Ahh...I had an idea for a "We're Alive" game as well, played in the style like a Call of Duty, Halo, or even like Left4Dead, but a little more basic...(this would obviously be more of an expensive version of the game, like maybe it could be optioned by a game company)
First off: The game would begin with a cutscene,
Michael getting the phone call at school from
Angel, and him driving, witnessing the first zombie attack, and getting to the base. Basically til the point where they are in the vault. Then, the game would progress into Mission 1: Escape from the Base.
Then the game could progress in the same fashion (mission by mission), but I think it would be cool if there was a "tag-team" like option. Let me elaborate: No one goes on missions alone in the story, therefore, you'll always have at least one NPC on your team...what I'd like to have is the option to switch between the
characters at will during Player One gameplay. Let's say you're low on health, or get stuck away from the other character...We've all seen the horrors of an AI-driven NPC, and I think this would solve it: Tag out and select the other character that's with you, and control them (then the character you first selected would become the NPC).
Each character would also have a special skill, or ability. For instance,
Riley's bow won't miss unless you're not aiming at a zombie, but the damage is conditional on where the zombie gets hit. Or
Saul will toss you a health item when you need one,
Pegs throws a flowerpot (distraction item?), etc. (I know that this part sounds similar to other games like the ones I mentioned above, but work with me here)
Interwoven into the missions, there would be audio segments from the show, maybe outlining the beginning of each "chapter."
Basically, my idea would be like a video game version of the show, but with a couple of side quests, (like maybe a
Skittles mini-game, or a Mr. Whiskers side mission to escape the...you know what.) Also, in the "Tower" there would be secret rooms to get into to get upgraded weapons, and maybe a first-person "Rat" side quest (that way the identity of the person is still secret).
I don't know what you guys may think about this, but I thought it would be pretty damn awesome if we got a big-platform "We're Alive" game.
