“Dave Gibbons,” you might be asking yourself, “Where have I heard the name Dave Gibbons before?” Well, without getting all you-must-be-this-tall-to-be-a-nerd on you, the name might have jumped out at you from the front of one or two graphic novels, like one called The Watchmen? Well, in your daily dose of “I don’t really care, Johnny,” news, he’s coming back to video games reports Eurogamer.
I say coming back because Gibbons was a collaborator on Revolution Software’s 1994 dystopian adventure game, Beneath a Steel Sky. In addition to having perhaps the best name for a game ever, Beneath a Steel Sky was a pretty unique point and click adventure game for its time, avoiding Sierra Online’s moralistic straightforwardness for a darker, more complicated tone, as well as choosing a more dry sense of humor instead of Lucasarts’ token wackiness. Revolution Software is of course particularly known for the Broken Sword series of adventure games as well.
The project hasn’t started yet, as Gibbons is currently working on a Secret Service graphic novel with Mark Millar, and Revolution Software working on a *coughcough* excuse me, I seem to *coughnot-so-secret-Broken-Sword-gamecough* have something in my throat. But it’s promised to be an all new, original adventure with Gibbons’ signature artwork decorating. He’s very quick to point out (for Broken Sword fans) that it won’t be taking place in France, and there aren’t going to be any catacombs in it. In the meantime, if you haven’t had a chance to play Beneath a Steel Sky, you’re in luck, as it’s a perfect excuse to go over to Good Old Games and sign up for an account, because it’s free there. Go get it, you have my blessing.

Still have my original copy of “beneath the steel sky”, on Amiga, got stuck and never finished it, but still a great game
No problem!
The guy has done shit loads more than Watchmen….
Judge Dredd.Rogue Trooper.Dan Dare.Marvel/DC etc etc.
Oh, I know that. It’s just for brevity’s sake I thought I’d put the big one out there rather than discuss his whole back catalog.

GET OUT OF MY MIND!
And, of course, as you as you mentioned Watchmen, my forehead began to hurt due to a hard palm-slap.
That is one of the things I’d love, another Megaverse game. Something along the lines of being a Bounty Hunter that way I can visit The Big Meg and hear about but never have to interact with Joe (which I think would be for the best really). Being a non mainline character could really open up exploration of the city too, get to know the different types of Judges and such instead of just the classic Street Judge. Even opens the possibles to travel to the other locales..course that in itself depends on what era it is and if Joe hasn’t wiped it off the face of the planet yet. A Megaverse RPG..yea that’s the ticket.
