What is THE most random idea you've ever had for a video game?

[ThaBenMan]

Young up and coming concert pianist Alfred Von Himstracht wakes up from a ten year coma to find that he is not actually a concert pianist, but a Faith Healer for electronic appliances. He struggles to deal with the sudden change and promptly ends his own life, which is when he discovers that he has actually been the ghost of a horse all along, and has been using a very powerful ghost horse halucogen in an attempt to forget his troubles. As a ghost horse, he learns of a mystical race track far to the weast (It's a new direction) that can end his ghost horsyness and bring him to a final and peaceful rest.

I would play the shit out of that.

Anyway, I had an idea (not too random of one, really) for a game - it would be like a nature documentary, something on Animal Planet or something like that, except for alien animals. You would play as the animals, foraging or hunting for food, and even interacting with sentient aliens, whether running from them, protecting your territory, or escaping from captivity. And there would be an ongoing narration like on the shows that would change depending on your actions.

Solid snake has turned into liquid snake and liquid snake has turned into solid snake and they must go back to their normal forms before ocelot takes over the patriots and destroys the snakes, resurrecting solidus and big boss.

Wait, im pretty much describing the story of a metal gear solid game. Hmmm.........

After visiting bantown, I thought of a game where everyone loses. They just lose. The more you try, the less you lose until you win at which point your profile is deleted. Every time someone manages to lose, everything they lost had would be randomly transferred to the loser in the top brackets, making it harder for them to lose. Then i stopped thinking about it because I could see it was going to be more complex.

Second person shooter.

First person = view of guy shooting
Third person = view of someone watch the shooting
Second person = view of guy being shoot

The problem is that you can't see the character that you're playing and you only get the view of a guy who spends most of his time sitting around waiting for you to show up.

I need a little advice...

What is the difference between the XBOX 360 that is $200, $400, $600 US? What is the extra memory necessary/most used for?

I need some expert advice on buying a raffle item for my group's Christmas concert? All suggestions would be helpful.

a game where you shoot diamond dogs and golden cats like a frisbee to giant rapist penises(like the hentai ones) and they beg for mercy but ooh no you won't have mercy for you are the boogie man,but you are also made of hot steamy books and you have a weakness for fire, but you must fight that weakness for what don't kills you only makes you stronger

....it's all soo soo emotional and ,at the same time, covered with a slight touch of violence

An army of 1000 marches on you home, your friends, family, and way of life will be wiped out of existence unless they are stopped. The entire goal is to kill off the army with your only available weapon, a chicken. Lucky for you, you also have the ability to alter the space time continuum in all matters relating to chickens. This means that turning the chicken around and launching eggs out of its ass at 20 eps (eggs per second) machine gun style is well within your ability. You can do anything with this chicken in order to kill the army. Here is just a few of the ways I came up with:

-Freeze it and shot it at the army, Mythbusters style
-Have the chicken get in a car crash the replace various body parts with cybernetic enhancements
-Have chicken teach the army calculus, They will all die from a combination of boredom and suicide
-Use genetic manipulation to create a super chicken
-Infect the chicken with T-virus
-Use the chicken as an arrow
-Use the chicken as a blood sacrifice to open a portal to Hell
-Channel you PSI powers through the chicken, think a kind of chicken lightsaber
-Cut off its head, light it on fire, and let it run around while constantly reviving its health
-Teach it to become a Super Saiyan

Those are just a few ideas, I was board one day so I have lots more where that come from, but reciting them all would just take too long.

I got this idea while posting something in a different thread:

Spoiler: Click for Large Dose of Concentrated Awesomeness

You have to admit, the plot to that game would just write itself.

A "The Sims" game based in the 4chan universe....

 

[MSORPG pl4y3r]

"The Escapist: The Video game"

HERE HERE! With all the ppl on the site as NPCs.

my acctual idea I came up with a few seconds ago in a "future vision" style flashback thingie; A game where you play as a tree and ppl come to you like hippies or loggers or other numpties and the tree (you) control the forest and decide how to deal with them, like smack the hippies up side the head while there tree huging or have a buisnues meeing with the loggers ending in them leaving because they dont know what the word agreeent means or somthing or other.

Yeah... I was reading about some old games, and watching a sci-fi series, and I just though that, in every sci-fi series out there in which they fly around in a ship, there is always one episod where the ship get's infected by metal-eating insects running around eating stuff and being annoying.

I felt like making a game where you controlled them. Would be kinda neat.

Weirdest one I've actually put to print: On this very forum, I suggested a Patrician/Port Royale-style trading sim set in the Elder Scrolls universe. With your fleet of ships, travel from Hammerfell to Summerset Isle, trade saltrice from Morrowind for bloodgrass harvested from the gates of Oblivion and shipped down the Niben to Leyawiin, and smuggle Skooma to Elsweyr while avoiding the watchful eye of the Imperial Legion.

Use the money you've earned to build a mighty estate and produce your own goods, no longer reliant upon those bothersome Imperials to do your manufacturing for you and rich enough to rival the Emperor himself.

It is millions of years in the future and humanity has failed to leave earth. We got lazy or something. The Sun is about to dramatically increase in size vaporizing every planet that side of Mars. So with our last remaining years, we launch a juvenile deliquent into space a la the Kryptonians, with the last of our fuel. Only a team of nihilistic super villains have also deserted earth and are now hunting down the youth across the galaxy. But then they all learn that a nomadic alien lifeform sucked all the energy out of the sun and so earth was saved from vaporisation only to be now floating aimlessly through space while its billions of inhabitants slowly begin to die. Thus the race begins to find a large enough spaceship and then earth itself to rescue the dying human race before all is lost. Meanwhile the super villains have managed to brainwash the leaders of a nearby alien warhost into believing that their ancient intergalatic foes are hiding on earth and that the youth is in fact one of them in disguise.

It will be the greatest space opera ever made.

Well since anything I come up with now will be equally as random as any other idea I shall make a game idea now.

Some guy has to overcome a problem. The end.

Nice, I have thought of something similar but not as good as that before but you shaped it into something great.

You're a fat man with a big beard. You are a beer-a-holic. However, you cannot feed a bottle to your mouth and you're too stupid too come up with a better idea. So, you embark on an epic quest to get rid of that damn beard.
