Let's say you were going to make an ambitious crossover style game in the style of Super Smash Bros, Lego Dimensions or Dead by Daylight... but this game would draw characters, designs, enemies and settings from action film (or television franchises).
Here's the concept.
A: Pick a Protaganist (John Rambo, Burt Gummer, John Wick)
B: Choose their weapon leadout (1 up to 9 selections ranging from the basic melee/pistol and going through shotguns, assault rifles and even heavier weapons)
C. Choose a level that would come from or be inspired by their setting.
D. Choose what enemies from said protagonists franchise (including at least one boss) that would be in the game.
E. Throw in whatever else you want, special power ups or abilities or semi-scripted scenes you'd like to see. (John Matrix in a shed with farming implements, or some sort of car/helicopter/gunship chase sequence, or John McClane explosion laden escape stunt quicktime event)
BTW... how many of these action protagonists have the first name John? Wow.
My example:
A) Jack Bauer of the television series 24.
B Weapons)
B1) Microtech Halo OTF Knife
B2) Heckler & Koch USP Compact ("silencer" optional)
B3) Mossberg 500 Shotgun
B4) Colt M4A1 Assault Rifle
B5) C-4 Explosives
C Level) CTU Los Angeles: CTU has been overtaken by a group of well armed and highly trained terrorists who are currently holding his daughter and all of his co-workers hostage. The mission of the protagonist will be to infiltrate the compound and neutralize all enemies to ensure the safe rescue of the hostages. Despite this being a hostage rescue level, stealth will be very optional. Climax will have the main villain attempting to flee on a rooftop helipad helicopter with the final hostage.
D Enemies) Besides generic PMC style commandos, Middle Eastern terrorists, and the like Eastern European operatives, the protaganist will be stalked by the ever eponymously nicknamed (Naked) Mandy who will be stalking the protagonist and waiting for the right time to strike. The climax of the level will have him fight on the rooftop of the building through waves of mooks before leaping aboard a helicopter and engaging in a duel with katanas with Cheng Zhi (who is Chinese but no matter) and after defeating him, will rescue the final hostage and land the helicopter.
E Special) The CTU Los Angeles level will host several quick time events of various levels of quality/annoyance where you'll have to rescue hostages held at gunpoint via pistol headshots, hand to hand combat scenes where you'll be using improvised weapons such as fire axes, jumper cables, neck punches and sleeperholds, and no less then three quicktime events where you'll be forced to interrogate a suspect for mission critical, time and data sensitive information also used improvised weapons such as fire axes, jumper cables, neck punches and criminal misuse of tasers and bladed weaponry.
