With the great success of the Batman Arkham, I think that there is a chance for more good video games based on comic-books. I believe that a Punisher game will be very cool.
The game will be an 3
rd Pearson open world game. Like GTA and Watch Dogs, the game will be set in a city, and I want it to be Detroit. Just like in any other open world-send box game, the player will be allowed to go anywhere he wants in the city. The Punisher can drive cars and ride bikes, but if you can’t run random pedestrians over (but you can run over criminals), it will like in the Assassins Creed games, if you kill more than 3 NPC’s, the game will restart.
Story:
The story takes place 2 years after Frank Castle’s wife and two children are killed by the mob in New-York. Frank has been punishing for less than 2 years, and he mainly been killing people from the criminal organization that is responsible to his family’s death. He comes to Detroit after finding out that one of the men who killed his family is there.
The Punisher soon learns that things are very bad in the city, and a criminal named “Barracuda” has been killing people just for fun. There is also a gang war that is about to begin. One thing leads to another, and Punisher finds himself in the middle of all of this, as he is doing the best thing he knows, punishing.
The Punisher will get some help from David Lieberman aka Microchip, and also Mickey Fondozzi, a criminal that Punisher recruits to be his little spy in Barracuda gang. Micro would supply the Punisher with high-tech vehicles and equipment
The Punisher will not only fight the different gangs in the city, but also the corrupt cops, who will try to kill him.
The Punisher will have different weapons he can use, from guns, knives and bombs. He also can use some stealth skills and some free running and Parkour. There will be a skill tree, and you will get XP pints from doing anything in the game.
Weapons, items and skills:
The Punisher will have many weapons in the game.
The melee weapons will be anything that Punisher can get his hands on. The game will have distractible environments, so he can use broken wood, or broken pipes as weapons. He also has an army knife, which will be very good for silent takedowns and fast kills. Punisher can also use his fists for melee attacks. You can also use empty guns as melee weapons.
The Punisher has the skills to tag enemies using his night-vision goggles. You will have something like the detective vision from the Batman games.
Punisher will have different handguns and pistols. After an upgrade in the skill tree, you will be able to carry one pistol in each hand, and shot them at the same time. Punisher will also have a Stun Gun and an UZI.
You can attach a silencer to any gun in the game.
As far as the Sub-Machine Guns, you will have access to guns like: Micro SMG, Assault SMG, MP5, AKS-74U, FN P90 and more.
You will have few Shotguns, like: The Pump Shotgun, Sawed-Off Shotgun, Auto Assault-12, A Riot shotgun, Mossberg 500 and a Browning Citori.
Assault Rifles: M16 rifle, AK-74, Heckler & Koch HK416, Kel-Tec KSG, Tavor TAR-21, Heckler & Koch G36, M249 light machine gun and more.
You will also have few Sniper Rifles.
Also some special Weapons like: An RPG, a MGL Grenade Launcher, a Minigun, a Bow and arrow and few more.
As far as bombs go, you will have Sticky Bombs, IED, Frag Grenades, tear gas, stun grenade, smoke bomb, EMP bomb, Incendiary grenade and a Molotov Cocktail .
Missions:
There will be many “story missions”, as Punisher will get his mission in different places in the city.
There will be an RPG element, since you will get to make some big choices in the game. Sometimes you will need to choose if you going to kill someone, or let him go.
In addition there will be different kinds of side-missions that the player can do. Here is a list of the side-missions:
Gang attack – In gang attack, your mission is to infiltrate a gang hideout and take the gang members out. You can go guns blazing, or use some stealth skills to take the gangs members one by one. The gang attacks are little like the Outpost missions in Far Cry 3. Every time you complete a “gang attack” mission you clear a part of the map, and the gang’s hideout will become Punisher’s Safehous, and you can use it for fast travel.
Completing every mission like this will reward the player with XP, and also will unlock special weapons.
Vigilante – The vigilante missions are random missions that will appear in the map. As a vigilante you will need to stop different crimes. You will need to stop muggers, rapists, thieves and killers. You will have to get in time and stop the criminals before they commit the crime to get extra XP.
Kidnap - Unlike “gang attack”, in “Kidnap” missions you have to use stealth, as you must kidnap one gang member. These missions will be like the Splinter Cell games. You can get in, and kill everyone like a ninja, and extract your target, or for extra XP, you can do it as a ghost, with no killing, with no body knowing that you were ever there. The Kidnap mission will give the payer more XP, and also will unlock new stealth skills, like silent takedowns and more.
Road Rage – The Road Rage missions are missions where you have to take down a criminal who tries to escape you by a car or a bike. But the missions will get harder, because the criminals can call for backup, and also can call the cops for help. Completing these missions will unlock new cars and bikes.
Illegal street races – well to buy stuff in this game, Punisher will need some cash, and so Punisher will be able to be part of some street races. There will be different kind of races, from the typical races (like in GTA), to one-on-one races, to drag races, to races with weapons enabled and more. Since the races are illegal, the cops will try to take you out while you race. And since it’s Detroit, the other drivers will try to kill you as well. You can also play online.
Parkour/Free Running Races – ever wanted to be part of a Parkour race? Well in the Parkour races you will race on foot. You will race against different NPC’s, or you can go one-on-one, or a beat the clock race. You can also play this missions Online.
Fight Club – Punisher is going to kick some ass in the Fight club. In the Fight club you will be fighting one-on-one and also against multiple enemies in hand-to-hand combat. There will be some fights that you can use melee weapons. You can also play online.
Paintball Wars – The Paintball Wars are a Detroit sport. You can be part of a team in a team vs. team battle, or you can go one-against-everyone. No killing, and this is why you will be using paintball guns. These are also can be played online.
Online War – The online war is a mission that you will be playing with other players. It’s similar to Paintball Wars, only this time you will be using real weapons.
In addition there will be different collectibles, some will unlock new skins and suits for the Punisher and more cool unlockables.
There will be many things to do in this Punisher game, but the main point of the game is to make you feel like
The Punisher.
