We need a WWI FPS

Run, either die by machine gun fire or make it to a trench and start stabbing people with a bayonet. Repeat for serverl hours, game done.

There wouldn't be enough variety in gameplay for one to work. I suppose it would need a kickass plot and interesting characters and crysis graphics.

We've got Necrovision. But that one also features monsters.

if it was a worthwhile idea im sure dev would of been all over it by now.

What are we going to do today? We're going to sit in this trench.
The causes of WW1 seem much more interesting than WW1 itself. Or did i miss something?

I would love a civil war FPS done right. There have been a few bad ones...

I know the weapons aren't very exciting but if you could get enough players online (similar to MAG), it could be a fun way to relive some of the battles on a minor scale.

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"]

[QUOTE="mutantleaguex"] you kinda missed alot... WWI was the first "big" war to use automatic weapons, airplanes, zepplins, bolt action rifles, and mustard gas. nice try thoughmutantleaguex

To accurately portray WW1 the game would be pretty blunt and horrific, infact WW1 and what went on in what was basically a poinless war is one of the few things that moves me to tears, especially considering members of my own family fought and were injured in the war. Truth is, a pointless salughter of young men on both sides for no real perceivable gain and on very thin grounds would not make a good game.

Nobody wants to do a WWI game because WWI was a shameful episode in humanity. There are games based off of WWII because it was a clear victory against an unambiguously bad enemy.PannicAtack

so killing germans and japanese is ok?

So how you think feel germans to kill all the time their grandfathers?

a game like that would need something to defend it from the murderous CoD blow, It needs something to stand out of the crowd.... Its art style could be grayscale with film grain and what not. that would make it a whole lot cooler, as long as they get the lighting down so thats not a chore to spot enemies. That and they would need incredble music that amps up the pressure and makes it feel like you're don'ing something when you are prowling throught the trenches. There would have to be an incridble plot and possibly great charaterswith great voice actingto grab people away from the CoD crowd. and along with the art style the graphics would have to be top notch with loads of vaierty. Adding to this it would have to be very graphic because WWI was. and with very solid game play and great online it would be amazing. I would get it.

A FP action/adventure game along the lines of Penumbra set in various battles across Europe (especially Verdun) would kick some serious ass. Let's say you play a spy. You could accomplish tasks like delivering messages, repairing things, maybe even planning attacks in a command room, fly a plane, some Zeppelin levels, some operations behind the frontlines... A carefully staged atmosphere and many "things" happening around you, like in COD, would make the game awesome.

Or something like The Saboteur set in London, including the night attacks, would be really cool.

Or something like Thief:P

Creating a FPS based on WWI would be a very difficult task. Yes, there are plenty of skirmishes and battles that could be covered in the game (First and Second, and Third Battles of Ypres, Somme, Verdun, Meuse-Argonne), but the gameplay, more or less, would be repetitive (i.e. Trench Warfare). The game would need to include some variety. For example, it would have to include submarine warfare and/or air combat. The games land combat would need to be broken down into both the Eastern and Western Fronts, possibly utilizing two separate protagonists for each front.

every war is pointless, the britain empire slaved the world with their colonialism and what was with black people in america at that time. Humans had to weak up, it was obviously that some one had to go too far.

And why you say germans but for japanese, the word imperial in front.

[QUOTE="Verge_6"] You do not understand, it seems. The motives and goals, no matter how you look at it, of the German and Imperial Japanese forces in WWII were evil. WWI was a pointless, insane affair where no side was actively seeking to exterminate a race/nation.Verge_6

but you call the germans just german instead nazi germans or something like that,

i dont want argue with you anymore. Your knowledge end here anyways. I bet you think irakwar and hiroshima was necessary too. Or that your two fraction system real democracy is.

Seriously, do NOT argue with me on this particular subject. I have spent the better part of a decade obssessing over it. I have more books on the Second World War than you probably have in general.

if you remember from history class how ww1 was fought it wont be that fun. everyone sat in a trench and fought terere and neer realy gained any ground. Also tanks went realy slow, and i mean realy slow. They moved as fast as you can walk. EmperorZeruel

WWI game would be boring since most of the fighting will take place in trenches ^^

I think it would make for a very good game. The hell levels in The Darkness felt really gritty and dark, which led to it having a very unique atmosphere that you usually don't see in WW2 games.

Or dying from several kinds of flu and other fun diseases, of course, you could take off in a plane, fly around for 2 minutes then come crashing down because you ran out of fuel

I don't think it'd be too good as a lot of WW1 was fought in the trenches and if you went over the trenches, you'd probably die.

Wouldn't make the greatest game.
