Culthir’s Ultimate Game: World War INFINITY

What is your favorite video game, and why do you like playing it?  While your answer may differ from others, I believe everyone can categorize their favorite as one of three different types.  First, would be an online narrative game such as LOTRO or WOW.  Second, online combat games like Halo 3, and lastly, would be what I call non-online campaign games.  This would include all sports games and FPS—my two favorite being Resistance and FIFA.  So, as our class has shifted gears and started to design a video game, I have been thinking about what would be the ultimate video game.  Since I enjoy all three types of video games mentioned above, I would (if I could) design a video game that incorporates all three types.

 

I envision that in WW∞ a player will not only have a keyboard to operate with, like in LOTRO, but also, he or she will have a PS3 like controller to move avatars.  The reason behind this is very simple.  Resistance is fun because you get to control the actual movements of your character, but the restraints of the game do not allow you to character build like in LOTRO.  Furthermore, in LOTRO you decided when your avatar shoots an enemy by pressing a button; however, you do not control the actual shooting like you do in Resistance.  The duel controls will always a player to do both kinds of controlling.

 

Now that you have the ability of enhanced control and of building your character, how does the online-Halo-3 aspect come into play?  Simple, grab your PS3 like controller and take your character into the battle zone.  WW∞ would have specific zones in which constant battle would be going on; there would be an infinite number of wars (Haha).

 

Let me explain how the game would go.  The big idea is that there are two continents at constant war.  At the beginning of the game, a player chooses from one of two continents and one of ten different nations in that continent.  The player then picks what type of character they soldier they want to be, for example a sniper.  There would be quests to build your shooting and hiding abilities.  Kill twenty boars from 1000+ yards, play hide-and-go seek and not be found, and adjust your scope in less than twenty seconds could be some of the different quests and tasks a player does to become an elite sniper.  Now that a player is a sniper they can go into battle and earn more XP.  The possible quests are endless!

 

My new life calling is to create WW∞, and make it the number one rated video game of all time!
