SEE Virtual Worlds gets rights to Total Recall and more photo

Would a massively multiplayer take on Total Recall be crazy enough to work? Hell, it couldn't be any worse than the classically laughed at licensed NES game. Planet Michael publisher SEE Virtual Worlds has obtained the necessary rights to make such a game based on the 2012 film remake.

Let's take a step back and look at the absurd list of intellectual properties the company now has in its possession: Men in Black 3, Asterix, War of the Worlds (2005), and Waterworld. "These properties are tied to memorable moments and incredible characters that players are going to interact with in future SEE-created digital and online interactive video games," says CEO Martin Biallas.

Hilariously enough, Waterworld would probably make for the most interesting game on a base, conceptual level. I call dibs on Dennis Hopper.

If they buy the rights to The Postman then I call dibs on Tom Petty.

Wow. So, SEE Virtual Worlds is shopping in the "bump & dent" aisle for new IPs. Buying "Waterworld" is like buying a "slightly irregular" sweater with three sleeves.

A multiplayer Running Man game could work better, methinks.

MMO for Total Recall?..

...Get OUR asses to Mars...

Also, three boobs and comical lack-of-oxygen faces abound. Dibs on character class with sentiment being growing out of torso, underneath my 3 boobs.

They should make one big game that combines all of those licenses. Now that would be an MMO I'd check out.

Could the part in the Waterworld game where you have to pee in a filter and then drink it require Kinect?

@Jordan Devore

He won't be in it, they're replacing him with another MiB director..Also

***SPOILERS***

As far as the plot goes the movie takes place back in time when agent K was a younger agent (and will be played by Josh Brolin) and J (still Will Smith) has to go back to work with him.. So even still Torn probably wouldn't be in it any way.
