OFFICIAL GOTCHA FORCE 2 Brain-storming thread

[cyberhero303063]

A friend and i are creating a sequel to gotcha force under the name Planet chasers so we don't get sued. we thought coming back here would be some good inspiration, so if anyone has ideas lay them on me. if you want to contact me somewhere other than here, my email address is [e-mail]

Are you making a PC game or homebrewing for the GameCube? Because if you're doing it on the PC and it's not hilariously illegal to do so remaking the original with some online play would probably be a great starting place. And also really cool.
As for actual game ideas all I really have to contribute is overhauling the EXP system, but I don't entirely remember the specifics of my idea off the top of my head, I'd have to get back to you on that.

Also I don't think adding a 0 to the title will do anything to avoid a lawsuit. Not that you're likely to get any more than a cease-and-desist for this sort of thing.

Pirate borgs, indian borgs and umm maybe like a mafioso gun borg? Thatd be cool. And maybe kike vikings? Idk pirates and indians for sure.

I agree with what Death Eye said:
- Online would be cool. Probably a pain to set up though.
- Better EXP system. The current EXP system punishes you for keeping borgs alive and gives you a static +2 for completing a mission, no matter how easy or hard it was. An EXP system that scaled based on how much GF energy you killed or something would be better

Other suggestions
- Mid-battle switching. So that you can actually do something when you're a melee borg vs. a plane.
- Overhaul of the borg acquisition system.
- Co-op story mode.

Actually, if Capcom sent a cease and desist for this I might have hope for an official GF2. Because really, why would they care otherwise?

[cyberhero303063]

all of that is possible, and i will do it, but why co-op story mode?

I doubt they would care plus most of the trademark characters will be renamed and remodeled, and the name can be easily changed i still have to get all of the characters down and draw/render all of them. i also think that part of the mechanics could be customization of borgs.

The name can easily be changed but i plan for this to me multi platform, specifically like playstation, wii, 3ds, and psvita.

what kind of indians? and what is mafioso?

[Metal]

Native american ones. Like the tommahawk kind.

A mafia person? Like a guy in a top hat and suit with a tommy gun. Or for a better reference, the guy from scarface

Also i agree with the exp overhaul. And the borg aquisition. Remove the letters from the data crystals, make it so a four crystal borg requires four crystals.

Also celtic borgs would be cool.

[cyberhero303063]

i will change it so that getting borgs wont be random but i want to open the world of gotcha force and play with all the toys in the box, i want to make it a free roam like pokemon when you are a commander and the battle system will be technically the same but the flashing thing when you get hit to many times will be thrown out, but their will be knock back and stun. their will be new classes and tribes of borgs, like shadow, sword, holy, psychic, indian, mafia, villain, and ultimate. im adding S class and S+ class

Bad idea. The entire point of the invincibility frames is to avoid getting infinite comboed, if you take it out the combat will most likely be completely broken.

Also did you really need to quadruple-post? Multiquoting's not even somewhat difficult unless you're using a 3DS or something.

[cyberhero303063]

No, i meant like instead of invincibility frames you will just get knocked away from the other player and instantly recover with the jump button. the recovery time will be instant after getting knocked 12 feet away. or i could keep the fist one and add knock back to certain attacks. i plan to give each character a finishing move while in the glowing yellow state and i want the borgs to be able to evolve after a certain exp level is reached

[cyberhero303063]

I have officially named the gotcha force sequel, and created a story continuing the original story-line but into a way i wont get sued for copyright infringement or anything like that. But as all of us are the gotcha community i want all of us to be involved and pitch in with all 200 characters. Please show your heart for gotcha force and contribute so we can finally have our sequel!

[Indigo]

A lot of words these days are literally starting to lose their meaning, like 'officially...'

But seriously, we already have a thread for this (it's a sticky)... So I'll just tell you to join the RP section since it seems you're fond of Gotcha Fiction continuations, and suggest the conversation for this moves over there.

[cyberhero303063]

I don't waste my breath or use words loosely, and neither should you. Believe me or not i am completely serious, and don't plan on making countless players wishes a fiction. It's a gem and i'm going to blow the dust off of it with or without you.

I hope you can run in Gotcha Force 2 without eying the foes the whole time.
So you can move freely and don't have that aim support.

I, too, support a button to turn on/off the auto-aim function. It has its uses, but not all the time

I want to compare this to bursting in a fighter. I guess that's one way to do it, but the invincibility knock-away is good for Gotcha because in a 2v2, you can focus on the other opponent when you knock away one of them. This is a skill that a lot of us have developed in our 1000+ battles of playing the game. I'd also suggest keeping in the invincibility because, as Death-eye said, you can get infinitely comboed (esp when arrow-ninja comes into play, or someone uses super-acc beam spam). Or have both, but the invincibility frames are important, imo

evolving borgs sounds really weird to me, but if you are going to do it, can you make it optional? I've become so proud of using normal ninja and shadow girl as mains that I still want them to be usable when I max out their levels (plus normal ninja is so cheap! 150 GF Energy!)

I've always been a big supporter of co-op story mode, mainly because I grew up on old consoles. Friends and family would be huddled around a single TV to play together, and we'd play all day and have a blast with either a competitive fighter/racer or a co-op game. To have co-op story mode as an option really enhances the gameplay experience.

also if you put in co-op story mode I will be your friend forever




Oh, and since we're tossing around borg ideas and some of them sound cool, I'd like to ask for an offensive mage/wizard. Spellcasters are cool

First of all, excuse me, princess.

Saying you officially named a game's sequel doesn't make you that game's official director, that's all there is to it, you can't officially name something you have no authority over. Plus, the word was pointlessly used in this topic's title.

If you don't like to RP, that's fine, but there's nothing wrong with fiction. And that's about as productive as a Gotcha fan can be for a sequel, because Capcom doesn't even care about their official petitions (Mega Man Legends 3).

And lastly, we're both here to 'dust off' and support Gotcha Force, so take it easy. I just said to move the discussion to its proper topic.

I wouldn't be posting anything if i didnt have authority over it. Its the reason im in school for game design and programing.And who said anything about capcom, they're a dying company anyway, did you think i needed their permision to create a videogame? Just because i said it was a legitamate sequel dosn't mean its called gotcha force2. As nice as that would be, that's a luxury none of us has at their disposal. So in short yes i am the director, because im getting off my butt and doing something, not just sitting behind a computer hoping, but working towards a goal.

[njayhuang]

If this thread is specifically for cyberhero's game, then I see no reason why it can't be its own thread. That said, many ideas are already in the existing Gotcha Force 2 idea thread. I'll move the recent posts about your game to this thread to be consistent.

I'm not a lawyer so I can't really say anything on the name issue, or whether an issue exists at all.
