I've been sucked entirely into Persona 3 lately, mainly because I'm trying to beat it before I have to leave again, and the whole system has really got me thinking of how to make A.I. controlled allies in battle useful and interesting. One thing that bugged me about that game was that whether you were a complete jerk outside of battle had no bearing on allies behavior in battle. So I'd like a game where actions you take, whether it's things like choosing whose advice you follow or who you use that last health-restoring-thingy on or just whether you say 'Hi' or 'Get to work' in the morning influence how your allies fight. So maybe if you're a big enough jerk to the healer, they'll 'forget' that you're low on health and instead give another of your allies a pointless powerup. Or maybe a particularly hot blooded character will ignore your orders to hang back and act as reinforcements unless you've been working on keeping him calm. It's important that it not just be a simple 'how much do I like you' meter, with them being more helpful or obedient the more they like you.

Star Ocean 2.

You want the game, Star Ocean 2.

I wish there was a cyberpunk GTA-style game.

I'm not sure if this is a joke, or fortunate timing, but I'll treat it as serious, and point you to the just-announced Watch Dogs.

Everyone should play this anyway. One of the best PS RPGs, hands down.

What I have been craving for a while is a Victorian era GTA style game based in London. Hijacking cabs, building a reputation, getting invited to the most scandalous parties. So many possibilities.

[Lord Dullard]

Okay, a Victorian GTA would be awesome. Especially if your arch-nemesis was a Sherlock Holmes analogue.

What about Berlin?  Would Berlin be ok?

I love the designer of the FPS getting pelted with stuff in that video.

We all do, we all do...

A good, real remake of Star Trek: Birth of the Federation.

I would give all my money to get nice 3d battles, textures, expanded research and diplomacy. Oooh, and if it could expand onto Original series too, and proper dates and timing on the game. *sigh*

For those who don't know: Master of Orion, Star Trek style.

TBFPS - Turn based first person shooter. Multiplayer

You plan for x seconds (plan=look around for enemies, cover or whatever) and then you play for y seconds in the traditional FPS way. And then it's all planning again.

A game where you're just some (non-badass) norm being hunted by Assassins.

That would frustrate the hell out of me.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Sounds like Battlefield. Spend 10 minutes planning your attack and strolling across the terrain only to be shot by a sniper, respawning and then doing it all again.

Aurora, but with HoI3 ground combat, how awesome.

[MrWiggles]

HoI?
