Title: Land Before Time Video Game ideas.
Post by: Goldenwind on April 27, 2020, 09:08:24 PM
There hasn't been a single Land Before Time game at all since the GBA games and maybe the flash games to advertise the TV series. (DINOLAND ADVENTURE DOESN'T COUNT!!) So I thought I make a topic for video game lovers like me to share their ideas on what they would see in a modern age Land Before Time game! :PAli Feel free to discuss ideas and share!

This is a game idea I have for TLBT for quite a while now. This was inspired by the Jojo Capcom games. XD

Land Before Time Great Journey game concept:

The main objective of this game is to beat and/or survive the sharptooth and/or disaster in each stage. In Story Mode, many characters will be playable with usually the story deciding who will be played as next. There will also be a Free Mode that you can go back to previous levels choosing your own character and a secret Sleep Story Mode consisting of what if scenarios, Doc vs. Chomper's nightmare version of Doc, Ozzy and Strut vs. Dil and Ichy, Thud vs. Screech and RedClaw, and Pterano vs. An enemy alien of the Rainbow Faces.

Every character has a chargeable determination attack that can knock back smaller enemies when fully charged or cause some bigger enemies to flinch (Hyp can have a chargable punch flurry, Spike a charge and tail whip, and Shorty, a rock shot). The amount of damage dealt is situational however. Big Sharpteeth won’t tumble to one of Cera’s charges like a smaller Fast Biter. When a certain action is performed based on subtle prompts, a clue will be revealed about the enemy or stage through a inner monologue of the character or a cutscene. This is called a Hidden Advantage (In the Jojo Capcom games it's called Secret Factors), for example, Cera knocking into a cave pillar causing rocks to fall or luring a sharptooth onto an unstable surface. Characters like Hyp, Thud, Topps, will have more offensive moves given their nature and personalities. Certain stages can have alternate objectives, like escaping or even stealth.

If there had to be a story for this, it would be a grand epic where a lot of previous characters are involved. Probably having to stop an evil society of sharpteeth that could consist of some corrupted leafeaters, helping out a herd who was scattered on their way to the valley, searching for a stone of cold fire to stop a prophesied disaster of sorts (the extinction of all dinos), etc.

@Goldenwind that game would be EPIC!

My vision of a Land Before Time game would be sort of like Donkey Kong Country Returns, I guess. There are a lot of environments in that game that kind of remind me of LBT. You'd have to move the LBT characters through different worlds (jungle, cliffs, caves, etc.), and then at the end of each world, there'd be a boss battle with one of the villains. Maybe each world would have you use a specific member of the Gang all the way through, like they'd somehow become separated from each other, and once you beat every world, the Gang is finally back together.

@RainbowFaceProtege Thanks!  :)petrie Your idea sounds like fun! I like to see a LBT platformer done like Donkey Kong Country!  :^^spike The structure with using one member of the gang for each world reminds me of the Return to the Great Valley for the PS1, though having boss battles and a actual reunion of the gang automatically makes it better. X) (The game on PS1 has no real ending)

@Enchanted-Valley96 Yeah the PS1 games had questionable voice acting.  :bestsharptooth What the heck is with Petrie being everyone's tutor in those games?

One of the more fun experiences I've experienced was watching a speedrun of the GBA Land Before Time game actually being played completely seriously at speedrunning marathon Summer Games Done Quick. :OhYou

I actually saw it happen live even before I joined GoF, haha.

There was an actual game called Great Valley Racing Adventure. I have the feeling it didn't have as much tech as your typical racing game, though. :SmugSpike

The game looked fun, but it is no Racer in games like Rayman Arena. It could use some more chars, Hyp and his pals existed at this time, why stick to just 4? This is called Great Valley racing.   :thudstonk

That Big Water Adventure doesn't look bad compared to the other game (thank goodness)! The animation has definitely improved, and I actually wouldn't mind playing this one (if the voices got annoying, I could always mute it). :lol Of course, though, the fact that I lack a PS1 is a pretty big obstacle... :p

I meant the Big Water PS1 game, not the one you showed video of. No, that game you showed looked literally unbearable. I get that CGI technology had a long way to go at that point, but how does anything with that kind of awful voice acting make it to production? There are people on this forum alone who can do FAR better impressions of the LBT characters! :rolleyes

One woman voiced Littlefoot, Cera and Ducky.

They must of had a low, low budget to get somebody who wasn't suited.

What was wrong with using the current voice actors recording number five at the time?

Oh yeah, I saw that speedrun of the LBT game during GDQ as well haha (or at least caught the video of it once it uploaded if it was during the middle of the night). I remember seeing it pop up in the schedule and it immediately caught my eye

Anyone who has seen my crossover prompt knows of the idea I had for an LBT game :p
Though honestly, a DKC style platformer would make much more sense.
Title: Re: Land Before Time Video Game ideas.
Post by: Little Bro on May 21, 2020, 01:35:19 PM
I thought that LBT VII would make a good game. The final world could be Threehorn Peak. There could also be 2 modes. One where you're Ducky, and one where you're the rest of the gang. Rainbow Faces could be your guides.

Wait, an even better idea. A video game where you take the Yellowbellies to Berry Valley! Who wouldn't want to do that? (jk)  :PCera

I’d like Quest for The Stone of Cold Fire, where instead of knights of the table round searching for the Holy Graal you are searching for Stone of Cold Fire as members of the Gang of Seven. Each would have armor and weapons that allign with their types, Spike would have a mace tail.

Littlefoot is Sir Gawain 
Chomper is Sir Lancelot
Petrie is Sir Tristan
Spike is Sir Lionel
Ducky is Lady Isolde 
Cera is Morgan le Fay
Ruby is Guinevere

Would I play that more than Mario Kart? Hard to say. But, LBT Kart would be a bit odd just because these dinos already invented the go-kart. :lol Eh, I would have to play it.

I'd personally love some sort of cross between a platformer and an adventure game...like, you'd start out in the Great Valley and you'd have free roam of most of it, with a bunch of characters from the films waiting around in areas to give you random minigame quests like in one of the earlier Spyro games (for instance, race against Cera to knock down as many treestars as possible before a timer runs out), but there'd also be one character you could interact with to advance the plot, and this would unlock new areas of the map and give you new tasks/minigames, and so by the end you'd have resolved whatever the overarching story was, but unlocked a giant sandbox stretching from "Big Water" to the environs of the first film that you'd be free to run around in. It could also be interesting if you could switch between characters, with them all having different abilities that they can use to get past obstacles and the like...

Seems like this would be the ideal mixture of elements to me...an overarching new story to get invested in, minigames for timewasting fun when not doing the main story, and at the end a huge world to play in and use for screenshots for RPGs and the like! :)

That would legit be fun. My childhood games were all platformers, and it'd be so nice to see my favorite kids' movies be adapted into a classic-style platformer game.

I would like open-world LBT game with some RPG components, huge world to explore. With option to play as any of gang of seven members, meeting many characters from movies and series, more side-quests in many forms referring to these characters. It goes without saying, that there would be also fighting part against sharpteeth. Main story would not have to be very complex, but will put much more emphasis on side-quests. There would be also a few more playable characters, able to add into gang if befriended good enough and being helped by protagonists. Dialogues and side-quests especially with characters seen in movies and  a few other new main characters would be very elaborated, with options to answer to a problem in few different ways, which could at the end of the day affect, if character likes protagonist, or not. With this huge world, there would be many options to explore very far, there would be forest area, ocean coastline, plains, desert, mountains, even one, or two other valleys similar to "Great Valley" far away, memorable areas from movies too. Somewhere in this world would be nearly every character from movie to find, even if just for small dialog.
