A game setting that hasn't been done?

[Mr. Mike]

I've never seen a game set in India. India would be mad for a game location. What it'd be about, I have no idea. But India would be cool.

 

[holydemon]

my mind. (think silent hill times the Suffering times ever other horror game ever made)

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Umm... Norse mythology?

Viking: Battle for asgard. In some ways too human and age of empire: age of mythology.


How about 1066 AD in England? A fairly awesome story.

Or the battle of Agincourt. If it was based on the Bernard Cornwell book that would be even more awesome.


EDIT:

It could be based off the Richard Sharpe series!

You know, I don't think I've seen any true 'SteamPunk' or 'ClockPunk' Video Games.

Bioshock was steampunk though. Right?

Umm... Norse mythology?

Along with others people had said, Age of Mythology. Technically it did Greek, Egyptian, and Norse Mythology, but it covered it all.

How about the Spanish colonization of South America, Aztec (or Mayans, whatever the hell they were) versus a bunch of murderous Spaniards? I'd buy that for a dollar!

Colonisation focuses on the founding of America, and you can be Spanish (Or French, Dutch or English) and fight/befriend the Incans and Aztecs

Cthulhu simulator?

* That which is not dead can eternal lie
* Dream across strange aeons
* Wait!
* Fhtagn!
* Over 60 hours gameplay

then the last half-hour of gameplay will be the awakening.

Middle of a Black Hole, Or in the Large Hadron Collider,

 

[Nikolai Smirnov]

A game where there is only a backstory and you can do virtually anything (and i mean ANYTHING)

 

[Gh0st1y_H]

I have yet to see any games based on the Great Depression. Granted, it would probably just end up like Grand Theft Auto.

As for a time period, interesting time periods that can be done well in a game have been done. If your talking about something that exists in the real world that video games have not done yet, I have never played a game where you escape from prison, which I think would make a pretty cool game. I heard that a game about the show prison break came out, but you weren't actually trying to escape from prison.

 

[DividedUnity]

Zombie apocalypse in Ireland. I challenge you to find one

 

[silver wolf009]

A time in the future where all animals except a single moose is alive and the moose is the size of mt everst.

 

[TxMxRonin]

How about the inside of a body?

Like you travel through bloodstreams and battle in the Stomach.

That or Neptune.

Inside the human body. Intestines and all that.
