Would be cool if they totally translated a city 1:1 into an open world top down rpg environment but they changed the names. So like if a street had a Chinese restaurant and a shoe store and a deli, those would all be shops in the game to buy items from. You could buy lottery tickets from the deli for instance.

I used to wonder what the video game background music of my neighborhood and school and stuff would sound like, and that life would be better if there was music playing 24/7 to fit the area/situation.

The object of the game would be to live as long as possible until you die. If you run out of money you could play as a homeless person and sleep on the Subway.

I've been saying for years that the military needs to map out foreign battlefields and have the army men fight virtually there before they even set foot. They probably do this, though...

Yeah, exactly like this, but with a massively increased scope. Realistically you probably couldn't simulate an entire city but there should be at least 500 buildings to go into.

I'm surprised no one has done this by just pulling Google maps street view data and letting me walk a little avatar around it.

0.5 percent of the buildings are, and half of them only in story mode.

One of the great things about Sleeping Dogs was that a lot of the building interiors were accessible, and there were shops and things.

At least I think they were. It's actually been a while and I mostly just did the story quests.

Oh, and Watch Dogs I think you could maybe go into a lot of stuff? I don't remember because Watch Dogs was terrible.

I had another game idea where it's a Spider-Man dating sim, and you need to go on dates with Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, and Black Cat but your superhero life interferes in various ways. So you'd need to beat The Vulture before you run late for your dinner with MJ, for example.

go to japan and eat at one of the many ichiran ramen chain restaurants, they play a song on loop that sounds like some jrpg town poo poo and that was p :eyepop:

if you try to use twewy to navigate shibuya you'll end up like my bro and me accidentally going under a bridge where a bunch of homeless live, or down a side street where you'd probably get shanked for being white

and that was with google maps

I remember my friend that always got videogames before me, but could never remember the names so he described them with great exaggeration, made the Sims sound like this when he described it. He also told me that crash bandicoot gets a blow job from his girlfriend in the opening cutscene of the first game and I believed him.
