A game about samurai and pirates fighting in the neolithic period with random spetsnaz soldiers and demons thrown in.
Period of History You'd Like to See in a Video Game
- Thread starter LesCorbeaux
- Start date
World War One, Prohibition era America, the age of exploration (especially in Australia), the history of the British raj, ancient mesoamerica, the roman/persian conquests, the French revolution, the industrial revolution, Mohammeds' conquests, various natural disasters, communist russia and the eastern bloc, the "swinging" 60's.... fuck there's loads that games could, but don't properly cover. The games industry is the worst for sheeping successful titles. I'm pretty fed up of WW2/Modern War/SciFi Fantasy. Thank the lord for La Noir. Lets hope it's good
I'd like a clever RPG having to do with the mythology of ancient Egypt or ~ middle America (Aztec/Mayan culture, etc). Ideally a story-driven-RPG which teaches about the mythologies (tho probably while pretending all myths are true for added epicness - but hell, a drama of ordinary people could work just as well if executed well) and builds on the player's skill rather than upgrading spells or pants.
In fact, I'd love an RPG where clothing didn't have any stats at all and weapons would reach the peak of their usefulness long before the end.

Native North- and/or South-American RPG (before foreigners settled).
Native African tribe RPG (before foreigners settled).
Celtic RPG (before Romans, Vikings and Anglo-Saxons invaded).
Samurai RPG.
Australian aborigine RPG.
Inuit RPG.
Cavemen RPG.
Medieval England RPG.
Non-North-American-side-of-ANY-war-involving-them RPG.
100-year War RPG.
(By RPG, I mean more a sort of action-RPG like The Legend of Zelda, though I guess any type of RPG would do)

I actually had 1/5 of a script lying somewhere around my computer in which you you play an "entirely subjective" group, beloging to the monarchy, in a country overrun by angry peasants. As you travel and several conflicts and implications arise, you go about discovering why the uprising happened in the first place, a reality which your parents, the king and queen, wished to keep secret.Boundless Apathy said:
It all hints to the French Revolution and the Flight to Varennes, but does take a few steps away from historical accurracy.
That series already has enough temporal paradoxes to make my brain melt. He goes back in time and with the help of several versions of himself (wait, what?) destroys the timesplitters before they were created. If the timesplitters were never created then he never went back in time which means that he never stopped them and so they were created? (*Brain melt*). Despite the fact the land changes to show it hasn't been wrecked by the timesplitter war they all still remember it happening even though it didn't and corporal heart is still dead even though she isn't.josemlopes said:

Eh...I can't see it making it past the sensors. If Ireland has to change their national anthem for rugby and football to avoid offence then I don't think we are quite ready for this. How they got away with showing the IRA versus the Taliban on Deadliest Warrior (IRA creamed the taliban by the way) I'll never know. Especially as he starts off with neutral words but if you listen carefully he starts to take sides a bit. XDNo_Remainders said:
A western RPG type game but instead of your generic medieval Europe setting, maybe roman or Greek or middle eastern.
I think a game like that would work beautifully.

I don't understand this.Scorched_Cascade said:
The Republic of Ireland has one national anthem, "Amhrán na Bhfiann". That is sung at football matches... That hasn't been changed at all?
The rugby situation is slightly different because it's not the Republic of Ireland team. It's the Island of Ireland's team. So they sing Ireland's Call (because that's related to the entire island) and also "Amhrán na Bhfiann" if they're playing at home. They don't sing the Northern Irish national anthem because that's "God Save The Queen"
I'm actually quite confused about what you're on about. But I think you're just mistaken.
I'd like to see some developer take a stab at the Aztec's and the possibilities surrounding their dissapearance from dominance. I'd love to see something like that, and not have it be connected with Drake, Lara Croft, etc. You know, play as an Aztec of that time or some such thing.
