Uplink 2 - Data is Power: IDEAS

[Dr4goN_UPLINK_DARWINIA]

Hey, I've got some ideas for Uplink 2

1. Singleplayer Storyline:

A.D 2033 - you are the son of the hacker you always knowed from Uplink 1. You have very big knowledge about computers. You hacked all of the systems in the world, and you were... caught. You have only one day before you're free. When you are free, you are logging into local Arunmor Web Server. The Uplink Corporation was been divided into two parts: first part for Arunmor and second part for ARC. But before UC was been selled, they deleted all accounts in their database...

2. Multiplayer Ideas

I: Online & LAN modes - first for people who have Internet, but they haven't LAN(or they have first and second option, first to play by Internet and second for little hacking test )

II: RTHS(Real-Time-Hacking-Simulation) - Users before start Uplink 2 must select their timezone(e.g, GMT +1.00), so the time o'clock will be the same as Windows time o'clock.

III: On the InterNIC you can find IP numbers to the computers of the rest of the players.

IV: Title - maybe "Uplink 2 - Data is Power" or "Uplink 2 - The Fall of ARC". What do you think about it all?? I'm waiting for your posts!

V: Old, good 3D world - you can logout from your computer and go for a walk, where you can find other hackers(in singleplayer CPU players and in multiplayer live players, I think that's great)

VI: Eating idea - You have two parameters: Hunger and Thirst. If you neglect just one of this parameters - you'll die.

some interesting ideas, although it almost sounds like this is turning into the sims h4><0r edition. especially the hunger and thirst things- interesting but probably not usable. #1 it would be somewhat annoying, you forgot to eat and drink and you died. at least in real life you have stomach pains when you're hungry. #2, if it were online, wouldn't you die if you don't logon for a few days? #3, if you add hunger and thirst, where does it stop? look at the sims, once you add in those factors you also put in bladder-fullness (forgive the made up word), social need, entertainment need, need of girlfriend, etc. and even hunger and thirst by themselves that just gives the game some unnecessary evilness. "oops, was too busy hacking and forgot to eat, i just lost 2 years worth of gameplay "
just wondering, did you pick up that idea for walking around in a computer from the movie johnny mnemonic?

and then comes the titles. some interesting ideas. Data is Power sounds pretty cool, but its not a title. it would work great as a subtitle though, has the same ring as "Trust is a weakness". Fall of ARC seems like the best title up there, but I think its somewhat weak. Maybe calling it Uplink: ARC Takedown or something. You need a name that makes people think "whoa, i gotta play this game, it sounds so awesome". I dunno. these titles are giving me things to think about.
Hacker Elite 2 is just boring. Same old title. Makes it seem like the game is the same. I mean look at grand theft auto. its not gta3 gta4 gta5, its gta 3 (weakest title especially following gta1 and 2), vice city, and san andreas. and so you think "whoa, a whole new load of things to do".

well those are my 2 cents. sorry for ranting.

You musn't bump old posts (I'm just warning cause somebody else will tell you this too)...
But Uplink 2 will never happen... Since the DevCD has came out some people are busy with some mods so that's the closest we'll ever get to an Uplink 2...
