Okay, Fall Out New Vegas Ultimate Pack it is.
Free copy of Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Pack for the best answer to this question.
Genres have been born during every era of gaming history. Sometimes it takes the ingenuity of ideas from another medium to create a new genre. Sometimes old ideas are married together to create something new.
The last 5 years or so has seen no shortage of companies that were willing to try new things. Sometimes adding a leveling system to a shooter is all it takes. In other cases, the gaming landscape expands to include variants you could never have imagined.
That's your task.
Pick two games and put their best attributes together, forming something new. Give me a well considered, thoughtful paragraph about your game, answering the following five questions in detail.
1) What are the games you're putting together?
2) What gameplay/visual conventions are going to be blended together and why?
3) Which game's universe does this new hybrid inhabit? Would you create an entirely new universe for it?
4) Tell me as much about your game as you can.
5) Who would want to play your game? Is it a niche title that will only appeal to the most adamant of core gamers? Is it a casual title that someone can enjoy on a mobile device? Somewhere in between?
1. Bastion + Final Fantasy 7
2. Take the gameplay/graphics of Bastion and combine it with the storytelling of Final Fantasy 7
3. An entirely new universe should be created. A universe similar to what both Bastion and FF7 has achieved, where you have an entire continent/country in front of you. It shouldn't be "realistic"
4. To me, the game play of Bastion is so satisfying, but the story/storytelling is very lackluster. It's not bad, but it's no where near great. On the other hand, FF7 had a fantastic world with amazing story/storytelling, but in this day and age, the gameplay is definitely dated. I'm specifically speaking to the turn based aspect. I would definitely keep the expansiveness of FF7 in this new game, such as the amount of items, systems such as the materia upgrades, random treasure chests, hidden quests, ect. The setup could start out similar to Bastion, where you wake up and have no idea whats happening to your world, but you begin a quest of Destiny to save your world.
5. The game would definitely appeal to the hardcore over casuals and most likely wouldn't be as enjoyable on a mobile device. I would definitely keep it to a console or even PC and focus on one platform, to make the best game possible.
I would go further in depth, but i'm at work and this is the best I could do for now
