I’ve had an idea for a while but I’m not exactly sure how to make it work the way I want it to. The basic idea is that I want a game where not only are there multiple playable characters but each character would have there own game genre. The idea started off as a combination of a personal joke about both Armored Core and Ace Combat sharing acronyms and the fact that I don’t think I’ve every really seen a game where, if it has multiple playable characters, that the gameplay is really that different. Then it snowballed when I started thinking about how that would work and I thought about adding other games like Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil 4, Besieged and Fallout/Elder Scrolls.
I know for sure that I’d want the game to be kind of complex for every character because I also like it when games give you the option to build the character you want to play as and allow character builds to be vastly different. As part of this, the game would also have magic, modern firearms and possibly futuristic technologies while keeping everything balanced so that more “primitive” weapons are still worth considering.
I think that in order for a game like this to work it would have to either be determined by the character as well or possibly just mission based like how the “AC” games are (or at least were, I’ve only ever played the PS1 and PSP games for both of them).
