A game where you have to go around framing people for crimes. and then you're framed for framing a crime you didn't frame somebody for

[Sergius]

Framingception?

[Neyvn]

I want a game with two modes. the first like star wars battlefront, where you are just a regular soldier, nothing special, the second is controlling everything like an rts and you can swap between modes mid battle. (but it kills your troop if you go to rts mode to make it fair)

Urban Assault is sorta like that. It's basically an RTS but you can direct control of individual units. It lacks infantry, just tanks, planes, and helicopters, and whatever the fuck the alien factions use.

That was a popular gimmick for RTSes a while back, I know some versions of TA: Spring have it, and there was a mythology-themed one I can't remember the name of.

Um... There is "Primal Carnage 2" thats out right now...
One part of the game is a FPS but there is a Commander Role that can be filled by a player that turns the game into an RTSlike. You can't directly control the other players but you can see and manipulate the map like most RTS games...

Uplink has that. So much of it.

There's also Void Destroyer, kickstarting as we speak. But it is already fairly advanced, with a playable demo. I stress playable. Also enjoyable. (Back that sh*t up!)

Anybody remember Splinter Cell Conviction? That, but a multiplayer-only game about ninjas in feudal Japan. Hide in the shadows, wait for an unsuspecting foe to pass underneath your hiding spot, and gank them when they walk by. It'd be difficult to encourage players to actually move around instead of rushing for all the best hiding spots and staying right there, though.

A Red Orchestra like game set in the Spanish Civil war. You'd create a character, and basically customize their personal background and appearance. You could pick what nation they're from, what ideology they represent, and what their previous profession was. Each decision gives a small boost to a certain in-game mechanic, and your ideology represents who'll you'll be fighting for. It'd also have a large campaign map, where both sides are trying to win multiple battles over a long period of time (Similar to Planetside or WW2 Online.)

Your chosen political ideology would also serve as a sort of faction within the faction you chose, and you'll be working to sort of out perform opposing ideologies within your overall factions. The Communists want help repelling a group of volunteer fascists soliders? Too bad, you're an Anarchist and you hate their guts, so you're going to try assaulting a nearby town instead.

Character customization would also be extensive, and the more you fought the more options you'd have to customize your character. You'd start off wearing basically civilian clothing, but the more experienced you'd get the more military-like clothing would be available, and the more battle-worn your character would appear (Like in RO2.)

So pretty much The Ship/The Ship's Kickstarted spiritual successor/Assassin Creed's multiplayer? You should check out all of those.

Would you have the opportunity to shoot George Orwell?

So, this, but with (competitive) multiplayer?

I want a game that is Diablo IN SPACE! Or maybe more like Torchlight IN SPACE!

I don't mean a game where you run in dark corridors and kill demon-like aliens with space swords. I mean actually being in a spaceship, flying around, maybe in an isometric view. While I think of games such as Freelancer as Diablo IN SPACE!, I want to be more literal: enemy ships that drop a Laser Cannon of the Fox that gives you +5 maneuverability and other "magic" loot like that. Green loot, blue loot, sets, all that crap. So basically, you have an equipment swap screen just like Diablo/TL... perhaps it only works in a spacedock, or not. Instead of classes, we could have the Merchant Ship, the Pirate Ship, etc.

That russian game, Space Rangers has a certain diablo-ish quality to the equipment and drops and ship "classes", but not really. They're just weapons with a level attached to them.

EDIT: Oh, and DarkStar One has an actual "skill tree" for your ship, that levels up. But it's a weird alien ship that eats alien gunk to become bigger and better. Hm, I think Pirates vs Zombies also has a skill tree?

I'm not the only one who read that book and had this as their first thought! Dammit, I was gonna post that.

[WillowLuman]

But shooting him doesn't kill him, apparently, and he goes on to write about it. That would be a cool historic easter egg though

Demon-like aliens...
Kreegans from Might and Magic universe anyone?

I hear that Drox Operative is more or less like this.

[Rez]

A near-future space game that accurately portrays physics as it relates to orbital mechanics and acceleration.  Interstellar travel is enabled via wormholes and the game focuses on the war between several civilizations of about the same technological level.  The player is an officer who will choose between different commands, ranging from planetary defence fighters to cruisers with small support fleets. There should be a focus on immersion as the commander, interacting with your ship and your subordinates.

As the game goes on, the civilizations will develop new technologies, such as antimatter manipulation, reactionless drives, or wormhole creation.  You'll be able to shape the world by establishing outposts, capturing hostile technology, or discovering ruins.


Another idea, but much more brief: a ship sim on Bas-Lag.
