Would a serial killer game work?

[Damn]

An open world adventure where u play a sick serial killer. U stalk people on the streets, then pull them away/kidnap them and either kill them or torture them. Then u have to hide the bodies/evidence so the police dont catch u.

U can even have a multiplayer mode where one guy plays police and one guy plays the murderer but doesnt know who it is because the player model is a civillian.

What do u think?

[DaveBrawl]

I think it's called Assassin's Creed.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Was there ever a Dexter game?

[Kane Knight]

If they can do it on TV with Dexter you'd hope they could do it in games, but I dunno, imagine coming home from work and your kid brother is on your console setting up their own torture room. Bit dodge. The protest groups would go nuts.

Yeah, it'd draw the double standard that's a given in gaming.

[El Fangel]

Video games already make me do bad things.

[VSG]

Knew this was a DAMN thread.

[The Jayman]

Video games already make me do bad things.

we know

[Damn]

Video games already make me do bad things.

Yeah, like losing in every multiplayer game.

I bet ur average k/d in COD is like 1/978.

[Emperor Smeat]

Postal and Manhunt already did something similar to this before although without the kidnapping part.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, like losing in every multiplayer game.

I bet ur average k/d in COD is like 1/978.

lol burn. u showd dat guy who has a job and a wife how much of a loser he is,,,,

[El Fangel]

Im clearlee a n00b faggotZ LOL

[Damn]

lol burn. u showd dat guy who has a job and a wife how much of a loser he is,,,,

I have a job but having a wife dont make him any better at COD

[Kane Knight]

I have a job but having a wife dont make him any better at COD

Yes, and it's not hard to see who the winner is here. :p

[Nowhere Man]

I have a job but having a wife dont make him any better at COD

It does, however, make him better at life.

[Damn]

It does, however, make him better at life.

No it doesnt just because u have a wife doesnt make u better than me or anyone else. A lot of crappy ppl and losers have/had wifes and a lot of talents/legends was unmarried.

[Ultra Mantis]

Hey Damn, whats your k/d ratio in real life?

[Pintint]

I couldn't even play through Hitman cause I felt sick playing as a "murderer", even though he is killing bad guys. So, I dont think thered be much of a market for this game.

[Kane Knight]

No it doesnt just because u have a wife doesnt make u better than me or anyone else. A lot of crappy ppl and losers have/had wifes and a lot of talents/legends was unmarried.

And you're worse off than the whole lot.

I don't like first person shooters.

So, I don't think there'd be much of a market for Call of Duty.

[screech]

Got eeeeem

[screech]

I wonder how the multiplayer would work.

[Tom Guycott]

What's the difference in playing as 47 or playing as Snake/Sam Fisher besides plot expositon? You're doing the same thing, just one's for "noble patriotism", and the other is basically a merc doing it for a paycheck.

A game like this COULD be done, and done quite well... hell, Dexter would be a great way to implement this (kinda like Telltale's Walking Dead, it could be cannon, but set as it's own season). However, as has been touched on before, too many lazy ass "how'm'I gonna 'splain this to muh kids..." parents will bitch while the game is still in pre-production just from the hype and stigma.

[Pintint]

I don't like first person shooters.

Nah, its because I think a lot of people will feel the same way about a serial killer game.

[dronepool]

^ A rapist or child killer sure, but a good character like Dexter with an interesting story... why not? Is it that different from GTA? I guess it's a bit touchy to some people but it still would appeal to some gamers, hell I never got into games like Call of Duty and Modern Warfare because they seem like some pseudo army humping propaganda but they're still fun to play in demo's or at a friends house.. it won't be that marketable but it can be done very well.

I'd love a game like Dexter using the LA Noir engine. But it'll basically be a guide how to master being a serial killer so it probably won't happen, the closest thing we ever got was Manhunt

[Kane Knight]

Nah, its because I think a lot of people will feel the same way about a serial killer game.

Evidently, you've never played a GTA or TES game.

Fuck, people bitch that they couldn't murder children in Skyrim.

Also, my point was that assuming people think like you is a poor way to rule.

What would really kill it is that it would end up being an AO certification. No store would stock it, no console would run it, and PC players would still manage to bitch somehow about how they were being treated unfair.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wasn't what Damn originally posted about sort of loosely the plot of Manhunt 1 & 2? Or no?

To be fair, I was among one of those that bitched about it in Fallout 3. You could do it in the first two, and it just seemed like pandering to remove it. Also, it wasn't really a "reward" to be able to do so... you got the "Childkiller perk", which wasn't really a perk at all, but a crushing blow to your karma. Even if you wiped one out on accident because they got caught in a firefight.

Plus, it seemed like they went out of their way to make most of the included brats annoying as hell (see Little Lamplight or Republic of Dave), as if to rub your nose in the fact that you couldn't end their sorry asses.

But I digress... yeah, the AO thing is ironically the kiss of death. It was SUPPOSED to be the stamp for games that bore no bones about being marketed to legally mature folks. Instead, it got relegated to the unreleased Thrill Kill and the first run of GTA:San Andreas. Its the NC17 of the gaming market... and that was supposed to do the same thing for movies.

[Damn]

Im still mad Thrill Kill wasnt released it looked amazing.

[stultiloquy]

If anyone knows, it was a PS1 fighting game that was cancelled beacause wusses thought it was "too violent". It was awesome, I remember waiting so hard for it after reading about it in a magazine. But then it NEVER came out :(

So today now that more violent games are accepted, do u think Thrill Kill could be released?
i think it would be amazing. I remember it was my #1 wanted game back then :(

Heres a video from the unreleased beta

So you're still mad about that?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Duh

[Damn]

So you're still mad about that?

YES! Ive always wanted a game where u can beat someone with a torn off arm

[Ultra Mantis]

Then get Die By The Sword for PC.

It absolutely sucks, but I'm sure that doesn't matter to you since you get to beat someone with a torn off arm.

That was the ad for Spawn on PS1. Cool.

And Thrill Kill was cool, I played a bootleg copy of it for my modded PS1 back in the day.

[Kane Knight]

So are you done pretending not to be Iop?
