Great games that only exist in your head

[Azhrarn-101]

An RPG set in the Hyperion Universe by Dan Simmons, a vast number of worlds connected by gates that make the Stargates of the film/series of that name look primitive in comparison. No idea about the story, never really thought about it, just the opportunity to explore that vast wonderful universe, and perhaps own a Farcaster home (imagine a house, with each room on a different world, all interconnected by gates).

You could probably make it an adventure game too if you used the first trilogy as a base, the 2nd trilogy would be a bit harder, since the network goes down at the end of the first set, not to mention the religious controversy the faction of "The Church" would cause.

Probably a World in Conflict-esqe FPS.

Man, ive been waiting for someone to ask me that question. The game is called The Saint. It´s an FPS where you play as a man called Jack. He is an old, grizzled and scared vietnam veteran. As you play the game you unravel more and more of his horrible time in vietnam. He also has a sidekick called Densqvist. Densqvist also served in vietnam and sufferd the same fate as Jack.

The story involves Jack going to his work at your standard office building. When he gets there, he works for a minute or two. The rest of this scene i will take from what Jack says: " Honestly, i don´t know what happend, maybe something blew up, maybe the building collapsed. I don´t know. But what i do know was that i was shot out of the building, falling 30 floors to my death." In the next scene you are shoved into his perspective, as you look around Jack says: " Better check if somethings broken." He then looks at his leg, and you notice his bone poking out of it. "Shit!" Jack pulls out his phone, that is undamaged, and calls densqvist. The following is taken from the ingame conversation. " Jack, what the hell is going on, i noticed a huge bang from where you work, are you ok?" " No Densqvist, i have a ****ing bone poking out of my leg" "Shit, ok where are you, i´ll come pick you up." " 4 ben road, hurry Densqvist, im not sure i can hold out much longer." "Roger" When she comes to pick you up, you notice something rising from the shadows. Ingame conversation: " Jack, are you ok?" "You´ve asked that before Densqvist." "Sorry, anyways, i should be able to treat the wound in my house, Ivé brought my car, i´ll just drag you to it. Then you notice a man covered in blood. " Are you ok?" says Densqvist. The mans runs up and tries to bite Densqvist, but before he can succed, you pull out a gun and shots him in the head. Then other people starts rising and you scream, " Give me your gun and drag me to the car!"


More on this tommorow.

A game where you live a life as a normall person in Fps and do what ever you want but it would consquences

 

[Shycte]

Something like Oblivion but with a working morality and fame system.

 

[GrinningManiac]

A real, working, decent SPORE.

I wrote out my ideas in note form on Word.

I'm at a good 26 pages now

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

The Bouncer with all its problems fixed, and updated graphics. The simple joys of a co-operative beat 'em up (2 or more) can never be underestimated. I even wrote up a combat system and story outline as to why the five main characters and the villains have such unbelievably amazing martial arts skills and strength, with 7 Acts to it.

Fisting Man.

[hondommond]

Zombie RTS, oh yea.

My friend came up with the idea for a zombie sandbox game. Where you can hide in buildings, but they can get inside too. And you can hit them/shoot them/run them over with anything you find.

That would be moi. It would go like this. Welcome to australia random survivor. You woke up in some rubble under a building, all you remember is the world ending in death and fire, hazy flashbacks of the city being turned into scorched earth by a barrage of explosions. According a a very weak radio broadcast set on repeat you get once you escape to the surface of apocalyptia the world has ended... zombies are here and humanity has fallen, we decided not to f*ck around with the zombies and just scorched the infected countries as fast as we could. (yay).

Theres quite a bit of unaction gameplay as you wander through the ruined city and take in the desolation until you find one of many radios. The game prompts you to tune it and by doing so you find that only iceland or greenland or the UK is uninfected. Your in austrailia. yay. Gather surplies weapons and make your way there while avoiding all the hazards of your burnt and glassed world.

Reinforce buildings to survive the nightly hordes, be on guard for the daily nests of sleeping zomibes, who go bezerk when awoken. Make molotovs from bars, use EVERYThing as a melee weapon or to reinforce a door with nails and rope nothing is beyond use, hell loading dried grass onto the floor could make a nice firetrap.

Find out on your journy what happened for the time you were unconcious. Sailing and flying are fast travel if you have enough supplies to survive. You need fuel and food and the tools to fix the boat if need be. Eating isnt a mechanic but when you sleep you need one "supply" which is 1 drink and 1 item of food. raid houses for them, trust me they will be everywhere and small survivor caches will be in places where people like you once tried to survive and failed. If you fail to do this your maximum health and stamina will be reduced for everyday without food or water. After teh first day if you STILL have no food or water your gun will waver when you try to aim, you will walk slower and your senses will be dulled. This increases in how much it affects you till you keel over and die on day 7.

Real world physics and destructable buildings. Just got sidetracked by collapsing buildings? Blow through it! Want to end a zombie chase? knock a building down on them. Hammer through locked doors. The game would force you udnerground a lot as the city is FULL of rubble. Zombie nests are here.

Dammit i want to sell this game. I plan to try actually, i sure as hell would buy this.

Continued.

This is the first gameplay moment, you will have two guns in your hand and a bunch of zombies will run after you, and you will shoot them down, Once your done a cutscene occurs. Ingame conversation: " Open the door densqvist!" "Im on it, stop presurring me!" You then drive away and the screen fades. When you wake up you are in Densqvist house. Ingame conversation: Densqvist, what happend?" "You passed out in the car" "Sorry" "Don´t worry, you look so cute when your asleep." *Sarcastic laugh* "How is my bone going anyway?" "I haven´t checked." When you check it you realise it´s healed up. "What the devil..." Jack exclaims. "Densqvist, give me my hunting knife!" When you cut yourself you see the wound instantly recovering.

More about gameplay will come tomorrow.

You should contact "People can Fly" and see if they are interested

 

[SteakHeart]

A companion game to prototype, but instead of alex mercer, you play as a guy who gets telekenisis from the infection. You could use Telekinesis to snap Enemies' necks, rip them in half, or maybe hold them down and "probe" their mind for info, rather than consuming them.

Not THAT kind of probe!

 

[Baggie]

Oh man, I had this awesome idea a while back for a UT/COD4 sort of style, set in a cyberpunk future, various character customisations and specs, allowed you to customise weapons (I mean even specific callibre barrels), gene upgrades, all with a finacial system based on a money for frag system, with a scaled bounty system so lower level players killing higher level players would yield a bigger payoff and visa-versa.

*Regains his composure*

Actually bioshock 2 multiplayer could be very close to what I just described. Unless it's terrible.

AS soon as a Warhammer 40k FPS comes out i'll forget about life itself.

 

[Da pyro man 999]

Fallout: world. you can choose your country, city and even a house where you were born.

 

[yaik7a]

Zombie RTS, oh yea.

Orgamisc moan

Fallout RTS FTW

If you got fallout there is a mod for it that gives you weapons armor and the abilty to
command troops
