Ok im sure your all pretty trigger happy, so this might not be to everyone's taste.
But the main point is,, not many first person action/adventure games have the material in them to beable to justify not using weapons of some kind..
and I was thinking after seeing the effects and atmosphere an engine like source can create, about the ability to create a really erie spooky realistic atmosphere.
for what reason...? well In the uk theres a tv program called mosthaunted. hosted by Evette Fielding, and I had an idea that might or might not work...
its basically creating haunted locations and a realistic system , based on realistic paranormal phenomenon, so basically the game would be aimed at scaring you in a realistic way. You would go around with a team of people at night time (althought you could check out the place in the day), split up check out the rooms, hear things.? maybe even see something , even though if its realistic that rarely happens. but I find hearing things and seeing things move by an unseen force the most frightening thing, and it is only apparent for a few minutes in a dark room or lightly lit room, a 'ghost'?.
people would react to a sound, like 'did you hear that' then they would go.. 'shh shh, quiet' and you would all be quite, but as an aim of the game you would be wanting to set out to record paranormal activity on camera, record sounds etc, or you would hear a door bang down the hall and, everyone would react accordingly, maybe if a woman was with you, she would scream a bit.. not sure how this would be done. but its just a thought.
If it can be made half as scary as the Televised program, who needs a gun, I think if it could be pulled off it would be great fun.. :thumbs:
