Now, here's a funny thought.

Why is there no animals in games?!

Im on about domestic animals and some others, like, sheep, cows, pigs, snakes, anything!

They could be used to our advantage, such as:

FPS: Run out of grenades? Fetch a cow from outside and push it into a room where it'll get blown in 15million pieces but it gives you enough time, to select a decent weapon, go into the room and get a certain aim on the certain "Target". Allowing you to blow him into next week. (Or her, for sexist people :oP ) The point is this. You used an object and interacted with it. Distracted the target, thus, using it to your advantage. Its weird and wacky. But who cares? Its cool, new, and fresh. And its funny seeing a cow get shot. Well, maybe..

Strategy: All your soldiers or "Blokes" if you would like to call them that. Or, "Butch Ladies" ;o) have all died. Leaving your realm crushed. No fear!! Go find an army of snakes, train them, then take them in a big truck (Or wooden movey thing) get up loads of speed and crash the movey thing into their castle/base and laugh as they all get bitten by snakes. Mwuaha!

Racing: Your neck and neck, for 3 races now, you are starting to crack under the pressure. You gain a few seconds, damn, a heard of sheep!! You know what you should do, beep them, into the opponents path!! The silly sheep all move out the way into the other cars path, leaving you with 15 dead sheep, but more importantly, another person's car crippled. Leaving you to win. Mwuaha!

Fun: Fun games, such as Super Smash Brothers, Tetris, and other things that don't come under the normal category's. Super Monkey Ball etc You could use the, animals. Spiders, snakes, cows, pigs and other alive stuff. You could throw them at your mates or something. Its not normal, but I don't really care!! It would be funny knocking off your mate with a sheep!! Lol!!

Why do I mention this? Bah! I want to see some silly things. Things that will make me remember a game, things that make it distinctive, things that make it stand out from the rest of the crowd. Hell, you don't even have to throw them, I would just like to see more animals and things in the game, and maybe they attack you! Killer Cows!!!!!

It would be fun. I like fun things. I like new things. I like new fun things.

Imagine the convo's at school..

"Dudes! I threw a cow at him the other night!"

"Riight.."

:-D

I have animals used in this way before. Worms. Worms Armageddon. I love that game. But im on about realistic looking animals. That are NOT supposed to be used in this way, but when things get desperate, it calls for desperate measures! But, I don't want to see an overuse of animals, every other frame. Just the odd few, for show, and for destruction. If needed.

(No snakes, cows, sheep, pigs, spiders or wooden carts were hurt in this story)

Lol, one for Meka, "When Animals Attack!"

"Savage sheep run a mock in Counter Strike games!"

Ooo please let someone make be a games designer!

Oh and by the way, in real life, you can't train snakes! So dont get any idea's! ;o)

What about that future GameCube game Animal Crossing???
Although I think it's being re-named to 'Animal Leader'.

With a title like that there HAVE to be animals in it!
And Donkey Kong and co. are ape and moneky type things right??

Sure you can train snakes. You play the little trumpet things and they pop out of baskets and the like..

Hrm..

I think the animal rights guys would be on to you pretty quickly.

And that was a pretty random post..

Cool idea, but random..
