So I have the Best Idea Ever for a Game

Basically, you start the game in the ninth circle of hell, having no memory of mortal life or why you're being punished. And you have to go through the nine circles of hell to find out who you are, why you've been sent to hell, and how you can, or indeed if you can, earn your redemption and place in heaven. And it'd be an action-rpg.
Each circle of hell has a boss character, and you get two party members to assist you at any time, with one party member to be found in each circle. These boss characters would be historical figures, or figures from the bible. The Marquis De Sade would be the Lust circle's boss, and Judas Iscariot or Brutus could be the Traitors circle's boss.
Party members could be Benedict Arnold for the Betrayer's circle. Of course, you could invent characters where needed, like a person who beat a few people to death with his bare hands from the Wrath circle.

probably a boring as shit game though
So many shades of red.
edit: the pay-off, you say? as in the end-game?
Well, through a morality system in-game, you can choose whether to be on the path to redemption or to embrace your hellish fate, and this'll give you special powers and eventually a unique ending. say you're good, you'll recieve divine inspiration to defeat your foes with holy relics and scripture, and if you're evil you'll earn demonic powers
The end-game is probably something like YEAH I GOT INTO HEAVEN AND CAN REDEEM MY WRONGDOING or I AM YOUR GOD NOW, DEMONS, AND YOU WILL BOW TO MEEEE.
Surely, you jest.
it's the execution
But I need to wait several generations because I hate multi disc games and this game would probably be huge
It's a squadbased shooter, but you can either play it like a squad based shooter or more in the vein of halo/CoD
You are part of a team of like five or six guys who are top of the top of the cream of the crop
Everyone in the world is at war with the U.S., and the first half of the game is your team going through each major war and battle in history to learn their philosophy, techniques, etc
Then the last half is a huge futuristic war and it will be awesome
It's about a cop on a case that hit stoo close to home and he somehow finds out he can travel through time into his own body if he shoots heroin, so he keeps going further and further back in time in order to try and make the past better.
Equal parts Heroes and The Butterfly Effect.
Titties and Beer: THE GAME
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
is that game really that awesome? i'm really close to buying it but i just don't know
where a dude gets sent to hell just as renovations are complete and all the circles are updated to better reflect modern times
like Lust was a constant party full of really horny sluts which seems great at first but after a few hours you start getting super sore etc
dude has to go down to Satan and convince him that he doesn't belong in Hell
at the end Satan decides he's right and sends him up to heaven which the dude finds indescribably boring
it was called "Welcome to Hell, We Have T-Shirts" I think
it could be exactly what you're talking about!
STEAM!
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
You obviously betrayed someone close to you.
someone is already making this game
and doom 2
STEAM!
And he'd probably know. Dude talks to god like all day.
Anyway, yeah, I thought about that actually. The Dante's Inferno game could turn out just like that and then I will be happy as a clam if they do it well.
I wish they'd make a game out of that.
Well yeah, of course. Either that or a suicide or some kind of super-surprise twist ending, like you commited some kind of horrible war crimes and betrayed your country's trust or something.
well he's trapped in a lake of ice and when he beats his wings to get out he freezes it even further
yeah. i don't remember what it's called but they've got a shit ton of historical battles in the game and some ridiculous number of weapons from different periods of history.
like they pretty much made serious sam but with a different dude
No he means that's the ninth circle in Inferno
Now they're pretty-much making my dream a reality so there's no need for dreams anymore. 8-)
A GAME LIKE REPUBLIC COMMANDO
BUT LONGER THAN THREE HOURS
MIND BLOWN
wouldnt that be what they wanted?
i think a better approach would be instead of evil people from literature or history, how about angels or good people from history that try to stop you from passing through each circle? bercause for some reason or another you deserve to be there and they dont want you breaking free
STEAM!
