It’s a superhero game where you fly around and talk to teens about the dangers of stuff like texting and driving, swimming after eating, etc. Every year (real time) you’re judged on societal per capita injuries in various categories.

oh, i actually have Opinions on this:


- A Burnout-clone where the cars are also filled with ragdoll bodies. No, don't make them realistic, hell they can be goofy and cartoony, just have bodies that can get ejected from collisions or blown out the window when I hit the magic "explode car" button


- A Warhammer 40K game that basically implements a real-time Epic Armageddon game via the World in Conflict engine. The tactical aids would be great for calling in Thunderhawk strafing runs or orbital strikes or what-have-you, and instead of the team breakdown being infantry/armor/support/air it could be land/skimmers/support/titans :twisted: (or something like that)

A tripleA open world game rated E but with the same level of detail as Spiderman or Ghosts of Tshushima. Just no more than a PG amount of swears and absolutely no "NOW LETS ADD SOMETHING FOR DADDY!" moments. (Cue Andy Daly making slimy faces)

A Battle Royale game where the fighting takes place in an unstable alternate universe. Instead of having a ring that does damage over time while you are outside of it everything outside the central combat area slowly disintegrates. If you take too long or decide to fight slightly outside of it the disadvantage would be that your potential cover will deteriorate and disappear, eventually followed by the ground and even your character if you're too far away. The advantage could be that it would be difficult for anyone inside the combat area to see you. I think it could be a more interesting and visually compelling take on the genre.

A pizza delivery simulator but all of the people you deliver to have insane quirks or weird houses. Like you make it to some huge mansion and the guy offers you a $500 tip if you help him move a couch. The game just gets crazier and crazier and you're eventually delivering to houses that are being attacked by aliens, houses on top of volcanos, stuff like that.

You spend your money to maintain and improve you car, which also gets weirder and crazier as the game goes on. By the end you could be driving around in a giant robot that shoots pizza missiles.

Thief: Opposing Force

You play as a mansion guard, trying to prevent a super skilled thief from taking the silver. What makes it work is that the game is really bad, so when you see something in the shadows you might stroll over and look around for a bit but then realize you don't give a gently caress and just go back and stand at your post, just like the guards in every stealth game. Co-op multiplayer up to 64 players.

I've seen a few base building games that tried to do this concept with limited amounts of success but this just might work as a VR horror/survival game. Kind of like some Alien games but more medieval

There was an 8-bit adaptation of Aliens where you controlled the entire squad in a pseudo-first-person view, but could only control one at a time and had to switch between them whenever any of them saw an alien in their room before it munched them. This could work like that, where you set patrol patterns and things for the guards and then when one of them hears or sees something you can switch over to them (but only for like twenty seconds before they go "huh, probably nothing" and return to their post)

I was thinking normal first person hack and slash where you can weasel your way to victory. The scoring could be something like

-Thief is captured by you: 10 points
-Thief is captured by other guards, you're unharmed: 8 points
-Thief is captured by other guards, you're knocked out: 6 points
-Thief is captured by other guards, you're dead: 0 points
-Thief succeeds, you're unharmed: 2 points (you're fired but at least you're alive)
-Thief succeeds, you're knocked out: 4 points (lord of the manor is angry but doesn't fire you because you've suffered enough, plus the Guardsperson's Union doesn't gently caress around when a member is injured on the job)
-Thief succeeds, you're dead: 0 points

A tactical player will often find it wise to not start poo poo with the thief because if a swordfight breaks out and you die you get nothing. A blackjack to the head is a safe choice so just standing around with your back to the shadows is a pretty good strategy

Some rpg where you are just a mercenary dude, you just move your dude around a huge map with nations and poo poo. When attacked the game changes from map based to a dynasty warrior style battle. No protagonist story or any of that, you just try to get by, make some coin, buy some land, do some spreadsheets join some fellow merc and idk take down a dragon. Idk something between battle brothers, crusader kings and dynasty warriors could be cool.

Also you die a lot.

There was a free game from like a decade or so ago called Dyson, where you'd plant spores on different...planet-sphere things and once they grew into tree-like things, you could send the spores to infect and take over other planets.

Was a really simple game artistically. I would absolutely love to have that in VR.

A hyper realistic and immersive VR flight simulator, except instead of being a pilot in an airplane, you are a bird. The VR rig would involve crazy poo poo like a harness that has you suspended in a wind tunnel and you’d wear aerodynamically correct mocap bird wings on your arms and the wind tunnel would respond to your actions like taking off, gaining speed, doing crazy in-flight maneuvers, atmospheric conditions, storms, vertigo, etc. You’d have to learn and execute correct flapping/gliding technique in order to stay aloft. Levels would be epic and visually breathtaking sky scenes, like the Tetons or the Neverending Story intro credits. Oh yeah, rig would have to include an omnidirectional treadmill so you can experience spreading your wings, running to the edge of a cliff and jumping off and then be flying. A Grand Canyon level would be great for that.

The reason I want this to exist is because I’ve been chasing the high of a dream I had in middle school where I turned into a bird and flew, and it was mindblowingly realistic, like being able to feel the air currents on individual feathers, the sensation of vertigo and weightlessness, everything. I was in a euphoric mood for like a week after. Haven’t had a flight dream since that’s even come close, even lucid ones.

Not necessarily the hyper realistic, elaborate hardware VR version, but I pretty much constantly think about Bird: The Flight Sim. For now, keep your idea as the upgrade, VR version of my conventional mouse/keyboard/screen idea.
Each bird species - there are about 10 000 on earth - gets two missions, plus the open-world do-anything sandbox mode. Each species has an easy mission, and a hard mission. Users can make their own missions and put them on the server, sure why not.

For example:
Peregrine Falcon - easy: Start out already flying, just play with fast dives and flying around and learning the controls for high-speed flight.
Peregrine Falcon - hard: Find, attack, kill a prey bird (pigeon, duck, whatever you can find in a large randomly-generated world), bring the carcass (or a big chunk of it) back to your nest and feed your offspring. You need to not just fly like a bird, but work out weight distribution for carrying your half-a-pigeon home to the top of a skyscraper and how to rip it apart and feed it to your chick without choking your chick. And if you take too long your baby starves to death and you lose.

Pigeon - easy: Eat some seeds on the ground of the park in the city. Land on the statue, poo poo. Bonus points for getting poo poo in interesting places.
Pigeon - hard: You're a disease-ridden, scrawny young male pigeon in a big, polluted city. You've got to find food, get yourself sorted out, and mate with a female to produce chicks. All while being ruthlessly hunted by peregrine falcons and an entire city's worth of cats.

I always thought a game where you wake up in a bizarro world and had to explore and find clues to learn the truth about what's going on.

Examples in other media would be the GI Joe episodes There's No Place Like Springfield 1 & 2, Unknown starring Liam Neeson, or the excellent, yet short-lived Nowhere Man series starring Bruce Greenwood.

If there is something that fits this bill, let me know and I'll have to grab some :filez:
