Starting Early...

Getting started before Uni begins is definitly a good idea so that i can get back into the swing of things, also so that i can keep my creative juices flowing.

One of the artists in the class pitched an idea for a hack and slash genre game, similar to games like:


Dynasty Warriors - Release date: March 7, 2008 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)
[skip to 0:48 for combat]


Lord of the Rings video games (Gamecube, PlayStation 2, Xbox)


Sengoku Basara (Devil Kings) series (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii)

Arena based combat, with enemies filling out the arenas. The player would have a 9 characters of choose to fight with, each with different fighting styles. The main catch of the gameplay mechanic is that RPG class elements will be implimented.  
Tank, Crowd Control, Close Quarter Combat (CQC?) and Ranged.

I actually like the idea and i would like to throw my ideas and concepts/models into it aswell, as hack and slash is one of my favourite genres in gaming. As long as i would be able to be a character concepter/modeller in the idea.
