So, anyone have any ideas for games that companies should make?

Mine is a Star Trek RPG using the Skies of Arcadia engine. Imagine how much cooler the ship battles would be if they were Star Trek-style space battles. The dungeon engine could be used for away missions, and the world map would be scrapped, since you'd just be able to plot a course to any planet you wanted to.

The world needs a game in which the protagonist whacks his enemies with a keyboard. Special moves (such as using the keyboard to spray one's enemies with Flames, or the deadly Scroll Away) could require ingestion of increasingly exotic and potent varieties of coffee! Or maybe not.

Verily, it is difficult to top TheRedEye's suggestion from http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18511 .


I call it The Real Adventures of Ben Franklin. It mostly involves Ben Franklin defending the 13 colonies against space aliens, using the machine gun he invented in his garage. Which he also invented.

It's like Contra, but during the founding days of the United States of America. The plot gets pretty crazy, after a while you have to invent a time machine and gather the Heroes of History (William Shatner, Albert Einstein, and the 1979 Chicago Bears) to battle Satan during the end of the universe.

Can someone PLEASE get me a staff? I have way too many good ideas for games.

They had a similar game idea with oddworld and that game where your an angel, but in mine you are an ancient lifeform that inhabits human bodies

"Theres a couple movies with similar Religious/alien plotlines"

And use them to cause chaos. So you can just jump in some lawyer or Diner waitress and have him/her cruise through the city picking up whores and drinking vodka then knocking over a gas station. Eventually the cops would get after you and chases ala GTA would happen and when you finally die you transfer to the last person you touched like the Whore or EMS worker and begin again.

I cant really think of a goal or plot to it but damn with the right controls and good graphics etc. it could be cool.

Actually, that sounds vaguely like Omikron or Messiah.

I have two similar ideas for a game.

One would be somewhat similar to Iron Giant, just a boy and his hulking robot. The closest thing I can think of now would be Robot Alchemic Drive, but that's not really what I have in mind. Just a really cool action/adventure game that's easy to pick up and control, but a blast to replay over and over.

The other idea would be a boy and his dog, maybe lost in the wilderness or something and you have to find your way back.


The closest thing I can think of at this point in gaming that echoes those two ideas is Ico, but I still think my ideas would yield a better game :D.

This need of which you speak has been met. It's not a game, per se, but there is a protagonist out there with a keyboard and the willingness to use it in a physically violent manner (link) (http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/08/06/154827.html).

My game idea - one I've been laboriously and secretly coding on for years - is "Extreme Arena Hentai Jai-Alai". Right now I'm re-writing it from a straightforward jai-alai match to something of a card-based battle system, since that seems to be the trend these days.

(parody - not meant to be taken seriously)

i'd like to see a game where you feed it roms, and then it renders them in a 3d enviroment.
