The Greatest Game Never Made

[Matthew Wilson]

Got two ideas.
1: A sandbox game where you play a drug addicted policeman in London trying to find out why your best friend was murdered. Your friend worked for a gang boss and you find out your friend was murdered by your sisters husband (your partner) and your father, a police commisioner is working with the gang boss.
2: An R.P.G. game in a world where vampires and werewolves are part of human life but the humans think they are superior. You pick whether to go as a vampire or werewolf and join a revolution to overthrow the government and gain your rights.

An open world zombie rpg, like urbandead (browser game, its good, you should try it) but with offline features and actual gameplay

Also Ive imagined about 8 games based on my life from a overview kinda view (as in, its about what happens in my life, but its not focused on me, its just a generaly view) One of these games being a TF2 meets star wars battlefront style game

I'd use the Neverwinter Nights engine and update Ancient Domains Of Mystery.

To quote ZP: "Look it up!"

-A game similar to civilization but there are no real-life nations. Each nation is extremely customizable and its appearance depend on its location on the map and its proximity to resources.

-Some Guy in real life accidentally transports himself to the realm of video games through a device mistakenly mailed to him by the CIA. CIA intended to use the device to find a secret code within a game developed by a late Chinese game dev. The code can be used to infiltrate the network of the United States government, and the game has been shipped to various other countries. The Cubans find out and they use the same device the CIA is using to infiltrate the video game realm and attempt to find the code, and the Guy has to fight them while being assisted by the CIA and his friends to find the code.

The game takes place in parodies of various video games and gameplay changes in each game. The Guy has to traverse various obstacles and fight the game's enemies as well as the real life Russian enemies who also transport themselves into the game world and fight like Agents from The Matrix. The Guy's allies can sometimes hack into the games and give the Guy abilities that make him much more powerful, including Batman: Arkham Asylum style combat that the Guy uses for the most part of the game, but this help gets disabled by the Cubans in various occasions. In the last level, he personally gains control of the all-holy Developers Console and uses it as an ultimate weapon against his enemies.

The cutscenes are filmed in both real life and within the games.

Hmm that reminded me about Matt Hazard, both about a guy in a videogame with great jokes and parodies about video games. Oh darn now I just another Timesplitter game, which would be the best game ever... mabye, hey mabye TS can become the new Duke Nukem Forever

Some massive space RPG. Mass Effect basically. Only with a sub fee of $5-10 per month. With that money the developers would continually add content. Not just cheap DLC, actual progressions in the main story.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Evil Genius 2, with everything the community at Evilplanet has suggested since 2007 (except the stupid stuff like "having tanks")


Black and White 3, set in a Medieval period.

That's it.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

A classic RPG leveling system. You lose descisions but in the end you get a strong feel for each character. The combat would be like a Devil May Cry/Bayonetta beat em up. Your combos would decide your experience and cash gained from kills. There would be craftings ystems for the greatest items, which all show up on your character, without ruining their designs. And there would be bosses of the greatest proportions. The story would be a classic fantasy tale. a heroes quest, with characters that are all interesting. The voice acting would be an all star cast. And finally it would have an online mode where you and up to four friends can pick a character to play through parts of the story with.

Oh and the music would mix the best tracks money could liscence, a mixture of old school game themes, classic rock, jazz, classical music, and a few original tracks done by the best bands.

 

[Free Thinker]

I had this idea for an EPIC Lord of the Rings game. Primarily a single-player game. I could never imagine the multiplayer. Anyway, you can pick your race. Good: Human, Elf, Dwarf. Evil: Goblin, Orc, Uruk-hai, maybe Troll, maybe Easterling/Haradrim. I want to say it'd be like Battlefield, but bigger! Much bigger! I'm talking full-scale battles! Like entire armies of a good few thousand troops on the field. As for the stories, you play as a new recruit into either the defenders of Middle-Earth, or the ravenous hordes of Sauron. Through heroic, or evil actions on the field, based on race, you rise up through the ranks and become a force that could potentially change Middle-Earth forever. As you kill enemies, you can scavenge weapons and armor. As you rank up, you can control squads, battalions, etc. And if you're a high-ranking Orc, one of the cool "perks" would be is that you could ride on the shoulders of a troll and take control of it.
But it'll most likely stay as an idea...*sniff*

 

[shootthebandit]

money no object eh, id get one of those big multidirectional robot arms, a few 3D screens and some aircraft controls and id have myself a the best aircombat game ever

 

[Nikolaz72]

Elite 2? Comeon Sidmeyer plleeaseeeee.

 

[JoJo]

I would design a massive open-world RPG in a completely crazy universe, with creatures like intelligent lobsters, and random space-travel and flying and a load of cool (but not over-powered) super powers. Loads of random missions, plus an emotional and gripping storyline with lots of choice. Maybe some actually good escort missions if I could get them to work (NPC's that can take cover, or hide behind you and don't try to get themselves killed!) And possibly a cult which worship a giant pie. So basically Fallout 3 on drugs!

 

[Verlander]

Too late, Bejeweled Blitz has already been made

 

[Ze_Reaper_Of_Zeath]

Minecraft 2 : Adventures in Space.

The title says everything.

 

[superbatranger]

Well, it definitely can't be Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[Plurralbles]

Timesplitters 4. The fact this hasn't been made begs belief.

I heard Crytek when they bought the remains of freeradical thought that there wasn't a market for TS4 so shelved it.

I'm sorry but you guys are sodding idiots there was and always will be a market for one of the most fun FPS series ever, especially in this age of Mediocre Warfare games.

agreed. Basically that. I want TS4 so badly!*goes and plays TS1*

 

[Jefw]

Civilizations: Total War.

maybe throw some Mount And Blade in there.

 

[Talon_Skywarp]

An alternative history where people ride an Army of armored Moose.

Yes, I said it!

 

[Voodoomancer]

Mass Effect with a Portal Gun.

this is one of the best idea's I've read. I hoped spore would deliver something like that, enough that i could develop my on culture thing.
If spore was more complex and refined, a little less cartoonish, and it didn't take less then and hour to beat each tier. If it took a looooong ass time to evolve and develop between stages, Upwards of 10 hours, and there-in customize damn near everything, and more philosophical options then good-neutral-bad and there spin offs. The space stage was cool, but space combat wasn't fun, and warfare in general sucked because it was basically little 3d icons shouting lazars at each other, but if they somehow managed to do ALL OF THIS, and hopefully more, i would never again see the light of day.
An Infinitely complex RTS basically
