I plan to be a video game developer and I have always wanted to work on making games like resident evil or dead rising but on a grander scale. what things do you guys believe would make a great survival horror zombie game? It doesn't matter how small, like a little addition; any input would be great.

In any horror based game, you could never go into buildings unless you were suppost to. I think it's be awesome to break down doors and rob stores for a real survival game. Like what you would do if the world was over run by zombies.
Thats just me though. So its like Dead Rising but in a city rather then the mall.

well i do have lots of ideas razz
i would love in a city zombie setting being able to hit the pd and gun shops for wepons and ammo
just because a weapon is a bit over powered doesnt me that it shouldt be in the game -shifty eyes- aa12 -shifty eyes- ammo and weapons more linked to real world ammo and gun compatabilitys lots of fire arms melee weapons
chainsaw needs gas well fule mixture realy but that would make it a bit of a pain , but adding harvesting fuel for things like chainsaw and gas trimmers would be interesting
improvised weapons are also a must
oh and i want to be able to blow stuff up i want to be able to knock holes in walls if using a strong enough gun shoot through walls and stuff
plus maybe a range of chars to play as , maybe even a special zombie that is not like the rest razz

I would love to have the game close to realistic but then I bet tons of gamers would get mad because they couldn't get a rocket launcher from their local gun shop ha hah a. Now dispite the fact that I hate them, Do you think it would be interesting to make an MMORPG of zombies? like having to take a character and develop them to live in a outbreak and a persons race "aka black or white* could give them some sort of special ability *no racial jokes now heh* Also I think it depends on what people want. Personally, I want to have it where I can collect civs, form bases, have to collect things to actually survive if an outbreak should happen. I mean mowing down zombies is all well and good but dont at times you think there could be more?

Hmm, an RPG.... its just down the street at the gun shop... GTA?
But I get you Dart, but I think the black man could jump really high and the white man can run and the mexican can climb walls... I think having it sterotype would be funny, but thats just me...
But really, Zombie games are erally the same thing over and over again.. wait.. have you ever played Zombies ate my Neighbor? There you get keys and open doors and stuff, but its from the Super Nintendo.. so I'm not sure if you guys have.

but see thats kinda what I want to move away from or at least try developing it in a different manner heh. what I'm thinking is have some development stuff *like an RTS type thing* combined with the normal zombie killing, for people who like that stuff *like me heh*

zombies ate my nighbors was a great game smile
some gun shops do have weapons they shouldnt but in the way of rpgs i think L.A.W.s would be the most common to find normal rpgs cant be fired in spaces that are to confined cause of the amount of heat and force that comes out of the a** end of them L.A.W. is a one shot rpg , fire it and toss it , in case of a zombie out break the army would be called in to fight them so saying the army got its a** kicked there sould be the ability to find most types of weapons just it may not be easy to do so, and depending of realy how large scale you go with the world you could have over run army bases and such plus in big citys you never know what might be in the evidence lock up in the pd
i think an rpg/fps or rpg/tps would be the best ways to do a zombie survival rpg imho

ok i want to see this part before I go any farther. as you can see I cant really think of special things for the races because my mind is dead today so any imput would be helpful. Also, the step two gives special bonuses but i need to narrow down which nations would be best to pick. Also there can be additional bonuses for job and country mix *i.e. American military gets more endurance or some stuff like that* And jobs is like a class in any other MMORPG.
MMORPG
character development step 1 Races
Black- Better physical ability,
White- better leadership
Asian- higher intelligence
Middle eastern-guerrilla tactic, higher survivability
Latino-faster running,
step 2 country of origin
step 3 job Military Hunter construction police doctor Martial artist Scientist

Dart-dono Faytar, by chance have you been watching futureweapons? oh and really funny joke there ha ha ha. I'm going to type up my ideas for an MMORPG and anything else I can think of then I shall post it here. i watch everything i can about weapons i am a weapon freak smile though i tend to go watch them on youtube razz other then that i look up everything i can on the interwebs hehe plus i own several firearms and swords and knifes and axes and ... lol its a rather large list razz i think maybe scraping the race ability idea to much crying about being rasist will happen about that while letting people pick race just have it be nothing more then appearance make all skills and abilitys linked to job/class that is chosen other abilitys can be picked up as special special skills , from a list paid for with special skill points that players get only at the very start of the game when first making their char allows for chars to be unique, specialy if there is a large list and could there be a job like, deranged paramilitary survival nut , or escaped mental patient? edit- the job country idea was great by the way you can do so much with that idea smile a mmorpg of the full earth suffering the effects of a mass zombie out break would be very interesting smile the beta testers could even be the ones that set up the first safe areas/towns and become npcs in them razz

ya I thought that a whole racist issue would come up. I just wonder, who are the people who complain the most about it? gamers or people who dont even play them? I doubt gamers would b***h much about it heh.
now what I was thinking about the skills was making kind of like a tree. there is a large basic, a sub section, then an even smaller section if the first was too general. For example, I was thinking for the military job to be broken into two smaller parts: weapon proficiency and support. Weapon proficiency would then be broken again: rifles, heavy weapons, and covert ops. Support would have field combat medics and leadership *officers*. I bet this would make things kinda confusing but its just a start. Also, I for see the problem of everyone just picking military to get great combat stuff, so need a way to make the other jobs worthwhile.

well for weapons I was thinking like dead rising, pick up random stuff laying around. Also, I was thinking that as a character uses a weapon they become more proficient at wielding it. this can happen from just straight use in fights or by doing some sort of *paid* training for it. Maybe, in addition, players can learn special skills * I.E. a sword dance* by paying a hefty price, compleating special missions, or as a rewared for a special event *like the horde rush*.
