lol yeah that last part was a joke. At least I didn't say follow through on Hilter's original plan or something REALLY bad.

i'm not really a RTS fan, but this could get me there. gameplay over graphic's? your halfway on your way.

well think if wht every shooter did that? hey it's better then the alternative!

did you try pressing undo while reposting? it works sometimes.

hmmmm, well im tired at the moment so ill be back with a cooler idea later (maybe)....so here is a random idea i thought up awhile ago:

squirrel:

you play as a squirrel from life to death (sort of). you make your own squirrel(species decides starting point). as you move through life moving from tree to tree, building to building, trying to survive, you have to become leading squirrel in the area. you find homes, look for food (especially hard in the winter), and avoid death through fighting or running....you also have to mate(but we'll get to that later ;D...) eventually you do enough "quests"(accepted from other friendly animals) and defeat enough enemies(rival squirrels, cats, ect.), you become leader of your own clan of squirrels. as you continue to take over other clans and expand, you'll gain more prestige. the game combines action(fighting, running away, stealth), platforming(...its a game about squirrels...) and some sim elements which comes along when you become leader of you clan(ordering squirrels to do stuff like find food or fight enemies). the game takes place in a forest set right near some farms and a suburban town. the town is attached to a highway which goes to a big city, so there is a pretty big game world to explore and try to become top squirrel in.

its pretty big and im thinking about taking out the whole clan thing...but then whats the point other than being a squirrel? i dont know, what do you guys think?

Thanks, you can pre-order now! lolol

cool i'm there

Just came up with an awesome idea (IMO).

Here's the premise: Take the classic 2d beat 'em up genre seen in games like Fatal Fury, Streets of Rage, Castle Crashers, and Scott Pilgrim. From there, infuse all the elements of modern 3d action games like DMC, Ninja Gaiden, GoW, and Bayonetta into the game. In other words, upgradeable weapons/skills, sick combos, all the stuff that makes killing (or beating up) people look cool.

Throw in some co-op and double-team abilities and I think you've got a winner.

It's called River City Ransom, it was made in 1989, and it inspired the Scott Pilgrim comic book and the game!  It just has sick special moves instead of sick combos.  But it's practically a beat-'em-up/RPG, with leveling, upgradeable stats that you can choose how to upgrade, skills you can learn, and items you can collect.  Any weapon or enemy you can pick up and throw at another enemy or off a cliff, or you can beat an enemy to death with his own henchman.  It even has passwords so you can save all your character stats and come back later.  You could save your character's stats and I could save mine, so we could play co-op later.  But this was back on the NES, so the passwords were crazy long walls of alphanumerics.

Game's by Technos.  They made it right after Double Dragon.  It's on the Virtual Console.  It's probably my favorite NES game, or at least in the top 3.

But yes, that's STILL an awesome idea.  I don't know why we don't have any more games like that.  I've been waiting 21 years... and counting... you could do so much more with the genre now... make it 4 player co-op, throw in some vehicles.  There was a sequel that was only in Japan, that took place in feudal Japan.  You could pick up a rickshaw, and I could jump on it, and then you could beat somebody to death with the rickshaw while I'm still standing on top of it and throwing weapons, or punching and kicking, or jumpkicking off of it.  Or you could just roll me around in a rickshaw.  If they threw in bikes, skateboards, jetpacks, volcanoes, cars with spikes and guns, and just upgraded the combat to have combos, it would probably be the best game ever.  It's almost too easy to make a game that awesome, but I guess devs want to challenge themselves by trying to make nazis and aliens new and hip and interesting...
