What kind of game would you like to see Penny-Arcade make?

**THIS THREAD HAS BEEN EDITED AND MADE ANEW BY Ramius (Original post hidden in the spoiler tag)**


I hope after this game is over, that if Sir Gabe and Sir Tycho decide to work with any type of game developing company to create a new game, that they make a 2D Point & Click, a la LucasArts Point & Click games (Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island series, Sam & Max, Indiana Jones...) or some non-LucasArts Point & Clicks (Such as the original Clock Towers (Great horror P&Cs) or Broken Sword)

What sort of game would you like to see the Penny-Arcade characters in?




As misleading as the topic title may be, I'm not trying to use this board as an introductory thingymajigger.

I'm a GameFAQer. Been one for going on 8 years now. I know the way forums work.

Anyway, on to my point:

What would you guys actually like to see in this game?

Also, to be quite honest, I hope after this game is over, that if Sir Gabe and Sir Tycho decide to work with any type of game developing company to create a new game, that they make a 2D Point & Click, a la LucasArts Point & Click games (Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island series, Sam & Max, Indiana Jones...) or some non-LucasArts Point & Clicks (Such as the original Clock Towers (Great horror P&Cs) or Broken Sword)

...

Then again, then it'd have to be for the PC only. Unless they wouldn't mind making one for the Wii as well.

Either way, it'd be...fun....right?

...

Meh. Like Sir Gabe and Sir Tycho ever read these boards. And if they do, like they'd ever read this particular post. Pfft. My chances are greater of finally getting CJayC to post at RI.

I love writing short stories.

    A Penny Arcade the game that has all styles inside of it at the same time or one after another. Figthing, RPG, Rot3K style, Zelda action style, Dynasty Warriors style, first person shooter style and stuff like that... Basically, everything. Picture them running into 1000 weird security guards and beating them up. Then going hack and slash with a few guys and then having a big war with units and then having 1 on 1 fighting, fighting game style. Then having a romantic moment where they have to read a lot of story and do some RPG style. lol... Then go fishing, play some sports and whatever.

    That is my dream Penny Arcade game... a game with a little of everything in it.

    A thread OP (original post) is meant to clearly convey the question and get a discussion going, no more. Also, saying 'olol im from gaemfaks' here is akin to admitting you are an idiot, since they have a reputation here. Furthermore, ranting aimlessly at the end of your post is best served for SE++, not a game discussion forum. We have higher standards here than what you might be used to.

    I went to sleep after I posted in this, did it just turn into a dozen "Yuo Sux." posts or what? I'm curious because whatever it was appears to be completely gone. :P

    Another tip for the OP: The most important part of a forum post is the same as the most important part of an email: The subject. Short and to the point == awesome. Lots of HERRO, HERRO! == sucks buckets of nuts.

    I'm..just gonna pretend that I never did anything wrong.

    Anyway, for the Fruit ****ers, do you think they'll be the most basic enemy in the game? I mean, in pretty much every RPG, there's a "basic enemy" that you start out on. Not all have it, but most do, from Kingdom Hearts with shadows and Dragon Quest/Warrior with "Slimes"

    On another note, I noticed that these particular Fruit ****ers are different from the modern kind. Do you think we'll ever see another type of Fruit ****er, or the modern kind anywhere?

    Given that the setting of this is supposed to be kind of in the '20s I don't think they'll have the regular style Fruit Fuckers in it anywhere. The one in the trailer intro was pretty much the same as a modern looking one, but it would have been hard to get all the detail on it and have it look decent, so I'm assuming that there's only the 1 kind, just different sizes.

    I think the sidescroller would be awesome.

    I'd actually love a CTS game that was set in something like a mix between Bushido Blade and Dynasty Warriors. Bushido blade style combat for lethality and realism and Dynasty Warriors style movement and gameplay (although obviously you wouldn't be slaying groups of thirty enemies at a time) and then to top it off give it a well written story and some RPGish character growth.

    What would be really neat to see is a few installments in sidescroller mode that fleshed out the CTS universe a little and then a full on Bushido Blade/Dynasty Warriors RPGish game.

    I want the 2D point and click!!

    I grew up on those and would love to see them make a come back! ..Kinda like the Simpson's movie. Sure they could do it with all these "special effects", but they were like screw everyone and made a hour and a half (or maybe two hour) long episode with virtually no difference to the regular show.

    I say the next game be like Day of The Tentacle, The Curse of Monkey Island, or Full Throttle. But with PA characters based off their comic strips instead of something new! That way it will feel more like the comic strips, and allow more "artistic" freedom IMHO.

    I want to play a katamari damacy/sonic the hedehog/house of the dead hybrid wherein I somersault around a mall, knocking over zombies and adding to my gradually enlargening writhing mass of the undead. Also I want to get points for bouncing the zomball into planes and eventually satellites.

    You could spend the entire game avoiding characters from penny arcade while we attempt to stack a large enough pile of zombies to be able to ignore them. Then they could get trucks and spaceships and stuff.

    Also bikes and titties.

    Here's an idea: a games that's really a *bazillion* games in one! See, here's how it works: You start out with the choice of playing x amount of games and after you beat one, another x amount of games are unlocked. Every time you play a game, also, you get "faction points." The points can be either given or taken away from "Gabe Faction" or "Tycho Factoin" and depending on how many points you get with who you can get different unlockable content. It could exactly follow the comic, or whatever ... for instance, Halo 1 spoof game would lose you points for both people, RPGs would +Tycho points etc. That way, you can include all the cool-ass game ideas (which wouldn't all be able to be made into a full sized game anyway). Stats tracked online between all three next gen systems.

    EDIT: Huge overarching story ensues.

    That's not second-person. Second-person is "you." I'm the first person, you're the second person, that guy over there is the third person.

    You don't learn about it because it is a LOT more rare to see something written in that form, because it's weird to refer to the reader as a character. The only example I can think of are those old Choose Your Own Adventure books.

    Also I suppose that would technically mean that most if not all games are in fact second person.
