Your own video game - what would it be like?

If you had the chance to create your own video game, your own characters, your own setting, your own plot, your own everything, how would you make it? Would it be an adventure? Or how 'bout an awesome shoot 'em out game? or maybe you would make a fantasy-like RPG game? I'm pretty sure we've all thought about what it would be like if we had our own game, and what it would be like.

So explain to us what you would want in your game, what your plot/obstacle would be, what would the characters be like, and anything else you want to mention.

Personally, my game would probably be a combination of adventure/RPG/action. Possibly a guy who wakes up somewhere he has no remembrance of, and has to murder all these zombie dead people that are trying to attack him, just to get free of where he is at. (Pretty basic concept, haha, but I'll work on it.)

If I had my creation for a game I'd kinda make it like all the best games fused into one very awesome and violate game from games like Resident Evil to Grand Theft Auto.

Hmm, how original xD



I'm at a slight advantage because I'm on an E-media and Games Development course at college at the moment and the project we're doing right now is creating a trailer for either a game or film using 3d software, motion capture etc. etc. (I'll try not to bore you all with the details lol)
So anyway, we had to come up with concepts for everything and I've got my story concept. There is one catch though, the whole thing has to be based on a lost civilization. So i decided to not base it on a 'real' lost civilization (Aztecs, Mayans etc.) and to base it on a lost civilization of dragons. It's a bit corny but here goes:

Basically, an archaeologist finds an artifact that is evidence of the dragon civilization existing in the past. He studies it and he accidently 'activates' a hidden power in the artifact which causes a magical seal to break. This magic seal was keeping the dragon's leader away from the human world and now that he has released it the leader can do as he pleases. He gathers an army to attack the humans with to get revenge for being sealed away all those years.

I would want the game to play as an RPG/adventure, I'm not sure what type of battle system yet though.

GTA meets Simcity. Basicly a full city to start with, you got all the missions etc, but you can basicly customize everything, buy every building, build new ones, beat up people for rent money etc etc.

Tbh i expected atleast some of it in GTA 4, like being able to buy buildings and having to put pressure on people if you want your rent.

Gta 4 , with the weapons of games like quake - doom - etc and be aible to destroy buildings etc :P

A version of GTA where the city is based on somewhere like Glasgow, Edinburgh or even Aberdeen. Scotland's major cities are run-down enough to be the ideal place for some immigrant to rise to the top and stuff.

I've had this idea for a long time but I am going to just say it now!

If you have ever played any of the new Tales RPG series games(tales of symphonia, abyss, vesperia, DoTNW etc...) Battles like that but customizable characters and online where you fight to gain command posts for you country !

My creavtivity is pretty much dead. :(

Skill and elemental alignment based MMOG based in a fantasy world.

Just my game, though I have a lot more to it but I don't like leechers.
