your ideas for a game

[[R-DEV]OkitaMakoto]

Since I played the terrible attempt at a sniper game Sniper Elite I had it in mind to make my own version

Itd be a lot like Battlefield 2 in look and feel, but youd be a sniper only. Coop with spotter perhaps. And multiplayer against other snipers.

Various factions like US, British, INS, Russians, etc

All nonsniper players are AI set up in squads and convoys etc. Itd have to have a good AI system for convoys, logistics, squad interaction etc.

Thered be a complex morale and logistics system in which the sniper must work off of to bring victory to his own troops. Enemy squad holding a stronghold near your friendly forces vital supply line? Shoot the squad leader to severely decrease their morale and perhaps force them to withdraw. Find a way to halt a convoy and perhaps tanks dont run that day, or perhaps the enemy troops are less likely to blast away so many rounds at you and your allies, etc.

Of course, theyd have a good air asset to call in on you if they saw your muzzle flash, heard the direction of the round, or if you took 10 shots in a row.

Taking out enemy snipers would of course be vital as well but not as much emphasis would be placed on that. Id rather you have to work to set up in a GREAT spot than running around sniper hunting on your own :P

I can just imagine it being such a great battle of wits. Watching the enemy, trying to judge where they will set up strongholds, what sort of supply line theyre looking for, etc [if the AI is really that good, but since this is a dream game, they are]


Theres more to it, but mainly just a good sniper game with a great engine for bullet physics, great urban warfare with highly detailed/war torn buildings, great AI battalions to compete against, and possibly an implementation of a good solid multiplayer in which two sides of sniper teams[maybe 3 on each] try to help their team achieve victory

Yeah, something like that or the sniper missions from cod4 except it'd be less scripted and not so much "american-action-movie" like with enemys not caring for their lives. More make it clean and good.
Acctually, having a game in which the AI is somewhat "afraid" and doesn't just relentlessly jump into the line of fire from their enemies would be nice.


Or an other idea would be somesort of quake III like game except it would focus more on controling gravity (although playing that cave/tunnel level on crysis yesterday made me reconsider that idea due to nausia and confusion) and such and be slightly more puzzly.
Or just a massive quake III clone with up to 256 players on a quite small space map.


Edit: another idea I've had in mind also would be a game based on the tv-series "cops", with reheheally advanced physics, ai and a random mission generator. Basicly it wouldn't have any story or such, just playing a mission when feeling bored ofc with friends in coop or police/thief scenarios. Also, it would give you a grade on how well you performed after each mission, for example, drawing your gun will reduce your score minimaly, slightly more if you had no reason to it. Shooting without reason even worse etc.

[*]what would it look like?

Graphics on par with Republic commando.

would be designed to work with joe the plummer's computer, and without any rediculous purple force powers
[*]how would it play?

It would be basically a continuation of the Jedi Knight franchise with features from Republic commando thrown in, (i.e. mixing two of star war's best games, instead of making a crap game which still makes them money cuz its got "star wars" in the title.)

A mixture of all out laser dodging fights, mixed with stealth missions and also a squad command interface with the squad AI featured in Republic Commando

The major addition to the series would be multiple storylines, probably linear in nature. Also, this game would see the return of the X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter gameplay. I.e. a first person space flying experience, except this would use revamped physics that more readily take in to account the lack of gravity and air pressure in space.
[*]what would the theme be?

Star Wars (or star trek, but thats a smaller market )

haha, sounds like fun, but would be cool if there would be enough for high replayability? maybe if it was done good!

Id make a zombie survival game as inne huge city with open buildings and thousands,no, millions of usable objects and weapons,incluiding cars,stuff to build barricades etcetra,add some
friends in,add some survivor NPC,add a character customization system,real time weather and night and day,add it to ur own litle free sever for you and your friends to keep runn9ing day and night and just play it whenever you want(liek singeplayer,save at special savehouses OFC) and let ur friends join ingame
And offcourse add a ze zombies

Basicly this would be a zombie apocalypse simulator

you'd probably need some missions, though. barricade yourself into a house with food and water... and then what? :P

...Shoot zombies, what else!?


:P

Seriously, I could go for an ArmA sized zombie sim. Sit on your roof with an hour to spare and just blast zombies. Or have a buddy on another roof and do like they did in the new Zombie flick, call out the details of a certain zombie and see if your friend can pick them out of the zombie horde and kill them :P

Pile friends into a gun shop and stake out on the roof :P

TONS of stuff to do, no need for lousy missions :P

Basically Fallout 3 with Multiplayer but with Ghouls (mutated humans aka Zombies) are everywhere, and some barricade builder tool?
