We have a Twitter and a Facebook page now? Shit just got real son. "
Just when I thought this topic couldn't get any better. This game has got to be made now!

Keith David should voice Lincoln.

#210 Posted by GoodKn1ght (490 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

has any one tried to make a giantbomb page?  I know that its not really allowed under the rules but i'm sure they would make an exception for this

One day, Ryan's head will explode from the ego boost he is getting from this. For yay, he hath an army of nerds at his command, willing to make his every whim a reality.  I have to say, though, this artwork is top notch. But all I really want is to know what Vinny thought of that was so brilliant it couldn't be mentioned on the podcast.

@rjayb89: No, Liam Neeson of course.

@vanjamrgan: That is the best thing the world has ever witnessed. The art style on the "jar" is flawless.
#213 Posted by Dethfish (3366 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I think Mickey Rourke should do the voice of Lincoln. Nolan North might be better as the brain.

#214 Posted by karatetron (653 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Didn't they say on the bombcast that the time machine is a phonebooth? (I was thinking something along the lines of Bill and Ted)

#215 Posted by super_machine (1904 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Someone should compile a page with all the Lincoln Force art. That would be sweet. 

#216 Posted by demonbear (1820 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I am having a tough time recently, i got dumped by my gf 2 weeks ago and its being tough for me but this thread got me laughing out loud, which is something I haven't done recently. For that, thank you Giantbomb Forums.

@super_machine: I'm attempting to at least put them all on the twitter, but a physical page would be nice. Who owns lincolnforce.com? 
 
EDIT: If I was just to start an RPG Maker version of lincoln force, could we get a wiki page that we use as storage for all these?

I own lincolnforce.com. I'll put up what you guys want me to put up. Or if it's cool with everyone who is making the box art, I'll just make a box art section or something.

@gla55jAw: I'm okay with you putting my drawing up 
 
Thanks for the compliments everyone :D
#223 Posted by gla55jAw (2650 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
 
I received my copy of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter today. The inside jacket actually says this. "Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an axe, Abe sets out on a path of vengence that will lead him all the way to the white house." I cannot wait to read this book.

Oh, we reached the point of no return on this long ago. Actually, I find it remarkably humbling that the community would jump on-board with my silly Lincoln Force idea and flesh it out in ways that I've been far too lazy to do myself. 
 
Wait, I think I'm confusing the word "humble" with "Napoleonic". Nevermind!

To be clear, I wasn't criticizing at all, I find this whole thing very amusing. In fact....

 You now have an in-game cameo!

Damn, I didn't know about this topic! Has anyone actually started making Lincoln Force? 'cause I just started doing some character drawings for a flash version. ^^

#231 Posted by Th3_James (2540 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Helicopters raped his mother, killed his father, and are starting to fuck with history....There is nothing honest left, except Abe.

#232 Posted by VilhelmNielsen (1704 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Dudes, I heard that mid-way through the game, it's gonna change into an RTS, ruining it's potential for good review scores.
 
Also, it'll run on the Infinity Engine, and feature Speed Tree.

Good lord I don't know what I'd do without Giant Bomb.
 
You guys are the shit.

@Tuggah:  
Duder what is going on at your department?  Is someone leaking shit?  Variety says Uwe Boll claims he's attached to Lincoln Force movie adaptation.  The Hollywood Reporter is thinking about running the piece tomorrow morning. 
 
  
nice artworks community

I kinda ran out of ideas.. Didn't know what to put in the frames : D
 


That's my try, anyawy.

this has gotten way out of hand..god i love it!

#238 Posted by SpamSpu (1 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Here is my idea for a plot twist.

What da ya think?
#239 Posted by Tuggah (1070 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
@the_purgatory_station: I heard that was a ploy by the producers to lower the expectations for the movie then when it turns out to be the best movie since the last movie that Keanu Reeves was in.
#240 Posted by Wes899 (2068 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

A response I got from Ryan via facebook the other day. 
 
"  I continue to be amazed at how people are responding to this ridiculous, stupid idea. Keep the retarded dream alive!"

#241 Posted by shakra (252 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I got permission from Ryan to put this level in a game I'm making for the soon-to-fail ipad. I'll make sure it's in the free lite version for the 3 of you who get ipads. 

#242 Posted by AjayRaz (12251 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

i love you guys. jesus christ. 

#243 Posted by FireSketch (827 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
@shakra: Awesome! Can you reveal any exclusive to Giant Bomb breaking information about the game?
#244 Posted by FireSketch (827 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Lincoln Force!!!
What do you think? Feel free to pm me for the psd if you like it ^^

@Cheapoz: if you want to post an image not hosted on GB (tinypic for example) then you can use html code:

#246 Posted by shakra (252 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
@FireSketch: I have a bunch of stuff up at the sites blog about the 'making of' the game so far. When the game is done on or near the ipad release I'm sending game codes to the GB fellas so they can openly mock my months of sweat and tears.
#247 Posted by Chubbaluphigous (560 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Lincoln Force must be in the PAX 10.  I want to buy this game.

#248 Posted by VisariLoyalist (2988 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
@Droop: you win sir
#249 Posted by natetodamax (18927 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Lincoln Force should have a page on this site.

#250 Posted by VisariLoyalist (2988 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

ok guys, (and I understand if noone cares cause I have no pretty pictures), I think we need to expand the scope of this game a little bit. So we already have the helicopters being evil and fucking up history part. Let's not limit this to lincoln correcting his own history though. He should be fighting helicopters and going off big ass ramps throughout history. He'll be defending FDR and Winston Churchill, stopping the helicopters from sabotaging the civilizations of antiquity, and finally quelling an alien invasion. Oh did I forget to mention that helicopters are alien lifeforms.
 
Also we need RPG elements such as lincoln skill trees, choosing maybe between gunnery, hat throwing, or john wilkes booth attacks (magic psychic powers). Dialogue trees as well and multiple endings going off on different possible time paths. 
 
Art style is tricky, maybe something like TF2 would work or maybe hyper realistic would be better not sure at this point.
 
Suggestions and criticisms welcome
