One of the things that made me happy about Ashley was the fact she actually hid if you told her too.

Now if only she had a better personality and a voice that wasn't uniquely grating.

Except there's times like this:

There is a galador. I hit it with the mine-thrower, attaching soon-to-be-exploding death to its back. Ashley sees it, screams; it charges over and the mine goes off, killing all 3 of us.

"LEON!"

Dat voice. Couldn't stand it.

I would like a game where you play as a space marine, but you handle your armor, guns, and maybe vehicles like you do in Reciever- By handling every step of the process.

You could be one of those "recruited from an uncivilized world" space marines.  Like you start the game wielding a sword and then some crazy space people come down, give you a bunch of weapons you don't know how to use, and then you end up fighting bugs on a moon base.

That would explain why you have such a hard time using your own equipment.

It wouldn't be hard to use, you just wouldn't know how to use it.

I wonder what this big red button do-SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVATED

OH GODS! Maybe I can stop the self destruction by pressing this blue bu-- SUPER ULTRA SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVATED

Maybe if I press this green but- fuck it, this way at least someone I know can outrun the blast. 

But I like that idea, where you start out with the sword, and then move up.  Or you could start out with an old bolt action, or semi-auto, something simple to familize yourself.  There would need to be a way to avoid interface spoilers thou.

OH BUGGER!!!! Maybe if I push this black button on the black panel surrounded by blinking black lights.............Hmmm, it lit up blackly saying "Please don't push this button."

Totally called that's the one you were going to link to!   Anyways, yes.  If a studio could make that work, and keep it exciting in the long term, I would buy four copies easy, so I could play with my friends.  And that's coming from a broke student with no job.

A game about being a bodyguard. NO, HEAR ME OUT.

Games that have escort missions in them, like Resident Evil 4, have actually been kinda neat in the past, even having some enjoyable moments within those dreaded missions. Particularly in RE4, you have a large degree of control over your charge, plenty of time to prevent any mishaps and in the end Ashley can take a few hits if you're not quite quick enough.

The game I have in my head is a bit of a cross between that and reverse Hitman, in a Deus Ex-style setting. Missions can include keeping an eye out for snipers while high-profile targets give speeches, escorting intelligence officers or humanitarians through war zones, recovering VIPs from their captors and then extracting them, etc.

In the game, you have an energy shield that essentially creates a large wall hovering in the air in front of you. It stops enemies and projectiles, but once it overloads it's gone for good. You can keep close to your charge and fire around it, or leave it in a doorway to stop pursuing assassins. After the shield's gone, you can still force your charge to the ground and protect them with your own body, using a sidearm to keep firing.

Instead of having an escort mission shoehorned into an entirely different game, why not make the escort mission into an entirely new type of game crafted around the concept?

I want to make this into a forum game.

If you don't, I just might. This is an awesome concept.

This would also be pretty neat, something like a turn-based fight, where you have to react to the other player's previous turn and prepare for their next one, but with a quirky time element to it.

Its workable up until your "Unlink" an older character. What happens then???
