It's the god complex that makes those games so fun. Yes you can make your player have a normal life, or, you could remove all doors from the kitchen, place some chairs in the oven and have your player burn to death.
Gaming Concepts That Would Revolutionize the Industry or at Least Make for a Good Game

Infuriating game, that one. Frickin' moon.
I'd like to see a damage system that just WORKS. No life bars or anything. You get shot in the leg, your character limps on the leg. You get shot in your gun arm, oh shit, you can't lift your gun. You get shot in the face, you die, or spray blood out of your throat and grab at your face in the next cutscene like Ed Norton at the end of fight club.
the new operation flashpoint is supposed to have realistic gun damage with lasting effects on the player and npcs
Operation Flashpoint: Rising Dragon is implementing the very idea you speak of sir.Fire Daemon said:
I got a few ideas...
The acme of environmental interaction:
A main character that has the abilety to manipulate solid matter.
Basicly, the protagonist can release waves to polarize and detach matter from the environment and then release another wave to add that matter to his body. The radius of the waves would increase parallel with the size of your newformed body. A limit to adding matter to your body would be necessary of course, because at a certain point, the gravity would simply crush it all.
Then, based on what is in your body, battle tactics would change. A body made from stuff you find at a military base would have serious firepower and great defense, but is also heavy and slow, plus, metal can be affected by magnets. A body created from what you find in the woods wouldn't have this problem and you could lunge entire trees as a weapon. Of course, wood isn't really immune to fire... And so on, and so forth.
Combine that with a decent storyline and missions and you'd really have something there. Needless to say, a concept like that requires some unreal engine power, what with the physics, matter/body generation and environmental issues and such...
Another concept would involve distortions of the time space continuum.
An adventure game in which you advance like normal, but everytime before you go to sleep, you can choose when to wake up in a moment in the past, with the knowledge you have gathered so far. changing and re-changing every situation based on what you know. Keeping in mind you can't go forward to a time you've already been in, you actually have to experience the results of your change of actions. This would work out real nicely with a delicately written script.

I still think that if a real video game company (not the History Channel) were to make some FPS games based on different, older wars like the Revolutionary War and such, it could be very interesting.
This wouldn't be a concept that would change gaming as we know it, but still.
I do like Battlefield: Bad Company 2's effort to make a destructible environment. It adds difficulty to the game, and is a great way to counter campers and such.
I'm not very creative at the moment, it's 8:45 AM where I'm at.

Jesus, what page of the forums were you on when you found this thing? It's 2 years old.oppp7 said:
