How many can there only be???
Today I saw for the first time the trailer for the upcoming Highlander video game. Apparently, the clan MacLeod is a vast one, hosting many a generation of immortal. Connor MacLeod was born into it. Duncan MacLeod was adopted. Quinten MacLeod…I dunno, since the animated series is ass anyway. Then last year, we were introduced to Colin MacLeod, who was deemed an honorary member of the clan for his heroism in the anime Highlander: The Search For Vengeance. (Which, by the way, was really just Fist Of The North Star with swords.)
Now we have Owen MacLeod, the lead character in the new Highlander game. I don’t know how they’re gonna do this. On the one hand, you don’t really need a MacLeod to have a Highlander plot. But on the other hand, Highlander: The Raven didn’t have a MacLeod and it was ass too.
Plot aside, making an action video game sounds cool for Highlander, but I can imagine it would be difficult to make believable. Cuz either you have hundreds of immortals that you cut your way through in each level, or Owen will slaughter hundreds of mortal civilians before reaching an immortal boss. Either scenario sounds excessive in the accordance of Highlander lore. But I suppose if there’s a will, there’s a way…
