Predator mod, any interest? | Forums

[KTM_Calle]

Hello all

I got the demo a few days ago, and will buy the game soon, and im hooked on the idea of making a Predator mod in Far Cry!

For those of you who dont know what i am talking about, Predator is a movie from 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger (the king), where he plays the leader of a black-ops commando deep in the south-american djungle, and they get hunted by this awesome alien (the Predator), wich can cloak itself, shoot lazer (or plasma..hmm), and do lots of other cool stuff, like make cool clicking noises :P

I figured the Crytek engine is the IDEAL engine for this, as i was very disappointed with the Predator part in the game Aliens versus Predator 1 & 2. Imagine you and your team cutting your way through the dense forest, when you suddenly hear clicking noises in the trees above you, and all hell breaks loose.

I used to be active in the Operation Flashpoint modding area, where i worked with Operation White Night, a mod that made the Swedish armed forces, and i am fairly skilled with 3d/2d modeling. Is there any interest for this idea?

Cheers lads

I had the same thought, i asked a buddy what he thought he liked the idea and sent a formal letter to Fox interactive asking for permission, they said no because theres a jungle based predator game out this year and they wouldn't want it to be upstaged.

So i guess if one was made it couldn't be released because it would be illegal

how about if we make it a coaking robot, that is sent from a different galaxy, to kill specimen here and bring back theyr dna and skeletal strukture?

so it wont be a predator mod. it would be a robot mod. or something, hehe.

Robots suck (except Terminator, ofcourse), Arnold and Predator is the way to go :P

Love the Predator idea.

KTM_Calle,

I have had similar thoughts. My idea was to investigate whether or not CryEngine could deal with a computer controlled predator which human controlled players should track down, cooperative style.

Peter

Perhaps hard to get the predator's ai to behave well, maybe one should play the predator instead!

Playing the predator would wreck the entire idea about cooperative multiplayer. A third option, however, would be to pair up the predator versus human counterparts, all being played by living people; "the player inflicting the most damage to the predator will take its part the upcoming round".

The idea has crossed my mind, bu copyright is an issue, as fox is very strict...so I thought:

The covert ops guys could be the same and ****, but why not just make a new monster?...I'll have a go at some concepts today or tomorrow and will see if i can get my scanne going... nothing but the monster would really have to shange...of course the name..maybe "Gut splattered human flesh"
