Your unique setting to a game.

[Euryalus]

I would love a game where almost all the activity outside of cutscenes is at night!

Why? What happens at night? All the action?... with monsters... I think... Let's be honest I have no idea what I'm talking about XD

Play the damn games! The action in Persona 4 takes place in the day and at night in Persona 3! I would give a better description of what I want, but finding the words is tough! *woe is me*

You're quite the salesperson there Tizzy XD

I'll get around to it eventually. I've still got a massive list of games though.

Which one should I start with if I eventually get around to it?

 

[Fwee]

How about a SciFi-antasy sandbox where the entire first half of the game you travel through a world that's actually...
On the body of an insanely huge Space Dragon!
So big there's actually whole towns built in the crevices, and factions fighting for control.
And then you get to take control of the Space Dragon, and wander the universe to find new planets and people to join you and build their own spots on your Leviathan-Ship.

 

[GonzoGamer]

I wanted the new GTA to take place in Dover Delaware.
No games take place in Dover Delaware.

But seriously, how come they haven't made a game that does the whole mountain climbing thing? Like Mirrors Edge but on the side of a mountain.
It's gotten to the point where I do get a little vertigoy when playing some games; like in Asscree.

 

[spartandude]

A Fantasy Space Age, where the races have used Magic to build ships that can traverse the Nether. It wouldn't be 100% Magic, probably closer to a Magical Steam punk era where Space exploration was done as a financial venture.

i think Games Workshop has been exploring a similar setting


i would like to see a post apocalyptic game set in Barry Island.... actually you couldnt tell if the apocalypse already happened or not

 

[teh_Canape]

I've had one in mind for a while now
an open world RPG-ish thing (though more in line with, say, Minecraft than the Bethesda Fallouts and Elder Scrolls) in a post apocalyptic world that'd be like a combination of Waterworld, Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite
the planet is completely flooded with no habitable land mass and different human "cities" using different types, like some being underwater, some being floating or artificial islands and some being flying and then different types each, like say, what would be UK being a steampunk city while what would be Japan being Cyberpunk

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Maybe something more urban fantasy based? Either that, or a standard fantasy mixed with steampunk/clockpunk elements.

 

[teh_Canape]

A Persona game set at night, no school, just in a city drenched in style, catchy music and a crazy urban area.

Would love to see it...

I never played person (don't shoot me), but how would that be significantly different from just a palette swap for the game? Or is that the point XD

*shoots you*

Persona is usually set in a school setting, where you go to school, make friends and you only go out at night to a mall (P3) or to walk around a country town (P4)

except, as far as I know, the original two
in which the city goes down the shitter and you and your bros have to unshit the city, and the whole social life thing started on P3

 

[Harker067]

Wild west dinosaur RPG
Hard science fiction space adventure RPG set in our solar system in 150 years.
predatory bird flight sim.
Grims fairy tales style children's stories survival horror.
Squirrel survivor game inside a city (dealing with people traffic etc)
Multiplayer TAG game

There's a few things I`d like to see

 

[redmoretrout]

Survival Horror without any super natural elements. You play a child locked in a school with a psychopathic janitor. Hiding in lockers and what not while he searches for you singing nursery rhymes and scraping fire axe against the lockers. I have always wondered why game are so eager to resort to ghouls and monsters when people can be so much more frightening.

EDIT: I've had this idea kicking around my head for years, but light of the recent tragedy it seems a bit distasteful now doesn't it?

 

[VeryOddGamer]

I have this idea for a sci-fi anything in my head for some time now. It's kind of like the Matrix, except that it's kind of a cycle where every civilization at some point creates a virtual world and starts sending poorer citizens there, because it's easier to put them in there than keeping them clothed and shit.
So civilizations in the virtual reality also create virtual realities, in which civilizations create virtual realities and so on.
Well, also a part of the cycle thing, because the virtual reality is always a perfect recreation of reality, the Earth or where ever it takes place in is ruined to the point where it's just not possible to live there.
So, it would be that the richest and most powerful people would live in the highest layer. And the real world would of course be destroyed.

What, it would be a good way to justify all of it's game-like elements.

I know, I know, it's basically the Matrix combined with Inception.

 

[Darren Carrigan]

A Film Noire style game where you play as a private eye set in near future London.

I've just always wanted a proper noire style game. L.A Noire was good an' all but it didn't capture the same aesthetic.

stfu and take my godamn money you genius!!!

ever since seeing the UFO in the spore creature stage
and seeing tribal species react to mine I have been wishing for a game like yours...
bravo

 

[Zen Bard]

I'd love to see an open world RPG (in the "Morrowind" vein) that takes place in an alternate 21st century urban setting where monsters are real...and you're one of them.

Yes I know this is basically the "World of Darkness" that "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines" takes place...but hear me out (or read me out...as the case may be)

The player would play as a vampire, werewolf, witch or something. And each "Beast" would have it's own sub class that focuses on warrior, stealth, magic and hybridized skills.

So for example, a Mage type Vampire would be a Necromancer whereas a Magic using werewolf would be more of a Shaman.

But here's the kicker: Instead of playing a Chosen One who's destined to save the world from the coming Apocalypse, the goal is simply to survive and rise to Top Dog (or Wolf or Bat, as the case may be) of your particular group.

Alternatively, you could also play as a human "Hunter" who sees the Beasts and keeps the world safe from them. But that doesn't necessarily make you a good guy.

You need to read the book "The Three Stigmata's of Palmer Eldritch." It's written by the same guy (Phillip K. Dick) that wrote the stories behind the movies Bladerunner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, and Total Recall. The guys work was also a huge influence to The Wachowski's who made the Matrix.

Because the premise you just summarized there fits very well with that book.

 

[wrightguy0]

a Fantasy/horror RPG set in a fictional Louisiana City and Surrounding Bayou during Prohibition.

basically take the world of darkness idea a few posts back and move it back in time.

 

[Bob Thenecromancer]

I want to make a game that takes place in fantasy world but during the beginning of its industrial age (trains,primitive combustion engines,revolvers). You play as an adventurer hired by the king to hunt down magical artifacts and to kill magical Creatures shape shifters,witches,dragons,etc but when you are tasked to kill a girl accused of being a shape shifter you start to think that maybe what you are doing is wrong.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

-futuristic shooter set in "what if" universe if Nazis and the Japanese had won the war.

I think command&conquer red alert 3 was basically that but a strategy game, but an fps version could be nice, something along the lines of singularity (which was about a Russian time travel project during the cold war era).

Do you even Command And Conquer: Renegade?

Anywho...
I'd like a totally fucking spaced out fantasy game that moves out of the tolkien box. Do away with humans, elves, dwarves and that stuff.
I can't come up with any concrete suggestions as to content right now, but I'm sure some of you imaginative people could think up some wicked awesome things to put in a game like that.

I'd also like to see a WW 1 FPS, for example.
An assassin's creed game set in ancient egypt, perhaps?
Red Dead Redemption set in Babylon.
A Fallout game set in Norway. A cold, irradiated wasteland filled with mutated seals, polar bears, moose and lynx. In hardcore mode, you'd have to make sure you were dressed well and kept warm to keep from frostbite and hypothermia, as well as managing thirst, hunger and sleep.
GTA set in the UK or romania.
A cyberpunk set in Scotland.
The sims: French Revolution.

Iunno. Anything but WW2/modern day arabic country/desert.

 

[Lewg999]

Not sure if these have been done before but

An RTS without an opponent. Instead the aim is to use your military and science to protect yourself from an oncoming apocalypse.Possibly with a multiplayer mode in which the other player plays god and starts causing disasters.

An RPG/Assasins Creed style game set in British occupied India.

An La Noire take on Sherlock Holmes.

A CyberPunk RPG/assassination game set in future Sydney with a plot revolving around a cure for mortality from wounds ( Old age death only with exceptions for diseases ) with weapons and abilities adapted for this. Rapid aging and poisoned weapons being used to take out targets.

That last one is a personal want but any of those would be awesome

 

[Bigsmith]

A Fantasy Space Age, where the races have used Magic to build ships that can traverse the Nether. It wouldn't be 100% Magic, probably closer to a Magical Steam punk era where Space exploration was done as a financial venture.

i think Games Workshop has been exploring a similar setting


i would like to see a post apocalyptic game set in Barry Island.... actually you couldnt tell if the apocalypse already happened or not

Something like this? Yeah, I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[TheBlueShotgun0]

I'll go with my standard answer:

A survival horror game set underwater. Not in a submarine or an undersea city like Bioshock (although Rapture was awesome) but actually in the water. The protagonist would be in a scuba suit or one of those old-timey deep sea diving suits.

I just love the idea of directing your light downwards and catching a glimpse of part of something unidentifiable but unmistakably alive and huge gliding through the dark water. Or perhaps coming up against the face of an undersea cliff and then realising that it's moving... and has scales.

As a SCUBA diver and lifeguard, I can tell you that that would freak me the hell out. Combining the silent but ever present danger of the ocean with a tangible yet unseen monster would scare me, and I'm sure others, more than most other games out there.

OP: A shooter set in the modern day with one twist: The Roman Republic never fell. Meaning we skipped right over the Dark Ages, which lasted about 1000 years, and technology continued to advance during that time. The game could revolve around Rome's, and thus humanity's, first contact with alien life. Of course, because it's a shooter about Rome, war breaks out and shit hits the fan. I imagine the game concluding with at least one Roman colony world in flames.

 

[TheBlueShotgun0]

Sci-Fi rpg set in an alternate universe where the roman empire never fell, conquered the world, and had made first contact, established off-world provinces and rose to be the dominant force in the known galaxy

Dammit, got sniped. Great minds think alike, they say.
