has there really even been given much thought to a game like this? i mean i'm sure there has but has any info on it ever leaked to the public. or is it because EA has the rights to the series that we'll prolly never see a HP MMORPG. i mean really wouldn't be that difficult. you'd go to a witchcraft and wizardry school for a while to learn the basics and then it could be wide open from there. if anyone has a link or anything to another post or some other info please post.
If i got to customize my character, choose the murder weapon, the type of people i kill and the way i kill them (and some other parts of a charactersMO...)
I think i might have fun if the gameplay elements were good.
i'm thinking something like The Sims mixed with Manhunt and GTA. where you control your character during normal hours at a job, and then go out on part time and kill some people... you can juggle a family, a job, evade cops... bury blonde co eds in your basement....

pretty much exactly what i was thinking. this whole idea for a game like this has been in my head for a while now but just recently i really been thinking about it a lot more (prolly since the Manhunt AO news). i'm a literarture major/journalism minor in school and i been working on a book based on all the info for this game pretty much. college aged killer, works part time, likes to stalk local night clubs, big metropolis area, and is coming into his own as a serial killer. lol thats a phrase i never thought i'd use. there's a lot more to the book than just that, but you get the gist. and yea, some bodies could be discovered by the cops and some might not, just depends how good you hide the body or how hard you try to. i dunno, i think it would be a really fun game in a really sadistic way. and it's got that infinite re-playable factor because you could do something 100% different everytime through the game, as a cop or the killer. prolly just a thought for now as far as there being a game is concerned.
would you as gamers and consumers, consider a game that puts you in the role of a serial killer to be "too offensive". do you think a production company or studio would sign on and make the aforementioned game? now I'm not talking about a game like "Manhunt" or "Hitman" in which you are a "rampage" or "contract" killer. i literally mean you're a serial killer in you're own selected area of the country. the area in which you choose your victims, establish a base of operations, dispose of bodies, clean crime scenes to destroy evidence, and watch the publics reaction. there's countless games out there in which you hunt down serial killers, terrorists, and other assorted psychopaths, but none as far as i know that actually put you in the drivers seat of the killer. would this be "too far" or "too controversial"? assuming this game could be made with a very large M rating, would a company still take the chance and fight the inevitable outcries of disgust from the mainstream media? would you play this game or would it be even "too far" for gamers? i asked my friends about this the other night and they were leaning towards the responses of "come on that's crazy" and "what the hell", so i thought i'd ask the gamespot community. thank you.
