THE game

[ElephantGuts]

This thread is still here?

Alright, a suggestion combining this thread with that horrible Random game thread that got locked:

Zoophilia: The Game

Think about it.

I just lost the game.


:/

How original.

well it's true. I mean if he had named the thread anything else then I probably would have taken the time to think about it and give a meaningful answer. But then "the game" popped into my mind and I became dumbfounded.

Though, if you want an answer - then my perfect game would be to redesign Quake3 CPMA with VQ3 physics and a better net code without the fuckup's of the Punkbuster update from 2007 when they made punkbuster A into a separate process from B, causing problems within servers and making most users ping out. Now don't try to feed me any of the QUAKE LIVE bs, because the game is just utter crap in comparison.

Quake 3 is probably one of the best competative FPS games, and although it's time ran out, I think the game is amazing. It cut out all the stupid dialogue and didn't beat around the bush. Just a great straight forward shooter with great speed and good game balance.

Lawl, an MMORPG western of course.....

You mean like Wild Arms?

My THE game would be Portal 2. Longer, that's all. BUT Portal has been loved to death, so I'll think of something more original.

...

Still can't think of anything. I'm trying to think of a way the best RPG ever could be made, but all I'm coming up with is The World Ends With You. Maybe find some way to just... develop this a bit? I don't know, things like equipment seemed underdone a little in TWEWY, that could do with improving. Maybe some decent weapons as well.

I lack creativity, to be honest. And I lost the game.

2d sonic using modern tech and painted graphic like Braid. But then I'm easily pleased.

Either that or a genuinely good zombie MMORPG with no levelling/grinding spread over something the size of a country. Actually that has sparked a thought:

Simple FPS perspective, emphasis on the improvised weapons (condemned 2 style fighting), limited firearms caches (jealously guarded by player groups). A house can be protected to a certain degree so that it is "safe" to sleep in [ie log off and have a life] but zombies will naturally besiege these places.

Keeping yourself fed and watered is a major challenge. In the winter heating becomes an issue. A simple infection you might pick up from a nail could be dangerous without searching out some antibiotics.

Zombies would primarily be NPCs but players could choose to be one (or become one after being turned). These zombies would be a little faster and could help guide the masses.

And so on.

sounds cool. as long as it isn't expensive.

As usual, XKCD saves the day.

 

[OnlyWonderBoy]

Damn, I lose too. Truth be told i just wanted to see who else lost in this thread.

As for a perfect game I have no clue what it would be about. Curse my lack of creativity.

 

[blood77]

Team Fortress 3. With maps 7 times as large.

Yeah they did that already, its called Resistance 2.

one idea i once had was legend of zelda meets prince of persia. i think that would open up a whole new range of possibilities for dungeon design.

i also want to see a pokemon game which features real-time combat. not that boring turn based stuff in regular pokemon games, or that wannabe-realtime from the mystery dungeon games. i mean like you actually take control of the pokemon in question. but they will never make that because the stuff we have now sells well enough. i hate nintendo for this.

a third person shooter that isnt actually a first person shooter in disguise (resident evil, gears of war) or just a completely botched addition to a game that would have probably actually been better without it (shadow the hedgehog, and probably a bunch of other stuff).

a zelda game where link actually talks. actually a lot of games would be better without silent protagonists, b/c they either get words put in their mouth and told what to do or have someone say their lines for them. its also annoying because they just do whatever they are told to do. they have no free will.

 

[Shadow Tyrant]

Team Fortress 3. With maps 7 times as large.

God no. The maps are big enough now. If they were any bigger, the Heavy would be essentially useless as an offense, because it would take too long for him to get anywhere. And it's not like the Engie could just build him a teleporter, because by the time the little guy got over there he would probably be toast. You could have the Heavy guard him on the way over there, but the Engie would have to move slower, and by then the entire other team would have snuck around you, due to the stage being so big, and stolen all your intel and captured all your bases and what-not while you four (Engie, Heavy to protect the Engie, Medic to protect the Heavy, and a Scout who's just a douche) are off on an impossible mission.

yeah, same size maps, just MORE maps? yeah. more maps.

make a realistic starwars game. blood and guts fly everywhere as lasers shoot through the enemy, leaving gaping holes of chard flesh. A lone trooper is tired of fighting and convinces his teamates and higher officers to leave the empire and launch an assault on the deathstar. They make it through no problem , they get off thier ship and cause untold mayhem, they fight until thier's but a dozen or so of them, and darth sidious,(vaders off doing...somthing, but not there). unfortuneatly, the remanding force is no match for the emporer, and he disposes of them. Or did he? it skips to a cut scene where the emporer leaves the room and calls for a cleanup crew. one of the crew looks in on where the main character and the rest of his comrades lay, he bends over one and the main character stirs, chokes the life out of the cleaning guy,and dones his aparel, he then leaves with the rest of the crew. But what will happen next? sequel

You basically have two choices:
Fun; i.e. basically Pong.
Hyper-realistic; i.e. the Matrix.

matrix pong!
the most advanced AI and grafix settings!
you actually feel like your the pong block!

 

[Ameatypie]

i would say something that takes alot from the movie "Next." Its about a guy who can see two minutes into the future who basically goes to save a damsel in distress. and then sleeps with her. But seriously here - the ending is a bit shoddy, but the concept was AWESOME, definatly game material.

 

[PumpItUp]

Three reasons why the "perfect game" or "ultimate game" will never exist"

1. The creativity required to make a game interesting is counteracted by the potential for human error. The precision of AI and computers in negated by their lack of creative thought. A compromise is the closest solution but unfortuantely, compromise = not perfect.
2. "The closer a game gets to Portal perfection, the more glaring the flaws become" -Yahtzee. Someone, somewhere, will have have an issue with some aspect of the game because people are inherently different.
3. EA. Nuff said.

 

[Dommyboy]

This thread didn't really go on track that much ey? I lost the game some time ago so it doesn't really matter now.

How about a realistic sexual simulation game? And a 100% realistic one at that too. Oh right.

 

[Not Good]

The most badass Delicious Cake puzzle ever created. Oh wait, that's been done: Portal. Eh well they do have room to improve I suppose.
