There are a lot of really good games out there. There are also quite a number of absolutely horrible games as well. However, they all have one thing in common: they are each games that belong to specific genrés. I mean, we can split hairs all we want and debate whether Deus Ex is an FPS or an RPG or both or neither or whatever, but every game is based around a basic concept of genré. But what if they weren't?
It's this that I've been thinking about lately. It just sort of popped into my head: What if certain games had been released as other genrés? The first example I had thought of was Starcraft.
What if Starcraft had been released as a FPS? Imagine being able to fight through the same sort of battles from a first-person perspective of a marine grunt on the ground. You get orders from your commander and have to carry them out, all the while getting up close and personal with zerglings and zealots alike, both of which could tear you apart if they get too close. Over time you could turn in your assault rifle for a firebat suit, or even get put into a Goliath to wreak some real havoc. I think that could be a real fun experience that would change the way people approach Starcraft entirely.
I was just wondering if anyone else had any similar ideas. Are there any games you'd like to see remade as a different type of game?
