Games that would be sweet if they existed

[Typhoid]

Post your ideas.
Games you'd love to play, but there's nothing out there.

I expressed this to Dyne today on MSN.


A game with a Battlefield 1942/ FPS style view.
Either massive multiplayer, or single player (in the style of Rainbow 6 Vegas).
However, set in the time of the Roman wars.
You can pick your classes (obviously subjective to what civilization you are).
Horses = Tanks.
Boats, for shore crossing.
Massive woodland areas for surprise attacks.
Long grass to hide in.

Epic, epic battles.

I still think a fully 3D Pokémon RPG for a console would be cool.

I mean, I wouldn't buy it anymore, but I'm sure the kids of the future would love it.

Maybe make it an MMORPG so you could level up by battling with other people while you're traveling the land to find your next gym battle.

[KillerGremlin]

The sequel to Duke Nukem.

I stand by what I said with GTA: Gotham

Dude! You have NO IDEA how much I'd love that! The day that, that game is announced I would declare the Wii the greatest console ever* for providing that shit.


*Providing the game was good... and judging by Nintendo first party, it would be amazing.

Aww! Why wouldn't you play it? The show is for kids but the game is still WAAAAAAY badass. I played the hell out of Pokemon Diamond last year.

You know what would be AMAZING:

Jet Set Radio Wii. I keep telling people this. Goddamn, Sega. Get ON this shit!

Also, Wave Race Wii. Why haven't they done this yet?! Wave Race is so amazing! Ask BaB, I think he has an idea for how much I love Wave Race.

I'd so buy a Wii for that.

You know just a new Jet Set Radio would be fine for me.

It's true. I don't even care if it's for PS2. (However, I hear the GBA one kind of sucked.)

I'm still waiting for a snowboard game where you're dropped on the top of a mountain and you have to find your own way down. Basically a sandbox snowboarding game.

Also: a Jurassic Park survival game where you can survive in like 25 different ways. You're in the middle of the park, your car broke down and you have to escape the island. You could either concentrate on guns (find the gun shed and blow those critters to shreds), exploration, hiding, building (a raft to get off the island?), ecology (behaving in such a way that dinos won't attack), etc.
Very moody graphics/weather/music. Co-op possible.

Space Station Silicon Valley 2. God I love the original.

[Dylflon]

A Dragon Force remake. Not enough people understand how glorious that game was.

[GameMaster]

Streets of Rage 4! How could I forget that one!

[BreakABone]

I just had this idea.

An Oregon Trail online game. Everyone controls a party member. One is responsible for hunting. MAybe one is the doctor. Another takes care of the livestock. The whole team works together to make it to Oregon in one piece.

- A sequel to Psychonauts
- A sequel to Crackdown
- Halo 4
- An FPS game where total, realistic destruction of every single thing was possible. Bad Company comes close, but some of the deformation is cookie-cutter makeup - just for show. I'd want a game that if you blow enough holes into a building, it'd fall down in a physics-based, realistic fashion. If you launch an RPG into the ground, it makes a big hole. Trees won't just break off from a few bullets, but splinter the tree enough and it might fall down (In Bad Company, just a few bullets will get the tree to "explode" into two parts.. not very realistic). A sequel to Black or even Bad Company 2 would be awesome with this.

[Angrist]

Something like Morrowind and Oblivion, but in a present world. Inspired by movies like Indiana Jones and National Treasure. You have 1 main goal, but for that you have to follow clues... It's all up to you. No linear gameplay, just you in a huge world.

Far Cry 2 is shaping up to be something like that.

Fallout 3?

And I would want them to make Sniper Elite 2 or a Sci-fi MMOFPSRPGRTS where you can customize anything you want, say a giant space cruiser to travel to distant planets or to destroy others in battle. Go to an uninhabited planet and make it your own, create your own cities armies. Sadly I dont think anything like that will ever happen ever. The closest thing coming up is Huxley which will still be pretty cool.

I want Grim Fandango 2, then I could die happy.

[uber_paddler]

Metal Gear ______

[Pylon_Trooper]

Homeworld 3

And, a proper sequel to Dropship: United Peace Force. One that encompasses exactly what the development team had wanted to do in the first place, which was load up troops, vehicles etc. aboard a carrier in orbit, then descend down through the atmosphere to the LZ. I'd dig that like a gravedigger on a public holiday.

That game was so awesome.

[The Germanator]

Space Station Silicon Valley 2. God I love the original.

Oh man! Totally forgot about that one, but it was amazing...

Sim Ant 2...

Blast Corps 2?

Another Secret of Mana as good as the original...

More Shenmue.

Not really original ideas...

[BreakABone]

This has probably been mentioned today.

but I would love for some cross genre mixing.

Huge wrestling person and was thinking how cool it would be to play entrance music via Rock Band during events like Wrestlemania.

Or playing the Half time show during the Superbowl in Madden.

Sure wouldn't be the whole game but would be awesome features.

1. MMORPG based on the Gargoyles Disney cartoon. :)

2. The 3D pokemon RPG thing. Always wanted that.

3. Another Lovecraft inspired action/horror game like Eternal Darkness. I loved the parts of the game that were set in the early 20th century. I think your character could be a regular, upper middle class guy in that time period, who uncovers a world of paranormal events happening all around us.

4. A sandbox RPG in the same vein as the Elder Scrolls games, except et in the Harry Potter universe.

5. A good Quidditch game. For the love of God, just let me design it. I had amazing ideas before some idiot at EA screwed it up. >:|

I've always wanted a Battlefield type game based on space battle based mainly on vehicle (spaceship) combat and mothership defense and maintenance.

Ships

Fighter - Single occupancy. Fast and agile, strong against bombers, boarders and other fighters, weak against capital and mother ships.

Bomber - 3 players maximum. One to fly and target torpedoes, maximum 2 players to man front and rear turrets. Strong vs Capital and Motherships, weak vs fighters and defensive platforms. Heavy shields but low plating due to weight of playload. Fighter escort recommended

Boarder - 7 players maximum. One pilot, one turret, and 5 marines to board capital and mother ships (then shields are down). Can board Capital and Motherships, but shields must be down or ship will explode on impact. Heavy shields but low plating due to weight of playload. Fighter escort recommended

Capital Ships - Heavy ship that has one fighter and bomber spawn point and can be a moveable spawn area. Strong attack vs everything and more offensive control is in the hands of the pilot (torpedoes). Vulnerable to bombers, cap ships and motherships. For balance reasons I would have a maximum of one Capital ship per game and having one would lower the number of other ships available and lower their respawn rate. If a cap ship is destroyed, it doed not respawn.

Mothership - Heart of the fleet and set spawn point for all players, ships, defensive platforms, etc. Motherships can be fortresses or assault staging grounds depending on how you play them. All motherships require a captain (authority), helmsman (movement, radar, communications and shield maintenance) and tactical (defense, torpedo and rail gun). Very striong shields and even stronger armor, it takes a lot of torpedoes and shots with a rail gun to bring this one down. Rail guns do heavy damage to captial and Mothership and installation armor but ZERO damage to shields.

Avatars

Marine - Excellent for boarding parties (and defending against them) as they are very strong vs all opponent avatars and can set explosives to cripple capital and motherships. cannot fly ships or repair defensive platforms or engines. Assault only.

Engineer - Excellent at manning and repair ship platforms such as defensive locations, offensive locations (torpedo tubes and paricle cannons) and engines. Heart of the Mother and Capital ships. Weak in combat and cannot pilot ships. Will be killed when trying to repair an installation that is destroyed (siucked into space before vacuum shields are raised or killed on impact)

Pilot - Pilots fighters, bombers and boarders. Medium in peronal combat offense but are killed easily due to lack of armor. Get them to a ship ASAP to use them fully.

Officers - Only for those who have gained rank in combat, the highest rank has the option of being captain, then tactical, then helmsman, etc. Must have experience at the helm and tactical to be captain. Helm and tactical can captain Capital ships if they are in play. Melm and tactical can only perform their tasks when given orders by their captain. It is the officers duty to inform the captain of the situation and then follow orders once they are given. Any officer can refuse to follow an order if they greatly disagree with the command of the captain and call a "mutiny vote". If the mutiny is successful, the next highest rank becoms captain, but because the capain is thrown out the airlock the squad is down one player that game.


Thoughts???
