Which t.v. show/s would you like to see being converted/transformed into a fps?
Which character would cater most to you?

I'll give an example.

The Muppets Fps.

Characters: The Muppets

Player model: Kermit, Gonzo

Story: You wake up on the floor. Your head feels sore, there's a large bump on your right temple (?). Your speech lying next to you, your bottle of booze still standing on the table above, you stagger to your feet and carefully check your surroundings.

Something is seriously wrong here. It looks like someone went on a rampage in your hq. Everything, besides your booze and the table/chair seems to be smashed up. Apparently the bottle of booze is empty.

You hear a couple of loud screams, and the sounds of blazing guns. Your heart misses a few beats, you almost let out a sharp shriek of terror.

What happened? Most of the lights are out, and what could possibly be waiting out there for you, on and backstage?
Where are the other muppets? Why is there a large puddle of blood coming from under the door?

Firmly you walk towards the wall on the right, and open a secret storage room. Whoever beat you up, will regret the day they did so.
You grab your 9 mm handgun from the wall, and reach out for your rambo knife. You'll make the bastards pay. You'll make them pay, for surprising you. You'll make them squeel like miss piggy, for drinking up your booze.

It's you against the unknown.

Part 1: The horror on stage.

Enemies: Most of your muppet brothers have been cloned. And these clones are willing to put you in a world of hurt.

Elmo: Elmo is the weakest foe you'll run into. But apparently someone has cloned him, and in different colours.
-Red elmo has a small handgun, but it packs little punch, and delivers slight damage.
-Blue elmo has a shotgun. Fortunately, this particular elmo is a bad aim. You have three seconds before blue elmo is able to target you.
-Yellow elmo: Has the tendency to flee the scene every now and then. In other cases, he simply chases you with a chainsaw.

Fozzy: Fozzy will attack you by throwing books at you. Parodies. But once these books make contact, they'll explode. These normally do 15-20 damage. Without armour, they can deliver 30 damage.

Rover: Rover sits on a piano from hell, and the decibels are potential killers. Destroy rover, or his piano, or both as quickly as possible.

So far for chapter one.

Players:

Kermit:

Powers: Kermit is a frog. No surprise there. He's very agile,fast and can make giant leaps across the room. Kermit however, has limited physical strength. Kermit cannot take heavy punches, and a few blows to the head might give him a oneway ticket to the grave.

Advice: Be quick, or be dead. Sneak around, attack your foe from behind. Dodge fozzy his heavy paws, and don't let elmo screw you.

Other advantages: Kermit is relatively intelligent. He can quickly decode messages, and solve riddles. Sometimes he might need your help, though.
Kermit might warn you if he fears entering a booby trapped area.

Gonzo:

Powers: Gonzo he's greatest asset is his nose. If used correctly, he can strangle weaker foes. His gaze might hypnotize fozzy, and rover could possibly be no match for his fearsome trumpet.

Advice: While playing as gonzo, you have more protection against physical violence. Even if Fozzy could deliver 4-5 blows, you could still be standing with over 50 health. Don't let him touch the nose too much, though.
Gonzo cannot leap as high as kermit, nor can he run as fast. But his nose could, once again, come very in handy. In case of sudden dead trips opening from beneath your feet. We'll say no more. Use your eyes as well. Don't run blindly into rooms.

Other advantages: Gonzo really has to depend on his trumpet and nose. He's not very bright. It's probably more challenging playing as gonzo than it would be as kermit.

Weapons:

- 9 mm handgun
- Shotgun
- .44 magnum
- Rambo knife
- Rocket launcher!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, course.
- Trumpet
- Frog legs
- Intelligence (If you're an avid CS player, don't bother)
- Swiss armyknife
- Experimental lazer weapon from dr. whatshisname
- Dead cat

Potential boss enemies: Swedish chief, Cookie monster and Ernie.

Gamemodes:

- Obviously single player. I think there should be 5 units, and 40 levels.
Each unit has a secret level.

- DEATHMATCH. Finish off those mean muppet buddies with an extended, crazy arsenal!!!
Play as fozzie and smite your foes with crazy letters!
Play as rover, and throw pianos at your friends!
Play as miss piggy, and smother them with "love"...
Play as the scientist, and evaporate your colleague!

- Capture the emmy/oscar!

NOES!!!!!!! :mad: It looks like the wrong muppets have won an emmy/oscar!
That's not fair. Enter their theater, and capture what SHOULD be yours!

- Pillow fight.

For the peace long muppet fps fans.

More later.

Ok, I just made this up. ^_^

Now it's up to you? Which t.v. show would you prefer turning into a FPS?

BSG

Game takes place after the new series of course. Seasons 1 and 2 combined.

Anyone who's willing to try =) Could be fun. No need to write an essay like I have, heh, all you need is creativity.

Want to do a family guy fps? Why not?
Want to do a full house fps? You shooting up bob saget? Why not?
Want to make the cosby's frag eachother? Go ahead.
Why not let urkel fight it out against eh... his neighbours.

It could be easily made into a mod for UT2k4, what talents do you have neonite?

I'm a creative person, I can make up stories and characters on the fly ^_^
Though it used to be easier when I drew comics, but that's been a long time...

Anyone, come on people =) Turn that boring t.v. show into an exciting FPS!

Sigh.. or if you don't like FPS, ok... select another type of game.

Maybe you have too much time on your hands NeoNite.;)

I do at the moment so here goes:

MASH. First person surgery.

Escape form Gilligan's Island. The more times you get called "lill buddy" in a level the more your health depletes.

Monty Python's FPS.

The Virtual Big Brother House. Eviction means execution.

Fozzy: Fozzy will attack you by throwing books at you. Parodies. But once these books make contact, they'll explode. These normally do 15-20 damage. Without armour, they can deliver 30 damage.
:lol:...that reminds me of an inside joke I had with a friend:

Both are making remarkably good impersonations of Smeagol
Enfy: But how do we gets back the preciousssss?
Omni: We ask the Muppetses!
Enfy: Yess! They cans gets us the precioussss bong! Stupid fat hobbitses will never stop us now!
Omni: We know now! We can have Fozzy do it! He's stupid enough to do it, and smart enough to understand why!


BSG
I would think that fighting Centurions would be a lot like fighting those four-eyed guys from FEAR...except that they would have four machineguns firing AT ONCE and those nasty razor hands :eek:

Now come to think of it...a crossover of Paxton Fettel's forces in FEAR versus an army of cylon centurions from the new BSG. That would be something I'd like to see play out in an FPS.

Twisted Metal

Rugrats. There's something special about babies packing heat.

Tommy Pickles would be the main character of course. That kid is one tough son of a bitch. In fact, I think he's baby Rambo.

Ok, not letting this thread die. Yet. ;-)

Another t.v. show turned into a game:

Married with children FPS

Al wakes up one day. Alone in bed. Surprisingly his wife is nowhere to be seen. He goes checking the house for the kids, but they're not around either. Even buck has gone awol.

Al couldn't be happier. Yet there's something fishy about this. Where are his socks? Where is his remote control? And most important, WHERE IS THE TOILET?

Cursed family! They've must've done it! Al doesn't care what happened to his wife and children, let alone buck...
He knows Peggy's family is behind these cruel deeds. A trail of hay and manure is spread all over the kitchen floor. Even his couch has been soiled.
Al swears, and swears. He goes charging blindly into the garage, only to be greated by another tragedy. They've molested his dodge!!!!!

Now they've done it. Hell hath no fure like Al has.
Quickly, he dashes upstairs hoping to find any remaining weapons. Looking for socks, he finds two pair. The bastards didn't steal his baseball bat, and the pair of underwear lying in the bathroom might come in handy.

Player model:

Obviously you are Al bundy. Slave to the system and your family from hell. Your favourite slogan "home sweet hell" never gets old.

Powers: Al might not be that fast, but he sure can dish out heavy punches. Practising on kelly's boyfriends sure paid off. That, and the fact that he's condemned to being a shoesalesman til the day he dies, adds to the cause.

Advice: Use the socks. Whenever you run into an enemy (old ladies, fat ladies, bastards making fun of your dodge, the police, peg's family) make sure you can whip them asap.

If the socks should fail, not likely though, use the underwear. Taking off your shirt and lifting your should be considered when facing boss monsters.
The hypnotising odor which travels from your armpit to the victims nostrils should paralyse any foe within 2-3 seconds. BEWARE, some foes are quite aware of this "secret" weapon.

What else can I count on?

It's a big surprise, but for once al's wife and children are willing to help instead of ruining him. Obviously they've been kidnapped by the family. Al doesn't really care. Had they not taken his toilet,socks and remote control, he could've staid at home and watch the football game. CURSE THEM!

Peggy managed to leave tracks behind. Every now and then you might run into one of your socks. It's also quite possible retrieving one of the precious t.v. guides.

Bud obviously had been reading "hooters" before. Hooters not only make you happy, they add strenght/stamina. Hooters light your path, and give you courage.

Kelly, well... she's able to drive the family insane with her ramblings so...

Unfortunately, there are quite a few items you should avoid.

- Fat ladies shoes: This means one of those jumbo jets are probably lurking nearby. Around the corner, in the dumpster, the store behind you. Beware!

- chicken legs: Whoops, marcy is on the look-out for you! Your relationship with miss chickenwings hasn't been all that. So watch your step.

There's more, but why spoil the surprise.

When heavily injured, the following areas will patch you up in no time:

- The football field:

Old memories of "FOUR TOUCHDOWNS IN ONE GAME", make a man proud. Especially Al Bundy. Glory. Glory. Glory.

- The nudy bar:

Those honeys will make you feel like a real man again. Make sure you're not being followed by chickenwings or fat ladies when going to the nudy bar.

The police don't care about you most of the times. Though, you being Al Bundy, cops aren't what you'd call friends. Even if you slightly irritate them, f.e. riding your dodge in front of their car, they could lock you up or beat you to death. The police should be avoided at all costs.

This FPS will have 4 units, and 32 levels.

Multiplayer gamemodes:

Onslaught: Choose vehicles such as "the dodge", or the jeffersons their ferrari. Terrorise the skies with bud's homemade inflatable woman.

Deatmatch: But of course. This couldn't be left out!
Special extra weapons such as t.v. guides, plastic women and chickens, bud's PooP and last but not least marcy's chicken attack.

Last man standing: It's a possibilty. However, Al might have too many advantages. We're still heavily tweaking the game.

You would play as the neighbor fellow, and go on a homicidal rampage. Of course he fashion all sorts of weapons from just about anything, much like Gordon Freeman.

Thank you, hal, for putting that wacky saxophone two-step (http://www.thestarwarskid.com/star_wars_kid_benny_hill.wmv) in my head for the remainder of the weekend. :(

Happy Days-The Fonz has to fight the kids who have been turned into brain eating zombies for some reason. Of course there is a talking pie....

F Troop-It writes itself for anyone who knows the show.

Get Smart (How could I have mised that the first time around). Choose your character; play as Agent 99 or 86. (Sounds a bit X Files....)

Starsky and hutch game, but a la carmageddon.

Basically it's co-op orientated. You can either play as teh starsky or hutch, or as the chief and someone else I haven't come up with yet!

Your job is to run... down as many criminals as you can.

EXCITING, isn't it ;-) ?

'Allo 'Allo.

The funny thing is, I don't need to think about this one too much, because there actually was a platform game based on it years ago.

Still, it would be a great game. Basically, it would be a stealth game, with very little shooting. About half the missions would be the FPS equivalent of amusing Whitehall farces with you, as René, trying to hide British airmen, explosives or the potrait of The Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies by Van Klomp from the Gestapo. Or just trying to avoid your wife Edith and Lieutenant Gruber. Locations would include the Café Artois, the mansion of General Von Klinkerhoffen and the secret Gestapo headquarters.

That's it. That's the game. Repeat for as many seasons as the show ran on with the same plot every episode. :D
