Urban Shooters Anybody??

[ethaninja]

Ok so, there are many games with guns. Unfortunatly most of them are about War, or in the future (or near future) or just set in stupid boring places. Not enough FPS/TPS's take place in the cities if you ask me, where you can select standard handguns like a Glock 18 or a Beretta 92fs and tear shit up.

Sure you've got the GTA games, Max Payne, True Crime and um.... I'll have to get back to you on that one.

So I've taken it on myself to go to a game designing course. I have so many idea's for games that I just want to play. Like a building strategy set in either modern day or future (C&C Generals and Supreme Commander) where you can select a single unit and control them in first person or something.

Just imagine how badass that would be. Like Starcraft. A massive Zerg invasion is heading your way and you have a shitload of marines to counter them. Select a marine. BOOM you're in the fight up close and personal. Ready to tear shit up.

NOW for discussion value:

What are your gaming ideas that you have yet to see come to light.

 

[Plurralbles]

I just realized something... The marines from SC need to get Gears of War saws put on their guns.

Anyway... eh, not really any gaming ideas i haven't seen at least the hint of.

A RTS where you can go down and directly control your units as a option. I would love that so much. VC got it close but it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

So did the Hostile Waters game. Wasn't bad, but yeah like you said, wasn't what I wanted.

There needs to be a shooter designed around the Hungarian Revolution of 1956; that would be urban warfare up the wazoo.

Or perhaps the Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1993; that would be very intense too.

Your idea sounds good, but I'd like a GOOD version of Die Hard. The whole game takes place in an office building. Its all indoors and urban. It would have to be a new modern building with lots different areas to keep it interesting. Like a day care, cafeteria, cubicles.

Or a shooter that takes place in a mall. That would be my dream game.

Anyone ever play the old die hard games?

You guys should check out "Savage". RTS that is pretty much completely a bunch of players running around a map in RTS form. It isn't bad.

Myself? I want a sandbox RPG that takes place in the timeframe of founding the new world and piracy. Really it doesn't have to be sandbox. I wouldn't mind seeing some RPGs in western, colonial, modern, etc. themes. Basically, if it isn't fantasy/sci-fi the RPG market has almost nothing. I think this is another reason why Alpha Protocol would have been huge had it not been so damn bug riddled.

 

[ethaninja]

Hmm yes

I think I might go watch that movie now =)

Agreed. Hell, I would probably have loved the game if they had of just fixed up the damn aiming. Guns were pretty much useless in that game. But yes, a modern or western RPG would be awesome.

Yeah, that WOULD be friggen awesome ;D My god, we should all become a team of developers and make the badassest games out there ;D

 

[ethaninja]

You might want to check this game out.

OT: A Jackie Chan beat'em up.

Hmm, any idea where I could get it. Looks pretty good =)

 

[TerribleAssassin]

A zombie horror game in a sense that Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising raped Silent Hill's pacing and weapons handling mechanic. It's sounds pretty vague, but you sort of understand where I'm coming from. Barren land, occasional intense swarms of zombies, little ammunition with limited knowledge of the firearm.

I'm in. Do I need any computer skills for this. My skill set includes embedding youtube videos on the escapist (with spoilers), making an html heart, and downloading music (legally). Thats good enough right?

Hell Yeah, Pecan, Lemon Meringue, Peach, Chocolate Cream, you name it. I could be the team baker and provide snacks to all you programmers.

If you're asking if I can make pie charts, thats a big fat NO.

Nuclear Dawn is the game for you.

I'd like an urban shooter, where you can use the whole city to your advantage, such as climbing a skyscraper to snipe or clearing out houses and apartments. A first person sandbox urban game.

That actually looks pretty bad ass. Is it going to be Singleplayer? If it's multiplayer only with no bots or coop I'm going to be extremely pissed =(

EDIT: Scratch that. It HAS got Coop =D
