thread about things you'd like to see in games.
me: a FPS game with a dynamic time-of-day and weather system.
maps can have any time of day or night (sunrise/sunset, morning/evening, midday, night). also, maps can have weather effects like snow, rain, wind, hail, fog and perhaps sandstorm, all in varying degrees (ex. light rain, normal rainy, heavy rain). the sky can be sunny or overcast.
I think implementing such a system would make a game both more atmospheric and replayable, but it might be too much work to be worth it... I don't really know how difficult it should be to add.
STALKER does this.
Minecraft does this.
Literally STALKER with added bonus of random bouts of nuclear holocaust from time to time.

I SO want that as a feature in multiplayer FPS games.
Tie in the map rotation's Time of Day to the server's local time, it would be amazing.

I'd love this in a SWAT game. Actually I'd love just a modern SWAT game with massive levels/multiple entrances/etc.

Like said already: STALKER games did this already, almost a decade ago. Also had dynamic AI system, "A-Life", that kept things moving and unpredictable in the world, so no encounter would be 100% identical.

they have that, its called GTA5
>>313075174
Mgsv literally does this

Considering we've had such systems since late 90s, with games like Zelda:OoT having real-time day / night cycles on N64 already, it really wouldn't be even a challenge. Hell, Unity 3D has a pre-made asset on the asset store that does JUST that for you, automatically, allowing you to change settings and skyboxes for the different times, etc.
MGS5 also had large open world maps, with real time day-night cycles and changing weather effects.

Interstellar Marines does sped up day/night cycles on its multiplayer maps.
Yeah I know, early access blah blah blah.
>>313079219
That damn thing has been early access/demo for over 3 years what the fuck are they doing.
I want a game that's not a game.

Don't remind me that this game is dead, op.
>>313075174
best map for silenced MP5
>>313075174
Crysis had TOD on mp maps, not sure about weather other than the rainy or snowy maps.

Still making PVP content and bad marketing decisions. I just want more single player missions.
