I woulda posted this in one of the console game forums, but I didn't think it applied to any of the systems because it could be created for any system. This is a purely ideal game and I think that it'd be a great idea. So get comfy, grab a beer... this is gonna take a while.....
Quake 3, updated version of Quake 2, which Unreal Tournament is based on. Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament are basically the same game!
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING, I KNOW IT’S LONG BUT IT’S A COOL CONSEPT AND I THINK YOU’LL LIKE IT
So I sure hope that if I, or somebody makes an online videogame like I think will rock the market, that it's unique and people get off their 'look at what the other persons doing and mimic it' approach and come up with unique ideas.
-----------------------------------------------------------
My Vision:
Ok, first of all my idea is to base this game on a raging war. All online games would have to be anyway, due to the fact that if they weren't then everybody would want to be the hero correct?
Everybody would want to be the person who gets to the last boss and saves the earth, and some people would have to be store clerks and whatnot, so war would be the best thing to do.
The big war would take place on one big planet. For namesake we'll call it "Fujil".
My idea is to have 3 factions in the game. They are:
Humans: Of course, how would a game relate if it didn't have the ol' homos in it? (Homosapians people, grow up! ;) ) Ok, so what's the deal with the humans? Well, the idea would be, to have the 'human' species inhabit a planet other then Earth in a distant galaxy, the technology is pretty advanced too. Phaser guns, mech armor, many enhancements.
These would be your typical humans using innovation to try and stop the other 2 faction threatening their existence.
Spism: The Spism is a race of highly tuned alien species. They are a race who yearn for a mineral in the planet Fujil. They hit the planet in their form of transportation, which is ALL organic. The ships, the weaponry, is all controlled and runs as if it were their 1 big body, however they manufacture their own bodies, and use surroundings such as rock and such if the need be.
The do not have eyes, and they cannot speak English. They communicate through high-pitched echo sounds, similar to the sound dolphins produce. There are translation devices for humans to understand the sounds and produce them in English, but these are highly technological and only given out to certain people by the government.
They do not usually rely on inventions or innovation a great deal like the humans. Both the Humans and the Spism have been feuding on Fujil for many, many years now. The weaponry used by Spism is also organic. Spism have emotion, and portray similar characteristics such as compassion and mercy.
Drones: Dubbed by the Human race as 'Drones' this race calls itself the Ulitalarians and is extremely hostile, more so then the Humans or Spism. This race is a highly technological race, and is still a mystery to both races on Fujil. What they do know is that the Drones seem to be made up of both organic and technological pieces. It uses both machine and organic material to comprise everything it does, and is usually consistent. During the war of 2744 between the Humans and Spism, the Drones hit the planet Fujil and massacred both races. There were little survivors (1000/100,000), and many who made it back died shortly after due to haunting visions, or life threatening wounds.
Many attribute the high success of the Ulitalarians in that war due to the fact they shocked the world. Many of the weapons they use seem to dissipate organic material in a reddish-green gaseous substance, however this does not usually kill neither race but wound them such as a bullet hitting a non-fatal blow to a body.
Drones use their technology and can phase in and out of space, meaning they’re invisible and virtually ‘not there’ when doing this, many believe this is a transition state, such as humans ‘sleep’ when fatigued. This race is very innovative and uses technology the humans nor spisms do not fully understand. Much technology such as a ‘polax cannon’, an extremely powerful handgun that has been made out of stolen Drone technology. It proves very useful in a recent test against Drone soldiers in the Desert Mountains of Fujil.
Each one of the races mentioned are trying to desolate each other and be the sole captures of Fujil. Many advancements have been made on Fujil and new recruits are being clones / produced from all three factions to colonize the planet with their own kind, and to win the battle for Fujil. This planet is huge, smaller then earth but just larger then it’s moon, there are many different types of planets and animals on Fujil that all races must be aware of.

The Game:
The games graphics will be that of Virtual Tennis. I know what you’re saying. WTF? Yes but if you’ve played Virtual Tennis for the Dreamcast, or have it. Please play it, and when in a game turn on the ‘behind the player’ view and you will see how perfect it is for a game like this. Take away the tennis racket, add a gun and some futuristic, lush setting and you’ve got yourself a good basis for a game.
The game itself will start off by you fully customizing a character of your liking. Upon starting the game, you will be brought to a genetics lab for the race you chose. (Ulitalarians, Spism or Homosapians) From here, you will be able to make your character. Lets start with the Human race.
The first thing for you to do would be to customize your characters look. Like No Mercy and WrestleMania 2001 you’d be able to pick from a TON of looks. You’d be able to pick different hairstyles, faces, and facial hair. Once you got the look you wanted (which could be changed may I add by coming back here and paying a cheap fee to get yourself remolded.) you’d then have to pick your body mass. There would be a range of body masses; each would dictate your speed and carrying capacity. If you were 6’ 8” and 500 pounds, you wouldn’t be able to run, climb, or even jump as far as a character who is 4’7” and 120 lbs. However, the pro would be your character would be able to pick up and operate larger guns with less effort whereas the smaller guy could maybe pick up a bigger gun, but be weighed down do to the lack of the balance with his own body mass.
You’d also have to customize animations. There’s be animations for when you’re standing, running, walking, flying, falling, dodging, flipping, jumping, etc. Depending on your mass and height the animations selectable would vary! But you’d be able to FULLY customize your character, not just his/her looks. You’d also be asked to choose a gender as well.
After this you’d be given another option, the option of armor and weaponry. This game would not be heavily based around weaponry, so you could get almost any type of gun. You’d also be given a space age material sleek pole, which is used if you are disarmed in combat. Armor upgrades would come from doing missions and such, but you’d all be given a high quality protective body suit. Getting upgrades later would mean getting chips, which would cause your armor to expand to a more protective state by inserting the chips into your arm monitor, which is basically your option bar, with a friends list and such.
Ok so you’ve made your character and you’ve customized your look. So now it’s time for you to assign your points. Points would be spread out between 4 base categories:
1. Speed, how fast you react and run.
2. Strength, how strong are you. Can you pick up THIS much or not? Also used in hand-to-hand combat or weapon combat.
3. Agility, this dictates how well you can jump and perform aerial abilities. Such as jumping form air units and Para dropping, etc.
4. Endurance, used for long rounds of fighting. Dictates your health as well. How much damage you can take.
After this your character would be finished. You could write a profile for yourself and such. You’d also be given a standardized backpack (you could purchase a new one at the store to carry more) and you’d be placed inside the genetics lab as if you’d just been created. There’s be an information desk to the side, where it would give you a map of the city and world. The city you start in is Old Gwava, the main homestead for the Human race. This town is the only place where you are safe from being attacked by other races or other humans who are convicts. After getting the information you need such as how to put your gun away in town, and not to fire at people in town or you’d be arrested by the NPC police (Police who patrol the town for trouble, it would be fully possible to go on a shooting rampage in this game, but you’d have to face the police of course, perhaps even some villagers who have guns of their own, and eventually if you do not escape the town you’d be placed in jail, then given a bad record or if you’ve repeated your offense several times put in the slums (where the convicts go).
I've got more I just ran out of room. :(
