I had a thought for a new computer game.
There are plenty of assassin style games out there, the lone hitman faced with the challenge of taking out the mark and getting away clean. ‘Hitman-47’ is a good example that I’ve actually played.
So I thought, what about a game from the other perspective?
You take the possition of the body guard, or security expert or whatever you want to call it. Start off small with minor dignitaries and you as the soul bodyguard. Could work up to being in charge of mulitple team members and security procedures at events.
The game could have different paths, do you become an offical bodyguard, with the hope of ending up protecting the president or someone high up like that, or do you go and work for the mob working your way up to protect the mob boss. Perhaps even you’d become a private bodyguard, working for rich people or singers/actors, that kind of area.
Lots of opportunities for very cool stuff, just need someone to take the idea and do it.
Ah yes, "Hitman-47", a great game indeed.
As were its 46 predecessors…
😉
sounds cool
Cheers jr, it would be so cool if a game developer took the idea and went with it, I think it has potential.
you know, sitting here reading your blogs and the answers to the comments…makes me think that Rob could become a childrens presenter!!!…..you have the ability to answer questions, come back with witty comments and generally be a well rounded human being….you have a lack of a criminal record (not necessary but it helps!)…you are very very calm (always good when the star guests’ pet python starts to swallow small children from the audience) and as long as we can convince you to add a few brightly coloured cardigans to your wardrobe…..your set!!! stardom and fame will be just around the corner…..
I see one fatal flaw.
If you want to develop character attachment, you don’t really want to put the player in a position where to win, they have to take the bullet… 🙂
For some reason I wasn’t seeing it as a leaping bodyguard ‘noooooo’ type game. I do see your point though.
If that happens they could always cut and have you waking up in hospital or something 🙂
