I was going to ask if there is any possibility of having multiple cores utilized by the game - using separate threads. Of course, for a programmer, that's a lot like taking a car into the mechanic and saying "Hey, I want you to take the four-cylinder engine out and replace it with eight. Can yo...

I don't want to make this into a political diatribe, but I've always been confused as to how parents and people (at least in North America) get all upset about nudity or sexual themes in games/media, but beating someone to death with a fire extinguisher is not as bad a problem. Like in GTA: San Andr...

At least you guys have a road period! Mine burnt down.

I put telephones and toilets in the shower room (using the same square!) and it works really well.

Any thoughts about stress? The idea is that guards and other staff come into the prison with shined shoes, ready to serve. Over time, depending on the conditions, their work and attitudes change. Things like getting into a fight and getting hurt, having a coworker hurt or killed, having less staff t...

-Just for fun and a bit of immersion, mic support would be nice so you can say the commands yourself over the PA system, once you finish saying it the command will light up with a confirm or deny action then your words get repeated over the PA. I haven't seen any games ever (despite increasing CPU ...

Have realism options or at least a basic set of difficulties that tweak the way the game behaves!

The problem is except for things like a lockdown/emergency, you would use radio broadcasts, not a PA. If you shout across the PA: "GAURDS, GET YOUR ASSES TO CELLBLOCK A." whatever's going on in Cellblock A is going to stop and they will arrive with innocent eyed prisoners. And maybe a dead...

Ich möchte essen Gummibaum! Oh wait, I don't think that's right...

I like that.

I want to see Mark "Chopper" Read in this game.

It seems to me that a lot of people suggesting line of sight/fog of war concepts here would rather have PA be an RTS game or breakout simulator. i don't see IV implementing any of this because it would change the mechanics and expierienve of the game way to much. I'm sure IV wants to keep the micro...

Here are the ideas I've thought about: ⋅ Items/weapons thrown over the prison walls or dropped via parachute from a plane ⋅ Prisoner hiding himself in a box of equipment that would be moved outside of a secure area, escaping when the box is opened ⋅ Escaping via garbage...

Pool tables don't work that way!

What would be really wild idea for the "fog of war" outside and at night would be to have thermal cameras. Me likee! Though I fear thermal cameras might throw the balance off (make things too easy for the player). That said, I'm particularly fond of the idea that if you've got enough cash...
