can you please just disregard all the posts until my one with the asterisks in a huge line, thats from where i need some help from all the others are about my old idea

i am too lazy to make a new thread

and i mean lazy. its late okay

 

[Cousin_IT]

Tom Clansey presents Team America; World Police (assuming the ultimate leader turns out to be Kim Jung-Il II)

 

[Ultrajoe]

Cliche X-treme?

Operation Genocide?

Elite Beat-down Agents?

Political Destabilization: Greasing the rails? (oil and blood reference)

Xenophobia: combat evolved?

sorry, couldn't help myself, serious now:

umm.... honestly i've got nothing, is there a unique game aspect? or a hook your hoping to exploit? if so use that, games that try to sell their plot... well, i've never been a fan and i don't think it comes off well all that often.

........

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

and over the next month or so i will be working on a very low graphics demo or maybe just a detailed overview or somethhing so you guys can give me some feed back

"Phantom Tactics"
That's all I got for right now

 

[sammyfreak]

To be honest this idea sounds a little bit derivative, what would set it apart from any other of the two million futuristic tactical shooters out there?

 

[The Sorrow]

Agreed. Too unoriginal.

Thats what he needs the name for.

How about "Vox squad"? Vox is latian for power and 50 other things.

So we can name the game Ghost Jericho: Halo that isent linear but is?

Also, please dont use caps in title of the thread.

 

[Ultrajoe]

damn you guys are harsh......

also your teammates can permanently die limiting your options in the future

like Yahtzee and weapon degradation, please name one instance in history when this has been enjoyable for the player.

 

[The Sorrow]

Still not enough. Sounds like GRAW, only non-linear (with some Commandos mixed in). To be brutally honest, it won't work. A small-profile game has to be unique to make up for its lower production values.

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

well do you guys have any ideas of what to add then

 

[The Sorrow]

Scrap the idea. Short of a completely epic, Oscar-worthy story, there just doesn't seem to be any major selling point at all.

 

[tino1498]

i agree that if you want it to work, you need it to be more original.

try a good skill tree. that hasn't been done well since dues ex.

[second only to The One]

i have been thinking of a skill tree, like one for each different character and depending on your accuracy with them and damage sustained you get more points to assign to your skills, the fact that they are cyber/genetically enhanced could in theory provide quite a few possibilities

in theory...

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

oh well back to the drawing board
