>Arguably the most important story of the entire Western civilization
>Barely any vidya based on it
Meanwhile the East is shitting out dozens of Romance of the 3 Kingdom and Journey to the West games every year.
Hell even the Arthur myth is still getting way more medias despite having no canonical text.
Why don't anyone want to make games based on the most well known war and heroes of the ancient world??

You'll get a Hamilton inspired musical before you'll get a full fledge video game based on it

Greeks are not yet properly broken so we can't chance them having another surge of nationalism/ethnic pride

Define story, cause I think it would be "modern mythology" in terms of ancient greek cultures. In terms of western literature, that would be "El Quijote" by Cervantes

Japan and Taiwan are milking that shit too retard

This nigga fucked up Ares too which is way more impressive

generic slop for low iq retards who think they are smart

>>712787262
Maybe they can make their own game like pic related where they steal their statues back lol

>>712787038 (OP)
That's because there are dozens upon dozens of western stories, legends and myths that can be adapted into games, while the chinese only have those two and keep retelling them over and over again

The West has been occupied by people who despise its heritage since before video games were a medium.

No time or money to be spent adapting the classics when the cattle need another WWII schlock to remind them to hate Nazis.

>Arguably the most important story of the entire Western civilization

That's the Arthurian cycle, and there's plenty of games based on that

>>712787341

the point is chynah doesn't have much of a choice in what they're allowed to make.

miss me with that

>>712787319
I mean in the sense that it has inspired countless other works of art and great figures over the course of history, Alexander being the most famous example

Thankfully there's a soulslike achilles game

Has anyone played this? Is it worth it? At this point I'll play even a mid Ancient Greece/Rome kino

>>712787442

I only know of the Capcom arcade game from like 30 years ago

didn't the Dynasty Warriors guys make one?

The Iliad is basically a long, whiny soap opera about a bunch of sweaty Greeks and Trojans fighting over a woman named Helen, who apparently couldn’t pick a side. Achilles, the ultimate drama queen, throws a tantrum because someone took his favorite prize, sulks in his tent, and only gets back in the game when his buddy Patroclus gets killed. Meanwhile, Hector’s trying to be a good guy but keeps getting dragged into this mess. The gods are just a bunch of meddling reality TV producers, picking favorites and stirring up trouble for laughs. It’s all swords, sandals, and overblown egos, dragging on for way too many books until Troy finally burns. The end.

eh...

>>712787239
The Song of Achilles' consequences on the discussion of Achilles and Patroclus cannot be understated
You have retards mention that gay fanfic in every youtube video related to the subject now

>>712787038 (OP)
All the Iliad could be is a non-descript 3D adventure game circa 2000's vintage
Or an Assasin's Creed title without the assassins or creeds

greek mythology media is in a weird place right now, for some reason they want to take all the female figures from the myths and make girlbosses out of all of them.
Maybe they'll make a game where you play as Penthesilea and single handedly take out all the greeks

>>712787038 (OP)
romance of the three kingdoms has a lot more going on, with more different sides, more battles, and more politics, it's much more dynamic and better suited to making games out of
the iliad has the problem of basically just being about one really long siege between two main armies. Most of the story is about the heroes and the gods, and different heroes dueling.
romance of the three kingdoms works because it's fairly open ended with what you can do with the story, you can have it set at a variety of different years in a variety of different places, at many different battles. But the iliad is much more story driven, and an adaptation would end up following pretty much the same story every time.

>>712787728
Greek mythology is too macho for the modern world, so must be subverted and turned on its head

>>712787716
This is one of my favorite songs but the retards in the comment section keep insisting that it's a gay love song about achilles and patroclus just because it uses his name

>>712787038 (OP)
This game could've been kino if they didn't make the characters look so dumb and focus more on the narrative

>>712787815
>too macho

nobody tell him

>>712787561
Some hack canadian studio tried to make a troy musou for them but it fucking sucked
The devs shit talked the fuck out of dynasty warriors gameplay to try get themselves over with western games journalists before it released but then delivered something far worse lol

>>712787781
rot3k has too many damn characters

>>712787621
Maybe you should actually read the book you're basing your opinions about instead of that dumb movie from 2005 you know

>>712787883
It wasn't that bad, solid 6/10 game.

Gilgamesh mogs
stinky garum slurpers go home

>>712787038 (OP)
There's at least 1

The Iliad gets really rough near the end. Look up the painting Andromache by Georges Rochegrosse.

>>712787949
game?

>>712788006
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>712787959
Yeah it's half about the consequences of war after all

>>712787815
The Illiad is a morality play about how war and greed are bad
All the main characters get bad ends

>>712787542
Your mom is a cape shit. She fights cocks by sucking them for fucks sake

>>712787510
Iirc it was a decent turn based rpg

>>712788006
Total War Troy. It's a nu-TW game so it's polarizing to say the least. But the devs put a lot of effort into the world design so at least it can make some excellent screenshots

give me ONE (1) game with historical bronze age aegean armor

>>712787959
the illiad ends on Hector's funeral, a year or so before they pull the horse trick. throwing Astyanax off the walls of troy happened at the end which the illiad doesn't cover.

>>712787728
Plenty of Hera getting pissed off at Zeus' philandering and cursing people too, that could be fun.

It's almost scary how nonwhites have basically zero culture.
you can count an endless amount of classics written by europeans/americans, while niggers, gooks and arabs have written...maybe 10 classics between all of them? it feels almost unreal when you think about it

>>712787038 (OP)
I played an idle game called Ballad of Heroes that was based on Greek mythology that was fun. The protagonists go through various trials Greek heroes went through.

>>712788235
This might be the most ignorant post ever written in /v/

>>712788281
How did that Nigga Homer even remember all that shit when he was narrating this story?

I want to make a game where your character is Oedipus but it never explicitly tells you that
But I feel like someone must have beat me to it

>>712788281
there's also the gods bitching at each other for the other half of the book, if you're into that.

>>712788281
>sitting around the bonfire, hearing the old story telling reciting the Trojan war
>hearing you and your mate's ancestors got mentioned alongside Achilles and Odysseus
That's probably what peak kino thousands of years ago was like.

Bronze age simply sucks, there are no fun in it.

>>712788393
he made it up as he went, which was the only way to make it all rhyme anyway

>>712788426
That 100% sounds like a visual novel you could find on itch.io

>>712788393
He made it the fuck up, same as anybody has to do when writing about some shit that happened at least 400 years ago.

America has RDR2, China has wukong, where is the Hercules game?

>>712788393
The Ancient Greeks used details like that to help remember the story, these people thought that writing things down was for retards
