The 1998 FPS Experiment

[Marcem]

I had an idea today, we all work on a torque game that looks like an old 3D FPS game, we all do what we want, but keep it in a story, and theme, this will be single player and multiplayer, lets think of a theme now.

I think a Sci-Fi thing, with a space marine main character, just to kinda be like those times, so, yeah, let's think of something.

Does this give me a reason to use my copy of TGE that's crying waiting for me to use it?

[Space Guy]

Plot Overview: Your [United/American/Earth/Space/Council/Federation/Committee/Government/etc.] sends you to [stop a generic invasion of a [planet/space station/base]/investigate a mysterious explosion], then something [goes wrong/happens and you give chase to an enemy who disappears], which leaves you stranded with all teammates dead, with only your Generic Gun/Laser Weapon while you try to find a way to [escape/rid the planet of [robots/a virus/aliens]/destroy the enemy you saw earlier].

Here's an idea to make it 1998ish, You got sent by your ambassadors to blow the stuff out of everything on a planet.
The end :D

You need an army of Pikachu to defeat the Bulbasaur
Only one problem
BULBASAUR BEATS EVERYTHING

To make film look 1998ish you just need to remove the odd frame, and add some brown.

In-short: Choppy animations, brown.

Stuff like Hercules and Xena just had shades of brown, not other colours.

Not much has changed.    @tails I'm trying to just mod the demo, we don't need the source code.  @Aph Yeah, pretty much.  @Space, I'm leaning towards your idea.

[Illidan]

Not too scifi-y. Why not something like...

You're a [mercenary/marine/space marine] that is sent to [underground place/space/hidden base] by [government/boss/job/country] to [destroy/kill/help/rescue] something. When you get there you see [something] [something] [someone].

You start out with a Deagle, and along the way, reinforcements are sent and they can help you whenever you meet with them.

i dunno if that would work, but i think it'd be nice to play :D

[Wedge]

Your are a [insert nation intelligence agency here] operative sent to investigate a town suspected of manufacturing biological weapons in the Soviet Union. You get off a train, and check into a hotel. When you wake up in the morning, everyone has turned into zombies (The lab you were supposed to be investigating forgot to change an air filter and leaked a virus out that turned everyone into zombies). You need to fight through the city (against zombies and soviet troops sent to contain the outbreak). Eventually the Soviet Union issues an evacuation order. You steal a helicopter and fly out, the city is nuked behind you. The Soviet Union covers up the zombie outbreak as a nuclear plant meltdown. You return to your country where they begin work on a vaccination against it and are entered into an equivalent of the witness protection program.

Weapons range from shovels, pipes, roostertails and other imporv weapons to various military weapons.

There also has to be a battle where you blow up a tank with a molotov roostertail, perhaps as a mid-game boss, and a scene where a statue of Stalin is some how blown up (omg foreshadowing).

[Illidan]

Wedge made the best one.

It shall be called Viral Epidemic.

Your a [marine/light infantry] sent to [name of small island] to go destroy a dictators nuke facialty, and fight along side fellow soldier.

I'm gonna do it Half-Life style, not Serious Sam or Quake those are half-3D.
