Your Video Game Ideas...

The things I could do if I had the power to create my own video games...

Nobody's gonna listen to me, but I gotta get this out...

I had an idea, on a multiplayer shooter.

The basic shooter setup.  Only with a SOCOM like setup.  You can switch from third to first player but each has it's pros and cons like visibility and aiming.  Basic weapons, and what not.  And the same aiming system as CoD 6.  You spray everywhere unless you use iron sights.

Some guns have perks.  Like the M416 CQB has the 'Cutting Corners' perk.  Where you can shoot around walls, Tom Clancy: Rainbow 6 Vegas style.

The G36E has a 'Instant Sniper Rifle' perk, where your shots are slightly more powerful and the scope zooms in just a hair more, but it's single shot only.

Of course, other weapons have other perks.

And obviously, these specialties are limited and require a recharge time to use them again.

In regards to the player.  The model is fully customizable.  Hats, uniform, camo, backpacks and everything.  Unlike Combat Arms, where you have to pay for equipment.  In fact, everything is free, it's when you level up when you can get better guns, but it's like a gun tree, where you can only pick one gun from however many others to use, and you can't change unless you level up again.

The maps take place in urban environments, and some large space, indoor environments.  In fact, the story is a horrible fan-fiction of mine full of rabid Krystal fanboyism, but we shall replace it with a better storyline that still takes place in the Notre Dame de Paris, the campus of Harvard, the hills and forest of Maine, the Grass lands of Zimbabwe, The Vatican city/Holy See, the inner Japanese Alps, and an arctic base in Antarctica.

The only other thing you need to know is that the two teams in every game are called 'The Guardians' and 'The Hunters.'

What we really really need is another good space sim. No more Freespace or Starlancer's out there...

Maybe the genre just ran out of ideas....I dunno.

Maybe one based on WWIIish designs, guns instead of lasers.....realistic physics and ballistics....compelling, epic storyline?

Psh, fat chance......

Maybe something with more mass market appeal...

Hey look over there another Sims 3 expansion pack! Sims: Uganda Nights! Decorate your corragated tin shack with dirty buckets and UN Wheat Bags.........Dress your Sim with "Donated" "Phillys 2009 World Series Champs" T-Shirts. Take up exciting jobs such as dump rummaging, matatu driving, or join a brutal rebel faction (If getting your hands chopped off by child soldiers wielding machetes seems unappealing, that is). But watch out for those naughty affairs with the neighbors, actually don't, they have malaria too.

Yeah, that sounds like a winner. And it would -still- sell better than a new Space Sim game.

No, I'm not jaded about how gaming has became watered down, not one bit >.>

Indeed. Something like this.

I see. That view gives a whole lot more flexibility in level design. But gives up the possibility to get a closer look at the characters compared to a side scroller.

The best would be if one could use a top-down perspective for most of the game, but it would automaticaly switch to a side scroller in important boss battles.

I'm keeping it simple for my first original game.

Of course. When you will be starting to make it, could you perhaps create a developement thread in this board? I'm interested in how it will go.

Oh god XD .....

Here's another idea along the same lines, Sim City: Pyongyang Edition, where you're the "Dear Leader" living a lavish lifestyle in a mountain retreat on the shores of Heaven Lake while your countrymen have to eat dirt and their own bodily excretions to survive, can't find any healthcare at all, have their kids indoctrinated in your schools,

get sent to industrial/death camps for having their own opinions and best of all idolize you regardless of the abuse you make them go through. You can also enrich plutonium for bombs, but don't get caught by the UN! Or else you will face economic sanctions. Have fun being everyone's favorite little megalomaniac, kiddies!

Ha ha! That's hilarious! xD

...and I agree with you, gaming seems to be getting watered down

Ha ha, good one! ^ xD :yes:

I wanted to create a Goth themed video game, with elements similar to that of "The Warriors" video game, and the video game "Bully" (a.k.a. "Canis Canem Edit") you know, free roam, beat 'em up elements...

You, as a Goth, gotta make your way in the big, unforgiving city...you fight through the night, going on missions to protect your club, your friends, yourself, from other goths, and punk rockers, metal heads, even emos...

you especially fight with the poser, wannabe, rich snob trust fund ass**** "trendy goths", who hassle you in the game, calling you a "fake goth/poser/emo/wannabe goth"especially in the clubs and parties (ironically, they're the fake goths...and the stupid "Ubergoths" who wanna make your life miserable...

you befriend  and protect bohemian and arty goths, make friends with D.J.'s (and enemies with other D.J.'s), and also battle bouncers, cops, security guards, bums, and street thugs, crash clubs and parties, and survive it all to come out on top...

as you move up, you get a better home, a better club, and better outfits...

I have to admit, I actually liked the warriors game...

But I think your game already exists, it's called "Seattle"

Are you serious!? Cool!  Or....wait, are you lampooning the city of Seattle?

A google search on: "seattle game" didn't bring up anything. Sure you got the right name for it?

Back in my early modding days when I was so nieve to think it was easy to make games I started work on a game called Brad Bloody Beatdown which was a similar thing only based on Streets of Rage and more British, so the baddies were chavs and emos and the levels were 'Get to the bakers' and other in jokes with game parodies like zombie levels ect, but after only a few sprites I got really sick of the technical limitations of the engine and packed it in.

Of course. When you will be starting to make it, could you perhaps create a developement thread in this board? I'm interested in how it will go.

I could. I could even keep you up to date with my learning games and excersises if you like, but it would basicly be. "It's broke, It's broke, It's broke, I'm procastinating, It's Broke."

I'm fairly certain he was making jabs at the city of Seattle and the Goth scene there...it's a pretty "hipster" place right now, that and Portland.

Yeah, I've tried enough of simple game modding and map designing to know its all an endless circle of try and fail, try some bit more, fail a bit more, and so on.

Maybe. I have barely heard of Seattle, and didn't know there was a Goth scene there anyway.

So I'm sure everyone here has had an idea for something that they thought would be a great video game. What is/was yours?

I remember when I was like 8 or 9, I wanted to make a game called "Koopa Kids Adventures", a Mario-like platformer where you play as the Koopa Kids to rescue your dad (Bowser) from an evil wizard (who had helped Bowser transform the people in the Mushroom Kingdom in the first Super Mario Bros. only to be betrayed by Bowser, and was now getting his revenge was the backstory.) Each kid had their own strengths, weaknesses, and powers. Geeky and childish, perhaps, but I still think it was a clever idea for a game!

Ya lol :)

I'm waiting patiently for its release :)

Let SFWii's release be in our patience in prayers and maybe someday our wish will come true  :).

Yes, you're right :)

Sho' nuff  :wink:.

BOT, a DS or DSiware game that plays kind of like the old arcade game Qix would be kinda cool to play. If you've never heard of Qix before, here's a video of what the game looks like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g5AS3Y7AtA

In the DS Qix-like game, you'd draw lines with the stylus to create shapes and claim a specified percentage of the grid in each level while you try to avoid sparks, the unpredictable phenomenon (can't think of a better word) that moves around the grid and other hazards, just like in the arcade game! Although I might put a twist on the gameplay by making the levels 3-D ala 3D Tetris.
