And it's mine!
A bank robbing/general heist game. Each different level is a different set-up that requires you to infiltrate different locations, avoid/take out guards, set up electronics, lay traps and bluffs, shimmy through air vents, avoid laser beams, all in the style of Oceans Eleven.
Just imagine how cool a game like that could be. Breaking into a casino vault. Choosing five men to take part, all with different abilities eg. small chinese guy fits through vents, big knucklehad knocks out guards, dweeby guy is good with electronics, pickpocket can steal keys and paperwork, charming guy can distract people... it's a classic waiting to happen. Add several different ways to complete each break-in and you've yourself a winner. You could even break up different heists into different locations by nicking bits of equipment from elsewhere.
Nick the best bits from Splinter Cell, throw in a bit of M:I-style action (lowering yourself through air vents etc.), a few Bond-style gadgets and you've got a class-A game. Obviously the game would have to be fairly difficult, and you'd fail the first few times, but once you get to learn people's routines, find passwords and codes, disguise yourself as key employees etc. you learn each level.
Man, this game would rule. Like Splinter Cell but set in Vegas without Michael Ironside. All ideas are copyrighted to me, mofos. As far as I know, a game like this has never been created, that focuses solely on the break-in side of things, so it'd be fairly fresh and original.
And yes, I did just watch the Parole Officer.

Meh, film's not all that, but it has some great Sellers-esque moments in it, particularly the crisp-eating sequence and the final scene.
"I can't believe there's still people talking at the back"
I'm off to watch Ocean's Eleven to crib some ideas. The only thing that'll stop me from world domination is some git watching Ocean's Twelve when it comes out and going 'wow, that'd make a great game...'

That's a class bit of decision making by WB. It's like Mary Kate & Ashley suing Acclaim for 'running the game francise into the ground'. Haha.

Not seen Parole Officer, but you being so excited after watching it makes me want to.
And as for the idea itself, that would actually be superb.
Get Warner Bros. to make it. Now the developers only get paid or whatever if the average review score is over 70%, they'll make it decent.
Call it 'Heist'
Call it 'Heist'

If the publisher secured the movie license it wouldnt matter. Although you would have to call it oceans eleven/twelve. But its the best name weve got so far.

The moment I read the first (well, 2nd if we're being pedantic) line, I thought "He just watched the Parole Officer".
I love Coogan.

Johnny Criminal and his Break-In Buddies?
Edit: I'm convinced this could be the best game ever, and might even draft up a proper run-through. Characters, levels, objectives etc. Only problem is, it's going to be a complete rip-off of Ocean's Eleven. I'm sure Warner Bros won't mind.

What would you call it though?
