My idea for a zombie game

[magicman1234]

Added a few more ideas.

If you have any ideas to make this game cooler than it already is, please post.

I think a zombie game where you had telekinesis powers would be amazing. Like... a FPS version of Psi-Ops in a zombified world.

I disagree.

I agree.

With you

[QUOTE=dookster;25553856]The whole idea would be you'd record the significant event in human history and feel that if there were any future generations who survived, even if you didn't you would at least be remembered in history through the video.

So shut up.[/QUOTE]

because most people give more shit about recording shit than surviving

[geromyP]

The idea is interesting, im hoping this is actually considered into a nice zombie game.

Talk to Frank about it.

[Lol-Nade]

So how about that game where they dropped a guy into a mall full of zombies to take pictures?

What was that called? Oh yeah.

DEAD RISING.

So how about a situation when someone makes a retarded post thinking they're witty.

Wait, what was that called? Oh yeah

[QUOTE=TheForeigner;25554930]why do you think the gunstore owner would die when he has so many guns and thousands of bullets.

if he died why would you be the first one to loot his store?[/QUOTE]

Gun stores arn't usualy connected directly to a grocery store.

[MutantBadger]

All I want is a zombie game with a Scheels in it.

Make it so that there are two different "alertness" bars- one for the zombies for the entire city, and one for the building your in. The higher alertness bar goes, the more zombies are aware of your position, and therefore the more screwed you become. This adds a planning element to the game, as players need to make sure they have a plan to avoid unneeded conflict, and alternative escape if shit hits the fan.

Maybe there should also be surprises that could totally screw you over, but if handled correctly, could be survivable. Imagine something like tripping the alarms, or opening a closet full of fresh corpses that the zombies smell.

Dead Rising 2

[editline]22nd October 2010[/editline]

Gun Stores,Malls and other buildings that aren't Abandoned should have the zombies concentrated at that location and ignores you(except for some strays that are walking to your direction)

Day 1 should have a lot of people running away from zombies.

and make you choose a path(each path have a different intro)
Psychopath,Reporter or The Average Survivor

[ZomBuster]

The main menu would be a tv,and watching a recording starts the game.

[Rayza Black]

I think that the camera idea is nice, but it is really just an art gimmick by the sounds of it. Needs moar depth too it. Also, guns are good. I hate games where you can't fight your enemies proper. Stunning is for pussies.

On a side note,
thank you for reinforcing my fear of the valve gnome.

I support this.

I think combining the OP's idea and the idea of the three GTA IV style "zones" would be great, and I have a bit of a plot that could make it work.

You are in the quarantined city and the only people with a comfortable amount of food and supplies are criminals, so you star doing missions for the criminal gangs, very GTA-esque. But after a certain amount of time you get in deep shit with the military/law for a murder or something. They then offer you a choice, death or go out with a camcorder to the infected zone of the city to gather as much information on the zombies as possible, maybe collect blood/flesh samples and save anybody out there, to try and help the scientists in the city come up with a solution to the "problem". You could start off as a group of about 10 criminals supervised by about 3 much better trained and armed military personal, and you are designated the cameraman. Maybe shit hits the fan, you have to hole up and fight your way back, and gradually as you do more missions for the military you get more equipment, and get to lead your own groups.

Just my 2 cents, I kind of made it up as I went along, what do you guys think?

I don't really want gangs involved in this game.

[~ZOMG]

If anyone's willing to code, I'd be willing to map and model.

[QUOTE=magicman1234;25591715]I don't really want gangs involved in this game.[/QUOTE]

Maybe small factions or groups located up in certain buildings that are either hostile or friendly.

No huge factions, just small groups of marauders and scavengers. On rare occasions will you ever see military factions.

[Tyvak]

If this was done correctly it'd be great.

[edja007]

So who's going to program, model and actually implement this idea?

[NoPartyHats]

Heh, If you need any help on the story or something, I'd be willing to try.

[Destroyer]

I have an idea for the story..

After the outbreak your girlfriend(or someone else close to you) was trapped behind the quarentine borders,so she records video tapes and leave them around the town for you to find where she is and what happened to her.

Now you have a reason to have a camera :smug:

No. They were recording an amateur porno, when the zombies attack.

Dude fuck. I was actually developing a game a lot like what you're describing and I had it in a playable state before my hard drive crashed. The ONLY difference was that it was topdown pseudo 3D like the old GTAs.

It was open world in a city with a bit of country around the edges and you could interact with most everything and scavenge things like food, ammo, weapons, health, and etc. You could also drive vehicles but most of the vehicles were broken down and could be scavenged from if not driven.
It was pretty fucking sweet and my dream zombie game somwhat like yours, but unfortunately it's gone forever :frown:
