One major thing I'd like them to do for the new game is capture that "arena tv show feel."
The whole point of this thing is it's supposed to be a futuristic pro-wrestling bloodsport with guns.
UT captured that pretty well with it's map designs and backround.
2K3 captured it perfectly with it's single-player intro.... then kinda forgot about it during the level designs, etc.
2K4... welll... 2k4 is more of a wargame than a televised bloodsport and feels nothing like what it's supposed to be.
UC2 from what I've seen from the videos it seems like they tried to stick with it and bring that feel back, (although I'm still mad at Epic for changing Gorge from a psycho penitentiary planet killer to an eyeliner fan-jealous malcolm-wannabee wuss. DAMN YOU!!!!)
I'd like to see lots of backround and a more "televised event" type atmosphere in Envy. Hell even if the map is placed in the woods somewhere, a little camera placed here and there in a tree would totally bring that feel back and remind you millions of people are watching you merrily frag away.
I'd also like to see this reflected more in the single-player. Maybe some reall short cut scenes before a match of the opponents entering the ring. Remember in the 2k3 intro when Malcolm hits the big red button to choose the playing field? How cool would THAT be. Playing a single player tournament and choosing random-type levels with the push of a button. It would be different everytime you played it.
Just some ideas... can ya tell I'm bored at the moment.. hehe.
