The rules of this thread: take the seed (in this case, Grand Theft Dinosaur) and brainstorm random game ideas/mechanics for it. You can build on someone else's reply or go off on your own tangent. Let's begin.

GTD: You are in this city called Dino City, which is actually just New York City, but with a bunch of dinosaurs running amok. Your job is to...well fuck it who gives a shit. You go around with a huge tranquilizer gun, shooting dinosaurs so you can ride them around and eat pedestrians (don't ask me why there are pedestrians) and fight other dinosaur-riding thugs. You can also jack non-land dinosaurs, like teradactyls and plesiosaurs (like the Loch Ness monster, for you uneducated folk). The only guns you can get are rocket launchers and mini guns - pistols and shotguns would clearly be useless against dinosaurs. Of course, if you go too wild, there are mounted police - mounted on dinosaurs of course - that can chase you around and take your reptile-riding ass to jail. Think of it is...Shadow of the Colossus meets GTA meets Turok.

I suppose there isn't much of a story-driven single player aspect to this idea, but that's OK, I imagine this being more of a multi-player game anyway.

wow kudos to you stevesan. good idea for a thread. kinda airs out the absence of good threads in the gaming discussion forum. i like the idea stevesan but i think it would be cool if you had side missions like maybe start your own jurassic park. maybe a side goal is that when you take the dino you jacked back to your house you can fly it to the park and you have a sort of simplified zoo tycoon runnin there with dinos. hey maybe thats the end goal or "job" as you put it.

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! lol, ut pistol and shotguns and machineguns would ahve an effect, haven;t you played carnivores? it depends on the size of the dino. but that would be an amzing idea, i thought aobut it 2. also you could frighen herds of hadrosaurs and ceratopsians and wahtnot and cause a stampede

Oh yeah, and if a PC version of GTA IV is coming - then I expect awesome mods! Dinosaurs wouldn't surprise me >_>

Girl Theft Auto was also really, really funny. However, I think recognizing that makes me a misogynist.

Oh well.
