As I wait patiently (not really) for Fallout New Vegas to unlock so I can download it (Steam), I began thinking of other games I wished I could play. Then I remembered this game I played waaay back in 1995, Terminator Future Shock. Conveniently done by Bethesda Software too. Basically a FPS, with some railshooter elements (I think, I can't recall if you drove the laser truck or rode turret duty). Early 3d, decent graphics and fairly expansive levels that allowed you several ways of approaching your targets. Fairly varied post-apocalyptic landscapes and interiors.
I then got to thinking how neat it would be to use Fallout 3's engine as a basis, and make a terminator game like Future Shock. Trekking the California Landscape, avoiding HKs, or blowing them to hell, doing the same with Terminators. Interacting with locals, finding caches, exploring, etc. I suspect it would be a 'harder' game than Fallout 3, less inclined towards humor and the in-joke easter egg stuff.
I doubt it'll ever happen, though it'd be a nice dream.
What kind of games would you like to see from franchises that don't really exist anymore?

Funny you mention that. I started re-playing F3 recently, and I saw a Terminator total-conversion mod that sounds just like that. It is called Cybernetic Dawn. That's all I know at this point, but I bet that is enough for Google.

I wanted to see the Chakan: The Forever Man sequel. I don't know if they could have pulled it off, but the premonition system sounded awesome.

Homeworld 3. No One Lives Forever 3. System Shock 3 (with SS2's RPG elements intact, NOT BioShock gameplay). A proper Supreme Commander sequel. Grand Theft Auto in an Asian or European milieu. A proper Shadowrun RPG. I'm sure I could come up with a couple dozen more, given time.

Apart from the obvious awesome Shadowrun MMORPG, something similar to the old Jagged Alliance games would be cool.

Giftmas?
I'm not quite sure if you're serious or not. But, if you are, I'll pass the memo along.
Posted by: Doc Chase Oct 19 2010, 04:57 PM
Hah! No. We'll still run. I just need to set up D2D tonight.
Posted by: AStarshipforAnts Oct 19 2010, 05:04 PM
Good to know. Also, sorry to threadjack, guys.
I'd obviously love to see a good Shadowrun MMORPG, or even just a well done RPG. I'm honestly more of a management game person, myself. Maybe something in the vein of Harvest Moon in a different setting, like building a space colony, that didn't suck.
Posted by: DeadLogic Oct 19 2010, 05:31 PM
would the SR RPG be turn based? Would it be similar to western RPG's of old? (icewind dale, torment, etc)? or FPS hybrid kin to the new Fallout?
Posted by: Kagetenshi Oct 19 2010, 06:02 PM
It'd really depend on what you're looking for. I think the most obvious translation would be a tactical RPG, but other approaches could be made to work, especially if you're willing to sacrifice moment-by-moment management of things like Combat Pool.

It could go any of those ways. I could see it as a Fallout 2 or 3 port, or a NWN-style game where GM's could make their own modules for their groups.
Posted by: Stahlseele Oct 19 2010, 06:28 PM
i'll torrent New Vegas as soon as i can find a PC version . . nut just the damn x-bawks version . .

Did you ever play Startopia? Management game on a space station; I enjoyed it quite a bit.

from what I understand about German law regarding video game content They probably need the extra time to censor the hell out of it.
Posted by: Doc Chase Oct 20 2010, 01:43 PM
My copy of New Vegas is d/lding on Steam right now; I'll take a peek at it when I get home tonight.
Posted by: Stahlseele Oct 20 2010, 03:03 PM
probably.
what's tits for americans is blood for germans <.<
Posted by: Doc Chase Oct 20 2010, 03:08 PM
Preliminary user reviews hint that there may be some nastier parts to NV than there were to 3, as well as a lot more 'moral' choices. Mmm, shades of gray. I can't wait to see Nellis as a smoking ruin. Hee hee!
Posted by: AStarshipforAnts Oct 20 2010, 05:16 PM
Not yet. But, I'll put it on my list, and see if I can't take a look at it sometime.

You could also have ordered the US version online; though it's a bit late for that now, I guess.

seeing how i don't have a credit card, no, i could not have ordered that i think . .
Posted by: Doc Chase Oct 20 2010, 06:49 PM
They'll take PayPal.
Posted by: Thanee Oct 20 2010, 07:35 PM
Also it's what, 3 days? My god! Hyberbole! You won't die from waiting 3 days longer than the US folks.
Amazon UK also has the 22nd listed, BTW.

i am horribly impatient with things i like i'm afraid <.< . .
also, the english version has the original voice work and the gore effects.
i will, of course, buy the german collectors edition . .
Posted by: Thanee Oct 20 2010, 09:35 PM
So you don't like the original voice work and the gore effects, then?
Bye
Thanee
P.S.
Hah! RC, p. 96.
Posted by: Stahlseele Oct 21 2010, 05:22 AM
i like the american voicework better than the german one most of the time.

He's German, he only pays in cash.
Sometimes I like being French: I get both blood and tits in my games!
I hate it when I can't have the original voices and have to deal with the terrible French dubbing. Most of my Steam games are set to English (when available).
Posted by: Thanee Oct 21 2010, 10:33 AM
Was just wondering because of this...
But I guess the "of course" means the "collectors edition", not the "german", then.

More or less, yes.

IT IS WRONG TO BE FRENCH!

If i can't get my grubbie Paws on an english version, you are damn right i will have to buy the german collectors edition . .
I want the goodies in there! Even if that version is in german, i'm gonna torrent and play an english version of the game. .
Posted by: Thanee Oct 21 2010, 07:20 PM
I still havn't played the first part (got the GOTY edition ), so I guess I can wait a bit, still.
Bye
