I always look for more in a game, but what I usually do is ask for a game I want to play. From a game that can win 5 Game of the Year awards to a concept that may define the meaning of this generation or the next, I count down the 10 best gaming concepts that need to be used for once!
10. Vampires!
A concept used in the olden days, We need another game that you play as a dark creature of the night to kill to quench his bloodlust or prove the villagers that there is a heart in a soulless vessel. Since the dawning of Twilight, all ideas of such a game be developed was scrapped or just rethought of. I mean, the story of Rayne still lives on, but we miss the games she was in.
9. Theft
I know there are games that have you sneak and steal for the fun, but they aren't a good example of what can happen. I want to see some utilize this concept in a rare way. Either in VR or even in modern gaming. Make the game in a more modern era where you'd have to do more than just run away when they have guns. Make it even more than what I expect, make it like a Jewel Heist to put more suspense on my behalf.
8. You Don't Have to Shoot
If you ever played SWAT, then you know what I'm talking about. In SWAT, you had to arrest the offenders, if they attack with lethal force, you had permission to shoot to kill. I haven't seen a game like that since then. I mean there's Rainbow Six: Siege, but they don't utilize the concept of a real SWAT team or a real American Law Enforcement. This would lead you to believe that meeting an offender that would kill, would be surprising or just hard!
7. For the Sake of Adventure!
I know there is a game coming out with the same concept called No Man's Sky, but I know that not many would like to take this concept willingly unless it's an awesome new world. I really want to see what a person can with this idea, with worlds already created, like Tamriel (Elder Scrolls) or even Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings). I know that there might be dangers in this type of world, but I want to see the world in a perspective of a traveler or be the Lewis and Clark of Tamriel! Sounds like a boring concept, but such an idea can have you dwell in the depths of the world's beauty.
6. Become the Elite
I know that in Halo 2, you play as the Arbiter and that was awesome, but you see the game in a heretic's eyes. I want to play as the Elite that doesn't see the Covenant as a false community, a concept already told in books, but never in a game. I want to see the story before the Spartans were made. To see what Reach was like in the hateful eyes of a cold blooded Elite.
5. In the Great War
I know this may go off roots with the game's genre and style, but always wanted to see what everything was like in the great war in Alaska and China. To play out the role of an American soldier wearing the T-50 Power Armor for the first time and drive out the Chinese from Alaska. A short story already told, but never shown. Someone in Bethesda, try to make this happen and not make it like Point Acherage.
4. Egypt Empire Vs. Roman Empire
There are many stories of which that talk of the Egyptians and the Romans, but I would like to see someone in the gaming industry try to take those stories and put them either in a story driven game, or a game in the style of Chivalry. I have my own ideas, but I would like to see what people would do with the concept.
3. Other Superheroes
There has been some talk going on that the Arkham series is old and we are waiting to see other heroes take it's spot. I agree with that. Arkham Knight was a bit of a bore and felt as if I was playing the same game. I would love to see a game that would be based on either famous or unknown heroes like Spawn or Shadow Hawk, maybe even a game based on the Sin City comic book franchise. Please, Telltale, Bethesda, 2K, anyone try to take this idea! I want to see the heroes rise!
2. One of the Nine Divines
After seeing the success of Fallout Shelter, I believe they can do more than a Vault Simulator. I always loved playing Civilization and games that make you as the god of these people, so I want to see this concept go to one of my favorite franchises, Elder Scrolls. Be either the Daedric Princes or one of the Nine Divines that are worshipped by the people of Tamriel. I've seen games that tread this concept pretty far by allowing you to not let your followers poop causing them to be constipated.
1. Become the Demon
Games like Overlord gave me a lot of fun. What sucks it that the concept is no longer used. I want to see a game where you are the Demon tormenting the residents or on a rampage in the city. If you ever watched Grandma's Boy and you remember that game they made called Demonic, then you know what I'm talking about.
I would like to be on the evil side once more since Overlord isn't backwards compatible on the Xbox.
Did you like my list? Well, I hope the developers do something with these ideas because...
And as usual...
