The melodrama in that game trailer is...indescribable.



Voice number 3, the reporter? Terrible. Sounds like the kids in my high school journalism class when they tried to be funny and act like "real reporters" (stealing Will Ferrel Jokes)

I am hoping the game is made like king kong was.Where you can play in first person with the human and then about half way through you get 2 play as clover in third person.

I think a Cloverfield video game would be like Dead Rising, in that you would have a limited amount of time (Say 1 real-time day, which gives you a pretty long game experience if they can keep up the intensity, or 1 real-time 12 hour period total, if they want to keep it short) to do tasks, almost all of which are optional. Most of these would involve recording the monster. For example, you get on your Hud HUD a message (if you're playing Hud as opposed to an original character), or hear on a soldier's radio that the monster is attacking the Empire State Building. You can keep heading toward the evacuation point, or you can haul ass to get a recording of the monster laying the place to waste, which would add to your completion percentage. Advantages of a higher completion percentage would be unlockables, such as a New Game+ feature, or even a Cloverbeast level where you fight the military and try to wreck the city as a reward for 100% completion.

If you play as an original character, there would of course have to be a point where you can record the movie characters. Examples being: Passing through the department store and getting a recording of Marlena's corpse, seeing the bridge with Jason on it be crushed, Rob's helicopter lifting off/getting smacked down, etc. You would have multiple endings and end levels, including one where you film the military enacting Hammerdown on Clovey from a helicopter, where the challenge would be getting a decent recording as opposed to survival, and being in Central Park at the end of your time period, where you would have to dodge the monster, catch Hud's demise, and have a few seconds to catch Rob and Beth hiding under Greyshot bridge. Each of the special "Character Recordings" would earn you an unlockable regardless of completion percentage, such as a gun, clothing, Hud's cam (which would never run out of batteries, or some other thing to make it superior to your default camera), etc.

The tutorial level would be Rob taking Beth out to Coney Island, or the original character (who could be a tourist or back from out of town) exploring the city with his camera, so that the player could familiarize themselves with not only the controls, but also the layout of the city, since a GPS would be a high-level unlockable. Normally, you would have a paper map accessible from the start menu, and *gulp* have to read street signs. The inherent difficulty of that would be helped, though, by NPC's giving you directions and being able to plot your path on the start map. Since even a dramatically scaled down NYC would be huge, you could use cars (though there'd be a lot of traffic jams and you'd have to find ones with keys still in), hitch rides with the military (which would be very dangerous, but potentially a lot quicker than your other routes, especially if you're just trying to get to the evacuation point), and a bicycle, which would be your second-most used form of transport besides your feet.



This is all kind of off the top of my head, so maybe I'll detail more ideas about my ideal Cloverfield game if this post doesn't sound too douchey when I re-read it, like how you could add to the Tagruato storyline without getting too silly or out of character.
