I dont know about you guys but i seriously dont think a sky diving game is the right direction. IMO it wont make many sales.
The main target for such a game would be for....well leechers (like me Very Happy).

People might aswell spend 2-3x more and get the real experience. Something that you wont forget 2 months after. Smile
Ive tried it 3 years ago and i can still remember the feeling once i got to the ground. Simply one of the best things ive ever experienced Smile

Yeah it's great, also scary.
Ofcourse you cant compare it to the real thing on a game though, but it would be a lot of fun.
I love sky diving but i hate jumping out of the plane, i love planes too. will get a PPL some day but jumping out is the one thing i HATE

Skydiving? mhhhh I can't imagine what kind of gameplay you would want in this.... I think grabbing gems floating in the air as you go might be very very boring.... plus there are nearly no other objects to have collisions so what else you want to do? Extreme skydiving through a cavern hole?.

I agree about the lack of games genre... racing and FPS are everywhere these days.
RTS had a small pause this year but I'm sure they will come back better than ever.
RPG I can't say they are missing only on PC,... there are not much more RPG on console, a bit but not much. Still they are coming, i'm anger to see oblivion and gothic3.
Sport games, we have all "terrain" sport like NHL and FIFA like console. We have all "tony hawk style" serie like dave mirra and mat offman and extreme wakeboard. The only one we miss are the snowboard games like you said, but I don't care a lot about them.
Plateformer... we had prince of persia, psychonaughts.. before that pitfall? Smile
What is missing are fighting games. Sure they look better on console to have more players but hey it's possible to play 2 players on a PC with a gameplay and even without one. Using old emulators to play fighting games is not normal.

Unfortunately, ther is a huge lack of interesting content.
At first place the fighting games.. tha last one for PC was guilty gear (but i'm talking about something that will really use the PC hardware power...Soul Calibour, Dead Or alive, Mortal Kombat, Virtua fighter....it's so sad..)
And i've always liked the game full of secret content, things to unlock...new challenges avaibles after beating the game...(tha last games of that kind that i've played were x-man legends II and dynasty warriors iv, but still they are too few.. )
and really i'm sick of all the WWII fps/rts Sad..

Yeah, shiny are such talented developers, all their games were wacky and fun. Then it seems it went downhill with the matrix games. I mean, they're not terrible games, just that shiny are capable of so much more.


played a game called messiah by shiny?


its not everyones cup of tea, but i thought it was truely a superb original work of genius.

im still holding out hopes that shiny will come back to its roots and make another MDK for pc. those games were the bomb. and yeah, way too many ww2 fps for pc.


Would be so nice if they dropped that Matrix franchise since the games has been pure shit...

Sacrfice, MDK was/is one of the best games ever.

they need to give the matrix license to the guys behind fahrenheit/indigo prophecy

i only really stick to certain games when im playing, might pick up most games and give them a try then dump them after a few go's if they're not worth buying. its just that theres such a huge selection of fps and rts games that other genres don't appear profitable. i wish there were more rpg / space sims around, im sure theres a market out there for them and if they are done well they will sell.

all i play at the moment:

sports: football manager 2006 (bought) pro evo 5 (bought)
fps: call of duty 2, battlefield 2 (bought) half life 2 (bought)
strategy: black & white 2, the movies
rpg: none at the moment although morrowind might have to be installed again if oblivion doesn't hurry up
space sim: x3 (bought)

other than these, theres nothing really out there that i can be bothered playing at the moment, and where as there is a massive choice in some genres, you can be waiting 2 years for a good release of an rpg or space sim. notice theres only one game there thats an original concept, all the others are sequels. developers are chasing profits now rather than trying to be inventive.

I didnt mean some shitty arcade game... Grabbing gems and shit.
I'm talking about doing formations, freestyle, use bikes and other objects and have fun.
Swooping contests, Bullseye, Land between a goal etc. etc. theres loads you can do and if you can start off in a plane, there would be loads of fucking cool things you could do and it would be hilarious. imagine in MP trying to get out of the plane first, massive killing spree while you try Very Happy

You might get your wish deelix, 2K games picked up the rights to release a new Carmageddon game a long time ago. There original intention was to make it multi platform but you never know do you, plus THQ also plan a sequel to that Punisher game - I dont really rate that game but horses for courses. Wink
