Boats in Action Games

Posted by pieperson on Aug. 1, 2008, 12:08 p.m.

There aren't many cool action or FPS games with boats, but I think they would be a worthy addition. Boats would give so much more potential gameplay. I really think it's very sad that not many people are using them in their games. So if anybody reads this who's trying to make an FPS with GM, please use some boats!

Atleast BattleField has boats. Too bad it isn't really much of an action game. It is more like a strategic FPS. But, I think boats would fit perfectly in Halo 3, especially with it's multiplay maps. So please tell me what you think.

As said before, boats increase potential gameplay events.

They also make the "useless water decoration" on your beaches a nice piece of the map.

They could possibly even roll into the story of your game.

So thats why I think action games should use boats much more often.

Not enough? Just call them a fun treat for the player. He/she can run over people in the water… Or get stuck on the beach while being shot to death.

This would also require a diving controll in water, making it harder to be run over in water =P.

My game has a boat, but it's not an FPS.
