A what if idea I had

Recommended Posts

Ok I had an idea for a game whenever two things came to my attention.

First I rent GTA3 when it first comes out. I was talking about it at work and my manager said "Yeah it was a great game...to bad it's not multiplayer though. You could run around the city and shoot each other."

Then I heard the Liberty City Survivor commercial. Who remembers this? The one where they talked about taking 10 recently patrolled guys and arming them with guns and such and letting them hunt each other down.

I put 2 and 2 together....a Liberty City Survivor game.

Wouldn't that be great? You and your buddies can get together in Liberty City and play a multi-player GTA style game. Hunt each other down and kill anyone that gets in the way.

Hell you could even have missions where you compete against each other. Align yourself with the various crime syndicates. Even have a single player mission where you build your player up.

Who would play it? Now some things would have to be cleaned up. Such as the targeting system...but that's a piece of cake.

So anyways...discuss...and discuss what you'd like to see in the game.

 

 

 

*PS*

If you just generally hate the GTA series and think they're overrated and want to remind us of such...then do us all a favor and don't. Nobody needs another petty flame war. If you don't like the game then don't respond.

For the love of god...just respond about the idea rather than pulling stupid shit like that. Seriously guys...this stuff is getting out of hand.

Okay

 

How will this be different than any other current 1st or 3rd person "hunter" shooter game?

 

And petty flame wars are fun, admit it

It's a what if scenario...work with me. But here's some ideas.

 

You could pretty much do whatever you can in the GTA series. You could mow down pedestrians while hunting down your buddy. Hide out in a Noodle Stand in China Town. Hop the subway and cut your buddy off. I mean you are in Liberty City...the whole city while chasing your friends around and trying to complete missions.

I mean they would have to add different elements...like the working for various gangs. So here you are working for The Triads and you've been sent to assasinate a mob boss. You know your buddy is working for the mafia and he's there somewhere. So here you are with a bead on the boss when your buddy comes out of nowhere and you two have it out in the street. The mob boss takes off and about 10 mobsters run up to help your buddy. So you steal a car and take off...but wait there's your friend in hot pursuit. I think that'd be really fun.

They could make it an online game. The commercial said it was 10 guys. So you could be on a server with 9 other guys having it out. Have several groups on a server going at it. Groups of 10. Form gangs and allegiances. Create your own convict to run the streets. Utilize various techniques to hunt your friend down and cap that sucka. Use your connections to put a hit out on the other guy. Man that'd be awesome........

That actually sounds like a really good idea.

 

You could each work for different gangs (or the same if you really want to make it easier), and there could be some co-op missions (like, say the mafia and yakuza teaming up to go against the columbian drug cartel), or competitive (both players see who can steal a particular car and take it back to their respective hideout first).

Yeah see you'd just start out as contestants on the show but then the mob could slowly get more and more interested in you as the show progresses to where it's no longer a TV show. Of course since you'd be getting knocked off left and right they could have stats for you that determine how the various crime organizations view you.

I think that would be an awesome add on for the next GTA they do. Like you could play the story mode or the multiplayer Liberty City Survivor mode.
