games you want to see made?

**ken foree** · 13/05/2005, 3:03 PM

how have they not made a Thor game yet? i mean with the hammer, come on. it's a cert. you could fling it around and smash cars and trolls while bashing across manhattan and the countryside of asgard. you would fly a bit and blast things with norse lightning. you could swing the hammer in that circle he does. fin fang foom as the dragon end boss, a huge level unto himself. beat the game and you can unlock odin, i dunno.

same with silver surfer..

it's so easy! but they'll never make them until there's a weak movie to go along with it. lame!

sad post i know

a GAA sim so various GAA loving newspapers will stop reprinting the article from 1999 about someone modding an Aussie Rules game into a GAA game.

a gaa game would be great, but unfortunately i dont think it would be viable.

when im a millionaire ill invest in a company to make it.

Bobble Bobble for PS2

**tiktok** · 16/05/2005, 1:43 PM

I assume a fantastic four game will be in the pipeline with the film on the way.

Otherwise, tetris and frogger would do me

**paul_oshea** · 16/05/2005, 1:47 PM

dublin harp dont ye mean

bubble bobble!!!

i have downloaded all those classics for the computer.

does anyone remember a level on some game ( the game i am trying to remember ) where you are underwater and at the end you have to fight an octupus, it was in an enclosed sort of room, quite small and i think the octupus used to fire orange fire type balls out of its lenticles??? can anyone tell me that game?

i think someone should make a tea-making sim...

ya know, start out on you basic cup of tea, before progressing on to cappucinos and mochas..

if your cup fails to meet the approval of an audience of seven 80 year old grannies then you go back to the start of the level..

They made Blade Runner which was pretty cool, so along that vein, I'd like to see:

Dr Who (with a very decent script, none of this shallow Doom style gaming)

Another few very difficult Sherlock Holmes games

In the style of GTA San Andreas, Corruption: Become an Irish Politician.

Another Indiana Jones game

Back to the Future

i have BTTF 3 on the megadrive... it's terrible, the first level you're on a horse and it's unbeliveably hard, you have to jump over logs and duck to avoid birds as you try to save clara from falling into the ravine... you have to hit the jump button at exactly the right time or else you lose a life and you have to go back to the start.. you've three lives and it's game over.. i've played it twice i reckon

**ken foree** · 16/05/2005, 3:17 PM

bloody christ i'd play a good gaa hurling or football sim all day long. likewise an engaging dr. who game. perhaps some levels would be 1st person shooter, you could be a rebel soldier of sorts and defeat the daleks with a rifle (and by climbing stairs) or grenades or whatever the hell. yea there's loads of material there. time-hopping, infuriating logic puzzles to unlock the master's tardis - hmm okay better stop here, getting a bit geeked

.

an FF game might be better than the (bad-looking) film...

**GavinZac** · 16/05/2005, 3:32 PM

that GAA game project was actually being made by the fans themselves, by altering small bits of the Aussie Rules game, in much the same way that Counter-strike and EHLM (a hockey game based on the champ manager engine) started off.

any GAA fans who know java and could design jerseys, game environment, etc. could do it, i think the aussie rules game was open source.

seriously on games i want to see made: im not telling ye. i plan on being a game developer, and im noting your responses like a good marketing student

i'll make it for you in exchange for �10 and 5% of all profits.

I'd prefer Doctor Who to be in the style of grand theft auto in that you walk around etc etc. I don't really like Doom style games as they grow tiresome fast!!

The Back to the Future game could be far greater potential than the Amiga game, seeing as it had around 64k of ram to muck round with

yea, for the majority of the who game i agree with you - 3rd person perspective. how else could we appreciate the true gargantuan length of tom baker's...

scarf. jaysis you could have regenerations and leela in that lionskin. but i'd still like a little bit of it to be 1st person, some blow-up action vs. cybermen/daleks. they could even make it purposefully cheezy, effects-wise. could do without mccoy though..

I'll give you a first person dalek area!!

Ha do you remember the game Alone in the Dark?

**ken foree** · 16/05/2005, 4:02 PM

another game i've been hankering after. something called eg. 'center forward' based on eng. league football circa 1970s. mutton-chop sideburns and desperately muddy fields. huge tackles, period advertising on the hoardings, and realistic fan violence

.

the game would be intensely physical but without the gimmicry of these modern day action-style football games. shoulder buttons would SHOULDER(!) the opposition off the ball, aerial attacks would abound and heading would assume an all-new importance. you could hoof it long at which point the 'camera' (i think side-view) would slide up the field to the area the ball was aimed for, and you would jostle for position, hold, shoulder, and jump as the ball approachedand dropped. heading would be ace, you could skim it on, knock it down back or laterally, loop it towards goal. all the while sporting the greatest mullet in gaming history! are you taking notes, readers.

gavin, i know java quite well i.e. its my job. the games wouldnt up to much i..e powerful wise. even using the 3d engine its very limited, is there any demo of these aussie rule games.
