Subversion Story

Postby GreenRock » Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:58 pm

There has to be some explanation for dudes hacking into other guys' networks.

I'm the first Subversion post! :)

I hope it will be some kind of sci-fi story with clear gamer's motivation and characters.

I think it should be a gender-bending acid trip of a buddy cop movie with a side of post-apocalyptic mayhem and some light dramatic overtones thrown in, only for the entire story to be subverted by an outbreak of zombie-ism. By the end of the game, we should all have learned an important lesson about the dangers of illicit drugs, but be suddenly awakened to learn that it was all a dream.

When have nerds ever needed any reason greater than "because" to do anything?

Sure, but only if the love interest wears an obviously fake beard.

Obviously, it should be about a highly skilled team of specialists doing covert work for a megacorporation, only to find out halfway through the game said megacorporation is evil and they spend the rest of the game trying not to get killed, which requires them to steal all the stuff they acquired back.

bert, we all know that the information they're stealing belongs to another evil mega-corporation. In fact, both are most likely owned by the same parent company and part of the same conglomerate. It's just two heads competing against each other in a high stakes 'game' of one-upmanship, except they're friends. :wink:

Or possibly you have the option to work for different corporations, each promising new, different, and unique tech (or weapons) whenever you complete a mission for them.

That's the storyline of Team Fortress 2! It's been done already.

And of course, you can take missions from any of them at any given time. :)

I'm thinking Mission Impossible. At least that's the overtones I see whenever I see the screenshots.

Plus there's bombs. Can't go wrong with bombs.
