Ultimate Need For Speed Game?

I really been thinking bout a way EA and Blackbox could get NFS back on the map. In my opinion The Run was a decent game but with everything focus on story it lost it key elements like the ability to make your car unique and yours. My ideal is to take key elements from all the NFS games to combine and make an Ultimate title.

I'd say if they took the Customizable parts from the Underground series , the story element from The Run. Open city from Most Wanted,Carbon, and Undercover. Physic engine/ Cockpit camera from Shift 2 Unleashed. I think it would make for a intense and more realistic Street Racing game. I really want to see a Cockpit camera in one of the Need For Speed games based on the Illegal side of racing.

Shift 2 featured the best engine for excitement in my mind, it was very fast paced. I love the crash effects and the fact that you had to really earn a victory but not really like most NFS games where driving is easy but the AI is insane.

Dynasty Warriors with Blood & Gore?(Ideal)

I was thinking Koei doesn't want to do a M rated Dynasty Warriors game. Fan base is split , some say they want to see it some say it would ruin the game for them. I think they could go with what they are doing but release at least one game at the M rateing , bringing a more realistic feeling to the Battlefield in the Three Kingdoms Era. Im not saying a ton of bloodshed either. I just think Dynasty Warriors is cool they story is there but the Scenes and in game look upon it just dims it to a cartoon or Anime....

The Era was one of the most brutal for China and the world non the less. The chinese showed no mercy, killing anyone or anything that got in their way. Family , Friends and Allies alike. I just think for the people that would enjoy Chinese looking character models, Historical Weapons, i realize that there is very little in hirstorian records to indicate what weapons the warriors favored, but the elimanation of joke weapons such as the Arm Cannon and the Flute, Harp, Chain Whip(Way it was brought on at least) would make the game look and feel better.

Why i realize that narrows it down and you will have mulitple weapons appearing the key is to have multiple looks and unique fighting styles with those weapons. I think the renbu system was a joke but i think the 6 normal attacks should be stringed together endlessly but leave the charge attacks alone, EX attacks was brillant it gave the characters a Unique attack they could only pull of. The camera from 6 was also something i liked, it was set back away from the character in a more widescreen effect, it helped you see more going on around you while allowing you see everything in front of you.

More custimizeing options would be nice too, maybe not a make character but say you can modify and make multiple Outfits for preset characters from a ton of options.

One thing that really hurt 7 in my mind is that when Siege Weapons was used it was virtually unrealistic for that era and almost this one. The battering Ram controled its self and Juggernuts you could ride inlike a car... Ballistas were Automatic which is highly unrealistic.

I just wanna see a Dynasty Warriors game appeal to a more realistic crowd , but i love what they do at the moment, i just think at some time it will fall apart. This is something that could spark the series make new fans, and probably increase the sells in America. I miss the Dynasty Tactics , Kessen, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I felt these games really did the story justice compared to the Dynasty Warriors series which for the most part is unrealistic and same as them all very overdoing it.

Judas Priest Rock Band or Guitar Hero?

Im so angry that this doesnt even seem to be a thought. I honestly feel that this game would be a stepping stone for either company and make a vast amount of the consumers happy. Not to mention that their music is great for the game. They released so many albums that was all unique and different in their own way. I also think the fact that there is so many differant types of metal here that it would work out great in the long run with Difficulties. Try playing Metal Meltdown from the painkiller album on expert. Or maybe even alittle One shot at glory. All and all i think they have an endless amount of hits. But i also think their best music went unoticed cause it never got radio play...
