It would interesting and intense the first couple times. However, if it was your only means of killing enemies, it would get tiresome really fast.Veldt Falsetto said:

Not World War 1, last time I checked on a wiki page, only a handful, about 30 have been made about World War 1, and the majority were flight combats.BJ777 said:
Ohh, I thought that you meant wars in general.TerribleAssassin said:
Still, check out darkest of days, it has a loose connection with the WWI Russian front.
So let's say that it's a detective game set in that time frame, where you mostly have to work out the mystery but in some scenarios (depending on whether you're good enough to talk yourself out of trouble or not) you can get into a firefight and that's how it works, would make a very interesting game I think.irishstormtrooper said:
Yeah, but the game does make a mess out of itself, like in the sections where you have to mark a location for a squad of mortars, while you are being mortar'd.Karim Saad said:
Also, I know that people back then had cleaner vision, but it is still impossible for any human to spot a person in camo during a rainy day, in a muddy countryside and who is 100 yards away in tall grass.
Reminds me of Farcry 1.
Space opera without FTL-travel, taking place entirely in our solar system.
With Dieselpunk aesthetics.

Look at the battle of La Somme, you'd need balls to glorify something like that. And also it wouldn't all be trench warfare (I know you didn't mention it, but I was throwing it out there!)BearSharkTopus said:
These are some great ideas, unfortunately the AAA developers don't like to take chances. WW2 sells, modern warfare sells, space marines sell, and medieval fantasy sells. I can't believe that a game like Assassin's Creed was ever made. Why not just set in in WW2 and sell a million more copies?
The setting I'd like to see - the future. Not the near future Halo/Mass Effect where humanity is pretty much the same as it is now, but the distant, distant future. Where space ships are obsolete because people can teleport anywhere they like. Where genetic manipulation and body modifications are something you do in your bathroom. Humans have coordinated thousands of planets, and aliens exist, but are hundreds of thousands of light-years away. I'm thinking an adventure game with a protagonist from 20th century Earth and half of it is just understanding the limitless technology of the age and being amazed.
Also, the Civilizations games allow you to play through all of human history so far, although it is turn-based strategy. And the Warband games takes place in an imagined medieval England/Mongolia/Middle East/Ireland/Scandinavia-land and has some of best first person, realistic fighting of that era, not to mention the best mounted combat of any game ever made.

That's pretty close to what psychonauts did.Joseph James said:
And the vietnam war. You could play as the viet kong (which is probably spelled wrong) and have sneaky guerilla warfare. Sounds original.
"Neutral! The Game, based on real-life neutrality by the neutral-lest neutral county to ever be neutral." In reality that is interesting, but boring. A setting that hasn't been over-used is what you put so I'm gonna go with your lawn/backyard at different times of the day. That is a setting that is not over-used. Bam.minimacker said:
