Mate, what about DA universe?
The Witcher Universe is based off the works of a highley successful Polish author.
What about Science Fiction?

Erm, perhaps add something on the bottom of your post saying that we suggest a setting we'd like to see?
They did actually do a GTA london I believe (I might be getting confused about that).
Personally I'd like to see a game set in Australia. Big open spaces and all that.

If you're complaining about stuff getting repetitive, I would say that all modern FPS's all take place in the middle East, or agains Russians.
What did you expect? The market is dominated by American firms, and they do what is relevant to the American public, their domestic audience. They aren't appealing to Asian crowds like some Japanese firms release games for the american public.ZombieDeadNoMore said:
I believe I made a very similar thread in a different forum. Glad I'm not the only one whos bored of everyday shooters. I'd like games like Max Payne again. When it was thugs and shit. None of this war soldier crap or post-apocalyptic "junkyard" setting that seems to be the thing as of late. One that ISN'T an MMO or an Arena based game or thirdperson (preferably) or retarded looking weapons.
Or a freaking vehicle combat game. Cmon! I miss good Mech games. Or Car Combat games like Interstate 76 & 82. I wish someone would do a revamp of '76. What ever happened to Mech Warrior 5? Isn't that in the making?
Eh I'm loosing track and going off on a tangent

I think Skyrim is fairly different from Tolkien's settings. The upcoming Deus Ex has a unique setting (it doesn't matter if geographically you spend some of your time in the US, the "setting" is fairly unique and different from most modern games).
Mass Effect also has a unique setting. The Metro games are set all the way in Russia. You just need to look towards the right games and you'll find that there are plenty of FPS titles that do away with the tired U.S. at war with "evil" formula.

Ah. Well a more up-to-date version would be interesting. Although, that said, London is much more cramped, and the big wide, long roads in America are more suited to that style of game that London's windy ones. Still, I'd quite like to play it anyway...TheIronRuler said:
That's funny, the last few games I've played have taken place in an underground lab, a holiday resort planet, rural Japan, various ruins and tropical settings, an island populated by ghosts, the future (?), urban Japan, a brown planet with caverns, hell, a zombie-infested southern US and yes, some drab Tolkien stuff.
That's just recently-released titles too.
Maybe you should try not buying things that look boring.

I've been happy with L.A. Noir, Dawn of War Retribution and minecraft lately. Also, I don't mind having similar settings, I just find it annoying that nothing intresting is done storywise. Kinda why homefront was such a colossal disapointment.
Metro was awesome, but there aren't 'games', Metro 2034 should be in developement.XeroDesign said:
I enjoyed it immensely because there are very few games that I can enjoy in Russian.
mass Effect has a mimilar setting to most Sci-Fi flicks, and that's aliens. Don't tell me otherwise, you have aliens, no matter your originality - you're already in a genre.
Seeing as we're going down this road, WHY RUSSIANS!? Why is it always the russians who start world war 3, or are the bad guys in said war? It's absurd, as far as i know, the russians haven't actually become kill crazy just yet, so why does everything seem to revolve around them firing nukes into random cities?
At the very least we could change it for varieties sake. Why not have it so ENGLAND starts it, or better yet AMERICA? But no, that just wont ever happen. We'll see ireland start it before we pin it on the UK or the USA...

Like Yahtzee, you can chooce between the boring accountant with a steady paycheck (Gears of War) or a dangerous and exiting biker (Painkiller).RAKtheUndead said:
The problem is that a steady paycheck is better for the investors, but the gamers don't care much. Damn it, look at the Scott Pilgrim movie, it handicapped the studio, and the investors don't want to take any more risks.
It's called Metro: Last Light and it's coming out in 2012. Find a first teaser here http://store.steampowered.com/app/43160/?snr=1_4_4__13
I loved Metro 2033 despite all its technical faults and some rather stupid design choices. Hoping the new one will fix all that
I don't understand your problem with Mass Effect. Yes it has aliens and yes in an extremely broad and general sense it would be classified as a Sci Fi. It does, however, transcend every other Sci Fi game I have ever played. It has a rich and well established universe which is employed in an excellent manner to tell an amazing story, the like of which I have not seen in a Sci Fi TV series, movie, or video game.
