A setting for a game which has not been over used.

I genuinely think this has not been over used...

GTA IV setting: Specifically a "real world" with a meloncholic quality and reasonably grounded in reality. I think GTA does something that no one else can. I fully expect the next GTA to carry on from TBoGT with its over the top style, so I would love to see more games in the style of GTA IV.

Ancient Egypt
Feudal Japan
Victorian England
Russian Tsardom
Gaul (ancient France)
17th century Caribbean
American Civil War
Colonial Africa
Mayan Empire
... etc.

History is rife with interesting settings for a game. All they need is a developer with the will and creativity to make it work.

Post nuclear disaster Chernobyl...<.<

One setting that no one ever uses is that time in the Bible when the Hebrews crossed the river Jordan and killed everybody that didn't submit to God's command. Fun times.

WHERE are our WWI themed games?! we got WWII down, but WWI is underrepresented! and i can never get enough genuine victorian steampunk!

 

[MrGalactus]

Egypt would be cool to look at, but what would you do?

Maybe A First Person RPG Set In Rome Where You Start As A Lowly Soldier Or Merchant Or Whatever Job And Work Your Way Up Until You Can Maybe Become Emperor And Deal With Taxes, Goths, Keeping People Happy And A BUNCH Of Other Stuff Until The Empire Splits And You Can Choose To Save The West Or Build Up The East And You Can Have Kids And A Family Tree ALLLLLLLLL The Way To The Fall of Constantinople But You Could Still Save It And The Empire Keeps Going Until Now

I have never seen a game set in WWI. But thats because trench warfare is very boring.

The Renaissance again. And the inside of people's TV's again. We oughta do that more.

 

[Good morning blues]

Westerns, man. Fortunately, the success of Red Dead Redemption means that we'll probably start to see them more often than once every couple of years.

 

[MrGalactus]

I got another; Cromwellian Ireland. IRA era Ireland would make a great one, too.

kids in the 90,s with PSI powers as a RPG
or GTA Amsterdam seriously HOW HARD is it to make a crime game set in the drugs capital of the world?
PS or maybe Edo Japan

We need Prehistoric settings! Dinosaurs! Cavemen! Giant Tigers! FUCK YEAH!

Or a steampunk setting for an RPG would be epic. I really liked the fantasy setting of Morrowind. It hasn't been overused because it was almost completely original, it actually felt like a different world. Oblivion was a let down in that regard but here's hoping Elder Scrolls V is just as unique as the third!

Saturday night in any small English town. All melee / hand to hand combat, with power ups coming in the form of dropped kebabs with chilli sauce you can run over. Bonus points for kicking in the glass at bus stops. If you come across one of the super-rare crates of Stella Artois, you get a 20 second beserker mode. Putting a traffic cone on your head grants you invulnerability for 30 seconds.

My Bedroom.

I know I'd play that game...

 

[putowtin]

a tale of two cities: the game

(now they've started turning classical literature {the divine comedy} in to games, theres no stopping them)

 

[Ze_Reaper_Of_Zeath]

Anything Steampunk.

Imagine...

Sigh.

90's kids with PSI powers? Sounds like the Mother series to me.

I don't know about Amsterdam though. Imagine doing a car chase mission in Amsterdam's narrow streets (and you just know every GTA needs at least one). Sounds like a recipe for frustration to me.
