The kind of game I would like to see....

The kind of game I would love to see/make would be something exactly like Fallout 3 but the environment you play in to be like "life after people" (or I guess like "I am legend" but I never saw that, so I dont know) where the land has not been destoyed by war, but by the ravages of time. Thats the main thing I hate about fallout 3 because the land is dimal and gray and lifeless, but it makes sense for the aftemath of an atomic armageddon.

What I want is massive plant overgrowth. Vines cover windowless crumbling skyscrapers full of birds and other animals. Herds of elephants bred from those that escaped from zoos rome around with packs of wild dogs and flocks of parrots. Sport feilds become forests, indoor feilds become tropical greenhouses. A literal urban jungle, full of green, life, and beauty.

Im thinking of it taking place a few hundred years after something has happened to kill off humanity, perhapts a devistating viris or global warming or something. I guess the enemies you would deal with would be things like bears, wolfs, other wild animals and whats left of humanity. Or perhapts the game is the story of you being the last human on earth. Either way, its a freerome RPG. Mabey you could find a few pets, tame a wild dog or cat, or re-domesticate a parrot. Scavence parts from cars to make one that works, stuff like that.

Anyway, thats the type of game I would love to play, or even better be a part of making if I become a game designer. So, thoughts?

^ Yeah I like your Idea.

I want there to still be Huge Buildings but then still have Forests and Nature.

Not destructed by Wars or Bombs. Just Over time Man-Kind has died out.. That'd be a good idea for Fall out 4

Haha.

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

but in the scenario that humans are gone, what would you play as?
my best guess is a stranded alien.

cool ideas!

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

oh yeah, an alein would be great. it reminds me of an idea for a book my dad told me about. where aleins on another planet start to recieve transmitions from earth, probably some of the first tv brodcasts. they decide to make an expedition to find the lifeforms creating the transmissions but about halfway through the several lightyear trip the transmissions stop. they have gone to far to turn back so they continue on to find an earth compleatly devoid of humans. they know that intelligent life once lived here and they go out to find out what the hell happened. my dads book idea then goes on to discuss all the things that could happen to us, but I think the game would break off at this point and you go off to find out what happened.

or the stranded alein is good to, humans are long gone and the game starts off as a battle rages on over earth. the war is not trying to concer earth, its raging on all over the universe and two armies happen to meet at earth. the game starts and your in control of your spaceship and get to fly around shooting stuff, eventually the level ends and your shot down and crash onto earth. the battle eventually comes to an end and both sides move on, your presumed dead and your ship and all the equiptment is shot. so your stranded with no hope of rescue and no communication on an alien planet, left to fend for yourself. you start out with your standard alien sidearm, but it wont last forever so you will need to find other weapons and work on your special alein abilities, perhapts you have psychic powers and other neat stuff like that. A few friendly and not-so-friendly encounters with other stranded aliens would be cool to.

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

One thing to consider, if the game would take place in the US or southern europe;
These places have their long-time nuclear waste storage on the surface. If everyone died, there would be about 2 weeks of electricity and then the diesel-generators would kick in to make sure the water cooling the rods (with nuclear waste in) would keep flowing.

But after a while the generators would run out of fuel and the rods would overheat due to the water coming to a standstill. And when a certain temperature would be reached there would a be a steam explosion (like the one in Chernobyl, only bigger due to some stuff that happened there), throwing enormous amounts of nuclear waste into the atmosphere.

The only place I know of, that this would not happen would be northern Europe. Germany and Scandinavia. The long-time storage is kept deep underground (about 250m) in the mountains. So there would be no immediate fallout, maybe some carried from eastern Europe by wind but otherwise, none.

How do you feel about scavenging/hunting for food TJ? Or maybe being able to grow food?
I'd like that though I think a lot of people would find it boring if you had to constantly have a supply of food/water...

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

I would think something like this:
Basically what you said, but with the main thinking he was the last surviving human and later he figures out that there are a few surviving colonies scattered around the earth and you have to find them then help them train them to become part of a cleanup/fighting crew to get back the planet and restore the earth in a better, less pollutant way.

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

So.. Pretty much a "I am Legend" Game? Except without the Crazy Zombie thingys.. Kinda..

Or maybe you play as a lifeform of such and Evolve? That'd be niffty! Say if you sepnt alot of time in the dark you'd grow use to it an be able to see in the dark..?

Or if you run everywhere you could RUn faster and Longer distances?..

That'd be cool.

ummm.... we will just pretend all of that nuclear stuff isnt there. its a game, so it doesnt have to be totally realistic. you can scavenge and hunt for food, but you dont have to. food would have healing properties, but you could go through then entire game without eating and be fine. basicly, think fallout but without the bombed out nuclear wasteland. the environment you play in is the key difference here, like I said I hate the nuclear wasteland of fallout. Its just to ugly. Dont get me wrong though, I still love the game, just not the wasteland. So I was thinking an RPG set in an earth that has been devoid of humans for a few hundred years would be interesting. Pluss personally I dont really care for humanity so imagining sutch a world is, to me, pure beauty.

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

sooo would you kill enemies or would you scavenge wildlife and built a leopard-skinned man cave?

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

^ You'd Survive and if that means Killing then yes, I think you should be able to make "Allies" maybe do Jobs or Quests for them so you become friends and when you need help they hep.. Sort of thing.

 

[Wonderfoole WINO]

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

either, or both. whatever you want.

kill some enemies, hunt some animals, and top off your day by running into an elephant or bear. you could run into just about any animal due to them escaping from zoos.

 

[ScareCrowReturn]

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

Yeah it'd be soooo good!

Like the more you explore the More Animals start showing up and Different ones.. Obviously at the start you'd just see Rats, Cats, Birds and Dogs.. Then you'd Explore more and see Tigers, Giraffes, Pandas.. haha! I love it!

And Like SOme part of the "World" "Area" you're in its like Snow, so the penguins, Polar Bears, Wolves would hang about and then a Part is a Desert.. and Jungle.. and So on...

It'd be SO COOL!

Re: The kind of game I would like to see....

oh you know what would be really cool, a weather system that makes it winter in winter, summer in summer by the date on the console. I think the location will just be some made up city and the location isnt really clear.
