Which game cross would produce the coolest game?

I think a cross between Generals and Starcraft would make the best RTS. The StarCraft troops would say things and walk differently when woulded, the graphics would be brilliant and special abilities do more damage, and everything won't react the same to each attack like in the old StarCraft. When marines get burnt they'd run around screaming with their heads on fire instead of just exploding into a bloody mess like they do for everything in the normal StarCraft. The briefings will be cooler and the cinematic scenes would be awesome because it'd be angles of the map with the units attacking each other like they do in gameplay. Sort of how cinematic scenes went in the Generals campaigns

Oh, I thought you meant like ultimate frisbee or something.

Any kind of game is fine. Like a cross between frisbee and dodgeball. That was done at my school during P.E. once.

rallycross with ultimate frisbee. now that i'd love to see!

Oh, I thought you meant like ultimate frisbee or something.

Professional wrestling crossed with twister! :D

I was going to say Starcraft/Age of Empires (AoE or AoK preferably).

You're combining two of the greatest RTS series ever...that's guaranteed to produce some epic gameplay.

I hope Blizzard and Electronic Arts eventually combine forces to create that game. I'd buy it and make the software an heirloom. :D

I hope it doesn't come out until after I graduate college...I do want to graduate, after all. :D

Imagine the kind of battles you could have with AoE's flexible pop limit and Starcraft's units...zergling rushes numbered in the thousands and hordes of Wraiths fighting dozens, even hundreds of carriers.

mechwarrior and DDR.

you walk on the pad and the mech walks. the command platform swivels to mimic torsal twists, sensors on the arms for aiming weapons.

buttons on the floor pad for jump jets. put that in a room with near 360 degree screen.... and you'll need a swat team to get me out.

I think you mean Ensemble Studios (the makers of AOE), 'Electronic Arts' and 'great game' are not often used in the same sentence.

Thats the type of thing i've been dreaming of.

Total War/Civilization.

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of war (An RTS), and an FPS (WWII respawn style w/ Resistance or Halo style fighting). One player sees a typical RTS view, and controls the workers and squads of soldiers, and the other players can "possess" a soldier from a squad. Vehicles are unmanned when built, and any unit (that can fit) can board it. The RTS player can swich to a normal player, and there is a queue(sp?) for anybody who wants to play as the RTS player, first come first serve.

Or just Oblivion/WoW. That would be awesome too.

Screw crossovers.
I just want Dungeon Keeper 3.
Alas, it is not to be.
*sigh*

Cossacks crossed with Nationstates where the gameplay is an RTS but every once in a while issues come up and you can use telagrams like in normal NS. And instead of RPing in forums you can type messages of what characters IC/OOC say to other players then edit maps to play the RP in. That'd be second best. :D

A mix between: Rise of Nations, Starcraft, Generals and Age of Empires.
*starts to drool*

Lets see here, Civ, Generals, and diplomacy(at least that is what I think that game is called, it has been so long I don't really remember) and age of empires.

Twister and bingo.

The superb multiplayer of Halo with the deep, engaging single player of Metroid Prime. I always found Halo's SP to be repetitive and boring. Halo is a great MP game with a tacked on single player that leaves much to be desired.

Medieval 2: Total WAr, crossed with EMpire Earth.
The greatness of Total War crossed with the entire-human-history-plus-made-up-bits of Empire Earth.
Probably need another computer to install it though

Devil May Cry games cross with Resident Evil games

Almost any sport could be improved by adding skates.

Dawn of War crossed with Starcraft.

And you thought you knew what a zerg rush was...

Imagine the kind of battles you could have with AoE's flexible pop limit and Starcraft's units...zergling rushes numbered in the thousands and hordes of Wraiths fighting dozens, even hundreds of carriers.

It's been done. Play Total Annihilation, TA: Spring (an open-source 3D engine for TA), or Supreme Commander.

And all have the benefit of being better than Starcraft ¬_¬

Real life games:

Rugby and Luge. :)

Computer games:

Pac-Man and Grand Theft Auto. :)

Or just Oblivion/WoW. That would be awesome too.

When the TES series is contaminated with that filth, the world ends.

No. Play Supreme Commander. It's five thousand times better than Starcraft, and is much more flexible than AOE/K. TA's simply obsolete.

Spore and GTA?

No. Play Supreme Commander. It's five thousand times better than Starcraft, and is much more flexible than AOE/K. TA's simply obsolete.

True. TA didn't have any eye catching super units. Nobody can say the UEF Mavor isn't the Kingmaker in most maps.

No. Play Supreme Commander. It's five thousand times better than Starcraft, and is much more flexible than AOE/K. TA's simply obsolete.
But TA doesn't require nearly so much horsepower to run ;)
And I've heard that Spring looks pretty, too, but I've never tried it.

True. TA didn't have any eye catching super units. Nobody can say the UEF Mavor isn't the Kingmaker in most maps.

It did have the Krogoth with Core Contingency. They were nasty, with the Purple Laser of Death on their heads.
The Mavor can kill anything on the ground, anywhere on the map... If you manage to have the time to build one :eek:

Or just Oblivion/WoW. That would be awesome too.

nah, World of warcraft sucks, and ruin the greatness of what is Oblivion. i say we should combine the better parts of Oblivion and Morrowind.

Oblivion/A game that doesn't spend more time on loading screens than playing

Bliss.

What about the SIMS mixed with MLB 2007. You could actually shoot steroids into yourself.... yummy...

Fuse

SPORE and Empire Earth and Civ IV and Starcraft and AoE.

SO you make and evolve a species until Civ Stage, then make huge hordes of alien units (that YOU design, along with others' designs) mixed with Starcraft hordes, boosted to the max with NO POP LIMIT , go through all 15 epochs with the precise evolution of AoE and Civ's tech tree.

Then go to SPACE and that's the game!

(But I doubt people'd even GO to space after that)





Awesome. And it only takes up 500 GB of memory!

It did have the Krogoth with Core Contingency. They were nasty, with the Purple Laser of Death on their heads.

Bah. The Krogoth looks like a pantywaist compared to a Galactic Colossus. See for yourself.

The Krogoth. So stubby, so chunky. Boring!

But the Monkeylord. Now there's a massive killing machine. Emphasis on massive.

Well, if you do manage to build one, you win. No exceptions short of everyone allying against you and firing a 101 nukes

Games are never 'obsolete', at least, not until a better version of them comes out. I still play the original Dungeon Keeper (and DK2). It kicks ass, because it came from an era when EA didnt own the world.
And TA is one of those games that can never really get boring, thanks to its still active mod community. Its a shame the mainstream doesnt recognize it more, after all, not a lot of games can claim to have numerous decade-old fansites and mod-projects which are still active.

TA: Final Frontier was awesome as well. You want superunits? Freakin' giant battleships in space, etc.

However, I'll agree on Starcraft. I never liked that game anyway.

EDIT:
Non-Aligned States has obviously never seen Krogoth plough through an entire army before.
Nothing like cutting those bastard PeeWees down to size before they can even think about using their EMGs.

Ye gods, that's an ugly Krogoth pic! They look much better in the game. And if you've ever played against them you know it doesn't matter what they look like ;)
The Galactic Colossus is really an updated, streamlined Krogoth. Except it's not as good because it can't shoot down aeroplanes ¬_¬

There are plenty of things that TA had that SupCom doesn't have (yet - underwater buildings being most obvious), and I can't wait for the inevitable additions and expansion packs. Tech 3 could certainly do with some fleshing-out, and all the sides could do with some more "unique" units that aren't experimental monstrosities.

Especially as it auto-targets Commanders, apparently. So if you've not got Assassination turned off, boom! Game over man, game over!

SupCom is brilliant, but that doesn't mean TA isn't still brilliant.

Russian roulette, and Spin the Bottle

Nation States and Hitman:Blood Money.
You get an issue, and instead of picking one you like, you kill the proponents of all the other options. Deciding to dismiss issues means you have to kill them all.

TA also had more than three unique units per side >_>

I suppose thats what I dislike most about SupCom in its present state. The only difference between the sides is basically cosmetic outside of the uber-units and a few minor differences in how structures work (EX: Cybran upgrade their shield generators instead of building better ones, etc.)

... Lasertag + Doom

a fully interactive Game.

OKAY!

*Cracks fingers*

You take the storyline, voice acting, and sneaking aspect of the Metal Gear Solid series, combine that with the environment, vehicle play and vularity of the Grand Theft Auto series, add the radiant AI, open-endedness and RPG elements of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and bring in the superior artistic design, graphics and musical score of the Final Fantasy series...and you will have created the most made-of-win videogame of all time:

FINAL METAL AUTO SCROLL!!!

There are actually quite a few differences if you look closely - and they make quite a difference to how the game plays.
You might not, for instance, think that the Cybran radar-plane having Sonar and a radar-cloak makes much difference... Until you win a game because one plane doesn't get shot down spying a significant vulnerability (which you exploit with a stack of gunships, causing you not to lose the game) , and later another spots the enemy's strategic-missile sub lurking in the ocean - just waiting for a nuke itself ;)

Neither of the other sides' radar-planes would've been able to spot the sub, and would probably have been shot down before spotting the unguarded reactors.

Eh, I still miss my Fidos, Peewees and Pyros.
And the AKs. I dont care what other people say, AK Rushes are awesome :P

I want Supreme Commander. Nownownownownownownow.

Super Mario/Call of Duty. :)

Shonen Jump Vs. Tokyo Pop.

Make it a fighting game wherein the characters from the series of these two publications do battle, ala Capcom Vs. SNK or Marvel Vs. DC.

Think of the possibilities!

FINAL METAL AUTO SCROLL!!!

Sounds like slang for female mastuerbation to me...

Star trek: Legacy and Escape velocity: Nova
the epic 3d capital ship combat of ST:legacy with the exploration and flexabilty of EV:Nova ...drools....

Uh, no, that sounds like a recipe for disaster. Or at least the Star Trek: Legacy part, anyway. Far, far, FAR overhyped and a piece of crap.

I'd like to see EV:Nova mixed with any game where ruling a planet isn't a pointless, pain-in-the-ass activity for people who finished the game already. Something along the lines of Master of Orion or Civilization, with the ability to control production, adjust taxes and build upgrades withing conquered systems.

I'd settle for a decent capitol ship combat sim, people are apparently incapable of making those these days though.
*sigh*

Croquet, Australian football, and Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Non-Aligned States has obviously never seen Krogoth plough through an entire army before.
Nothing like cutting those bastard PeeWees down to size before they can even think about using their EMGs.

I've used a Krogoth before, and frankly, they just didn't impress me. Sure they ate PeeWee's for breakfast and turned Big Bertha's into big holes, but they didn't have the coolnes factor that a massive monstrosity like the Monkeylord and Fatboy has.

Ye gods, that's an ugly Krogoth pic! They look much better in the game. And if you've ever played against them you know it doesn't matter what they look like ;)

No, it doesn't. Looks matter. Otherwise, a flying rock would have sufficed.


Tech 3 could certainly do with some fleshing-out, and all the sides could do with some more "unique" units that aren't experimental monstrosities.


I agree. There should have been a missile cruiser or arsenal ship at T3 levels. And some kind of mobile anti-air T3 unit to balance things out.

Although at this point of time, I've got some basic design ideas for a new battleship and a T4 super bomber class. Think of an Ambassador strategic bomber, but with 2 destroyer class guns mounted on its upper frame and carpet bombing ability.

Oh yes, and a pure combat version of the fatboy. No build capability, probably no shields either, but better AAA, same amount of battleship guns, and one hugeass T3 static artillery cannon. Or maybe a Mavor type gun.

I'd settle for a decent capitol ship combat sim, people are apparently incapable of making those these days though.
*sigh*

Project Infinity might be the MMORPG for you. Fighters, gunships, corvettes to battleships. Everything controlled via first person including combat. So far though, they've only got the combat prototype out.

I hope Blizzard and Electronic Arts eventually combine forces to create that game. I'd buy it and make the software an heirloom. :D
EA seizing Blizzard? That would be the end of gaming.

Grand Theft Auto and EVE Online.

Think about it.

Alas, it is not to be.
*sigh*

*sighs as well*
I never got to play either of the first 2, but desperately wanted to.
If they were to make a third... I would buy it instantenously.

I'm still waiting for Shenmue 3 =(
