My new game idea! comment plz.

My idea for an xbox 360 exclusive game which takes elements from all of my favourite games!

I have tried to keep wall of text factor to a minimum, so please no flaming but constructive critisism would be fine. I will add more flesh to the game as time goes on. I this post isnt appropriat in the 360 disccussion forum where shall i put it?

MAIN STORY MODE

GENRE: RPG

PLAY TYPE: FREE ROAMING, OPEN ENDED.

STORY IN BREIF:

-PROTAGONIST:

*STATUS:An unwilling test subject in an experimental cyborg soldier program. His left arm was replaced with a cybernetic one that gives him certain abilities, the corporation that did this to him had kidnapped him to do it, hence his desire for vengance.

*MOTIVATION:Seeks vengance on the corporation who altered him.(This is at the start of the game, your affiliation to different companies can change though.)

*STARTING POINT:In a ship on unknown coordinates(each time you play the game it goes to a different planet)as you play through the game and you go on the ship to different places you will have flashbacks of memory, until you get the full picture of what happened to you, this is when you start getting all vengfull.

-WORLD SITUATION:The galaxy is divid into four major corporations seeking for dominance over the galaxy one of these corporations was the one that your PC has had dealings with, they were using him to get an edge on the competition. Each corporation has varying moralities, and the companies that you align yourself with can alter your morality, it can be a tough desicion trying to choose sides, because each side has something to offer, like the company your character originaly worked with can offer upgrades to your characters cybernetic arm. Doing tasks for each company such as aiding in their war effort are some of the things that affect your alignment.

FEATURES:

-PARTY SYSTEM:

*Along the way you will meet friends and such who can aid you.

-PERSPECTIVES:

*The game will mainly feature as an FPS but getting melee weapons can change that, also certain upgrades to your arm can do this to.

-MENU BAR:

*There is a menu bar controled by the D-Pad which works in a similar way to that of the kotor games, the bar options are as follows:

MAIN ABILITY - MAIN ATTACK - WEAPON

Telekenesis Electricute Ranged slot(you can dual weild guns and swords, but you compromise your main attack)

Time Slow Melee slot

Stealth

Heal.

(other abilities and weapons are unlocked throughout the course of the game)

Each ability and weapon you have can be upgraded in levels.

-VEHICLES:

*on planets with roads or open areas you can own vehicles and drive around to get to places, but you dont have to do all travel manually, you can get on the equivelant of trains and such.(you have to pay for these trains and such)

-PROPERTY:

*You can own as many properties as you like in any planet, except the less inhabited planets with little civilisation.

CONTROLS:

-SINGLE WEILD:

*LB: Perform selected main ability.

LT: Perform selected main attack.

RB: Alt fire/special selected weapon.

RT:Fire/Attack with selected weapon.

Y:change perspective(ranged only, melee weapons are 3rd person permenantly).

X:Reload/ sheath selected weapon.

B: Melee with a gun or impale with melee weapon.

A: context sensetive jump move, if you are at an obsticle you can either hold down to climb on top, or tap to barrel roll over it, just in a standing or walking position, tap it to jump, tap it and hold forward to barrel roll and hold it to sprint. The sprint roll and climb animations pull the camera into 3rd person temporarily.

Right Thumstick:change stance and fighting ****with a melee weapon and zoom with a ranged one.

Left Thumbstick:Toggle target select, this works so that you cant accidentaly kill an inoccent bystander and get incarcerated, however if you are up against foes who attack you, it is unnesecary.

-DUAL WEILD:

*All the same, except LT attacks with left weapon.

MULTIPLAYER:

-CO-OP:

*You can host co-op games of up to 12 players becuase the world is so big, and each player goes their seperate way and starts of at different points, these will be competetive and there willl be objectives such as, complete main story with highest level or you can set different objectives like go through the game using least*insert helpfull equipment here. And so on and so forth.

TBC!

co-op in a rpg like this wouldnt be such a great idea...high level running around with level 1 friends?

story sounds incredibly cliche.

didnt read most of your gameplay stuff.

I know the story is cliche but it is just meant as an excuse for all my gameplay ideas, and about the co-op, you all start from lvl1 and can save progress.

so your stuck playing with the same 12 people or starting over every time you guys play together?

sounds like a bad co-op system.

if its a decent length rpg that would suck to have to start over each and every time.

Agreed.

I did say you could save progress, each person, unless someone quits suddenly everyones progress will be saved by a lobby system which the host can enter, once the host has entered this 'quit' lobby, the other players will be told to save there progress, and the host can then quit, once this is done, the host can invite there friends to play at any time, and it doesnt need to be all 12 players who join again for the game to continue. The events in the game are not specific to wether they have allready been donekilled someone, to me that character would not appear in the game agen, but to others it will.diethecovenant

so then your still going to the the issue with diversity in levels like i described in my original post. and to not include events that deal with certain things being completed is just absurd if its going to be an rpg.

I think you should scrap the co-op, maybe have unlockable areas in which to play MP or something, make things less complicated

Sounds like a fun game. Infact it was a fun game, unfortunately the graphics sucked when I played it. Still it was one of my favorite games:

Why is everyone bashing the idea of an rpg shooter? Like diethecovenant just said, Mass Effect is an rpg shooter and there is quite a bit of buzz over that game. I think your ideas are pretty good. I like the idea of the camera going to 3rd person whenever your character does "action" moves. Keep thinking creatively.Headhunter01

Thanks!

Sounds generic on some areas, but my advice is to stay away from all of those "underlines" - it really is a pain to look atWebsunny

Ge... thanks
