Mafia or Splinter Cell

For an upcoming first-person shooter, that me and a friend are going to start on soon, we need a theme.

We have narrowed it down to Mafia/Gang shooter or a Splinter Cell like game.

What do you think?

I don't care what the storyline is as long as there is multiplayer!

It sounds like this thread belongs in the Program Ideas section. Just a thought...

Cool idea! I've waiting a long time for someone to come up with a Clancy-type game like Rainbow 6 or Splinter Cell.

* What languages are you considering (BASIC?, ASM?, hybrid?, etc.)
* Is 3D involved? What technique? (Raycast?, Scaling?, etc.)
* Any other special features in general?

One other thing to consider--if you go with the Mafia theme, keep things clean. Many a game like DrugWars/PimpWars and several others have been pulled because of lewd materials.

I say splinter cell would be better. And, hey, there's 'pimpin bobby' in the ticalc archives, so they can't be THAT strict. And if you DO go with the mafia theme, well, you know what would be really cool? Mussolini's mafia!

We are planning on releasing two games at once.

First, we are going to make a 2D Arcade-type rail shooter.

After we are finished, we are going to make a Raytracer. We are going to try to make varying sizes of walls, stairs, maybe balconies.

The 2D version will be the first installment of the series, the 3D second.

This will all be in Asm, with the help of TI-Power.

BTW The gang idea will involve a mafia/gang family that takes over the Chicago mafia in the 1920's-1930's. When Capone is sent to Alcatraz, the family gains power. But 3 of your brothers are killed in a hit by an unknown group. You discove this group, track them down, and get revenge, regaining your families power in the Windy City!

As you can tell I am the group member that likes the mafia theme!

Moved to program ideas.

I never really like Mafia or Splinter Cell. Mafia was annoying with the 10 second music loops and Splinter Cell was too slow.

But any FPS on calc is good news
