Me and a mate was thinking about this. What if you had retardedly huge amount of money and could pay Blizzard or id-software or some other 'huge' company to design a game exactly as you want it.
What would you tell them to do? :duel: :charge: :knight:
Another X-wing/Tie Fighter spaceflight sim, *********!
Fallout 3 done perfectly with a story so long and intricate that it takes 6 months to complete it, not including side quests.
I'd ask them to develop a MP campaign for stw, mtw and stw (with expansions)
Close Combat 5 that doesn't crash and with an AI that can beat me.
Online Football Player Simulation. That is the same RPG way that you are a football player not an Elf or Undead..
I even had a presentation about it at university for a course that dictated to find out a unique product for marketing.
24 hours of work and I had compiled a video clip for it. Soundtrackked with Dance eJay4 on my own, people were dancing while they were watching my video clip. Aaah, good ol' days..
Well it was named "World At Feet" ~:)
a historical game where you can become a single man in a unit of about 80 and take part in large scale battles as a roman/spartan/scythian ect. and can build up strengh like an rpg but it dos'nt take 40 hits with a so called razor sharp sword to kill somrthing.... you know what, i just really want a time machine, i was not made for this age.
Flashpoint was good, but the graphic was bad, in the way that people, at long distances, were pixels (like delta force series).Quote:

A new Shogun: TW, of course. I'd like to see the graphics modernized, weather effects retained, and an expanded diplomatic system. I'd like to see the AI updated to be as challenging and realistic as humanly possible given today's technology. I'd want it to be as historically accurate as possible, but balanced with smooth, intuitive and engaging gameplay.
I think it would be cool to also expand the aspects of strategic agents, taisho, and daimyo--to add a "story" element to the game. Perhaps incorporate aspects of the game in "FPS" style, which are segued to when certain actions are taken, or circumstances are encountered. You become the ninja, kunouchi (female ninja--what geishas in the game really are, in my mind), or shinobi, and execute a mission, etc. If a daisho or daimyo flees the field, it segues to an "FPS"-like interface and you have to hunt down the fleeing general or defend yourself, etc.
This last isn't very likely, as it would require a completely different, additional engine, but since this is a "dream game" thread, I thought I'd put it out here. I might expand on this further when I have some more time.
well persoanlly I would buy up Blizzard and scrap the "l33t haxxor" game WoW wich is so lame and "candyland" it can get.
Instead I would pay 'em to make a similar game, but instead set the Forgotten Realms (you know what I mean if you played D&D-PnP/BG/NWN).
I got so many ideas on how it would be done I wish I was filthy rich! ~D
Just imagen the whole Forgotten Realm made in to one gameworld you can explore, grow powerfull and all around nice or naughty. :duel:
something like master of the puppets said, a mix of the Total War series and Mount&Blade. and they could expand this to include the whole world from ancient times up to today.and of course implement everything so it works like a sim of it´s own, I mean, I didn´t like the low visibility and the not-very-simlike flightmodels of planes in OFP, thought the rest of the game was quite good. after that I´d of course have to use the rest of my huge amount of money to get some appropriate hardware to have unlimited line of sight and enough RAM to put the whole world into it.~D
Well, I would certainly come up with more details and wishes while they were working on the game.~D
Oh, btw, I´d tell them to make a certain part of the game playable early on and add other content later on, cause i wouldn´t like to wait for them to finish it.~;)
He speaks the truth. Modern graphics, gigantic fleet battles, and Planetary engagements included. A dynamic campaign would be good, too.Quote:

Or a Counter strike type of Starcraft game, I know something like that exists, but it's not fun like CS.
Waiting for OF2 is like waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. It's starting to get to be a joke.Quote:

Mix IL2 + Lock On + Janes WWII Fighters + Janes USAF + Falcon 4 into a WWII prop sim.
Yeah baby! :yes:
A grand theft auto style game set in MTW. With options to be characters like the emissary, spy or assassin. ~D
A sequel to the Warriors. I'm not going to bother talking too much about the content but it should have but generally more mayhem and more gangs and alot more fun throwed in
Well, they are, as it stands, pixels. ~;pQuote:

Those and Flanker 2.5 added on top of OFP with a real physics engine, or in other words, OFP2 ;)Quote:

I can see it now... Playing Willy D'Bastard and his Normie Posse, performing drive-by archery on Harold G's cribQuote:

Working your way from simple peasant to bodyguard of the king, kill the king and try to take the throne for yourself? Sure, do it!

Wasn´t it clear from one of the first announcements that it would be 2006 or later?Quote:

actually - I've always wanted to play as the terrorists in Rainbow Six series.Quote:

A RPG where you get to play as a random people in a random place around 1204. You chose your birthplace, your look, all these kinds of things, and then you can play as a worker, a warrior, a mercenary, a priest, a nobleman or whatever else. Characters would have a load of different skills and stats, and the game would be played on a realistic map that would cover Europe, Northern Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
A specialised version of Rome Total War, modified in the following ways and run on a network of Ninja PC's:
1) There would be no monitor. There would be a few giant screens instead, all around you and overhead (in a room about 5 x 5m). Probably rear projector type stuff to avoid heat build up. Access would be via the floor, with integrated quiet A/C with temperature control and built in chemical dosing that adds in appropriate aromas depending on the location of your general in the map (i.e. in a summer field with flowers, or the cool wind of a northern winter).
2) The viewpoint control interface would consist of a mechanical bull modified into a horse shape (and with the bucking behaviour removed... except for when the general is under attack, to punish you for putting yourself at risk). The viewpoint as shown on the screens would be from the generals position. Movement of the "horse" by certain actions (i.e. pressing feet onto certain point) would cause movement of your position on the battlefield.
3) All other controls would consist of voice commands given to your computer controlled staff officers (who would ride with you) or using your sword (which would be a laser pointer/ lightgun type thing allowing pointing and instructing of units.
4) Information would be provided by the method of both the displays and also messages brought by computer controlled runners and advisors (Who would only know what you could know, and would not be any more omniprescent).
5) Actual specifics of the units control would be left to advanced PC A.I. (in other words, completely replace that in RTW). Alternatively I'd employ a bunch of Chinese RPG fans to control them if the AIs weren't good enough - in exchange they get to use the networked PCs for their RPGs for free when I don't need them sub-generalling for me.
And there we have it, Rome:Total Immersion...
edit: 5 x 5m room size seems a bit more ego-massaging now I think of it, and more pratical to fit a mechanical horse in.
a combination of Fifa and some soccer manager game. just like Fifa but then with also finances ~:) ~:cool:
but anyways it will never be nearly as good as stw ~;)
Are we related?~:eek:Quote:

I think Mendelil hit the nail on the head for me. Throw in the ability to take and control land, and you have it. Basically, Mount and Blade in Europe. That would be heavy...Quote:

My idea of a perfect computer game is a mixture of Total War and KOEI's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I like the battles in Total War, and I like the distinctive characters of each generals in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You can do one on one fights between generals in RTK too.

Being able to design and build city walls, fortifications.
Design your own troops, eg heavy inf with crossbows, mixed squads, ships with marines
being able to train and assign officers and NCO's
More diplomacy
Damn good naval battles, not like Pirates
In FPS mode, being able to split your squads and give orders
Well, I don't like Romans :-PQuote:

and something else, more details on castles. like when you're attacking a castle, the dojo's in it should be visible and destroyable. add the ability of the nature to be on fire at the battlefield but also these buildings etc. more details about the battles.... the map should really be in shape of the region, and anything of buildings that are in it should be visible.

Ooh ooh! I've got it! A Warhammer 40k MMOFPS!
Just imagine it: You're a soldier in a space marine/chaos/eldar/ork unit taking part in an invasion of a certain planet. Unfortunately, shortly after you land, a warp storm or whatever the hell you call those things overcasts the planet and you can neither call in reinforcements nor leave the planet. You're completely cut off and have to make do with what you have. The game would rely extremely heavily on squad-based tactical PVP, but would have a few quests to create a context behind the fighting. At the end of the last quest the warp storm subsides and you are able to board transport ships, and once you get on, you have the option of switching to another server (called "planets" in game, so essentially you're flying to a different planet).
Something involving a full VR body suit, that way you'd be fully immersed in the game. Then a brand new all improved singing & dancing NWN2, JA2, or KOTR.
Oh & a RTW version as mentioned in a previouse thread that you could rp in as a unit commander.
Mine would be a game described in a book called Complicity by Iain Banks. The game is Despot, and is clearly based on the Civilization concept, but the description of it sounds like a much deeper and more interesting game. It is a bit hard to describe if you haven't read the book, but think Civ on steroids, real time instead of TBS, more than decent AI and your view and abilities restricted depending on whether you have risen to ruler of the empire or are still a subject king, nobleman or other.
