The Weekend Debate: Crossing The Streams

it would be great to see a dlc to place Nathan Drake from uncharted in assassins creed or possibly cole from infamous 2. just think of how great it would be to see Nathan Drake or cole scale a building along side Ezio and they both swan dive into a bale of hay

for Nathan Drake, if you restricted his use of guns apart from a pistol which would replace the crossbow in assassins creed and he could also fight off hordes of templars just using his hands or disarm them like we saw in the fight scenes in uncharted 3 that would be great.

for cole it would be very simple aswell he already fights melee style and scales buildings like Ezio so he would fit in perfect. just change the throwing knifes and crossbow for his electric attacks and use electric bombs for Ezios bombs.

Make it happen!!!

This is a bit off-topic, so sorry, but James, are we Europeans going to get anything similar to this?

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/01/27/special-launch-day- ps-vita-3gwi-fi-bundle-announced/

I would actually purchase the 3G model instead of the Wi-fi one if this deal was available in European retailers… please let me know.

as a massive comic book geek I would love to see spawn in the darkness. I think Jackie estacado fighting alongside al Simmons, well I think they might manage it for a while anyway, would rock. two serious bad asses killing anything in sight.

hey hey

I’d love to see an all girl hardcore 3rd person action adventure

Lara Croft, Nariko, Fang, Elena

3rd person action story game (open world based) where you can hot-swap out lead characters.

There are some positive female role models on the PS3 and regardless of their image (the typical [moderated]) compared to the usual tween idols young girls are surrounded by. I think the PS3 does really well

GIRL POWER !

[not a competition entry. just posting to contribute to the friday debate]

Aw man, love this Friday Debate, some really cool ideas here!

I’d also like to see somthing like ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet crossover. Or maybe Sonic Meets Rayman, where two platforming icons team up to save their respective worlds and each other’s.

You could have the ultimate sandbox city showdown with GTA Versus Saints Row, or unleash hell on quaint American suburbia with Dead Rising Meets The Sims.

Or Guybrush Threepwood in Soul Calibur and his special move is Insult Swordfighting™!

Alternatively, take the Subway promotion one step further in ‘Uncharted 4: Do you Want Cheese And Toasted?’, an epic tale of a plucky wise-cracking American fortune hunter who’s fallen on hard times and has to work in a famous sandwich takeaway chain to make ends meet.

The drama and conflict can come from the fact that the cap that comes with Drake’s uniform is ruining his remarkable hair. Sully can be the cranky manager who gets fired for dropping his cigar in someone’s sub.

I would love to see a uncharted tomb raider mash up.. like the csi mash ups on tv.. Except you would have 2 player coop with the 2 most Bad ass treasure Hunters in video games.. #UC/TR justice league

I think the obvious one is always going to be Nathan Drake and Lara Croft – even if its just a name in Drake’s diary about previous romantic conquests it would be a pretty good crossover / cameo!

Also, now that Insomniac have finished making Resistance games, it seems a shame to get rid of the Chimera.

Imagine – Killzone 4 – The remaining Helghast have one final go at invading Earth, when a portal opens up, and the Chimeran forces attack!
Setting up a three way war between the ISA, Helghast and Chimera. I would buy it!

Not got little big planet,,,
i would like to see Carl Johnson from San Andreas make a appearance in most any open world action adventure game, not a clue of a specific one, but CJ is just one of those characters you sometimes encounter playing a game and just kind of take to, either because you can relate to or just like his outlook, just a avarage guy with no superpowers, but somehow gets to both win the day and make friends and money along the way, i suppose he could be in a fighting game, after he’s maxed out the gym and fighting techniques, but doubt he’d fare well, Anyone who you ‘take to’ while playing through a game also, CJ is just 1 example of that type of character.. would love to hear they were giving San Andreas the HD treatment, but its probably to big a game for it to make economic sense..

Rico from KZ2 in the Hitman B&M universe…

as a target

nothing would satisfy me more

Right, here is the story.
In another time and space dimention Nathan Drake seeks great power. To find this he heads to Empire City, to find the Ray Sphere. However Cole has plans of his own. They both fight to get to the Ray Sphere first but in the epic finale they discover the Ray Sphere is not where they thought, instead… the Marker! Suddenly a necromorph outbreak happens. Cole and Nathan fight them off but there are too many. Then… engineer Isaac Clarke comes to do what he does best. The 3 of them then try and survive in a world where nearly everyone is a monster. Along the way they gain help from Kratos, a bunch of people from Mortal Combat, Batman and sackboy doews his fair share of killing to save the world!

Can we please get a PSVita bundle like the US for PAL territories? c:

For me it would have to be Mortal Kombat Vs Metal Gear.
just imagine Vulcan Raven Fighting Shao Kahn on top of outer haven to the epic boss battle music of metal gear solid 1. Whats not too like! Plus i bet no one would turn down the opportunity to uppercut raiden into a pit off spikes xD

I would like to see Gerald from Witcher in uncharted multiplayer.

Lara Croft and The Sands of Time.

That is my dream game. Preferably done in the stlye of Guardian of light. Co-op with Lara Croft and the Prince of Persia in a platforming/dungeon crawling epic. Give each character their own unique single player campaign and have a separate co-op campaign too, just to give each character their due respect. It’s not like Guardian of Light where one character is an unknown who you can just drop in favour of Lara for the whole SP campaign.

It would take some balancing to make each character feel different without giving either one an unfair advantage, but it could work. Have Lara be a long range, single target fighter with her guns and make the Prince a close-up melee brawler with wide, sweeping area attacks with his swords.

Lara’s grapple and guns and the Prince’s extra agility (wall running, quick band-and-forth jumps to climb tight spaces) and time powers could make for some wonderful co-operative platform/puzzle sections. Just the simple differencs in Guardian of Light, like giving Totec the spear but making him too heavy to stand on them, made for a great so-op experience. Expanding that kind of thing further would make for one of the best co-op experiences ever.

Nintento vs Sony all stars! A game that shows tha Japan stands for peace now!

I would love to see John Marston (Red Dead Redemption) appear on a GTA game, maybe in a movie set, so it would fit the occasion. Even tough both games are from Rockstar, and similiar, in a way, John Marstons personality and charisma in a modern world society would rock.

I think that to see the iconic Big Daddy from Bioshock as a playable character in Mortal Kombat would be astounding. Imagine the different combo possibilities that would occur. This character would have an alternate costume that could be a brute splicer that would have a stance and combo list reminiscent of Blanka from Street Fighter. As a DLC, it would sell millions. Consider the possibilities Sony. BTW Have a great weekend

i have cross overs.

Spyro as a playable character in Skyrim. That purple ball of fury would show those crusty old dragons a thing or two.

I would like to see Raiden from MGS4 cameo in Ninja Gaiden. That would be awesome!

A Super Smash Bros style fighting game featuring every major character from every developer/publisher and some cult classics like Travis from No More Heroes. If the sheer number of characters makes them too generic, make the character’s developer’s lead designer the playable character with the characters from each franchise providing their moves.

It could easily work (Marvel vs Capcom and Smash Bros have huge appeal). All you need is a good neutral studio and developers/publishers to drop/ignore licensing fees for the game.

Plus who wouldn’t want to see who wins between Master Chief (Halo), Cpt Price (COD) and Haggard (BF:BC)

The characters from TF2 as skins in COD and BF3.

i would love to see the return of Axl Rose as Dj tommy the nightmare smith (san andreas k-dst radio station) in grand theft auto 5.

i would also love a cameo by solid snake on some action game.

and it would be awsome that in a game like max payne 3 they’d get chuck norris or something in it.

and in modern warfare 4 we could work along side mi6′s 007 (daniel craig) during some mission !

SSX would fit nicely. Who wouldn’t want to send Kratos down Mt Fuji? Alot of characters from PS3 exclusives wouldn’t feel out of place with this type of game, as it’s a bit daft anyway!

I would actually prefer to see a Mario Kart esque game release. Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Kratos, Cole McGrath, Sly Cooper & gang, Twisted Metal characters Dollface & Sweet Tooth, Solid Snake & Liquid Snake, Dante, Sackboy, etc as Kart Drivers. Yes it’s silly, but fun!

how about drake and sully in jak and daxter? I could just see sully sitting on drakes shoulder in mutated rat form saying some funny one liners :-p

Having Kratos as the main character in GTA.

Holy… You know what.

i think a crossover game starring Lara Croft, Nathan Drake and Indiana Jones would be awesome.

it’d start out in the forties or fifties with Indy searching for something, he would think he was close but then discover he was looking in the wrong place or something.
then we’d cut forwards to an older Professor Jones teaching a class, two of the students are a young Drake and Lara.
they get interested in something Indy teaches them that is related to what he was searching for years ago, they fly to South america to find it.
after some exciting adventures finding the artifact they take it back and show Indy.

he then tells them the full story of the artifact he was searching for and how what they recovered was one of the guides needed to find it.
the treasure would be some mystical artifact said to give somebody unlimited power or something.

unfortunately they have no idea where to find any more of the guide artifacts.

then we jump forwards again and Lara has grown into the tomb raider we all know, she recovers an artifact from one tomb and discovers it’s another guide for the treasure indy told her about.

she takes it and shows it the now elderly Indy.
he realises the second artifact when combined with the first can point the way to the third, when the three of them are collected they can be used to find the mystical item.
unfortunately the first artifact is now in a museum, so Lara calls Drake to help “borrow” the artifact.
they eventually steal it, and show the two they have to Indy.
he deciphers the secret and shows them where to go.
they go there and find they have to work together, each taking one of the artifacts and have to co-operate to get through the tomb.
eventually they find the third artifact, but can’t figure it out so they take it back to Indy.

he figures out where they need to go and he tells them that just as they needed two people when they had the two artifacts, they will need three to find the final treasure with three artifacts.
so they take Indy.

he’s past his prime but he’s far from an invalid.

each character will play slightly differently, lara will do all the acrobatic stuff, Drake will still be able to climb but he’s not as athletic as Lara, but he can shoot better.
and Indy, won’t be as active, not much climbing, but he’s smart and he can still take on anyone in a fistfight.

though nearly losing their lives many times the three of them finally locate the treasure, they also find a huge door they can open that has nothing but solid rock behind it, until they use the treasure to open it.
it’s at this point they discover that the legends about it were either lies or mistranslations and it would actually release a powerful evil force.
unfortunately they discover too late to stop it’s release though.
some giant creature appears from a doorway the treasure opened.

they realise it is weak at first so they use their respective talents and their environment to defeat the creature and force it back through the door.
they then close the door and knowing the the creature will come back stronger they decide they have to destroy the treasure to keep the creature imprisoned.

they don’t do it quick enough though and the creature starts to emerge from the doorway again and attacks indy.
then the what was the opening behind the door turns back into stone with just the creatures head and an arm protruding.
the creature then dies in pain.

Lara And drake cradle a badly injured Indy, he tells them he was grateful to be given a second chance at this treasure after failing to find it when he was younger, and how it was an honour to work with them.
then his eyes close and he’s still.

then we cut to a museum, somebody from the museum is making an announcement.
he’s standing in front of a display that holds the three artifacts and the remains of the treasure, the man uncovers a plaque that says the artifacts and the pieces of the legendary treasure of, whatever it is, found by Doctor Henry Jones Jr.
the man says that “Sadly Dr Jones is not with us to enjoy this moment, but i’m sure he would appreciate you all coming here to learn about this piece of history, he was above all else, a teacher.”

in the crowd watching are Drake and Lara, they laugh at that last line.
“Teacher? that was just his day job, he was an adventurer, like us.”
then Lara says “I learned much from him, ahe never did what he did for personal gain” then she stares at Drake “like some people”

before he can reply camera flashes force them to cover their eyes.

then we cut to somebody reading a paper, there’s a story deep in the paper about the museum exhibit we just saw.
the paper is then screwed up and thrown onto the floor
then we see we’re in a hospital and a nurse comes over and picks up the paper and tries to straighten it out.

“what is it this time?” she asks.

“page 29, all that for page 29, nobody appreciates history anymore”.

then the nurse says “people don’t have teachers like you to make it interesting for them, Doctor Jones”

then we see the patient in the bed who threw away the paper.
“don’t call me Doctor Jones, the name’s Indiana”

then we fade out to the music.

i think i may have gotten a bit carried away with this. ^_^

Solid snake rockin in Twisted metal will be awsome

i think darth vader in mortal konmat, sackboy in marvel.

ghostbusters in any game as a guest star[s]

My dream gaming crossover would definitely be assassins creed and uncharted. Ezio and Nathan would meet up through some crazy turn of events and the game would mix the large action moments and cool climbing, jmnping physics to make an awesome game. Ezio using guns, Nathan Drake doing air assassinatins….whats better than that

I would like to see all the different worlds of comics n gaming characters coming together in a fighting game like final fantasy dissidria, imagine spiderman vs batman, captain America vs superman, spawn vs ghost rider, Cloud vs Dante, solid snake vs Nathen Drake possibilities are endless n with an 3d battle field with destructible environments would b awesome

I’d love to see a Final Fantasy dissidia style fighting crossover with Drake, Kratos, Sweet Tooth,Jak and Daxter, Old Snake and the likes brawling while defying gravity!!

What is my dream cross over and why? I’ll start with the why first. I don’t know whether it is the hot weather (it’s summer in Australia) or what but people are behaving like imbeciles on the roads that the moment. To vent my frustrations I would be up for a game about two robots out to destroy all organic life. I reckon Dr Nefarious (from the Ratchet and Clank games) and Megatron (from War for Cybertron) would be up to the task. I’m not sure what kind of game it would be but it would need plenty of dark, dry comedy from Megatron and exaggerated, light hearted humour from Dr Nefarious. And it would need to end with a Double Dragon style showdown where the winner takes all.

Han Solo in Mass Effect 2!
Or a Star Wars-game like Mass Effect!

i would like to see game of thrones crossed over with skyrim.

in my eyes it would be more of an expansion but skyrims world of dragons and gameplay mechanics would totally suit the tone and style of the show.

just thinking of such a crossover is exciting (if like me you love game of thrones )

Wow, can’t believe some of the comments that won this week. Someone had almost an identical idea to mine, but they won instead of me. I really don’t want to sound like a sore looser, or sound like I feel a sense of entitlement, but I feel like I just had to say it.

Wow. So my comment complaining about my inability to see my comments is, in itself, unseeable.

@Ziggy_Marley_93

his idea was different to yours to the extent that he included fighters from a much larger scope than just playstation regulars.his idea also was described as being more like a 3d open ended playing field with interactive environments and such, where your description was of a 2d fighter in the style of street fighter so its hardly the same idea.

plus as you said you have suggested a game that is not only been discussed on various gaming sites as a rumour its most likely a game that is being developed now if the leaked sweet-tooth model is anything to go by.

@Ziggy_Marley_93

You should’ve wrote about six pages worth of blah, then you would’ve won for just putting the effort in.

But honestly, would you be bothered that much if there was no prize invloved? Don’t worry, there’s always next time.

I’d like to see Kain from the legacy of Kain series turn up in Infamous, since they recently did the Festival of Blood, this would still be in-keeping with the way that the series went.

Plus it would give more voice work to Simon Templeman.

Or if we’re sticking with the fighting game genre, how about a Big Daddy from Bioshock facing off against Scorpion or Sub-Zero?

lol Hazel, how gutted would you have felt if you’d done all that and not won. congrats for the most effort i have ever seen x)!

What I’d love to see is myself in any game, imagine: Me on the back of the jetski with Nathan Drake in Uncharted:DF, placing stickers all over LittleBigPlanet with sackboy or save Shaun in Heavy Rain.

I would love to see Mad Max from Carmageddon 2 with his car in NASCAR. That would be a carnage like none other. With all the cars not too far from each other. Using “Opponent Repulsificator”, “AfterBurner”, “Land Mines” and ooooh “Oil Slicks From Your Arse” would just make the crowd go crazy. Viewership will be off the charts!!!
