Games that Need Jetpacks

[Nieroshai]

Shadow of the Colossus with jetpacks would just make my life so much easier.

...HD JETPACK REMAKE?!

And get rid of poor Agro and the climbing feature? WTF man, then the game'd be over in minutes...

I didn't find the jetpack in Reach to be particularly beneficial or fun to use. Yay I can go up in the air slowly and become an incredibly obvious and vulnerable target!

Jetpacks should be in exploration games in wich a jetpack would seem natural.

Sorry if someone has already quoted you and made my point,but I find the Jetpack in reach isn't for flying,so much as jumping over large distances and giving the enemy a face full of what your packing.I find that with strategy is very fun and quite good and taking enemies otu when they're a great distance from you.

Sounds like someone's never actually played a match of Gears.

Shotgun rolling on the ground anyone?

Sounds like someone loves Gears but has no idea why it's good.
It's intended (and pulls of) being a cover based game. Mobility is important in that you need to advance to the next piece of cover. Adding a jetpack into that mix would either make the jetpack a useless gimmick, or turn the game into a totally different game, more like Halo or something.

Gears already IS halo, but in third person, and instead of jumping you roll around on the ground.

Seriously, go play a match in gears of war right now. The primary tactic on online play is to run up to your opponent and blast them in the face with the shotgun. It's not to use cover and tactically move around the map, flanking your opponent's cover as a team, it's run in rambo with a shotgun.

What you're describing is how Gears was intended to be played, but not how it is. The only time you ever see someone actually use cover is if they have the sniper rifle.

you are both talking about the same game except one person is refering to the campaign and one person is refering to the online multiplayer

Silent Hill would certainly use some Jetpacks and Space Marines.

Tetris.

Any game based on The Hulk.

Green, monstrous death from above, destroying cities upon crashing back to earth.

So I was playing Halo Reach and found the game to only be so so until I found the jetpack. Then I started enjoying myself.

Similarly, I was playing Red Faction Guerilla, and felt the same way until jetpack.

So, where else should we insert jetpacks?

Dark Void.

I don't care if it already has jetpack! Fuck it! Put a jetpack on the jetpack!

Ever heard of Tribes Vengeance? No? well if you're so jet-pack obsessed you should look into it.

 

[Sirpipple]

All of them

Kirby, just for the sheer uselessness. or Fable, just because it always infuriated me that I couldn't jump

Tribes need Jetpacks......ZING! If you put jetpacks in games it can either be Fun with the freedom to move or in most cases just give pricks more places to camp or attack from other spots you can't always be watching.

You know about Tribes too?! **high fives**

and fine a game that would be better with jet packs...

Rocket Knight?.. Tribes?.. Hmm...

How about TF2 or No More Heroes..?

Borderlands

ffstu

You are talking about Gears of War as a single player/coop experience.

stuff

You are talking about Gears of War as a multiplayer/versus experience.

They're the same game, but they're very different games.

It would be cool to get it in a Zelda game. You'd need a lot of limitations on it obviously, but definitely a bonus.

 

[Sky Captanio]

Can't we just say every game ever and call it a day?

 

[ReaperzXIII]

CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYLES JETPACKS!!!

Bomberman with jetpacks! Mario with jetpacks! CoD with jetpacks! Bioshock with jetpacks!

Game designers need to be like Oprah and give away jetpacks to every game, "You get a free jetpack! Everyone gets free jetpacks"

 

[bartman675]

there

Mass effect might be helped by jet packs, not that it needs help though.

*Imagines biotic attacks from the air* *drouls*

there is a game similar to mass effect with jet packs
its called global agenda
