One of the things I'd like to see would be some minor platforming elements... as well as a bit of a deeper combat system. My reply: Ok, what do you mean by minor platforming elements? As in what platforming elements are you specifically thinking of here? Clement wrote: As well, quick-time events, such as those that come up in games like God of War would be a nice touch as well. My reply: I'm not familiar with God of War. You might want to give me a more detailed idea of what yu mean by quick-time events. Clement wrote: There are times in a lot of modern games where a cinema will trigger, as it happens you have to press buttons as the screen prompts you. As an example, in Yakuza 3, when you fight through one of the action stages, you have to dodge enemies with knives that come at you from behind doors as you try and advance. In that instance, a cinema will happen showing the main character opening the door and the enemy coming at him. My reply: Yeah, I know. This is something I'd like to add to my games as well, but unfortunately it is easier said than done. Sometimes it comes down to time and money a developer just doesn't have in order to create a game with that kind of depth. I know, it is a bumber, but I know for MOTA I've been trying for around six months to find enough money to hire a professional actress to do the scenes for the game intro, for special in-game scenes, plus the one where she meets Athena. Problem is I don't have the money to do it professionally. Anyway, doing a scene such as you describe is possible, but it would require decent sound effects, music, and probably some acting to do them right. So a lot of this would largely depend on what kind of budget we are looking at here.
