Quoting: razing32Do you mean something like the classic isometric games ?
Or something like the Bethesda games were you have a FPS/Third person shooter with RPG elements to spice things up ?

If the community would come up with something like Wasteland 2, I'd appreciate (and play!) this, too.
But I was dreaming of the full modern monty, huge open world, "next-gen" graphics, FPS/third-person view.
"Open source triple AAA", if you want.

Well for it to be truly open source , I think you would need an engine built from scratch.
Not sure how much work that would be. I am thinking a pretty huge project.
Then you need all the content creators.
Not saying it would be impossible but I cannot fathom how you would coordinate a team that big. Most people would have to donate their time.

Quoting: razing32Hmm not sure what you mean . Don't we have a tone of open source games from Wesnoth to Glest , from Nexuiz to OpenArena. Warzone2100 , Freecol , Freeciv etc, etc.

Mainly I mean something new that doesn't look like it's from the 2000's (Whatever last decade is called.) or even 90ies. Let's dream: Something like the next Fallout.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkStill though, my point is, the assets aren't strictly required. Someone could create their own.

(Of course, everybody is free to do with his time what he wants, but...)
I wonder if something more exciting could be created putting all the energy into a modern full-featured fully open game. Or if we lack the creative power. (I certainly do.)

Do you mean a third person action game like tomb raider ? or ?

I have plenty of creative ideas but barely any skills in coding , no skills in graphics and sound and my voice sounds like an asthmatic donkey who smokes 5 packs a day.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI can see the potential of this one if they add a random maze generator.

Agree.
Also steam workshop support would be great.

Good review.
Curios how long the game is and if there is a possibility to add community made level packs.
Would add more playability.

This makes me thing how many of these projects are out there in the nebulous obscurity of the internet( OpenMW , GemRB to name a few.)

I like the concept of this game and want to buy it but I am hesitant as it is still in EA and I am very torn.

Quoting: EhvisI noticed The Final Station at 67% off. Would that be worth it?

It's a short game.
And it does the typical zombie game tropes . Standard ,armored , heavy , fast.
Pistol , shotgun , machine gun.

The train aspect is bland and lifeless.

Story is ok-ish.

Atmosphere and art is great.

If you check the amount of time I played it on steam , that is an entire playthrough (sans achievements - I really couldn;t be bothered)

I was gonna mention every person having a different opinion on a game but if the issues are around bugs and controls that's pretty much less opinion and more objective issue.

Good to know.
