Just a quick warning, this topic is massive. But, it will only take 10 minutes away from your precious lives…

I have an idea that is would make me say “Cool” and would have such overwhelming power it would control me and make me go to a local games store and buy the game, even if I had to buy the console as well. That’s how good this game is.

This game would be rated 18 because you can be very violent.

You start off, in either 3rd Person or 1st Person view that can be changed at any time. You start, as a child. With only limited movement and not much control over what happening. This bit would be slightly boring. BUT because the game is so god damned good it would not be boring at all. There would be added dangers such as other “Bad” Children, parents, toys and “Slippery” things dotted around your house.

You would have a few different bars. A bar with only a little inside would be your health. One for your tiredness, one for food and one for energy maybe a one for how full you were, how sick, how ill, and if you need the toilet or not, you would have to press a button to get this bar up other wise you would have like 20 bars all over the screen. Maybe another bar for cash? You would also have a bar for relationships, like the Sims do. If you ate food, your food bar pops up and shows you how full/empty it was. It is obvious that you will need to keep these bars topped up quite high or you will be finding yourself getting slower and a blurry screen.

The life bar would have 2-3-? Stages. If you got beat up pretty bad the bar would go down and you end up in hospital. But, if it goes down into the “critical” stage you die. And have to restart from your last save. Which is every year by the way :o)

You control when you eat, and when you sleep but there will be a point where you will just either die of starvation of drop to the floor. If you were outside mind you, you could get abducted (As a kid) or run over. Or even the cops picking you up ;o)

While a child you can go up to your Mum or Dad and a few things will come up on the screen like.. Press A to ask for food, Press B to cry for attention, Press C-Right to hit, Press C-Left to cuddle. And so on. There would be these things coming up depending on what you went up to. Then the controls would change. But you can touch almost everything. Which would need a very big DVD disk or perhaps a couple. Yes, I think a couple would be needed. A disk for each part of you life. Child, Teen, Adult, Gramps ;o). The data would be saved on a memory card. So if you had a criminal record in “Teen” you would still have a record in “Adult”.

A child would be up 13. Teen you see :o) Teen would end at 20. Adult would end at 60. Then the gramps age starts :o)

As a small kid, you would have to wait until you were 4 before you could go to school, you make different friends, work in lessons, eat at lunch, go up for the school football team, get a detention for being late. The possibilities would be almost infinite. You do what YOU want to do. You want to give a teacher some cheek? You move round and focus on the teacher for a few seconds and those options would come up. Like, Press A to answer question. Then you would be given a type of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire interface, giving you options to choose from. A,B,C,D. Or what ever. Or even leaving a space for you to enter a date or a name of something.

As I was saying. You could give them cheek. Press B to shout abuse. You would then proceed with giving them the ‘ol two fingers and the F Off being said. Resulting, more than likely to get a detention, but turning up to it is a totally different matter :oP. Not going to a detention would result in a bigger detention and then you would get a phone call home. Your parents could shout at you and kick you out, leaving you to fend for yourself at 11. But, that’s up to you. You could even pull out the phone and mash it with a hammer and then you wouldn’t get any phone calls :o)

You could bully some kids, or even get bullied. Depending on how you chose to be earlier. If depends on what food you eat and how much excersise you do will depend on how fat/fit/thin/unfit/lazy/sleepy you were. Eat loads of chocolate with that money you stole earlier will result in you being fat, but big and strong for you age, which depending on how you feel can be either used for good or bad.

I’m not sure on how to like add time to it. If we did it like real life it would be to slow, and absolutely rubbish. So maybe we could have like an hour in the game would be a minute in real life, or something like that. This would have to be fiddled with. Maybe a Zelda type of time? It goes fast, but you can still do everything. Rare magic there again.

If you are good, your parents might buy you something, like a present, maybe your favourite toy or something.

I have missed out a lot of things in this Child age but you can see that it would be like real life. If you want to be a bully, you be a bully. If you want to get a job and buy a new bike, you can. You can do what ever you like.

Teens:
Teens. Smoking! A girlfriend, a boyfriend, hormones flying around you like nobodies business. Same as child but you can have sex! Yep that’s right. But remember to use protection or her 6’5ft boxing brother could be after you. You will be able to see movies and buy a car. Drive a car. Drive a motorbike, but then, you have tax and fuel to buy. You would however be the coolest kid on the block :o)
A wide selection of jobs is now available and you can even get a hooker, have a massive gang bang with all your mates and get absolutely wrecked. You could buy a house.

Buy a gun, shoot some cops, get arrested and get life in prison. Can this stop you? Oh most certainly not. There will always be some other person to help you try and break out.

You can do what you like. Whenever you like, with whom you like. WHATEVER. Shops open and close, cops patrol the street, footy games are played. Telly’s are watched, and broken. This game, would be near infinite. You can even try to sneak into a tattoo parlour and choose a tattoo then go home and either show your parents or hide it and hope they don’t see it :o)

Adult:

Ohh this is where the fun starts. You can play it cool and get a nice cushy job and enjoy the high life, OR Nick a bus, ram it into a Gun store and pile in the various weapons, then go on a massive rampage, GTA style. You could run forever and become a fugitive or, run, get caught, then just before they arrest you, rip open your T-shirt that you selected from home, or more like the store and let them all feel you wrath when you blow yourself up.

All things from Child and Teen mode will be available but you will be faster and stronger and people will respect you more, but, will see you as a bigger threat (Gangs) and have a mob chase after you. But they will soon all be facing the ground when you pull out your mighty Machete and start hacking legs and arms off left right and centre.

Gramps:

Watching your grandchildren grow up and become famous superstars would be truly magical. But, we are all mad, wrecking loving criminals aren’t we? If you have survived it this far without getting killed you are truly elite, and you shall pass away peacefully. Thus, ending a great career. Of Crime :o) The game would only be completed when you pass away, NATURALLY.

But, basically this game would be crime related, trying to get you to get into the life of crime and if you didn’t, and you got up to about 40 years old without even having a parking ticket. Hackers will change your police “Clean” record and make you the biggest, killing, dealing gangsta in the world. So you WILL have to run :o)

This, is in the far future because to fit “Child” mode on one disk would take about 5Gb. So that’s 20Gb all together (4 Disks) I only know of a disk about 1.5Gb size… So, look at for massive games like these with about 200 hours worth of gameplay then ask yourself who thought of this? Me :oP

After much drooling, a couple of new eyes, and many abusive words about how long this topic is, you will be asking where I got this idea from or when is this game coming out.

Well, sorry to break this to you, its just my idea. But I can…. Make a copy for you…. If you are willing to shell out £100 quid….
;oP

Thanks for reading all this topic. You best of read it all or I will be round you ‘ouse with me “Cru”

;o)

Cheers. Well, its not a monster :o) But its my longest topic so far to date. Well, yes, I mean we couldn't fit all that on a few disc's it would get boring, but I didn't want the gameplay to be basically a rip off of the GTA series.

Ah well, dreams are the stuff of things are made of. Or something like that :o)

Very interesting idea, and I think it would make a truely amazing game, but I agree with Meka, it's probably too immense to ever be an actual game. Not for a while anyway.

But we can dream. {:)

And you call that a monster?? Bah, read my new short story, which will be up tomorrow morning!! (hopefully)

Some people might say a game based on real life would be dull, but if you were free to do whatever the fun you feel I can't see it being a problem.

Probably too immense to ever be a real game though!
