Kind of like the tribal stage of Spore, before EA hit it on the head and left it with a profound mental retardation in order to market it to toddlers?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

An online game where players live in a world with different phase-levels, like instances of the world that overlap, so a player can phase into the jungle version to use some vines to climb up and then phase into the frozen version to travel along an ice slide. Might see some loot on the other side of a frozen ice wall, and have to switch from ice world to lava world to get past the wall, then phase back into ice to get the loot.

Gear is themed according to the world in which you found it. Monsters aren't just reskinned, they have different animations and bodies depending on which world layer you're in. But a yeti in one would become a sasquatch in another.

PVP can involve barring someone else from phase-changing, or forcing a phase change, which would hopefully get the player away from you or drop him into a sticky situation.

Soul Reaver have a somewhat limited version of that, between the real world and the infra world.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I think I may have played a demo of soul reaver at some point.

But I'm pretty sure I didn't enjoy the demo enough to play it long enough to get to any kind of world-swapping.

Now that I think about it, this is basically just Zelda: Link to the Past. Nevermind!

Kind of, but not strategy based, well there would be strategy involved probably, but from a RPG/You control a single entity perspective.

And I'm glad someone else knows about what Spore could have been. I remember fondly watching the pre-release demo vids and it was awesome, and then they dumbed it RIGHT the fuck down.

We all hold the grudge...

I want Tom Clancy games with depth back. No more cover shooters plox. :X

Always remember that Splinter Cell could have gone the other direction and become one of the best stealth series ever, but instead chose to become a cover shooter with extremely gullible enemies.

I'm sure you've heard of them, but I remember the squad based games "Rainbow Six" that were based on Tom Clancy books. Tad old as it came out in 1998. I couldn't give you more information as all I remember was playing the demo and telling my squadmates to go all over the place with no tactics.

They evolved in the ghost recon series which kept some of the realism and streamlined gameplay, sometine for good, sometime for bad.

A GTA game where you play as a beat cop, and try to eradicate crime or go corrupt, stuff like that.

I've played Rainbow Six 3 and a few of its spinoffs, but my understanding is that they're not quite as complex as previous games in the series. They're still damn hard games and pretty fun too, just not complex or even remotely realistic in the details, like apparently having an infinite variety of weapons from many countries to use.

Rainbow Six Las Vegas, is just a crap cover base fps.

Everything is just more difficult then it should be.

There's some newer Rainbow Six games though.

A GTA game where you play as a beat cop, and try to eradicate crime or go corrupt, stuff like that.

True Crime LA & NY for PS2 and, at least the latter, PC. The main storyline focuses on you taking down larger organization(s) (LA and NY respectively), but most of the time you can just cruise around the city, respond to dispatches and/or perform mass personal searches, and that in turn lowers the crime level in the area.

There's also a good cop/bad cop system where you get good cop points for doing good things like non-lethal takedowns, refusing bribes, stuff like that, and bad cop points for going for headshots, accepting bribes, threatening shopkeepers for money and the like, the total number of which influences the ending, plus career points for doing police work this way or another for salary and a kind of level-up system (you get access to better weapons, cars, etc. at the precint, though you can buy illegal weapons in pawn shops from the beginning, and the level of the dispatches increases).

I wonder, now that Tom Clancy is dead, will there still be Tom Clancy games?

Isn't sleeping dogs basically that + martial arts?
