My thoughts on how the game could be spiced up

Post » Fri Nov 18, 2011 2:25 pm

It's one city. One level. For everything. Or at least that's how i heard it last
I hope it's bigger than a city from an assassins creed game. Anything smaller would be dull. I realy like the look of the game so far and i think it might be the dark horse of 2012. But i dont want the whole game to look like what iv seen


IT would need to be livened up with things like:

Lanterns of various alien origins (organic, liquid filled, Different coloured, metal, glass, paper, blocky, sleek and so on) In areas that it would suit
Different housing for different cultures
expansive sewers and subways and perhaps a city underneath the city? ( not in a deus ex shanghai sense. More like an underground maze of buildings)
Factories, Brothels, slave houses, transport stations


In the sunny part of the city there should be some interesting plants of different colours and designs
animal aliens!
- put some alien crabs on the floor. Including but not limited too prey 1's grenade
- Greasels and karkians. Play deus ex if you dont know what i mean.
- make waterlife. Also let killian swim and at some point in the gameplay give him a gadget that allows him to swim super fast
- those gargoyle things seen in the trailer better be in
- insects. Alien fireflies would be grand
- pets and caged animals
- Mounts (not for the player)
- CENTAURS!!!!
- large and tame animals. Similar to city elephants in asia


unique npcs
Varied clothing on npcs from different cultures. Various technology from different cultures too.
AUGMENTS!! Give aliens robotic arms!! or even BIOLOGICAL AUGMENTS!! ( synthetic organic arms? )

Plausible but varied alien races- look at some realworld examples
Some deep sea fish have transparent skin. That would make a very good alien if you could see into his skin and look at some of it's organs
Some deep sea fish have transparent skin and have a bioluminecent ability that they can control (they have lights inside of them) That would make a good alien!
Some deep sea fish have transparent skin and have a bioluminiecence in different places. For exaple some of them have spots that glow whilst others have a kind of gas inside of them that can change colour!!
Pterosaurs wings have arms inside them. Just saying.
Aliens can have feathers. Feathers are cool. exoskeletons, spines, trunks, shells, leathery skin, spikey hair,scales.. ALL COOL . i dont just want to see amphibians
flying foxes.. aliens with lots of skin under the armpit to be able to glide!
Differently sized and proportioned aliens. Orangutang sized, gorilla sized, chimp sized, lanky limbed. Aliens used to high/low gravity etc
Tallons and claws and webbed feet and tentacles!


The technology used by characters should also be very different.

ranged should include organic weapons, bullet weapons, pulse weapons, plasma weapons, lasers, chemical weapons, electric weapons,sonic weapons.. etc

But there should also be mellee weaponry. Electrified clubs. Knives , swords, energy blades aswell as shields.

There should be heavy characters. But not with machine guns because those enemies are never fun to fight. Swords, explosives and common weapons for them.
Normal characters should use all weapons but less so mellee weapons
agile characters should use all types of weapon. Including heavy weapons.

characters should have access too jetpacks, cloaking, telleporting.


Most importantly
- sometimes in the game, you should be the prey

There are multiple cities, three I believe, and they are all said to be quite different from each other.
