Entropia Universe Single player

[arieas]

had the thought, probably stupid, but some sort of single player entropia. Based around the story of Entropia.
Like fighting on robot ships, robot mine, the battle at Zychion.

The player could play a member of RDI, going on missions to complete objectives, like sabotage, and such, like any action game really.
Personally, blasting something that would normally be difficult to kill, like a Second Entity, would be fun.

For a small team 2D would only really be possible, modelling everything, not only long winded, also in violation copyright.
Of course even making a game based on it with the similarities, would breach the copyright laws, so would need the word from MA, or if it was done internally, 3D more likely, could even be done as a mod for crysis.

But besides the implications of law, and other setbacks like time and money etc, would anyone else find it an interesting concept?

Not sure I really get it--Entropia to me IS MMORPG WITH the an RCE--Removing the MMORPG and the RCE(they have to be together as the RCE doesn't really work without the MMORPG) you just have a game like the thousands of games already available. Entropia is what it is because of those 2 components and anything without them, honestly--Just plane lame-- especially if it based around all the fallen story lines of EU.

The thing that makes other games, that are as you described, interesting is the story lines and environments. I can't see how EU would be even remotely competitive in that market with it's current story lines and landscaping. The RCE and the player base is what EU is all about and is what has made it successful--Sure some things can be improved upon but as even you said the amount of time, money, and resources that would have to be dedicated to even produce a failing product in that market--well I just don't see the point.

I see your point, the story is too not really coming together.


I suppose what to mean is using the parts of Entropia to create a single player experience, a spin off from EU. Not actually being EU as it is now, with RCE and such. Like a war with the drones, recreating areas like outposts and such and put into a FPS or 3rd person way to gun down things and such, split off from the EU experience.
Maybe for the sake of just being able to blast at those hard to kill mobs, with non-rpg part of EU.

But just not a real game, probably would not work out a tall, still some people do like weird things.
