Ideas for a unique Zombie Fps.

Hey, I know a lot of people want to make a zombie Fps game. Well Im one of those people. But I would like to make an Fps zombie survival game,but I would like to make one that is unique.I was hoping that if someone has any ideas of a unique zombie survival, please post your ideas.
Thanks! :smile:

So you want other people to give you ideas and then steal them? o.O

BE THE ZOMBIE

Spread the pathogen avoid getting shot at by trigger happy commies

This

Make a zombie game which uses arrows to move the crosshair TRUE PANIC!

I like the idea of YOU being the zombie. You have to go into an urban city, spreading the infection, and try to keep your limbs from being blown off by avoiding, and even attacking, the police, or the army or whatever.

That actually has been done before ā†’ Stubbs the Zombie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cldy1ILcd4s :slight_smile:

Iā€™d like a zombie game which plays in the 14th centuryā€¦ there was this one thing which has been covered up by the Vatican for all this timeā€¦ the Black Death didnā€™t just kill all those poor people, they came back as zombies! Whaaa!

This never works. Games where you play as zombie are boring. Its just that simple.

There is a game already made where you play as the zombie and back when it came out it was fairly enjoyable and humorous. I actually wanted to make a zombie game at one point in which you would play as the zombie inspired by this game and due to the fact of there being tons of zombie survival games and not many of you playing as the zombie

Well the game is called: Stubbs The Zombie you should look it up as some of you may still enjoy it.

The reason I never got around to making a game similar is due to not have friends that wanted to get in on it too lol I eould love to see someone produce it though as I would play it for sure Stubbs was amazing when it first came out lol

trust me. anything zombies is NOT original.

Yeah. Do you know whatā€™d be unique?

ā€¦

Wait for it.

ā€¦

Donā€™t make a zombie game.

Yeah. Make a fantasy game. No wait, thatā€™s been done to death. How about a WW2 shooter or sim? Has that ever been done. Let me think. Yep. How about some sci-fi shooter? I bet no one has ever done that before. No, Iā€™m wrong. Oh, I know, I bet no one has ever made a game where you get to be a crime lord. Whatā€™s that? Been done? I bet a civil war game has never ever been made. There have? French Revolution? Done as well you say? How about a hunting or fishing game? What do you mean thatā€™s been done too? How about a game where a giant gorilla throws flaming shit at you? Are you telling me someone made a game where a gorilla throws flaming shit at you? Wow. Oh I know, how about a game thatā€™s just like life only itā€™s not. Itā€™s a game. No one would ever make a game like that. Wait, thatā€™s been done as well?

Point is, youā€™re not going to come up with an original idea. Itā€™s in the details that originality shines.

Aliens vs. Predator had a mode where 1 person spawned as an alien and 7 as marines, and if he killed a marine they would respawn as an alien. The marines would win if there were still any marines after a time limit. It was a really great gametype in an otherwise mediocre game. Would probably work pretty well with zombies.

There is of course the Left 4 Dead series too, which is quite fun IMO, but doesnā€™t have that infection element.

Thats like telling hollywood not to make conan the barbarian, or a new batman film. Itā€™s not realistic is it?

Iā€™m proud to report that the Call of Duty series is no longer being developed thanks to this thread.

Oh wait, never mind. It still makes money.

Just because they make a new one doesnā€™t change the fact that itā€™s not original. :confused: Sure itā€™d make cash, but thatā€™s for the ā€œIdeas for a Money Making Zombie FPSā€

Iā€™m playing Dead Island on the PC right now and as almost everyone knows by now, they actually shipped the developer version of the game that contains stuff like No Clip, item/zombie respawn, and even a 3rd person view mode. Then I saw this thread again and thought ā€œHey, maybe this is a unique idea by the guys who made the game, they actually just sent out the dev build for everyone to mess with as nobody else seems to have done it before!ā€ lol!

Thatā€™s actually pretty cool!! Although the game doesnā€™t look that good to meā€¦

I am surprised by how many sock puppet accounts Peter Molyneux has on the Unity forums.
