Ever since I've became intrested in American Football, and cheering on the Carolina Panthers, I thought about an NFL Game that would rock. It would be like Madden NFL with EA Sport, however you get to create your own teams, make your own rosters (from either exisiting players or recruits) and you get to play against other teams online. You would either be the coach or QB in the game. I just think that would be cool to play, I know I would play it. So, how about yall, what are some of the games yall would like to see?

I thought you could create your own teams in Madden. But then, I don't play Madden, I play NCAA, and you can definately do it in NCAA 2004 at least. It's been a while since I bought any console games.

Can you play your team online with other players created team? Also, I would need the PC verison.

I'd like to see a new colony wars game with the choice of failure in the old games missions which I‘ve always loved (though the movies would still be the same because they don’t need improvement)

too bad they stopped making the games years ago:(

also I wouldn't mind some new super scary game that’s extremely hard to complete no need for any new plot just do it about a group of friends who’s car breaks down in a deserted area they suddenly encounter “people”….

Colony Wars was the best! I had the original version for the PS1. The only game that I now regret selling.

Spore, Pirates! 2, even better Alpha Centurai 2, Civ V, Sim City V... it's not that i have no imagination it's just that those are just the kind of game i'm looking for.

I just asked a friend who has the XBox version and he says you can't. I don't know about the PC version.

damn. Eh it's basketball anyways, not really a basketball fan, more of an American football fan.

I myself have no idea why they stopped making them :(

edit: and the original one was the most awesome game ever!!!!

We need to start a Colony Wars revival.

*whisper* follow the money.

I would like to see Team Hunting.

One team of people who hate guns and weapons, vs. one team of people who bring their own guns and weapons (and love using them).

Set the first team off unarmed across a wilderness area, and give them a two hour head start.

Then the second team comes through, trying to find them and kill them. The first team, if it is so inclined, can also try to kill the hunters, if they find the means and will to do so.

Before the show, we can have proud speeches from each of the hunted, to show how noble and idealistic they are.

Bunnies.

It's essentially a multiplayer First Person Shoot/slasher with insanely cute rabbits in various adorable outfits. You've got Cowboys, Pirates, Ninja, Indians, Knights, Gothy shades, Androids etc. And everything in the round is recorded and you get a cool music video at the end with the bunnies going loco on each other; the music being decided on the pace of the battle and the terrain you're fighting on.

Only, doing the "bunny thing" instead of killing. Doesn't anyone else ever get tired of killing all the time?

How about a Monty Python game? Going after the Holy Grail and fighting killer rabbits and Knights who say NI! :D

Porn: The Game.

That would, of course, be an option. Only it would be more like an embarassment weapon to be used in close-combat. And would, of course, be added to the music video.

damn. Eh it's basketball anyways, not really a basketball fan, more of an American football fan.

NCAA is the college football game. NBA Live is the basketball game.

CWOT

Uh-huh. Better then games such as building your own farm. If games like Sims where all you do is eat, sleep, go to work are successful then its hard to know what will work.

ahh, thanks for clearing that up. I'll go look for a PC verison.

A multiplayer game with a serial killer in a large city against the police force/FBI trying to stop the killer. Playing as citizens of the city would also happen. Each person would have objectives, and assigned points based upon the completion of the objectives. The objectives of the individual citizens would be much more varied than the killer or the police force/FBI.

Survivor, but with armed contestants.

Okay, maybe paintballs.

They could just do time elapase.

A game I'd like to see is a slightly unrealistic RTS based on real world armies, tweaked in favor of those that aren't the US to make the game playable, with units being those found in real life. The US and most other western armies would have to be scaled down or the other ones scaled up a bit in order to get players to pick teams like China or Iran.

...Sorta like Red Alert?



A game I'd kill to play would be an updated version of the original System Shock. Nothing in the plot changed or anything, just with the SS2 user interface and modern graphics. That would easily be the best shooter ever...

...Sorta like Red Alert?Hardly.
Like Generals, except no futuristic gimmicks and more factions. The whole thing should be realistic apart from the aspect of balancing out factions that would hardly stand a chance in real life.

Hardly.

What d'you mean "hardly stand a chance"?

Never played Generals, but it looks like Red Alert in 3D...

...It's called "NationStates Roleplay Forums".

...It's called "NationStates Roleplay Forums".Yes, but something with more rules, and ideally closely related to the real world populations of individual countries.

also with graphics of some sort.

Never played Generals, but it looks like Red Alert in 3D...In a pitched battle, Iran would probably more likely lose than win against the United States. In order to make such a game playable, the Iranian faction would have to be as powerful as the US, which wouldn't be realistic.

I wouldn't want another Red Alert though. You only had Soviets and Allies to chose from and science fiction equipment such as tesla coils and chronospheres.

Yes, but something with more rules, and ideally closely related to the real world populations of individual countries.Sounds almost like SuperPower, except without the ideologies.

Well, if Iran is a difficult faction to play, well, that would make the game more challenging. Also, the US would probably have to limit the forces it could devote to a battle... And, you could just implement a morale system. The Iraninans might lose every battle, but the Americans would probably run out of morale faster, making them less effective, etc.

Well, remember, there's a limit to how "deep" a game can be, and most games can only be limited to a few factions. Those games that have many factions have limited gameplay.

Also, tesla coils aren't Sci-Fi. Tesla coils exist... they just aren't that powerful, and can't be aimed. *shrug*

I was thinking of an RTS like Red Alert or Generals that instead of having fake vehicles would have the real versions. An American army would go to war with Abrams tanks and Bradleys supported by infantry armed with M-16s, while a German army would be using Leopard 2 tanks and Eurofighters. You'd basically be able to use the real world albeit somewhat futuristic (Germany didn't have any Eurofighters at the time I envisioned this and has only recently gotten the first few delivered) arsenal available to the country.
I started working on a couple of models with Milkshape 3D, wondering how far I'd get before reality stopped me, and then my computer crashed and the one I have now can't run it for some reason.
Well, remember, there's a limit to how "deep" a game can be, and most games can only be limited to a few factions. Those games that have many factions have limited gameplay.A good example of plenty of factions would be Rise of Nations. Most units wouldn't be that different.

Generals is an entirely differen't game from the C&C games. The only reason it contains, "Command in Conquer" on it is because those bastards at EA bought out Westwood. Once you play it, you'l know what I mean.

Yeah, I read about it some more... Sounds more like an EA game now. *sigh*


What happened to all the good RTSs? I haven't seen one worth playing for awhile...

It's been done. (http://www.pibweb.com/review/mphg.html)

:eek:

Wow, never knew.

John Madden Calvinball.

Stick with the classics. All these new strategy games have this bullshit rock, paper,scissors balancing. You know, tank hunters kill tanks, tanks kill infantry, infantry kill tank hunters and it will not work any other way. These strategy games just keep getting worse and worse, but people love the flashy graphics and all the perks that come with these games.

I go with Starcraft and Total Annihilation.

TA is concidered possibly the best RTS game ever. It's old now, so not many people know about it.

I HIGHLY reccomend you get it. I promise you will not be dissapointed.

Really? When is saw RoN, I just thought "Great, a Civilizations knock-off". I'll try it when I have the money.

Even shooters have been going downhill, too... A lot of the games out there now are Doom3 clones. The only one I really enjoyed that came out recently was COD2.

*drool* I used to play TA all the time... I think I still have my Commander Pack around here somewhere...

Are there any good conversions for it?

Even shooters have been going downhill, too... A lot of the games out there now are Doom3 clones. The only one I really enjoyed that came out recently was COD2.RoN had its own identity. Sure it used the cultural borders concept too and had ages and technology, but its tuned to an RTS environment and there really is quite a bit of variety in the nations that can be chosen. Most of the units were the same except where civilization boni made them better or worse and where they were replaced by unique units. But most of the civs got grouped into cultural groups each with unique models for most of the units. The boni for each civ made it quite interesting too.
I seriously suggest getting the add on with it.
