It takes a lot of brilliant minds and many years to come up with a brilliant game. As a forum of fellow gamers I was curious if we could combine our efforts to outline the best game ever made with a single thread. that said I'll start the thread with a story premise.

This new game will be set in a futuristic dystopian society ruled over by humanoids who resemble giant bee's. the protaginist is a nameless commoner who's been enslaved by this race and is haunted by the memory's of losing his wife and 5 year old daughter during whats been called 'The Last War'. During a propoganda showing at the local theater, a group of terrorists let off a bomb, and in the chaos you are kidnapped and thrown in the back of the vehicle. there is a sequence that shows this society. it lives entirely in houses that resemble giant honeycombs. while this is happening, there's a vehicle chase sequence that reveals the characters. a person who resembles a dog, a terrier in particular, is driving. His voice resembles that of Jason Stasum. There's a yappy guy in the back seat with you holding a gun to your head. He looks a bit like a zebra but with a scouter in his eye and a nervous stutter. and a girl who resembles a bird of some kind, a parrot in particular, however shes hung outside the window shooting down the oversized motorcycles.

That's just the begining. Feel free to give any ideas on original game play elements, story continuation, weapons and tools, settings, characterization, etc. Be original! feel free to suggest adjustments if needed. go crazy.

Anyway do all the characters have to be animals?
I'll try to make something up...
The son of the Queen bee is called Aris.
Though he loves his mother, he thinks the slavery is wrong.
After trying to reason with his mother, she decided that he was going to be a threat to the state, and sent her bodyguards out to kill him. He woke up outside the hive missing one of his leggs. He saw the opportunity to join the rebellion and take revenge upon his mother. Or something like that.

Kinda threw me for a loop. I assumed the setting was Future Earth and the bees were aliens, but then half a paragraph down, they're on Planet Fur.

You'd probably be better off if you made this a thread for posters to describe their *own* ideas for BEST GAME EVER, rather than asking people to turn your paragraph of Jason Statham furry fanfic into a game. It's your thread, obviously, but people in general are more talkative about their own great ideas than someone else's great idea.

I'd go for a cartoony style go as far away from realsim as possible (i.e. Rayman, Psychonauts) but have a plot that is completley serious so as to parody itself in it's ridiculousness. Crazy weapons (i.e. Ratchet and Clank) with unecessary amounts of gore and a psuedo-dark sense of humor. I'm not trying to insult you by the way this is just my honest idea.

why bees?bees aren't scary,unless your allergic.wouldnt a beehive be hard to design the inside of.how would the people actually live inside of them?why not wasps,at least they've got more of a warrior vibe going on.

my brother and his friend started a war against bees once.it didn't end well for them.
