The "I have an idea but i don't want to do it* Thread

[InFamous_Roe]

I just wanna give a huge helpful tip to those with an idea, but dont know how to start with it. First, I ask a question. Who on here has ever seen the movie "The Lookout"?

I had a few mission ideas I never got around to making if anyone's interested...

You're back!

I'll try them.

Bumping for an idea I had in this thread: http://www.suckerpunch.com/smf/index.php?topic=227520.msg560187#msg560187

FoB Russian Roulette:

Place some disguised Firstborn in crowded areas and mark some rooftops as waypoints (or maybe collectibles). The player will try to Thunder Drop from the rooftops without hitting a Firstborn. If they make it to the last waypoint without hitting one, they get a congratulatory cutscene. If they hit one, they fail.

Collectibles could be used to keep score. Have players pick up collectibles before dropping. Maybe have a volume activate when the collectible is picked up, and use the 'X' to mark where to drop. Maybe have a way to quit the mission without getting a perfect score.

Anyway, that's my idea for a mission that I'm too lazy to make. If anyone is feeling ambitious, go for it!

A few ideas for that mission -

Instead of just mission fail if you hit a hidden firstborn, let it transform and make it invulnerable to Cole, and make Cole take one-hit-kill damage from it.  This would probably add to the sense of peril in trying not to hit a firstborn.

Instead of a crowd of people and one is a hidden firstborn, have two crowds, and one crowd has a firstborn in it.  It'd also be good if the firstborns were added to a randomly chosen crowd each time the mission starts, so the player still has to guess.

I can write the script XD

This is how you congratulate people:

I'm now tempted to make this mission just to see if I can recreate that trophy with the UGC objects.

I still cant get over that it's a 3 handed trophy..XD

Maybe that game was originally planned for the N64...
