Space Voyager Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Suddenly it hit me what an easy job it would be right now to come up with a concept. Nuts? Well. Take XCOM:EU and redo the tactical missions into a squad based FPS. Voila! Still nuts? Explain!!111!11!111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This all really comes down to you wanting to be shot, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencer_pl Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 If you will follow how Full Spectrum Warrior was made - that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunflash Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Still say do a modern make of Republic Commando with XCom theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 My brother and I came up with a cool idea before Interceptor came out about how you could have the micro management of bases, with FPS for some of the gameplay (a la X-COM Alliance) and big dogfights in space in the vein of X-Wing. Too many genres in one game? No, devs just aren't thinking big enough - it would be awesome And yes, we did find it a bit spooky, and ultimately disappointing, that both of those genres came to pass (in the case of Alliance it never quite came to fruition) after we'd had lengthy discussions about it back in the day. If only we'd been as hardcore as Jake and actually took up game design and followed that dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Whilst I do have the years left, I don't think I've got the skill or the patience for it sadly I'd be too worried about any game I worked on getting canned after several years of work. I worry too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Funny Pete, me and my older brother had very similar talks, but since then he grew up. I never will. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKF Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Print a reasonably large photo of arms sticking out the corner of a photo frame with a gun pointing away and tape it to the bottom of your monitor. There, anything on your screen will become a FPS, even Microsoft Excel! You've got to supply your own sound effects for some games though. After seeing a tv thingy on Call of Duty while channel surfing the other day, I got my first look at that game. Didn't think much of it at all. A bit off as I used to play games like the Doom series, Hexen and Quake almost religiously between the X-Com games, but these days I find them so passé. Having a right hand for an avatar does get a bit boring after a while! - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
