A game where you start out as in average Joe in a city full of hero's and villains and every thing in between,
you can be walking down the street and see a guy wearing cape fighting a lizard-man and try to intervene are just total
walk past them and ignore them like it happens everyday, where you can get a job at different places, like a nuclear power plant and there's in accident and
you become a radioactive mutant, are you sign up as a human guinea pig and get injected with something and become super strong,are you break in to a top secret military base and steal a proto type weapon are suit and you can chose to be a good guy and fight villains are be a villain and blow everything up, where there's a lot of ways to get powers of all kinds, make a lot of money and buy a company and start building your robot army of doom! Are just buy a taco stand and sell tacos.

A action/racing game like the movie fast and furious tokyo drift. So a game in which u are an ordinary man, walking in the streets of tokyo (because it's very crowded there, and the game has to have many people and cars so you have to evade crashing into them, or use them in different ways) and u see some people fighting, you help one guy who get beaten and so u meet the person who is into racing, but also has a lot of enemy's. So it's a game in which car (drift)racing (with a lot of tuning like the underground series of need for speed and like saints row the 'tuning' of yourself and your house etc.) meets an action game with fighting, escaping enemies and police (a bit of freewalking/parkours and ofcourse with cars), and a little bit of fights with weapons (guns/knifes). And ofcourse the goal is to become the best and maybe get the most beautiful girl.
Oh and by the way, I dont live in the US, but I still wanted to share my idea!

I think we should return back to old dungeon games such as Stonekeep and the most recent Legends of Grimrock but instead make it in a way that interacts with the xbox 360's kinect where full interaction in a medieval type setting would feel like something new and yet keep the old style of game play. Even if Kinect isn't used then how about having it use Minecraft's system of combining resources into a weapon and combining those weapons with other weapons.

They Live

I'd like to see a realistic zombie survival game. Not like Left 4 Dead where you're just rushing towards an objective, I mean a game where you're in something like an abandoned city and have to live. You need food and fresh water or you get weaker, have to sleep or your stamina drops and can't run. I'm thinking having it a little like Dead Island with the open map and collecting parts to make weapons, but not have damage numbers and try to make the damage realistic instead. Break a zombie's leg and it can't run after you, or cut off it's arms so it can't grab you. No magic medic packs, you have to find medicine or make your own bandages just like a real survivor would.

The zombies will be smart. Not like the typical dummy zombies. If they see you they'll chase you, and if other zombies hear or see the fighting they'll join in. It'll be a little like Assassin's Creed to get away, you have to get out of sight then find somewhere to hide. The zombies will look around a little for you then forget and shamble away. But if a zombie hits you, there's a chance you could become infected and have 3 days to find medicine or become a zombie.

And on top of that, have some inspiration from I Am Alive with the other survivors and raiders that want to steal your stuff. Some will be friendly and offer help or want to trade. Every NPC has the same needs as you so they'll also be out gathering supplies and fighting zombies. You might be walking down the street and see a survivor fighting the zombies, if you choose to help they might be grateful and give you some kind of reward or they could be hostile and attack you next! You might see something like a father and son who'd run away from you if you get close, but if you go chase after them they could lead you to an ambush. It would be a co-op game with at least 4 friends, but more people means more supplies you need.

I would make it an arcade game, something short enough that you can get your buddies together and play for a night to have fun with. Make a day last 10-15 minutes so you have to always make sure you've got enough supplies but you're also making sure to get a night's sleep so your guy doesn't fall asleep on you. Then at the end you have the option of running for the boat to escape or waiting for the next one and surviving another month, then have leaderboards with how long people made it.

I always had an idea for a cool Horror Game
The base of this game is a main character that has (imo) NEVER been done by any game EVER.

A Fat Guy. And I'm talking OBESE. And your a total puss. [B]AND A LIL CRAZY!!!!/B]

Anyway the story I was brewing up with would be something like this Fat 20-30 something Old American dork has some OCD's about like EVERYTHING. This guy ccan not run. He's too out of shape. "They're out to get me" could be a great tag line. Anyway usual "Police Sketch that might be you and it might not be You got your Psychiatrist that may or not be trying to help you with all his pills, and important parts of the game would be Psychiatrist sessions or (Self help w" Well something with the game would implement a Silent HIll-ish type world when you go from normal Malls or say a Bowling Alley or something and then the whole area goes crazy when you start tweaking out.

Great flashbacks pre-crazy world=zone of getting picked on, or shot down by the ladies, or just failing.
And the enemies could be based his personality and the deadly sins and the opposite of himself.
The only thing I've thought of at the moment is the Sloth TV - The game's Slow Tank. Basically a walking Old-Style Fat TV with big ol' muscluar arms and legs and a bad-quality (like Scramble-Vision porn network quality) Fitness video playing on it. And when you kill it it falls over and does the good ol' white noise CHHHHHHHHHHHH-that could alert other enemies.

Would love the old plot twist of Psychiarist is actually dead the whole time and your f**king CRAZY for a bad ending
And a good ending promoting to get healthy and stay in shape etc.

I'd love a Optional Game Mode way for the game itself to have like a Heart rate controller add-on too to make the world crazy-ness evolve around your heartbeat. (Like if your out of shape playing this game which is probably true your going to have a hell of hard time playing it) Don't know how much that could be instigated though.

O yea and he's definitely going to be a Brony.

That's about it

I'd love to play a game in a DC universe where everyone has aged and the world has changed naturally since the beginning of the Superman comics. Batman is long dead, although many have taken up his mantle in the mean time. Superman has hung up his cape after being bogged down by society for to long and lives on his ranch tending to the land. Wonder Woman has lost herself in meditation, and the world has become a place where heroes are simply vigilantes. Your character, a teenage girl under the new batman takes up the mantle of Robin and must enlist the help of all the heroes, new and old. To stop the reign of evil brought upon you by Joker 3.
Mostly I just want a game or comic where time has passed normally in the last 70 years :P.

So my game is about a Catholic/Christian man late 30's, suffering from schizophrenia, constantly taking medication for depression and his condition,living in new York working as a salesman in a perfume store he hates. So the story is about his man known as Cee by many and he goes day on and day out wishing he was useful in life, the game for the intro is played like heavy rain focusing on Cee's origin and his life trying to show players how people try to step on him, Co workers use him as a scape goat and his boss does no work and blames Cee for everything. That covers the intro now we kinda are pissed off want something to happen, which comes in the form of Cee walking to a church praying for significance in his life and his prayer is answered when he sees the church crumble and the floor and everything around him is engulfed in shadows and fire and a voice that speaks in the voices of man an woman tell him "choose wisely and you will be rewarded" So from here out the player will go though a door giving him powers of strength, charisma, flight, powers of an angel and demon.The game will lead the player to struggle with issues of knowing if all of Cee's powers real or him losing his mind to his condition, who was the voice, what will he do, and was he destined to do good or evil? The game will play like heavy rain on story based missions but in the action more like Prototype wherethe player can just spread his wings becoming a beast anyte killing people for fun or becoming a glowing white creature to help people. There is no one way to play and every choice will affect Cee in his physical state and mental state leading up to a battle in the end with either what Cee thinks could be the man downstairs or upstairs. The choice is yours defy what you believed in for everything you want or stay faithful but gain nothing you want. The game would be rated M or A, Got my inspiration from Gorey games like DmC, Fallout, Silent Hill and games like heavy rain and indigo prophecy whic, Which I hope my game would have more of a feel of most of those games both story wise and game play.

This game is all about a guy who has been injected with some kind of blood that will turn him into a wolf. In the game, you can be a human and a wolf, depending on which level. As a human, you are in a squad in the city, trying to fight off all crimes or massacre from this evil guy who is trying to take control of the city. The evil guy mostly takes place as a dictator. As a wolf, the guy you play turns into a wolf at night time only and helps your squad fight off the dictator.

The game takes place in a city filled with destruction, evil, and infected people. It's a city filled with hell and crisis.
This is also a first person shooter.
