I'm curious, if you could make a game of any genre starring any two characters from any gaming series, who would they be? And for their specific choices, why would they kick ass at what they do? They could be heroes or villains, but hit me with what you've got.
My idea is pretty generic as I'm more interested in creating this actual thread than racking my brain trying to think of the best combination, but I'm sure everyone here remembers the old sandboxes "[PROTOTYPE]" and "inFamous". A mash up of those games, starring Alex Mercer as the psycho who tears enemies limb from limb in hand-to-hand combat and Cole McGrath (sp?) who rips shit up with electrical storms and lightning strikes. It'd be an interesting twist and could even be played co-op. Each character has plenty to lend the other (Cole can use polarity shields, conjure thunder storms and travel at blistering speeds across metal surfaces, whereas Alex can both run and jump to ridiculous degrees and traverse the landscape faster, including the use of vehicles). I'm imagining a mechanic similar to Army of Two with the polarity shield, with Mercer using the extendo-arm or guns to cause havoc from right behind Cole.
It could also breed development for both characters including (inFamous spoilers)
Anyway, what do you guys think? Would you like to see a game where Marcus Fenix and Tequila Yuen (from Stranglehold) battle side by side, or maybe a game where the Prince of Persia shows Faith a thing or two about acrobatics?
