking through the hotel like Jack Baker, finding notes or artifacts to the Native American background to the hotel, or newspaper clippings to previous killers and theirs redone as a level or sequence. It could be very RE2 Remake/Splatterhouse-y

The battles are secondary to me than the choices/cutscenes and gags, in this instance I would sorta like a mobile game auto fast forward/auto win fights button.

... And not a book for the thread, sorry, but I'd love it if all long running cartoons like Simpsons or futurama would get the South Park Stick Of Truth treatment.

There are some fantasy Chinese novels I would like to see in videogame form.
yeah a martial god asura or one of those jin yong novels would also work very well. I think there is a game based on Jin Yong's novel in development

xuanyuan sword 7 , gujian 3 and sword and fairy 7 are all pretty good wuxia/martial arts games if you looking for games in english. I searched they are making a new game Code: To Jin Yong in UE5 so hype for that game
