After seeing Cloverfield and Quarantine I was thinking how awesome it would be to have a videogame where the player sees through the eyes of a camera being carried around, trying to survive some sort of attack whether its monsters or zombies.
To attack the player could use the camera to hit enemies or the camera would have to be dropped where you control the character but can only see him thru the camera after it was dropped, so right before you attack something you have to place the camera in an adequate spot which would raise the intensity a ton.
You could also get points like in dead rising where you film something that is dramatic and important in real time. To make it so players don't attack with the camera too often you would make sure that blood would splatter on the screen or cracks and that would make the camera break eventually.
Could this idea work if the right developers do it?
