GI JOE - FPS using doom 3 engine

[TechBoyJK]

well, im dreaming. but being that i grew up with hundreds of GI joes and tons of supplemental gi joe toys, i think its about time that someone make a GI JOE game that is as hardcore as quake4/Farcry/Halflife2. Farcry was a dream world to me, the capabilities of the doom 3 engine are sick, and the combo of the engine/world of halflife left me stunned. Imagine this, you can pick your character (ooooo storm shadow or snake eyes). if it was carefully crafted, had like 80 characters, and each had their own style of fighting (some could be more melee than weapons), i think it would be an amazing experience... Maybe some story modes based on some of the characters, but i think the coop/multiplayer world would end up like a GI JOE sandbox and a bunch of little kids, lol

Did anybody else have those days as kids (i'm 25) where a couple of your friends would come over with all their gi joes, and you would turn an entire room(s) into a GI Joe battleground? lol....

I think GI Joe would fit best in Farcry.

I use to have sprawling Transformers - G.I.Joe brawls with my brother back in the day. It was way cool.

And I second Malak's post.

well, we'll have to see how the new cry engine comes out. I would say cry 2 is the engine that will be meant to compete with doom 3/source. Honestly, far cry beat doom 3 and hl2 to the punch, imho. i mean regarding fps with that level of detail. now that doom 3 and hl2 put theirs out, the developers of the cry engine can see what is there and make it better. I have high hopes for the next far cry. Especially after seeing what they did for Far Cry on the Xbox.

I think Farcry was 10x better than Doom3 and HL2 IMO. The game was more fun.

I wouldn't mind a G.I. Joe vs Transformers game based on the UT2k7 engine where there would be 3 modes of play... JOE and Auto vs Cobra and Decepti, JOE and Decepti vs Cobra and Auto and Man vs Machine. There would be 3 differnt story lines in single player mode, it would play out in open battlefields as well as espionage missions in bases and platform levels similar to metroid prime.

Multi player would be a mix between Gundam and call of duty 2. Wouldn't be hard to do since they are owned by the same company... too bad it would never happen.

thats f'n awesome... i was thinking almost the exact same thing today.. joe vs transformers, and the different story lines that could be made up.... yea, gundam and cod2.... gundam for the transformers elements and cod2 for gijoe... haha....

on the ut2k7 engine would be nice.... A level built to be like that one transformer city toy would be sweet...

It already does compete and it could be argued that it is a better in many respects. The CryEngine as it stands now holds it own and has several advantages over D3 and Source, but D3 and Source also have some advantages of their own.

The two engines that are going to destroy everything, IMO is the new CryEngine and UT2K7 engine... Both are incredable... Perhaps the UT2K7 is going to get my vote after seeing some of those recent screenshots.

I think FarCry competes plenty well with HL2. It does on my system, anyway...

I was never meant that it doesnt compete, but that the engine that should be judged against HL2, and doom 3, should be the new cry engine..... however, after reading some stuff, that actually might not even be fair.... I hear the new cry engine is going to be sick...
