@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 If they could ever make 3D games look real, like an image I saw that was supposedly rendered in DX10, I may start to like 3D just as much as 2D games. I still favor 2D. DX 10 is pretty close to photorealistic... But that said, 2D as in IE games are really just 3D rendered images. So it's 3D artwork all the same, and technology is fairly close to be capible of doing such in real time. So... 2D really has nothing to offer. "I'm a programmer at a games company...

Andrew Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 A good Steampunk game would be nice... Like Rise of Legends, just without Lawrence of Arabia and the Jaffa coming in to crash the party. But the massive towers of steam, dirigibles, popguns, Clockwork machinations and so forth would be extremly interesting to play with in an RPGish setting. I agree. China Mieville's Bas-Lag setting from Perdido Street Station would be particularly cool. Dragon Magazine just had a big spread on adapting it to d20 a couple issues ago, but there's no reason why it would have to follow that system - I think it would work rather well with SPECIAL or somethng more GURPS-like as well.

Volourn Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Buffyverse is the best idea thus far in this thread thus far. By chance, it also happens to be my suggestion. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hmm, so noone fell for my caRPG idea, eh? Well, at least I'm seeing some ideas that doesn't involve just taking the same tired game mechanics (kill, kill and .. oh, thats right: KILL!!!) in a slightly new setting. I don't think you'd ever have to kill anyone in a caRPG.. except if you base it on Death Race 2000 (best movie ever!). Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

If you have NWN there is an excellent adaption to it.

astr0creep Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I loved Battlezone 2 because it mixed FPS with vehicular combat and RTS in a really great way. I would LOVE to see these concepts applied to a Battlestar Galactica game. Instead of various hovertanks you'd have Vipers, Raptors and Raiders. Planning constructions and assaults in the CIC and then jumping in a Viper to execute the plan.

Barzarel Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 More anti liniar gaming, with less direction more contents in general and choices possible to make, in other worlds more dynamic games, that can be replayed and have fun with more than 2 times. I must admit for a long time now i had hoped it would come with mmorpgs but really not much out there that isnt a fixed storyline with a mass crowding herd leading to somewhere. Its mostly what i miss since pen and paper adventures stopped for me, its much in gaming industry is focused on a specific story and around the story, rather than the players, at least it how it often feels, i always respected Obsidian for giving alot of options in their games, however i still feel its possible to make things even better, but sadly i doubt theres a big enough marked for it now a days seeing as everything is turning mainstream not matter what it is...
