Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Ok, heres a sneak peek for you guys, its only a mockup, and the game will look as good, if not better than what you see here... the problem is, i have a dilema, we could take this game one of two ways, a straight racing game, similar to need for speed, with straight racing, police chases etc. (maybe even take the role of a cop if you wish), or, do we make a new version of spy hunter. Now, the main problem with spyhunter is the number of keys used (left/right, accel/decel, hi/lo gear, machine gun, oil, smoke, missile) and thats way too many keys for the poor little SPV joypad, hence a straight racing game (left/right, accel/decel). The keys could be tweaked for a spy hunter type game of course, with one button for whichever special weapon, and also remove the hi/lo gear change. so, what do you guys think? what you guys prefer to see taking in mind playablity etc.?
Guest Richie M Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Ah thats beautiful m8, i'd prefer a straight racer outta the two option, may i suggest a 3rd? Grand Theft Auto style game ;) edit - you should of made this a poll m8 :lol:
Guest terminater2_uk Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 yep deffo the straight racer :lol:
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 erm, when i created this topic in 'development' there is no option to add a poll :wink: works fine in other threads i think
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 as for grand theft auto, nah, this game only scrolls downward (with a little left/right), the cars dont rotate as such, its basically the same style as spy hunter, with many roads bracnhing off different directions, short cuts etc. another way to describe it would be a top down out run
Guest Richie M Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Ha ha that was timing m8, ok straight racer it is then :lol:
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 One word: Pedestrians. Nothing makes a game better than racing along and hitting the odd old lady with zima frame. Could be goats or something in not city areas :lol:
Guest mashkhan Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Definitely a Spy Hunter type game, a straight racer would be pretty boring. We wanna blow things up! Lots of stunts would be cool as well, gaps in the road which need to jumped/avoided. Road blocks to crash through etc
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 erm, i had already planned jumps, as another of my mockups shows :wink: i dont think a racer would be boring, especially with police etc chasing after you ok, heres a couple more mockups.....
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 hehe, cmon guys, this game will only fit either a racer or spy hunter because of the method of scrolling etc., but, hopefully, we'll make it open enough to tweak to other types of racer, formula 1, moto gp, kart etc. of course these are in the future, but for now its either a racer like need for speed style, or a spy hunter type game :lol:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 I can add a poll if you like midnight :lol: thats if you still can't...
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 do the racer as a start cos that'll be cool and much easier. Then you can always come back and remake the engine in another form for something else. For the racer, are you thinking of branching roads and stuff (even though it's vertically scrolling mainly, choices of roads would be cool.) Stay on the interstate or cut onto that dodgy dirt road and jump some rivers :lol:
Guest fraser Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 How about some 3D racing games? Interstellar Flames has proven that 3D can be done on the phone. A port of Ridge Racer would be amazing, but I think it would be aiming a bit high!
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 OK, poll added. Vote away :lol:
Guest DJHope Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Why dont u make an editor to go with it?
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 yep, branches off, short cuts etc. in fact, if you look top left of the first pic, you'll see the shortcut that takes you to the second pic :wink:
Guest midnight Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 no public editor i'm afraid, and i aint a 3d artist, so no point me thinking of 3d racers :wink:, and also, in comparison, this game will be much easier to make
Guest NederSoren Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 I cant wait to see this game... the pics look very good :wink:
Guest NederSoren Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 oohhh... I was just thinking that, nomather what, it would be fun to have a free ride part :wink:
Guest v_patel1 Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 BOTH, it`ll be amazing anyone one of thm, but racer is better
Guest amo Posted April 2, 2003 Report Posted April 2, 2003 Either seems ok to me, however one idea i have is (expanding on the free ride idea) to have a feature like that in Driver. So you can take a free ride over a city/town. That'd be kinda cool, would make a bit of a break from racing or blowing stuff up. Obviously it wouldnt be on the same scale as a gta size city but im sure sometihing fairly large could be created for us to explore. Maybe include a hidden packages type thing too like in gta 3. Where you free ride over the city and along the way you can collect hidden packages which give u faster cars or better guns etc as soon as you collect so many. Just an idea anyway :lol:
Guest yatpeak Posted April 4, 2003 Report Posted April 4, 2003 I reckon a straight racer would be best, but I'd love a spy hunter game would be great too. Wyatt
