- the “shooter” part of FPS has to indeed include shootin? Cause you know Portal can be described as an FPS but you don’t actually shoot.

- I would try something different than puzzles. I would make a game based around heavy interaction with characters and the action and story would move forward pushed by the choices of the player and that choices would all be narrative or moral choices. In fact, that would be like 3D interactive fiction (which is usually associated with literary fiction, in this case I suppose it would be associated with film fiction).

In this case the shooting could be kept relevant with story purpose.

- What you’re saying about style makes me think of the astonishing trailer for Mirror’s Edge.

-There are some variations on FPS that I’d like to see:

*A roguelike FPS
*A turn-based FPS
*A good implementation of the second person shooter
*A completely psicodelic non sequitur oneiric FPS

1) Gods can be killed. I agree. They are unbelievably tough, and can only be killed with trickery or inifite force (I just came up with this).
2) Replacing the vulnerability of the player by having to protect other vulnerable entities or conserve ammo would defeat the purpose of being in God Mode.
3) I think Darius hit a major nail on the gameplay…(probably, because he is playing Everyday Shooter too and that puts us in the same vibe) I was, too, thinking about using style as a replacement mechanic for having to protect yourself. Being capable of withstanding brutal aggression is already stylish. So I think this is venue is the most interesting to explore. I can think of a possible prototype for this, involving Bullet ML and ear-bleeding soundtracks. Which means it’s going to take a while to become a reality. Oh well.

And I think that if you are god, in a game ammo should not be a problem, dying obviously shouldn’t be a problem too. Also I wouldn’t put and objective that would give you the feeling that you lose, because god can’t lose (anyone seen dogma?) so if the player loses the opportunity to save someone at some point I’d give him the opportunity to go back in time (because god should be able to go back in time).

Naturally I’m led to think it would be puzzley, like Marco suggested with Portal. Although Portal got rid of shooting as the core mechanic, really. If you wanted to keep shooting the core mechanic you might want to do something that gives you a lot of stylistic expression (a la Max Payne but better).

Expression through shooting style is the only way I can think of to make the shooting element still really matter in a game where you have infinite health and infinite bullets. Puzzles and exploration will de-emphasize the shooting: obviously you could play Deus Ex on God Mode and still have a blast interacting with the environments and the characters.

Inmediately, a lot of testers are seeing the idiot who laughs a lots, lonely on his desk. Thanks for the good moment.

I like to think about smoked stuff before start working so, I think is not so hard do a shooter in permanent god mode, as you say, must be exploratory. To keep shooting, you must unlock new places or zones, by eliminating all enemies (similar to dragon ball sagas for PS2)at the time, you could need do that to recover munitions because you are god, but that not implies to be rich or control the matrix to create infinite bullets. If you need an enemy, well, gods can be killed by other god/s following theories of greek mitology, religion changes in egipt (they killed a god to become lost of god, and then kill the gods to be monoteitas again) and Saint Seiya

cant wait tosee tig games, cant wait for next ghallenge (i’m thinking i will participate) cant wait for 18:00 go home and sit in playstation all night looonnggg (chorus) all niight all night (singer) all night looong

But it´s an interesting thing to think about, what would a god do? I think gods build, destroy and observe, but there is never a threat to them (or they wouldn’t be gods). Like real life for many of us. And most games try to take us out of it.
