HIstorical events you would like to see in Video games

[Candlejack]

For some reason I feel like the AC vs. DC battle with Tesla and Edison would make a good Phoenix Wright style game, considering all of the ridiculous things they did to prove themselves to the public. Tesla as the protagonist, of course.

Backpack-mounted Tesla coil as a main weapon, General Theory of Relativity as a defense, upgradeable ludicrous hairdos.

Don't forget the ludicrous mustaches. Always with the mustache, Tesla...

The 'staches will be infused is physical mathematics, developed by Einstein himself.

I also feel like Mark Twain should be a support character.

 

[King Toasty]

personally I would like to see a major war from ancient history. Like an old school battle where you have like thousands of guys just running at each other and more than likely whoever had the most people would win.

Like this?

Rome Total War

Or like this.

Support character? Nah, he's the narrator. Voiced by Morgan Freeman.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

An RPG of the fall of Rome through the eyes of a Legionnaire.

I was thinking support character because he hung out at Tesla's lab all of the time. But, Morgan Freeman, so I'm on board with this idea.

 

[lacktheknack]

Tesla's discoveries.

Puzzle games FTW.

...Damn, someone needs to see-
Wait, can we put Steampunk in there? LINCOLNMECH!

EDIT: Hehehe, post 69. NOW BACK TO BUSINESS.

 

[Mr Scott]

The Manson Family murders, no bullshit. It's time fans demand tackling of controversial issues. Of course, it'd all be in the style of an "Ace Attorney" game!

 

[Tsaba]

the fight for Baghdad, a lot of silver stars and a medal of honor came from that battle.

"OBJECTION, on the notion that this court is Helter-Skelter crazy!"

 

[Smooth Operator]

The Spanish inquisition! Nobody expects that shit

 

[Freethinker101]

I'd like to see a game that focuses on the colonization of North America, and other uncharted places, and none of this Age of Empire, its just horrible... A game like Black and White 2 was somewhat historical...

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

The Holocaust, the JFK assassination, 9/11, Pearl Harbor (I'm sure someone's done this actually), pretty much every fucked up thing since the Boston Massacre...

Put this all in one game, and release it. Then BAM, from now on every time someone has a complaint about hookers or alien side boobs, someone else can say, "at least it's not that game with Chernobyl and Nagasaki and The Black Dahlia and (etc...)".

 

[King Toasty]

The Spanish inquisition! Nobody expects that shit

Must... resist... high-five...

 

[Blackout62]

The Pre-Louisiana Purchase French Fur Trade in North America. Think of it as an MMO. You play a hunter on the great land east of the Mississipi. You kill and sell animal furs. The factions are the French (Canadians), US, British, and possibly Indians. This game could actually be good.

Must... resist... high-five...

Let's both give him a high five.

Anyways, raising the Flag on Iwojima. In COD 5, you put the flag on the Reichstag, but no games I've played have let you put the flag on Iwojima.

 

[JS ibanez]

The Napoleonic Wars.

Those'd be pretty cool.

I like muskets. I want to see the American Civil War or the War of 1812 in a game.

It's a pretty sad situation when the best Civil War FPS is Darkest of Days.

A game set in extremely early history would be interesting. Back when woolly mammoths roamed the earth.

Battle of Troy.
U.S. Civil War
War of 1812 on the side of the militia.
The expansion of Rome (Multiple titles covering this like WW2 is often covered would be cool.)
Vietnam (even though it has been touched on.)
King David's conquering of Jerusalem
Viking Invasion of England

Also, I would like to see a game in the spirit of the movie Gladiator.

Shadow of Rome for ps2 is very much in the spirit of the movie Gladiator. I loved it.

The Spanish inquisition! Nobody expects that shit

Guys the total war series pretty much covers all of these.

Rome total war=Rome and its expansionism to its fall

Napoleon total war= Napoleonic wars

Empire total war= War of 1812 and colonization of north america

Napoleon (Best smoke effects!) and Empire total war (Fire by rank!)= Musketry awesomeness

Medieval 2 total war: Viking invasion of England, The crusades, The discovery of america and (Surprise!) even a little of the spanish inquisition



This might be obvious to some, but you know...just putting it out there

 

[tthor]

and my idea: a mixture of steampunk, the old West, and medieval-era Japan.

don't they already have that? i think it was called Damnation, the one with the cowboy australian fighting steampowered mechs and robot samurais in the american civil war?

...seriously, that game looks fucked up

I personally would like to see a good game on ancient greek or rome

 

[rosemystica]

I want a game that's entirely based around Teddy Roosevelt's adventures as Badass Incarnate.
