so here's the big fat deal. I like westerns, being from texas I grew up with some of the material from the great western games- Red Dead Redemption/ GUN.
but here's my problem- those games just weren't real enough for me. So I decided to make my own. So far I just need a genuine opinion as to whether the special features in the game are good or not. Here is a list, tell me what you think.
- you can kill kids. babies, kids, elderly- you can kill them
- real load times. applies to you and your enemies. guns back then were slow. makes it more exiting.
- realistic aiming. wobbly sights and hoping you hit the thing. a big plume of black smoke. just like real life.
- 50 cities, towns, villages, forts and indian villages.
- hooker and ability to use the toilet.
- a scratch and sniff card with each game. ever smell real gun powder, fresh beans, dead coyote, or fresh buffalo poop? you can now.
- downloadable books that teach you real old west skills you can use in real life. all for free
- mix and match guns and clothing. no more set guns, you can pick them off your enemies like in call of duty
- a massive open world based on the real US/ canada/ mexico in 1875. from New Orleans to Nome, Alaska. so big it takes four hours real time to ride from the mississippi to the rockies.
- real horse breeds, like the appaloosa and pinto.
- the ability to rob anyone at any time.
- water travel, steam boats, sneaky home break-ins, trains and the ability to join in on indian raids against white settlers
- a happy ending and a price of 20 dollars.

* Killing babies, NO. If there's anything that shouldn't be done in games it's killing babies... Killing the adults, that's realistic and should be up to the player whether they want to be good or bad.



*Unless its going to be a multi player game online, don't make it tooooo big.



*Don't make the sights so "wobbly" to the point where it makes things frustrating and boring. Its a video game so its meant to be somewhat unrealistic and fun



*Have fast travel to the cities, if I had to ride a horse or walk for an hour to get somewhere it would get boring FAST



*The ability to join raids is cool, should be able to join different things: helping sheriffs or bandits, Indians, etc...



*Having the ability to form your own group/gang and have partners in the game that will follow you and help you out, while becoming the most notorious group of bandits in the West -OR- becoming a sheriff and becoming the greatest law enforcement group in the West and put an end to gangs and bandits -OR- play as an Indian and do either, or avenge your people. Ability to create alliances with fellow groups/individuals that share the same interests as you in the game.



Your idea sounds good, if you ever make this game please let me know :)

quite a bit of this is nice, though some can be taken out, like the hookers (play gta), 50 cities is way too huge, maybe 15-20 woud be better, and the real old west skills could b a bit dangerous depending on the audience. my questions are: are you planing on making this yoursef, what is the audience, and what is the expected cost of production.

Honestly, I wouldn't enjoy that kind of a game very much. Aside from just a few features, it really doesn't sound that much different from any other game.



In addition, how exactly would this game be made? It'd be impossible to fit all of those features in, without going bankrupt in the process.
kb all the way

I'd be interested. I'm actually developing a game myself. If you need any help, feel free to PM me on the website I put in my source (I'm sure a lot of other people are interested, who are on the site, tell us more about it, haha.)

no i would not . because that is not properer for any one because you could make people go crazy and do it in real life . you could get chased by a mob or worst go to jail so do not do it.but the other stuff was good.





NOT!
