Hi if your reading this then you must be interested so listen up. I think that there should be more Wild West FPS's okay Desperados is out but its not an FPS. The only Wild West FPS I can think of is Outlaws and though it is actually a good game the graphics could be better, much better. I dont understand why Lucas Arts used the Dark Forces engine instead of the Jedi Knight one. They could make a Fallout style RPG too. Fallout is quite alot like a western actually. If you havent played Fallout or Fallout 2 or Fallout Tactics then you should. so do you think there should be more western inspired games?

Duke Nukem zero hour. That was partially set in the wild west, and they oculd quite easilty have set the whole game there. It's easily doable, I think.

The settings are as limited as your imagination... look at the wild west story we wrote. Eveything from shrines to book depoisitories, bars and all.

You can always add railways and things, too. There's plenty to do in the wild west. It's a whole world out there, you know.

Thing is, where would you base the levels? In all Wild West films, the towns are quite small and the buildings are usually pretty straight foward and boring.

There wouldnt be much variety to the game, is what im trying to say.

Look at a game like GE, there are levels all over the place, on a train, in the snow, in buildings etc etc. The great thing about the game was the variety of levels, all the different locations you got to go to.

If there was a Wild West FPS then it would get repetitive very quickly.

It may be an idea to have some levels of an FPS in a Wild West town, but i dont think many developers would base a whole game there.
