This doesn't really sound like my cup of tea. When I think "John Wick game" I think of something like Hotline Miami, or any given fast-paced shooter. Hell, if a JW game came out that took inspiration from third person shooters but instead of a vanilla cover system they sped up or made more fluent the movement and fleshed out a hand to hand system that would probably be "perfect" in terms of adaptation.

So basically like that Jason Bourne game

Never played it tbh, I was just shooting from the hip. This new game might actually replicate the feel of the movies, but it still seems like an odd pick.

Reminds me of Shadowrun.

The idea isn't completely terrible but for the John Wicke franchise you expect something like Max Payne or like someone mentioned Hotline Miami but in 3D. Seems like they went with a slower more methodical game style just to be different on purpose but it looks alright. Epic Store exclusivity kills any real interesting in buying it for me but the game itself isn't bad looking.

I think John Wick would work best like a Batman: Arkham game, combine gunplay with close combat. Like beating someone to the ground and putting two in the head, or moves with a knife. A very fast-paced sort of game with not a lot of distance between you and the enemies. Maybe a third-person shooter where you have two modes: Long range gun battles and close combat with weapons. You can choose to engage at range when there's a lot, then move in and beat them down. So it'd really be quick. I don't know about cover mechanics, since Wick isn't about long range shoot-outs.

Maybe have not a health bar, but an 'adrenaline system' or 'willpower system', where you get progressively more fucked up, but you heal through kills and doing combos and executions. The better and more complex, the larger the heal. So if you're in a desperation mode and you murk enemies in cool ways, you go back to full. It'd be cool if wounds stayed, though. So if your leg is fucked up, you can't move as fast, but it doesn't have an overall affect on your 'health'. Or if you take too much damage to your arms, you can only use pistols and close combat weapons. Sort of like die-hard. Wick just moves through his injuries through sheer force of will. I think that's a neat concept.

Or like The Punisher PC game without the torture mechanics

john wick would work better as a hotline miami type game, but i guess a strategy game style is fun too i guess.

It would be to generic and immediately branded as "is like hotline miami", you will need to add some kind of extra flavor to make it worthwhile like Katana ZERO

Actually when i saw it the first time it reminded of a fairly obscure Dreamcast game i played back in the day only that this one barely had any shooting

It looks exactly like the tactical missions from This Is the Police 2.

This looks like a game I'd really enjoy. Epic can go fuck itself but I'd get it on Switch.

I disagree. I think John Wick would've worked better if it was like Devil May Cry, but with some mechanics from Max Payne. A fast action movie deserves a fast action game.
