BUT I'd love to see the adaptation as some kind of RPG though (I can't see it working as anything else really). You can never have enough Roland Deschain!
How to make a Dark Tower game work:
1. Set it immediately AFTER the Seventh book (at the start of the new cycle). Roland possessing the horn of Eld ensures that an alternate cycle begins. That means you can touch on many of the characters, areas, or situations in the original cycle, but do them in different and unique ways that are better suited for a game adaption. You get to start at "The Man In Black fled to the desert, and the Gunslinger followed..." but after that? Up to you.
2. Make it free-roam, a'la Fallout 3, with you playing as Roland.
3. Make the doors featured in The Drawing of the Three more plentiful and integral to the overall design. They could be used to instantly jump from the wastelands to the City of Lud, maybe even to Gilead itself. Some missions would involve directly jumping into other people... in our reality.
4. GO STEPHEN KING NUTS. The Dark Tower is the axis of all his work, where all his created realities converge; we should experience it. You should encounter Randall Flagg, Dinky Earnshaw... maybe even Pennywise?
It's very clear from the trailer that the rivalry is between the Tet Corporation and Sombra is going to be the main focus of whatever this is. The only glimpses of Mid-World are through drawings, everything else is reality based.
In any case, for whatever faults there are in the last few volumes (and there are quite a few), The Dark Tower remains one of my favorite series of fiction. Any sort of interactive time spent in any of its many universes intrigues me greatly.
The books are so schizophrenic and change pace and plot elements so often that it would make no sense.
