I want for us all to come up with a game.

And not just a game but THE game...
We have all the time and monney to make it. We just gotta come up with it

Mention people, gameplay mecanics and other things you want in and we will se where we end up^^

Ill start to say that i want Peter Molyneux to be creative designer. He may overhype but think it this way, he at least comes up with all theise things.

It should also be an RPG.... Weither its an FPS RPG or a Bioware style RPG does not matter to me :p

The teams of Lionhead, bioware and Ubisoft should be in this too.

We need a whole seperate department to make the story briliant and to make shure its consistant with the gameplay.

Now its your turn...

Lets come up with a great game^^

If we are making it about vampires
I agree with the necromancy and blood magic, moral choice, and ect. but I would add being able to pick a profession, like blacksmithing, being a assassin, ect. oh and a oblivion/fallout 3 character creator(but way improved) the fallout 3 style childhood thing, um clothing lots and lots of clothes to pick from, mix and match, create, dye, ect. So as a vampire you are fast, strong, quite, not god like, so you can have three main styles of gameplay Warrior, Mage, Stealth. Then creat your class oblivion style. and the you have to beable to choose to ether stay a vampire or become a human(effects ending) and to do the good, bad, or neutral choice at the end, mass effect style dialogue choices. It has to have great voice actors like big time celebs, and you can change from 1st to 3rd person views like oblivion/fallout.
And its title should be "V.A.M.P" which would be the short form of "Vampire a Mystic Parodox"
(ps I dont think the title makes sense)

A final giant boss fight set to through the fire and flames where the boss is the main characters sense of virtue, a huge embodiment of that sense that they must overcome to save the world from themselves... or just have one of your allies one hit kill them with a gun. Peter Molyneux would love that >.>

We should have a switch camera game style like when you use melee weapons you go into third person view and run faster, while ranged weapons make you slower stronger and more acceruate. The level up system allows you to either cure you vampirism, change into a lycan, or become a Shaa'lang(shadow lord)a vampire overlord.

one of the vehicles in the game is a giant robot tarantula powered by steam.

oh, and a weapon on it would be a web gun that would trap enemies within it.

i don't know what it has to do with the rest of the game, maybe a scientist made it for one of your missions or something, i don't know, but it has to be in there at one point.

If you were going to hire professional game desginers you'd need to hire Chris Avellone as the writer.

Vampires. The main story is based around the fact that you are a vampire. And it's Bethesda-style sandbox.
It's set throughout time because you can't die of age as you are a vampire (and not a sparkly gay ass vampire but an epic fanged wicked cool winged one)
This actually caught my attention :)
You start in modern times but you skip through the timeline just so the game never gets boring :D
Although you shouldn't be the good guy... The main character needs to be hunted, isolated and completely lonely. He's a vampire so he doesn't have a soul so he needs to be evil...

have I got the right idea??

Actually, if we are going to make the greatest game on earth, why don't we just remake Spore? Seriously. We should remake it, except keeping all the good bits in it, upping the graphical quality, and not ripping essential organs out of it to sell as "Expansion packs".

Lots of people are saying vampires... I don't know about making the greatest game ever, but we could at least make vampires awesome again. We'd be 'bringing them back from the dead' which I think is quite appropriate.
Also, I'm thinking have the mc as an evil character... properly bloodthirsty vampire. Stealth gameplay, with mechanics designed to create tense, suspenseful gameplay (like thief.) However, as a twist on the mechanics side, stepping into the light actually damages you, as well as making you easier to spot. However, to make up for this extra difficulty you have several undeathly powers to help out.
And as for the story, I have some ideas... in fact I might just start writing this :D.

Edit: you mentioned Molyneux. To borrow an idea from fable, the game could include minor rpg elements taht would affect the game. I like the idea of the contrast between brutal, bestial vampires and the deceitful 'dracula' type vampires. Perhaps if you're preferred killing style is to just rip in, tooth and claw, you become more bestial in appearance, whereas if you carefully lure enemies into secluded areas or even talk to them to convince them to follow you and so on, you then become more 'appealing.'

Meh. So far the board has decided to make a vampire game. And the most popular idea of a moral choice system is good/bad vs. humans? Is escapist really offering the best game ever as "Twilight" the video game?

I personally am tired of "good" bad guys/"bad" good guys, however you want to look at it. We are vampires in this game. We sold our sould for immortality and godlike power. As a service to RPGs we owe it to this game to have the role be just that - egotistical, power hungry, self-righteous bad asses who look down on the human race. "Good vampires" was played out by the year 2000.
I say no moral choice system but instead something along the lines of faction points with say werewolves, apparitions, demons, and other vampire factions. Their will be a couple werewolf factions - all mostly resembling barbarian government. The apparitions are in total anarchy and are basically loners or small groups at most. But they are powerful. Demons are all under 1 faction which is the monarchy of Hell. And then Vampires who are split into about 6 different ruling parties. You can have manarchies, Feudal systems, Beuraucracy, etc. The vampires have very civilized social systems in place.

You would have faction points with every vampire faction to determine that particular factions interest or disgust with you. Starting the game you would pick one of these to start out with getting a free boost with that faction by default. Not high thoough as you have just been embraced and came into your own, you are a grunt. You would have a modifer for demons set at 0 at the start along with apparitions, and werewolves. As for humans, they are fodder and you are suppose to feed from them. You could make it so you could feed off animals but it would not be hardly worth it and you would spend a LOT of time feeding off animals to get a decent feed. (Think 1 hour of feeding off animals campared to 10 mins of gameplay feeding off humans for a "full" feed.) There can be feeding tricks, like slaving a human and being able to call them to come to you so you can feed rther than risking breaking into their house once you have fed so many times off that human and other such feeding rituals.

The main story would center around the feeding ground in which the apparitions would play little role in. Really apparitions are just in here for fun as they are more "side questy". But Demons are sort of the bridged gap between werewolves and vampires. They can grant you more power.

If it was a vampire game, I would expect some Arkham Asylum style silent predator gameplay.
