The Pitch

Well this week I will be pitching a game. During out last class my idea was shot down a bit. I first had an idea of a parody game but I threw that out myself because it comes too close to crossing the intellectual property line. Then I pitched an idea about a first person shooter that mixes the destruction and chase of GTA and the heavy guns of halo and all the other great war games. I want a single character with two mini guns to battle through 6 capital cities to take to get to the largest building in the city. Once he reaches the final challenge of the level the character must battle that countries military while simultaneously using SAPHIE rounds to blast out the supports of the tallest building to bring it down. This is a maximum cause and effect game. The group was not very receptive to the idea though. One stated that he hates war games, and the another that it didn't sound fun. When I think about this game I get excited to play it and make it so I thought maybe this is just the thoughts of two extreme games so I went out the public (not my friends, or anyone I know). Their responses were all positive and many heavy gamers gave me emails and gamertags to contact when/if we make it. So I think my problem may be in the expression of the game. I hope to I'll be able to make the prospect appealing for the pitch on tuesday.
