Alpha Centauri Chronicles for PC !!!!

[Shodan]

Ok, its just an hypothetic thread but...

Instead of a Civ 4 or SMAC 2, what I really would like to see is new games based on SMAC scenario. Imagine an adventure, role-playing, simulation or FPS game on the planet??? Now this would rock!!!

For a long time I think about a adventure game or RPG depicting the humanity struggle on planet (I even acquired "Gurps Alpha Centauri"). Perhaps in a 3rd person perspective, a la KOTOR. But story-heavy as planescape, deicision-heavy as Fallouts. Or just simple and beautifull like a good adventure (as Longest Journey). Maybe it could be ambiented in 3 separate ages - the fight for survival by the 1st colonists; the rebirth of a new civilization; and the ascent to transcendence.

It would be so cool!

What do you guys think???? Someone call Brian Reynolds here!!!

Hmm... Why not? But we should have in a time period where Planet is mostly filled with colonists, and make it an MMORPG like World of Warcraft, only with 14 factions. The weapons could be Chaos Guns or Tachyon Bolts, while the armor could be the different armors you can outfit your units with.

I don't know, MMORPGs tend to attract high concentrations of '|\|00|3z'.

^Is this realy what we want SMAC reduced to?

Good point. We could control a Probe Team and infiltrate enemy bases, or something along those lines. We don't want a SMAC FPS. Make it into something where you have to use your brains. As a bonus, that keeps the n00bz away.

I normally don't like wierd spinoff game ideas, but this one sounds good. If it was KoToR style, but with more freedom, and the 12 (human) factions=12 scenarios.

Won't happen though

But we can discuss it, can't we? Don't spoil our fun.
