If you disigned a game, how would you make it?

They say the best game ideas come from gamers themselves, so if you made a game what would it be like? Or what idea(s) do you have that you think should become a game?

For me I always wanted to play a free roaming zombie shooter. maybe it takes place in an entire city filled with zombies or maybe demons. It of course would have to be 3rd person and extremely big and with a BUNCH of cool hidden items and easter eggs and such.

Your thoughts?

wow thats realy wierd that you say that caus i'm working on a lil indie project that is pretty similar to what you described....only it;s more like metal slug.....

p.s. no stealing my ideas jerks!

It would either be the ultimate stealth game that takes the best elements of Hitman(guard partolling), Splinter Cell(interactive enviroment, Sam Fisher's skill set, some equipment) and the rest from Metal Gear Solid(Story, Gamplay, Weapons and Camos), then put it all in one game........

Or itwould just be a Super Sport Motorcycling Racing simulation

I would design a game focused on mazes, where players must know when to work together and when to double cross one another, using a multitude of different items based on the mazes's theme. You can for instance, pick up an item that can cut down large hedges or create a wall out of thin air and block another player.

Or you can help a friend onto a ledge and he can leave you stranded, only to go further ahead and end up stranding himself, while you've found another path.... Basically it could be a large party game ideal for Xbox Live.

I would also love the chance to write an RPG, and add some new elements, such as a personality system where your characters traits towards one another evolve through the course of battle... for instance, one of your characters could be very weak on HP, and you ask your 2nd character to heal him, but character 2 says no, cause she doesn't like him or jealous that he/she has more money... something along those lines would add something new and dynamic.

Also, I would very much like to create an RPG with a more comedic story, rather than the run of mill, the world is doomed routine.

I would make a game that teaches people on how to spell 'designed'.UltimateRAGEX

sounds like a stellar game, haha

Thats kind of funny coming from someone who wants to make a game that "teaches people on spelling".

I'd make a game where you walk around eating dots and avoiding ghosts.Kelpmaker

I'd make one where you try to cross the street while cars are coming whithout getting hit, or maybe one where you walk across a bridge and a big monkey pops out and throws barrels at you.

OP: Sounds like a cool game. You should do some research on Left 4 Dead its not free roaming but its a new zombie game.

Anyways I'd probably make a realistic Military shooter.

Well, I would have six or seven themes and weapons and items built around the themes. For instance, a cartoony world where two characters are arguing in a house and they're throwing objects like pianos...TNT, safes, kitchen sinks, knives and forks. Some of which block your path randomly, others hit you and affect you...

for example, a safe can fall on top of you and lock you inside, trapping you. You either have to wait for someone to come by and made a deal with them to spring you, maybe for an item or something or you can try and crack the safe yourself...to get out... or... another player can put some TNT behind the safe and blow it sky high, and you land somewhere closer to the goal or futher away.

I think it would make a great party game. It's something I may draft out further with my screenwriting partner from England. He's like me, he plays a lot of videogames. We'd just need a good team behind us to create a working demo. I would say, Microsoft and Sony might bite at the chance.

Too bad Dead Rising is broken, in my oppinion anyways. That and its only in a Mall. In an entire city would be so amazing.

As for me designing a game, I really wouldn't want to because if I did, I would know what happens and it would make it boring :p

I would make it as long as possible but where it doesnt drag along and have a flawless combat system

a fps or rpg

Your thinking WAY to small, kind of like that, but much less "cartooney" and much bigger like oblivion big.

Lol. I would never tell others about an idea that I have for a game due to the possibility of them stealing that idea.

i like action adventure, but not free roam.
a variety of gameplay, combat, puzzles, foot and air or underwater sequences, minigames
shooters lack variety so maybe swords/ bow and arrow
third person
20 hours
amazing storyline, you havta watch the cutscenes, and there is history, purpose, motivation and future

so god of war :D

i would want a game thats a 3rd person futuristic shooter....with GeoW cover system and blind fire....ummm with a metal gear solid story line.....Halo 3 forge and theater modes....umm umm having amazing zone battles online and flying in aircrafts just like in warhawk......of course all this would be in a gritty warzone area like in killzone 1 + 2..... 4 player co-op online offline...and 4 player versus online and off.....and halo 3 warthogs!! with a fps passenger seat!!! that would be my perfect game!!

My game idea:

A game like Rome Total War but you start with only one village or a very small kingdom using various diplomacy, building your military, buildingbuildings and managing yourkingdom. The difference would be that there would be many more buildings to chooseand buildthan usual games.Some buildings may have little effect on a kingdom but it feels like you are in control of how your lands look and you`ll feel worse when they are destroyed. In these kingdoms items can be found, some items will be put in your capital`s vault like a Magic mirror or cursed gold. Some items can be given to your generals to enhance their skillslike a sword or helmet. These items can be taken when your general falls.

Every 7 lands you capture an epic video will be shown giving you a satisfying sence of achievement. also in addition a new point system will be introduced good points nutral points and evil points. When you have 20 points of a certain type You will be able to recruit a special unit to put in your armies. Nutral points are easier to get but the unit is slightly weaker. Good deeds give a minus to evil points but have no effect on nutral points and visa versa.

Your armies will be designed completely different first you will recruit only peasants now with the right training and buildings you will be able to create exactly the army you want for example each unit has 10 skill points available so if you want the peasants to be able to ride a horse that is one point used. If you want him to be an excellent rider that would be 2 points if you wanted him to be able to use a lance, sword, axe whatever these all need training and time but the variations are limitless.

ofcourse youll have armour up grades and experience is gained on the battlefield.

You would be able to design the look of your army with again a choice of many combinations finally you will be able to name your generals and towns,cities.

to be continued........

Make sure all the basics are well-done.

This includes camera angle, controls, and playability.

Lots of games did well in other areas but failed in the basics will not be a fun game eventually.

Get the fundamentals right before going into "great gameplay" or 'next-gen graphics"

erm you might want to check out a game called possesion TC because i have a feeling you would like it. Its not out yet and it may have been cancelled im not sure but check it out anyway.

^^^ and left 4 dead

3rd person shooter Metal Gear Solid style-

My game would be with the graphics of GRAW 2 and its weapons, tools and gadgets.

The plot would be about a military soldier which has been sent with a team of two to a foreign island situated close to the Philippines. Government thinks their is a rebel outpost trading with black market weapons. A whole weird plot happens ranging from knocking out rebels to take their clothes and dress with them, to throwing a fake grenade to your team to make the enemy think your a traitor.

me too or i just want a good zombie game to play with friends (hopes left 4 dead is good)

Mine would be a massive fps. It would be a huge battle with huge maps (choppers, jets, tanks, apc's) And when you got points you would unlock new weapons. Sounds like battlefield 2142 but biggerdeceased101

SuP3R_TooT

I've seen some things about left for dead, it look ok I guess...but I dont know all the details about it so I cant say I would like it.

my game is set in japan starring a african american orphan who is takin in by a martial arts master and is trained in the ways of the ninja but when his masters old rival comes back for revenge and captures the old master the student must now follow his masters captur aound the world facing many dangers and foes wielding a signature katana with a blade made of pure diamond. (the student is not traditional ninja, he is reckless and mixes street fighting with ninjitsu, no traditional ninja wear i was thinking more like surfing shorts with a unbuttoned dress shirt)

how about this all the ideas posted here be integrated together into a one big great gameheaven_in_hell

Hmm, dude, like Rpg's and shooters can't be mixed. -.-

Id make a full Automotive Sim game...

Like being able to completly strip and rebuild an entire car , Good handling system.. Drift/Drag/Race/Free roam ect + Weather (Effects of wind/Rain/Snow/Temperatures)

Realistic damage + repairs and maintence

Now THATS a cool game 8)ajc_176

I think they made something like that a while back. I don't remember it being executed particularly well, but I think something like that came out.
