Video Games You Wish Existed

[_Quietus_]

you know what's got a good as hell game design?
The first three BIT.TRIP games

[Draco18s]

Having recently found something that (sort of) scratches the itch, a game I'd like to see is one in the Myst universe, only here's the catch:

You can write linking books.

(Ideally, mutliplayer)

Honestly I find BIT.TRIP's gameplay in general to be annoying, with Runner being the only one I actually have fun playing.

I'd like a game like BIT.TRIP Runner but more fast-paced. Like, a Rhythm Heaven platformer.

[_Quietus_]

Wow runner is actually my least favorite

[MobileMammal]

I love Rhythm games, especially Rhythm Heaven, but I just couldn't stand any BIT.TRIP games. I tried SO HARD to like them when I got them, because I liked the design and character, but in the end, it just felt... so shallow.

[_Quietus_]

I honestly liked their difficulty and also the music and abstract storyline
But they kinda got less difficult, less musical, and less abstract in RUNNER, FATE, and FLUX

[frostedWarlock]

From what I read, they were supposed to get less abstract due to BIT.TRIP being a metaphor for life and the latter half of the games have the perspective of someone who's old enough to get how life works.

Also, to keep the topic on-topic: Tales of the Abyss but with a combat system I actually like. I love the story, but the combat is 50% button mashing, 50% letting friendly AI do a lot of the work.

How about a game about playing a game in a game?

I just got the Highscore-Highscore!... That's right!


We got pixels, we got polygons, we put the pixels in the polygons?

[_Quietus_]

pixels in the polygons?

That's essentially what a texture is

Wow I was browsing through this thread and looking for something and then I found this

Homestuck games ain't happening. I'm just going to say that.

I am guessing this is one of those times where you really don't mind being wrong

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT I WILL

lol, yeah, I don't mind being wrong. I was really just tired of, "OMG they should make SBURB!" instead of you know, talking about realistic things. I literally spent a day checking every Hussie-related site I could to make sure the Kickstarter wasn't fake before it was on MSPA. Just because it's a long-shot doesn't mean it can't happen.

So yeah, I concede, but hell. I per-ordered that shit already.

[JordanTH]

I pre-ordered that shit already.

Is there anyone who hasn't?

[Graknorke]

Is there anyone who hasn't?

Me.
I don't have my own income or a stockpile of usable cashdollas.

[chimericWilder]

15$ doesnt really qualify as a stockpile. Also, as is mentioned on-site, it will be cheaper if you buy it though the kickstarter.

I didn't like BIT.TRIP Runner. The gameplay doesn't have quite enough depth. I think the reason so many people bought and enjoy it is because of the platforming genre. I probably won't be playing the sequel to Runner, which is currently in development. I do really like Commander Video though. Wouldn't he be a cool brawl character? He would. Pretty sure he would.

Also in response to Wacky Game Jokez, my friend recommended me that just today and you saved me the trouble of googling it. I have not yet clicked with the comedy though. We'll see.

The Homestuck Kickstarter is a thing. Maybe Telltale Games will develop? They do a lot of patrolling for IPs to make games out of. I guess that might be interesting. Telltale does some things well. I really hope the Felt are in this game, cause I love the felt. Any other ideas who will develop?

[MobileMammal]

Is there anyone who hasn't?

Barack Obama Hasn't. If he hasn't bought the Homestuck game, how can we trust him as president?

Paid for by Romney 2012


...That was a joke. Obama probably got the BROPACK. I could see that.

[Karhs12]

Obama bought the $1,000,000 bundle. Expect to see Barack Obanna making his debut soon. And then he will become the most important character in Homestuck.

RUNNER 2 isn't the sequel to RUNNER
FATE was the sequel to RUNNER, but that's a wii exclusive
Either way, I strongly recommend BIT.TRIP BEAT, although it is more difficult than runner, it's less repetitive, and the music and visuals are a lot better

This needs to be made.

Someone draw this, now.

You mean Obarna? Obana is already in SBAHJ, man, we don’t need another one, especially since I for one do not look forward to yet another nebulously-defined and artifacty downward trend in econony.

[Graknorke]

Barracka Obarnman OC donut steel?
I could see that maybe perhaps.

[Superfrequency]

An adventure game in an open world where you are a detective and need to actually think about where you need to go to find clues to solve cases, as opposed to inventory puzzles or running through dialog trees

Shenmue but good

or um

L.A. Noire without the telling you what to do all the time or the Rockstar

I want to like L.A. Noire but I find it difficult to get into games that think they are Hollywood movies and/or hold your hand. Bores me stiff. Games should tell a story through gameplay, not dialog. That is not participatory.

[BRPXQZME]

IIRC they were going to get around to the gameplay eventually. It’s a sandbox game with only a couple of sandbox things to do. The lesson here is “gameplay first”, definitely, though I suppose that should be known going in.

Of course if you know the whole story about Team Bondi and their funbux you’d probably also wish it was made by someone else entirely.
