Just out off curiosity (and to sell your responses to game companies :evil: ), what do you all want to see in a game?
:q:

usability and deep story kinda like my favorite game dungeon seige with keyboar shortcuts and a pretty good storyline except for the whiole poor guy vs. big anceint evil. But that game you can do lots of stuff and it all kinda flows too no wandering 6 miles into a cave for a dumb ring and have to walk back 12 miles to give it to a person there is always a second exit that goes somewhere else(other words no backtracking).

For me - total freedom.
I want to play a game that features Halo or Half-Life like weapons with portions of the game taking place in city-scenes where I have the total freedom to hide inside any building seen in the area. If I’m being chased by some weird alien, I want to be able to spot a random building (not the one building the devs. think would be a good spot), run into it via the front door, climb the stairs, and snipe from some family’s dining room window!
Also, I like to see games featuring a lot of normal, non-combatant units. I don’t mean the usual 3d models that move in random directions or are repeated a million times like in Half Life, but I want to see realistic…computer people with different looks who have some definite place they want to go.
I guess I am looking for something like GTA + Halo + Far Cry combined into one game with HL2-like city graphics 🙂

Man you have a good idea of a great game kirupa, I’d say mine would be similar.
But honestly, my biggest dream game, would be a Gran Turismo type of racer. With everycar, every make, and for it to be extremely realistic. I mean you could tune pistons and flywheels, and exchanging cam shafts, adjusting camber, etc etc. And would have every type of car sport to be played. Man that would be my dream game, and it seems that need for speed and Gran Turismo are getting up to it.

Get some swordplay/kung fu action in there also.

It’s like you took the words right out of my mouth… that would be awesome but at the same time very difficult to achieve. I wonder how long it would take to make such a videogame… oh yes, and it would have to have **Online Play**!!!

Yeah! Online play would be really nice. If I wanted to, I could choose be some random spectator walking my dog while watching someone else blasting aliens just around the corner.
I think such freedom will take a while to achieve. Each person doing random things will kill any CPU. Each person having their own AI in a realistic world would be really tough to achieve for now. Maybe in a few years though 🙂
Today’s games are getting more realistic. I’m willing to be that Half Life 3 or Half Life 4 may offer Gordon Freeman more freedom to break down a lampost, deform the garbage can, etc.
A combination of Sim City, Sims, and Half-Life 2 will also work haha 😛

Lol, that would be amazing!
Just combine every genre of videogames.
After I get done rescuing the hostages in a S.W.A.T.-like mission I jump into my Ferrari and race some guy in a Lamborghini… a game like this would have no real story line, I guess it would be like the Sims. Eventually this will be possible, sooner than later I hope.

the matrix online game sums it up for me 🙂
also though, to be able to move like i want to - for example execute a kung fu move like i would if i were in their situation - a specific combo, a way to jump, etc.

pr…
Well I’ll be damed. That’s so awsome you play man, and darn nice score bro. We should definetly hook up sometime eh? I’m way better at counterstrike, but I could never turn away from the specialists.
But I haven’t heard to much about clans in that game, I was mostly a loner 😛
But hey, I’ll try to PM/AIM you sometime so we can play!
EDIT : 350z, I posted the same idea, I would love that kind of game!

its a great game, although i disagree with some things in version 2…
any rate their website forums - some of the best players post in there, you can familiarize yourself with their names and look for them in the servers…some awesome players out there 🙂

They removed the superjump-starting powerup!
_sniff_
My favourite mod, and after that comes SvenCoop.
Oh, and about the topic: My favourite game doesn’t necessarily pits you in a super-freedom reign world, because such worlds are annoying. You have to go pee, you have to eat three times a day, you have to do stuff you really want to FORGET ABOUT when you play a video game. When’s the last time Gordon Freeman stopped blasting hordes of grunts and aliens TO GET SOME SLEEP OR WALK HIS DOG?! Of course, a realistic fps-kinda world is a good idea, but the premise forces people to do tamagochi- or sim-like operations every X time period. So you can’t go and rob a bank and barricade for 32 hours without food.
I complain, but you’ll see…
I’d like to play, ironically, is such an open-ended game/universe, in the style of Shadowrun (anyone plays that pen-and-paper RPG?). You’d get runs, double crosses, bank robs, car chases, matrix hacking, and so on…And of course you’d be able to lie low when the heat’s too high.
I see it as a single player game, but cooperative play would be possible. Or even, in some sort of MMORPG server with lots of citizen npcs, gang members, and just generic Lone Star representatives, multiplay with multiple teams pitted against greater odds (wheter npc’s or the teams against each other). Say two different Johnsons tell two different teams to go rob the same bank, well then it’s the cop npcs vs team1 vs team2.
Yeah. Of course to understand what I’m blabbering about you have to know the universe…O\_o

I’d like to see some old school side scrolling. I am a huge fan of older games. I was hoping that that XBOX ‘Oddword: Munch’s Oddysey’ would be a sidescroller like the first two, as I really liked those. Great graphics, interesting gameplay, puzzles, and awesome humour.
A new 2D Mario is just what this generation needs (and not a remake on the GBA!)
