Game Tourism
I’m a passionate gamer playing a lot of titles a year.
I’m always wating for the newest fix.
One of the best things in games is ambience; the ability to feel transported someplace else for a while.
While playing, you feel a part of some long lost civilization, another planet, or a nice tropical beach.
You forget who you are. You go on a 2 hour vacation.
When the action in the game is too boring or complicated I turn on the God cheat.
When in God mode your character cannot be killed or affected, but you can still interact.
You can blow away anything or walk around…
Which brings up an idea I came up with:
I enjoy the scenery a lot.
I go siteseeing.
I look at the architecture and nature. Sometimes I don’t want to get killed.
I’m a tourist. I walk around and take pictures.
Gaming industry:
Make a game were I can explore and walk around without puzzles or killers.
Let me uncover big ruins and long lost pyramids.
Let me float around your abandoned spacecraft.
Take me away with a plush soundtrack.
Let me discover other worlds.
Take me inside my mind.

I agree that would be a good idea something that was of a different challenge other than shooting people with every type of weapon known to man. It is depressing enough to see that shit on the news then people want to do it in their spare time? Maybe the game designers want to play it safe appealing to base dark desires, knowing it is a fertile market for their wares?
Why doesn’t playstation make a flight sim for RC planes for instance?

I recomend Halo 2. It rocks, although not oriented towards tourism. You kill or get killed.

I’d too love an RC plane game… I remember playing with Pablo for hours RC ProAm on the NES.
Hey Pablo, I’m a PC gamer, so no Halo for me

I’m thinking more like this

but make one for a playstation or an XBOX but you have to have a gaming computer for this stuff and as you must know you have to update those cats every twenty minutes.
