Kane99 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I always find it beautiful when a popular video game pays respects to a deceased fan of theirs, by inserting them in the game or inserting a note or an Easter egg referencing them. I think they did something for a World of Warcraft player who had passed away. They have a memorial for him in a certain area in the world. And I think there's been cases of other games paying respects to people who had passed on. Would you like to be memorialized in a video game like that? I'd be dead so I honestly wouldn't care, but I still think it's cool, because then that persons children or family can see that this person meant something to a lot of people. Or maybe just a few, but I still feel it's special for friends and family. What do you think? Would you want a memorial in your favorite video game after you died?

Ravenfreak Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think it would be cool to be featured in a game after I passed. There was a well known Tech member on Sonic Retro who passed away in 2013, so there's a little homage to him in Sonic Mania which came out in 2017. When he was still alive he made a Sonic 1 hack that allowed you to play as a Motobug, there's a motobug named Jimmy in Sonic Mania that Heavy Robo rides. It's named after Polygon Jim, the guy who passed away. Makes sense since mania was created by members in the community. I thought that was really awesome.

Reality vs Adventure Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I would like my death to be memorialized in a game like Assassins Creed Origins where pyramids were built and underground sacred passages. Jewels everywhere. Why the fuck not? I collect mineral specimens. I have seen and felt the magic.I want to be buried with my treasures. I am a dragon. Yeah, make that the game. I’m hoarding my treasures. I sleep with it; I feel it; I’m one with it. My family members wants to be incinerated. I used to want that until I saw beauty of gems. I want to be buried with them. Grant me it’s powers as a skeleton, spirit, soul. Things we can never understand. Nothing is real. But those rocks, they radiate energy. Something has to be real. When I die, respect the rocks I collected. Each one has a story. Bury me with them all. So that aliens will come down one day, thousands of years from now, and look at my body covered in minerals and crystals. They will think I was a king.

Debashis Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yes, I think it would be a unique and lasting way to be remembered. It would allow others to experience a part of my life and keep my memory alive in a tangible way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizdustry Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’m sure if you were a video game designer you could probably create a video game, with a character as yourself and having the ability for players to play through the different ages. Then, set the release date to when you die.Would take a ton of work but definitely possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 This is something that's going to bring a sort of fame to the person in question. I'm very sure that most people will definitely be interested in having themselves immortalised in a video game. So many generations will about them with how they are portrayed in the game. It's only who doesn't like fame that will decline such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 I think it’s touching when games honor fans like that. It creates a lasting legacy. I’d love to be remembered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 It would be a true honor to be memorialized in a game. Like for example, to be part of the Van der Linde gang. Or an advisor to Link. Or have your picture hanging in the next Layers Of Fear game. Maybe a playable character in a game. Whatever the context and reason for being honored like that it’s always welcome. I don’t think any gamer, casual or hardcore, would object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I think it would be a really meaningful gesture, especially for my loved ones. While I wouldn’t be around to appreciate it, having a small piece of me live on in a game I loved could give my family and friends a special way to remember me. It would almost feel like leaving a part of my legacy in a world that meant something to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesK Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I think it would be incredibly meaningful to memorialize people who have made a significant contribution to the community; it's an incredible way to honor them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 This is an interesting question and one I have not heard asked before. I think it would be cool to see a game memorialize you in the game after you have died. I would imagine that would be a cool and even now, unique feature should any game choose to do that.

Well, it sounds like a good concept to go by with a game's development but what's going to be the criteria for choosing whose life is worth making a video game to memorise?
