Please, Somebody, Make This Game!!

I was just about to fall asleep last night when the most-awesome idea for a video game came to me. My hope is that some designer stumbles upon this and decides to make it...

Okay.

You start off as a caveman who's been alive for over a hundred years. You never age. You fight on your own against the elements as time quickly passes by. Soon you're living in the first city-states.

Thousands of years pass and you're forced to adapt throughout human history. You experience every major moment in our past. One day, when science catches up, you learn that the reason for your longevity is because of some bizarre "allergy" to Earth's atmosphere, and the only way you can die is if you leave it.

The game ends when you travel into space on the first civilian flight to Mars. After thousands of years, you get to die.

If you've seen The Man From Earth that's basically what this is, but I wasn't thinking of that film when this idea came to me and - even so - I think it's a really cool idea.

This game would be sick if combat was as real as Operation Flashpoint but had dialogue elements like Fallout 3.

edit: But you can't die wtafaf?

[IGneois]

it would be a much better movie.

[Redddragon895]

reminds me of a vampire...

Not a bad preliminary idea. It could be a great game or movie, or it could be horrible. Depends on who makes it and how they structure it.

I want a game that has no environment, just an endless void of space, an unlimited supply of weapons and ammo, and zombies. No multiplayer.

[DarkMeat]

I doubt it could top this.

It could take the Prince of Persia route, and have the game be a story that's being told, and every time you die is simply a lapse in the storytelling.

I would like this as a movie, but you already ruined the ending. Faggot.

[Dr.Strange]

the cave man could become bush. or you win the game when you star in a geico commercial

[just kyle]

sounds like you were thinking too much about spore.

[Slick37c]

It would be cool if all the super geniuses that changed the world were really that guy and just kept faking deaths and getting professional make-up jobs every morning from his lowly house-whore to look different.

[Molson]

That sounds like a terrible game plot. Or plot in general.

What would the actual gameplay be like?

[BassGuitar25]

He is allergic to Earth's atmosphere... so he doesn't die?

I don't think that is how it works.

i like the idea of the game continuing thru ur children or something better, so like ur cave man charecter dies and then you play as the child. problem is there would be a fuck load of genarations b4 you got to play in a space colony or something.
