Copy Clerk  Posts: 52 Joined: 10 Aug 2008   | I would love to see a game where you play as a detective in the 20s and you solve tons of crimes, and not like the scooby doo bullshit, I mean a pulp fiction, sin city feel to the whole thing. Crimes are about murders, heists and, because its in the 20s, moonshining. I would wan the same feel as sin city, the men are burly and wear trench coats and the women are curvy and beautiful. Also, it would need to have good, challenging mysteries. Most of the game would be about solving the mysteries rather then combat, but their would be some. It would also need to be open world and allow you to chose how to approach a crime. Whether you interrogate a witness or investigate the scene, it should be up to the player to figure out what happened. What the developer could do is hire a bunch of mystery writers to come up with tons, filter the best and put them in the game. The DLC could be awesome as well because they could just release more crimes. |

Hey... now I remember that one, I'm sure there is another even more recent one (like yesterday) Oh what the hell, a game where you are a crab, and you travel along a beach fighting all sorts of beach creatures (and eating them) |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 548 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | Obviously a MMORPG (because the idea of a free-roaming world with thousands of players in still great) Obviously, the game has to be fantasy based, so base it at the beginning of human existence, all the players start off at the scientifically decided tie humans first roamed the earth, you would have basic survival tools, clubs to fight enemies, and just basically build up your community. Your community is about 100 people, your given a team name, and everyone must vote on their favourite, your given a stretch of land, some basic equipment, and then allowed to do what you want. Your community needs to function properly and build up its resources - to remove to much grind (though there's got to be some) make it more interesting for the player (a deep combat system, not turn-based) As the game is played, go through history, so m the community discovers rocks etc, they can use that to build hills, making statistically easier to defend their village etc. Of course, eventually your going to move into more advanced stuff (medieval) so the game flows through time, your community may have to gather rocks to make a castle, find and tame animals to ride on, prepare armies for battle. The character customisation screen would incorporate all this, allowing you to base your characters strengths ad weaknesses for the good of your tribe. Obviously you can go to war with other tribes, and steal their equipment and land to stretch your own boundaries - so the world advances through time. That's about it for my flash of inspiration, not really my dream game, just a thought. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 457 Joined: 23 Apr 2008 | I honestly have no idea what my ideal game would be or even be like. My desires seem to vary wildy from week to week. One week I want a no/little brainer FPS, another week I might want a complex RTS with my virtual avatar sitting atop a golden angular throne of conquest, next week I might want to just an adventure-type game (i.e. Pyschonauts, most RPGs), next week a more brainy FPS. Anyway... based on my experience with a MUD, I'd guess my dream-type of game would be one where I could wonder around with an avatar, have an adventure with him, or build up, say, a business of some sort (For example, if I wanted to setup a tavern, or a weapons smith, or even an in game newspaper, i'd be able to do that). Preferably, I'd like to do this in persistant world online multiplayer game, but that'd be preferred instead of required, especially given the tendacy of most newbies to be either confused or jerks, heh. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 632 Joined: 15 Jun 2008   | An MMO with absolutely no environmental forces. You've heard of PvE I assume, well none of that. The game will be entirely run by players. Everything will be modifiable, but to keep people from making bullshit things most changes will be completely cosmetic. So you can't make god items or anything. But everything from buildings to weapons, to races will be up to the players. As such with the game would be a character editor similar to the spore creature creator except the more you modify from the base human model the more in game cash it costs to make it. The same goes for item modifiers and building modifers. The more your creation deviates from the base model the more it costs to make. But there will be no caps. If you want to make a buster sword out of depleted uraniam and then enchant it with a spell of sentience good for you! Also there would be no automatic protections. If you die all your shit stays with your body. Raising your standing in the game would center around what you have, not a level. There would be no levels. Everything would be based around skill ratings and equipment. Sure, using a skill more makes it better. But the changes would be more in aptitude than damage. One guy weilding a pistol does just as much damage as the other guy. But if one of them has a much higher gun stat then his aim is steadier and he can reload faster, because he is more familiar with the weapon. Likewise with swords and such. As you gain more skill your attacks become more accurate and faster rather than more damaging. Damage would be based solely in the equipment. Next, resources would be limited. You will be able to break down anything you find to get it's base components but you won't be able to mine computer enemies for their random drops. The amount of resources will scale to the total number of active players. (This is so people don't try to make twenty billion seperate bot accounts to raise the amount of resources or something.) I'm pretty sure i've answered a thread like this at least three times so I'll just leave you with that. There's more, but I don't want to post it again. |

Paperboy  Posts: 29 Joined: 14 May 2008  | My perfect game would be have a few characteristics...first-it would be completely reusable never becoming boring and always have new and exciting content and game play...second-ultimate customization where u can design/make anything u want, with easy creating tools to help you...third-absolutely no boundaries what so ever...fourth-no glitches in video,game play or audio...fifth-cursing...lots and lots of free flowing dialog I want every voice in the game to be unique...sixth-as every good game thats out now there has to be controversy lots and lots of controversy so much that it breaks every sales record in the world and makes it the most addictive thing on earth...i want it to dwarf weeds addictiveness... that my freinds is the prefect video game... |
Paperboy  Posts: 29 Joined: 20 Aug 2008 | I would like to see a MMO third person shooter (kinda like MMO Mechwarrior). Focus is mainly on PvP, though I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of boss system. Deaths end your fun for a period of time (for ex, dying would force you to take a 1/2 hour to hour break), and weaponry improves based on the amount of time you use it, but not so much where you can take everyone down with just a blaster or something like that. |

Press Junketeer Posts: 457 Joined: 23 Apr 2008 | Well, I have to say, Real RPG multiplay games do exist - they are called MUDs... the problem is they are all text based and not massive (the biggest is about 10,000 players strong, I think, although it can be as low as 5). Some muds have no grinding etc at all, and rely purely on PvP Role play and/or combat, if it even has combat. Sometimes players act as quest givers, and its much more fluid and natural and open that the typical RPG you get from a shop that has you on the rails all the time. Anyway, Anarchemitis, thanks for the links, those games look entertaining :) |

That's awesome. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 360 Joined: 4 May 2008 | A sci-fi/fantasy game where you control a ghost of some sort, who can possess other people, control them and/or interrogate them. This could then be done to foil the person who killed you, bring down some corporation etc etc. It would sort of be like changing costumes in Hitman, and the only way you'd be detected is if you were doing something out of the ordinary. The person you're possessing must always have green or red eyes while you do so, but of course, no one must notice this. |

I don't think that would work. A lot of Wire in the blood's appeal is the lack of "real" action. It's all in his mind. Just my oppinion though. I would like to see a game with magic like in "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell". Also this game shouldn't encourage violence but it should be a valid option. If you kill someone you would you his spirit randomly. Same goes for two murders. These vision will dissapear over time depending on the circumstances you kill in. If you kill a lot of persons you would go insane and random people would look like enemies even if they're not. The game would take place in a time that hasn't been overused in games; like 18th century, or Ancient Greece or the first half of the Middle ages. The game would have a real story worthy of a novel but with different endings. The NPC's would react to you differntly depending on a whole range of parameters going from crimes commited to seemingly random things like wearing a top-hat. The story itself would go about the main character solving a mystery or something but in the background there would be bigger things going on, like a war or elections. And the player could influence these things or even activly take part but it won't be necessary. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 576 Joined: 20 Aug 2008   | Simple concept: EVE Online meets Port Royale. Same multiplayer commerce-type game, just set on Earth during the Age of Exploration. Completely player-driven economy along the lines of the one in Puzzle Pirates, ship combat in real time, land battles allowing guilds to take control of ports. It'd be glorious. |

Paperboy  Posts: 15 Joined: 24 Aug 2008 | My dream game would be a game set in an older time with swords and olden style guns with a moral system of good or evil. And who knows? Maybe you have a dog as a companion. It would (will) be the best RPG game to date. I would call it Fable Two- Erm... Well, havent really thought of a name for it yet... But yea. |

...it says minus story...i just described the perfect video game, it doesn't matter what the story is it just have to have those qualities... |

Exactly!!!!! It's all in the main charecters mind as he is unravveling the mystery. If you've played Condemned 2, there are parts when your halucenating, and you halucenate monsters and bloody gorry or just plain freaky stuff, it'd be like that but alot less freaky just mind bending and horrible. |

Oooo, make it an ultra realistic FPS, and give your character skills like Ammo Crafting, Mapping, Lock Picking... things you'd want your character to be able to do that don't involve shooting, so no matter what you can pick up a gun and use it. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2408 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 | I would want to design the greatest 5-8 Hour Game ever, it would be non-stop excitement, no filler missions, all the most interesting gameplay I could come up with (think The Shadow Moses Metal Gear Battle, or the Prague Chase or most of the boss fights in MGS 4) and would feature multiple paths and endings, so you'd always feel like replaying it because there's a pretty good chance you'll see something new. |
