Battle Royale: The movie-The game-The mmo. (Title in progress)
By Fallen189 6 Comments
It's a 32 player online multiplayer FPS. 32 players join a lobby and after a brief cutscene showing their characters arriving on the island and potentially the short tutorial video (like the movie) on how the island works. Next, all players are sent out of the school one by one with their randomly generated backpacks and are set free to wander around the island and get on with the buisness of killing eachother
Game ideas:
Randomly generated vehicles:
Some small vehicles are available like motorbikes or quadbikes. Players will have to scavenge items in order to repair them however. In the interest of balance, players will sacrafice stealth for transportation
Custom characters:
Not exactly revolutionary, but seeing the opening cutscene in the school with your person in between a class of 31 others would be pretty cool
'Exchange students':
Like in the film, the exchange students are present. These could either be computer controlled which is less fun, or two random players can take control of them. Exchange students can have a few perks like more ammo, faster running etc
Customizable timeframe:
The real Battle Royale takes place over 3 days. Players can set how this timescale works at the start of a match. It can range from anything like 3 real life days (tournament mode) to 15 minutes:6 hours or even 5 mins:6 hours for quick games
Backpacks:
Strategy will heavily rely on what weapon you start with. You got a gun? Do you camp outside the school and mow down as many students as you can before your ammo runs out? You got a frying pan? I guess you can cook breakfast (health). Maybe the other students won't want to kill you so much
Realistic wounds:
Take a shot to the leg? Movement is slowed. Took a shot to the arm? Can't use weapons anymore
Spectator mode:
When a player dies, offer them the oppurtunity to watch the rest of the game unfold in a TV-like spectator mode. Afterall, BR is a tv show
Any other ideas? I think this could actually be good if done right. Also, I like the idea of cooking breakfast in an FPS.
