Pitch a game about kowloon walled city

Guild Wars Factions

Did anyone here actually play it?

Could make for a cool close quarters urban shooter but I don't know how you could really shape a game around it without falling into bare bones battle royale shit or just making it a boring death match or point capture mode that would end up wasting the scale of the environment. Maybe something that encourages more exploring and creeping about like stalker or tarkov without the semi persistent loot thing that makes people play really niggery and ruin the atmosphere.

ok so youre a rat and you run through the people maze and eat kids

Because people who didn't have to live there only have a romanticised view of it thanks to its cyberpunk-like aesthetics.

it would definitely have to be a story driven game with extreme focus on environmental set design otherwise the setting is wasted

Escape from Kowloon

It's an Island city completely locked down. Criminals control it. It's a combination of action and RPG dialogue puzzle solving. You gotta escape

visit it, not stick around.
I'm aware it was a crime filled shithole rampant with disease, but it's still fascinating architecture I would have liked to seen just once

imagine the smell

I could see it being used as an intro level to a GTA like game maybe. You become a man in Kowloon then there's a big cinematic moment where you leave and discover the outside world, like the vault in Fallout 3

Wasn't there some random battle royale where the gimmick was the map was a very vertical tower?

The main issue with combat on the ground is the levels would solely consist of boring corridors once you strip away the environment aesthetics, and people would get tired of that quickly.

>but it's still fascinating architecture
High rise shitholes designed for homeless immigrants after World War 2 hastily stuck together for maximum efficiency.

>cyberpunk without the cyber

yes, exactly, and it ended up with a result that's one of the most wild things humans ever built
I'm not saying it's good I'm saying it's interesting. Are you alright my dude?

Doesn't the end of Shenmue 2 take place there?

Escape from Butcher Bay mixed with modern RPG aesthetics and better combat

I'd buy it day one.

for anyone who wants a look inside

>Something can only be interesting if it is perfect and good.

city building/management game where your goal is to expand the city as much as possible while keeping things under control to avoid the government's intervention
as your city grows different groups form and start fighting over control of resources like water, food and drugs
you can build infrastructure but it can't be maintained once it's under control of the inhabitants so your only options is to keep adding shit on top of each other without making too much of a mess and have the city crumble under its own weight

*blocks you're path*

Roller Coaster Kowloon

shenmue 2 is in kowloon
i prefer shenmue 1 but 2 is still a good game
3 is irredeemable

any kind of shooter set in kowloon would be absolute cancer, infact any game oriented around combat would likely be cancer too. Just because something makes an interesting set piece does not make it a good place to have a fight in

I always thought something like an anime from the perspective of a mailman (pic related) in a block like kowloon city would've been cool.
Of course during it, things like encounters with gangs and overviews of very interweaved storylines between a bunch of families and characters.
One fight breaking out affects so many people in close proximity, especially if there's a shonen element of it.

First person dungeon crawler.

It does, but it's an abridged version that's clean and open.

dark souls

>asking stranger if he’s alright
Just what kind of response are you expecting?

it was a black ops dlc map

John wick style, melee mixed with guns combat. But also tacticool operating.
3 gang factions. Each faction has underbosses with nemesis system and crackdown 1 style targets.

Shenmue 2 and Kowloon's Gate, though Shenmue 2 isn't very accurate.

seems okay but nothing special. I think that other poster is right about a shooter being the wrong fit for it. You would need to have an exploration element of some kind I think

turning such an interesting and unique place into just windowdressing to a shooter hardly matters when a lot of shooters and cyberpunk games already inspire its aesthetics in kowloon and asian slums

>My name is not important, what is important is what I'm going to do. I just fucking hate this city, and the chinks eating bats in its streets. My whole life is nothing but cold, bitter hatred, and I always wanted to die violently, and I will put in the chow mein as many as I can before I die. It's time for me to kill, and it's time for me to die.

Or like a Judge Dredd game.

How is there not a single post that suggests a detective game?
>Have to hunt down a kowloon native criminal kingpin who is expanding outside the wall
>Fully explore the world on your own, no real map to tell you where shit is except one you can make in-game
>Search for clues, meet new people, etc and learn more about the city itself and all it's inhabitants
It would mostly rely on the story but the setting would be highly detailed with a ton of freedom of where to go, making it up to your own investigative skills to find out what's going on, how to find the kingpin, and how to take him down without dying

my vote would be for some kind of noir/detective game focusing heavily on character interactions like LA Noire
