Let's make a Resident Evil-style game!

[Jlackleon]

Well, I'm bored... and I've been playing with the idea for a while now. But why not try and create a game-concept with the same awesome feel of Resident Evil? Create settings, characters, monsters, bosses... It just sounds so fun.

So... so far, I've just come up with the possible concept of a Zombie/monster virus being released (on purpose) aboard a Cruise-ship. So far, I've never seen any Zombie-game or movie take place on a cruise or a ship... or on sea at all, for that matter.

MUST-READ NOTE:

This is NOT canon. This is not even Resident Evil.

Forget that Resident Evil exists. This is a game that I want to have the same creepy settings and feel of RE, but this is an ORIGINAL game, with original characters, a original world, etc. This is NOT Resident Evil.

And regarding this being an RPG. Well... no, not really. This thread is more like a conference room for the makers (makers = everyone in this thread) of this fictional game. I have NO IDEA if I will ever try to make this game-concept into an actual game somehow... but so far, this invention-thread is all we've got.

So, basically, we invent characters on this cruiseship. We invent backgrounds for those characters. We come up with rooms and places within The Cruiseship. Who leaked the Virus, and why? How will we add an "Umbrella-like" enemy, but without making it a rip-off? What kind of monsters and different types of undead are there?
You know, stuff like that. So, we create the game and its world and characters in this thread... and then I'll see where it'll go from there.

Well, for now, just your ideas. So... the basic concept is up in the first post, now we just need to flesh that out A LOT.

And as a reminder. I accidentally mistyped the title into saying it is a "RE game", but it IS NOT. This is NOT a Resident Evil game, but a game-concept with a original plot, but still with the simular creepy feel of Resident Evil.

I get that this is not a fanfiction, just ideas of how a game could be like if Capcom (or someone else) was to make it.

The idea with a cruise ship is interesting.

Sounds like an RPG, but actually using the actual RE characters.

So, so far I've come up with that there are many different types of Viruses released on this Cruiseship, by a someone. Each Virus turns everyone it infects into some sort of strange Animal-like Zombie... and with some, the virus mutates even more. So for example, there are "The Tiger-Virus", "The Fish-Virus", and many, many more, even such Viruses that turn people's skin in to plant-like material, basically turning them into walking plants slowly but surely.

So, I was thinking that a group of people (civillians, as well as more experienced people) gather in a room, after the first bloodbath. This would be a multi-player game, where if you play alone, you play simply as one of the characters, but if you play with two or more people, you and your friends can choose to take control of any character out of the bunch that you want. There are several groups of survivors, so battles between the groups will occasionally occur. Some groups want to help... some are more greedy. And one of the groups is even responsible for the entire thing, but didn't manage to get off the Cruise in time. It doesn't take our group (the one with the five and only playable characters) much time to realize which of the other selfish survivor groups is actually the one that released the Virus on The Cruise in the first place. That group is lead by an important Corporate-woman in a bloodred knee-dress and leatherjacket ontop known as "Iris" simply (her physical appearance based on Shirley Manson) and another unidentified male buisnessman in a sophisticated black and white (Ying and Yang) suit all the time. So, through this game, we lead our little group of survivors through the Zombie/Monster-infested Cruiseship, trying to survive, find supplies, find safe rooms, occasionally fight against other more selfish and violent survivor groups... and a large part of the game, we (meaning, the group) try to figure out who Iris and the black and white man are, and why their group released the Virus?

So, what kind of gameplay have I imagined? Well, as mentioned, the little group we get to follow throughout the game consists of ten people, while only five of them are actually playable. I'll try and come up with those people soon (off course, Ideas from you all are highly appreciated). I imagined having a mixture between RE4 and 5 mixed with RE2 and 3 as the gameplay. Not a shooter gameplay, but not quite as "overviewing" as RE2 and 3 were. A mixture of the two, simply.

More info coming soon, hopefully. Feel free to post your own ideas or comments.

Its a dead topic. The game is probably not going to be made. Sorry
