What would LCS be like if it was a game?
« on: December 28, 2013, 11:30:07 pm »

I know it is a game, but I meant like a game with 3D graphics and such. I think it'd be a 3rd person shooter, and everything would be broken up like it is now. Where you would choose questions, and skills and stats would advance as you play the game, but you would control the squad in real time, where they go as a whole, but when a fight starts you could only control one at a time, and it go into turn based mode. Why do y'all think it'd be like?

Sounds kind of neat, like Jagged Alliance or something like that, but I doubt a studio would ever make a game like Liberal Crime Squad. Way too weird and politically incorrect.

Yeah, its sad to, it'd be a great one. I was thinking something that was like Fort Zombie.

I'd picture it being something like Freedom Fighters.

I imagine it as sort of a strategic menu-heavy-but-catchy-music-to-make-up-for-it kinda game. The raids could play out in so many different genre formats though. I'd like a Rainbow Six-esque squad controlling system with a not-unlike-Fallout-3 way of enabling special attacks and less conventional fighting.

Walking around the street in free play mode would be the best though. There would be a fast-travel system that would make having a car quite desirable, it wouldn't be super sandboxy. The sites would be clearly defined, and they would be linked somehow. You could toggle your street sense on to deduce what profession people were and engage in all sorts of in-game-mini-games to recruit and seduce people, to pick locks and escape cops and hack computers.

Maybe a GTA San Andreas where the management of the subordinates has more depth.

I'd think that it would be fps.  You pick missions and equip people from your hideout.  When you go on missions, no one is hostile to you at first.  You make them hostile by either attacking or sabotaging stuff until they notice.  You can leave at any time but have to return to the entrance to do so.  Car chases will follow if the site has been hostile long enough.  Basically take all the gameplay from LCS and turn it to a FPS faithfully.

Better yet: make it co-op. It would probably feel kinda like PAYDAY, except with more terrorism.

Honestly, if a major studio took it over and made it in 3D, they'd also take out all the good stuff.  Just enough controversy to promote the game, just enough humor to draw interest, and absolutely no strategy stuff.  AKA, it would suck.   :P

I think it would be more like Mount and Blade even though it sounds insane. At the beginning there is a map of America, where you choose your city (depending if it's National LCS or one city, I generally prefer one city). Then a map of that city would become the general travelling scheme. Travel would be like on M&B, sending squads out from your hideout in an overview map, slower if on foot and faster with a car. There would still be stats management and such in another tab. When your squad has an "encounter" when travelling or reaches a destination, it would enter a text screen with options or a battle. Battle would be third person with Freedom Fighter-esque but maybe more modern combat control.

I can name plenty of games where you wield a sword and take out dozens of automatic rifle-wielding baddies with a sword, and even a few where you cut up tanks. I've never had a problem with that.

It would be possible to make this into a simple 3D game I think by a indie, with simple PS1 style RPG graphics like FF7. With all text talking etc and timed car driving sequences (forcing you to select a move)

Someone could also do a total conversion of a game like Fallout 3/NV or a GTA if they had tons of time. But randomized layouts and voice acting are probably out for both technical and Political reasons

Saints Row the Third meets Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear meets Hitman meets Republic: The Revolution.

Saints Row the Third because GTA is not ridiculous and over-the-top enough to match LCS. Other than for being just a criminal sociopath rather than someone motivated by the Liberal cause, the Boss shares a lot in common with the Founder of the LCS.

Rogue Spear for the infiltration and operations in special sites

Hitman for the disguise system

Republic is a game with a similar premise to LCS, but unfortunately it had some development flaws.

I think that just making a more gamey version of LCS would be bad. However, I think if you were to take the current game and start ADDING graphics, that'd be good.
