what does your dream game look like, /v/?

>>713149076 (OP)
and here's the template

>>713149076 (OP)
Too lazy to edit it myself but my dream game is BF2142 sequel with Titanfall movement

>Project Zomboid
>Half-Life
>Resident Evil Outbreak

Zombie apocalypse game that takes place mid-outbreak, where you have to work with friends to find an escape. You play through different scenarios (stuck in the middle of the city, trapped in a hospital, barricaded in a mall, etc) with different methods of escaping based on what you find while working with others. Maybe you can find keys to a military truck, but have to fight through a horde down in the parking garage. Maybe you find a way to radio an escape helicopter, but you have to gather a certain amount of valuables for the pilot to believe it's worth risking. Maybe you get enough weapons together to outright fight through to the city's outskirts.

Gameplay would be detailed scavenging, building up your character, and fighting off zombies. Over time the environment would change, making for more mutated undead variants, issues like the power going off or rogue military sweeping through, or an outright storm kicking up that would make it hard to hear zombies or navigate the streets. The environments would be made with multiple ways to get through them (vents, keys to be found, breakable doors).

I basically just want an ideal, perfect version of RE Outbreak honestly. I always loved that game in concept, but actually playing it was a mess.

>>713149076 (OP)
that's some good taste OP.

when I was a kid, my friend and I liked Star Wars Battlefront and RTS games.
We had this conversation about a game where players could command soldiers from an RTS point of view, manage logistics and all of that, and then you could switch to playing the game from an infantry perspective.
I think there was a game that had something like this, Battlefield 2145 or something like that, but from what I read about it it didn't seem like the RTS side of things was robust.

It's still a cool idea to me, but it's the kind of thing that probably wouldn't appeal to anybody these days.

>>713149076 (OP)
I don't get it. Those are a lot of conflicting styles and ideas.

>>713149712
sounds neat.
>>713149752
thank you.
>>713150043
yes. here's my second dream game, hopefully a little bit more digestible for a simple mind.
>>713149976
you might like mount and blade, it is sort of an RTS that lets you take the reigns of the soldiers in your units.

>>713150206
>you might like mount and blade, it is sort of an RTS that lets you take the reigns of the soldiers in your units.
Yea I've had my eye on Mount and Blade. Kenshi as well. Planetside.
But none of these are really what we were envisioning.
The key thing is having hundreds of AI units.
So there's always a huge battle going on. The "commander" player can try to control the flow of the battle by giving orders to the AI troops, dropping in supplies, vehicles, and more troops, etc., but it'd also have to be a solid FPS shooter. So heroics from an infantry player would also turn the tide of a battle.
And then the idea would be that you could swap these roles at any time, and infantry players could communicate and coordinate with the commander player.

The spirit of the conversation my friend and I were having were we were trying to imagine how cool videogames were going to be 10 years in the future, so it's bitter sweet to remember.

this is some other anon's from a previous thread that i thought was neat.
>>713150737
sounds neat. still not what you are looking for, but you might want to try kunitsugami as well.

>>713149976
>>713150737
TABS and similar games like Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator are like 60-70% of what you're asking but they're more like battle simulators where you can take control of single units whenever you want

i got another one.
film noir style RPG. combat is derived mostly from bravely default, with some more turn planning/shenanigans like in sands of destruction (or FFX) with some of the combo stuff from sands of destruction. tie in some light tactical RPG elements like from devil survivor, some map making like from etrian odyssey, bullets in battle like in wild arms, and some VN elements of devil survivor and ace attorney.
looks like if urasawa made a film noir inspired look, but with some coffee stain art for extra flavour.

>no "and it sounds like..."
ya fucked up

>>713153148
i didn't make it, i just saved it from when another anon posted it. while not a bad idea, it is less immediately graspable.
plus, it is hard enough to motivate /v/ to make any OC these days or do anything that isn't posting a twitter screencap. adding another section to fill out makes it less likely that people will contribute.

>no one wants to contribute
what happened to this site?

>>713149076 (OP)
>it’s like
E.Y.E
>mixed with
SMT IV
>and a little bit of
Deja Ex, Nocturne, F.E.A.R, and Disco Elysium

>>713153051

>film noir
>blame
wtf

>>713155475
E.Y.E and blame for the occasional huge eerie empty area

>>713155549
I know I just
I spent like an hour making a collage with film noir, blame, giger etc.

>>713149712
sounds fun, have you played raw danger?
>>713150206
this would be funny

>>713155594
I think it’s a natural fit. Creates a contrast between overcrowded and abandoned areas that heightens tension and awe

>>713155684
Yes it's a natural fit.
I'm just more slightly spooked by the wavelength anons are on.
Like we all simultaneously posted about wanting occult/film noir/blame inspired stuff

>>713155885
i posted the film noir RPG chart. i almost added some occult stuff and some blade runner sci fi stuff because that's a natural fit for RPGs and also i love SMT. but i figured to leave it out because people called my first chart (OP) confusing. it's a perfect aesthetic that is a key to cult success. stuff like EYE and SMT are well loved.

I have a very autistically precise vision for what i want, and i know it will never be made :3

>>713156892
>>713157163
i like both of you and would play your games.

>>713157789
Thanks anon, mine came mostly from the fact that I want a XCOM/Wasteland-like game with deep customization in an anime art style. Also helps that I find gun combat in CRPG much more satisfying than sword and sorcery.

>>713149076 (OP)
got a handful of these

>>713149076 (OP)
I have autistic fantasies about an ultra videogame that combines all the open worlds ever made into one super massive world, separated by gigantic oceans. It would be a second life-style MMO where no fast travel is allowed, and you have to plan trips like IRL if you want to meet up with other players. Also, the graphics would be fully pathtraced, with appropriate physics on everything, and can be played in VR. There'll even be a new type of VR headset that allows you to sleep in it, so that you can camp in virtual worlds every night in max comfy mode. Imagine napping under the Hyrule stars one night, or Mira from XCX the next. Or even simulate a penthouse in a GTA world.

hmm...blight

demon's souls
labyrinth Of The Demon King

I'm not going to make an edit but it's something like this:

>Mahjong MMORPG
>You run around an online version of Shinjuku and you go into different Mahjong parlors
>Parlors are owned by players and they can have their own rules
>Manage your bankroll by beating people in Mahjong, buy clothes and accessories for your character with that bankroll and eventually open up your own parlor.
>Manage your parlor like in a business tycoon game and have it compete with other parlors

The style should be cell shaded and chibi style characters

>>713158602
>signalis
I knew someone was going to say it looks like Signalis.
It does, but my tastes slightly don't align with Signalis, and the most important thing is I want it to play like Quake.

>>713158841
So Shadow tower 1?

>>713158761
that's fair and I definitely feel you on being very particular on an aesthetic/setting in order for it to click, I'm the same way

>>713158464
Mecha fantasy vidya really need to be explored. Hell I'll even take a mission format like Monster Hunter and Armored Core.

>>713149076 (OP)
>these are the failed 40 year old normalfags shitting up the board

>>713159046
nah it needs guns. if anything it's basically just Abyss except actually finished

>>713158602
based 00s urban decay enjoyer, would play the shit out of this. check out Urban Reign

>>713156892
neat. I know it's a common in-joke that underwater levels suck in vidya, but I'd love a Zelda or Metroid game that takes place entirely underwater

>>713149076 (OP)
Deus ex is from 2000 yet it's 100000 better than 99% of the slop released nowadays. That's pretty sad.

>>713159268
>based 00s urban decay enjoyer
I see you there steampunk chad. Indeed.
>check out urban reign
nearly beat it in 2006 lol

I can recommend dishonored 1, thief 2, sinking city, necrovision (fast'ish paced ww1 horror), there is also a new game "clockwork" ? that looks to be right up your alley aesthetically

Can these "it looks like [insert traditional drawing]" even be achieved considering there are so few modern games that use traditional art instead of digital art?

>>713158841
>>713158990
>>713159268
i saved these from previous threads. great ideas. particularly "wizard outlaws in a steampunk setting". seems great.
>>713158602
doesn't seem up my alley, but i can appreciate that.
play dying light.
>>713158464
i wish it were real. dunbine or escaflowne as a game.

>>713157789
fuck yeag ty anon ^^
>>713159268
for sure !! I'm a massive autist for oldschool dungeon crawlers and I imagined a lot of the traps like auto-walk and spinning cels from strange journey would be easily re-contextualized to be underwater mechanics too (water currents, whirlpools e.c.t.), plus a ton of atmospheric autism stuff for underwater settings that I dont think get explored often enough in games :D

your concept looks fresh as hell too, i can almost imagine it being similar to the order 1886 except not shit :D
>>713158990
some real fucken kino here desu, we need more alien desert settings and cultures in media desu

>>713159219
we used to have threads like this all the time back in the day. what do you think this board is for, fomenting tortanics? kill yourself.
>>713159874
it's more just like examples as if you were an art director giving direction as to what things should look similar to. at least how i see it.

>>713149076 (OP)
I still dream of a GTA clone set in my hometown during roaring 90s with skinheads, antifa, islamists and government mafia serving as gangs like in San Andreas or GTA2.

>>713158602
Fortune's Run

>>713149076 (OP)
none of these mesh together
>linear action game mixed with open world JRPG
>also 3 western RPG's (2 of which are also very linear), a samurai game, a walking simulator, and a physics autism game
>sci-fi, space sci-fi, medieval fantasy, mecha, magic, corporate espionage

>>713162030
>none of these mesh together
you just don't see the vision.
>sci-fi, space sci-fi, medieval fantasy, mecha, magic, corporate espionage
how can this not work?

I got lazy.

>>713162091
>how can this not work?
how can you create a cohesive narrative with all these conflicting settings?

>>713162398
Hamtarochad...

>>713162430
I'm a sucker for clashing tones in narratives. Cutesy, innocent, and whimsical settings tainted with darkness, suffering, and torment for one reason or another.
I just want an excuse to see adorable characters fighting horrible nightmare creatures.

>>713162401
>how can you create a cohesive narrative with all these conflicting settings?
how are they conflicting? final fantasy combines everything you listed fairly well. lots of other popular stories combine these things, star wars for instance. there is nothing incongruent about high technology fantasy (wouldn't call it sci-fi, that is reserved for a different kind of narrative). also, nowhere in my image does it show magic.

underage panty quest

>>713162401
NTA but Ultima got its start doing specifically that. It didn't become pure medieval fantasy until 4.
There is not such thing as shitty ideas. Only shitty execution.

>>713162661
fair enough. i just dont really like sci-fi fantasy, especially if its star wars
isnt final fantasy steampunk?

>>713162398
>>713162508
patrician taste. gobli prin has some cool art like that

>>713158990
Pretty gud taste m8, dying earth is woefully underrepresented in vidya for some reason

>>713163445
>isnt final fantasy steampunk?
different FF games are different. earlier games are just sward and sorcery. FFVI is a world where magic is long gone, tech (kind of steampunkish) has been the dominant force and magic is being returned to the world (mostly by evil forces). FFVII is magic and scifi tech. FFVIII is that but more. FFX is almost an inverse of VI, magic is the dominant force and robotics users are shunned as heretics of the church. but most FF games have some blend of high technology and magical elements.
>i just dont really like sci-fi fantasy, especially if its star wars
most things that are called "sci-fi" are just high tech fantasy. the term has been muddied by marketers and people who don't know what they are talking about.

>>713162398
seems neat. you ever hear of small saga? seems like it might be up your alley.

here's another saved one

>>713165481
Vagrant Story springs to mind

another saved one

>>713149076 (OP)
Unironically Minecraft and Fortnite.
You could have a base game like minecraft which allows you to build with a limited pallet of blocks. You'd only be allowed to place so many blocks before having to wait for your already placed blocks to be destroyed.
And you could have it be a battle royal shooter which actually includes building forts, which fortnite fails to do since people just build as a means to a quick advantage of height nowadays

>>713168252
Why don't you play ark or rust or a number of other survival games? You can even get a private server and mod it so drop rates and such are closer to your ideal.

>>713156214
DK1 was better.

>>713158990
Now that's something I would actually pay for.
