predator rpg?

 

I seriously think my brain just popped.

 

you just named some movies you liked and asked for them in rpg form. thats not new, nor is it a good idea. why not let developers make games from the heart instead of movie licenses?

 

remember fallout? remember how cool and original it felt? Planescape: Torment?

 

settings i'd like to see: any setting done with consistency, style, and care.

I want an RPG where you play the role of a sidekick/henchman. let the NPC Hero run around like an idiot gathering and turning quests in, and we'll just stick to saving the world.

 

or a modern-day RPG without big corporations and shadow governments, something simple like being a police officer or a paramedic.

[Oner]

Matrix Online, Aliens was canned, there's Dead State for a ZRPG.

 

Still hoping for a Dark Heresy game someday.

trust me, its not very exciting in real life.

 

unless you mean you are a lawyer who must do non-lawyerly things, but if you're talking waking up and going to work and drafting legal documents and handling phone calls from cranky clients and opposing counsel who are acting like jerks then forget it, I get enough of that already.

 

I could see a game like heavy rain working though, basically if Michael Clayton was an adventure game or something.

Edit: Sorry I didn't realise I'd get a reply that quickly. The idea I posted was a non-violent sitcom RPG, the game being a season's worth of something like Spin City where your choices, relationships with other characters, successes and failures would impact the world and the ending.

it would have to be written incredibly well to hold interest. I could see something like that working eventually, but not yet. I'm sure a lot of people would have fun playing The Office: RPG where you try to reign in michael scott and help the company succeed, but it would only work if the game was actually as entertaining as watching the show.

 

(i dont care if you dont like the office, this is simply an example)

I was thinking more along the lines of courtroom persuasion/moral choices.

[Syraxis]

Not enough steampunk/high fantasy titles in the spirit of Arcanum, or not to my knowledge.

I want more rpg's (or any games, really) where I play the bad guy who wants to take over/invade the world, or destroy the world, instead of the heroic schmuck who is always trying to save the world from some demon. I want to BE the demon...or the demon's henchman, or something.

 

Sure the game mechanics would be similar/the same - quests, npc's, battles blah blah - but the setting would be different. Lots of opportunities for black humor, too.

[GhostofAnakin]

There should be more RPGs set in the Star Wars universe. Specifically, one that follows up on KOTOR II ...

[Whipporwill]

Screw Star Wars. Too much Star Wars crap on the market already. Let's have some original ... Oh, who am I kidding. No one wants original ideas. Publishers won't fund them and gamers won't buy them. It's all about franchises and milking the morons.

 

What's the Final Fantasy count at now? Thirteen?

[Bos_hybrid]

Any sort of horror RPG. A who done it? Cop/Murder RPG would be different.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney does the whole lawyer genre pretty great. It's more of an adventure game, but really, it works very well.

The Warhammer 40000 setting was made for people like you

 

Too many WH40K action games an no crpgs whatsoever currently around.

It's actually not that bad, I think we've only had one or two similar threads.

 

As for me, I'd like something set in the 1920s.

Following up on that lawyer idea, you would ideally base that kind of thing on the gameplay of, say, the old KOEI game Uncharted Waters, or similarly, Sid Meier's Pirates! - a set of gameplay elements to manage and build up your particular business, make rivals, meet people, collect cool things, etc. Then we have stuff like that on the sim-like side of the spectrum, school sim/RPGs and the like.

 

I want a properly done Dickensian English boarding school RPG, if we're going down that path. Hell, you could start off at one of those, then get fast-tracked on to a French penal colony in that period, which is remarkably similar... throw in some Kafka references.

It would be cool if you charged an exorbitant, made-up-off-the-top-of-your-head rate for every hour you played the game

[MacMichael]

Something Film Noir would be interesting.

[Purkake]

The best lawyer game you're going to get is Phoenix Wright, and it's awesome.

LA Noire is pretty much that, minus the RPG part.

Yes. Cthulhu not optional.

[Purkake]

That goes without saying.

 

Think of all the moral choices and whatnot.
