I'll start with this one:

A gun that makes all the hairs on the target's body stand up, become hard as steel, and shoot backwards into the target's own body and out the other side simultaneously.

The Slice-net. Kinda like the one used by the Predator in AVP, except instead of it just being used on a single target, you could use it to slice through as many targets as you have room for by adjusting the length of the cables. It would launch six gravity-defying metal orbs outwards with three orbs on each side holding three different cables. Basically a giant egg slicer.

Back in the Descent days I loved the Guided missile so much. I had an idea to expand upon it.

The Guided missile is exactly what t sounds likes; it a missile you guide with your controls. I wanted to have it leave a white trail behind it. If another player (or yourself, of course) touched that trail, both the trail and the missile would explode, damaging anything near-by. It was far more suited as a deterrent for going somewhere than attacking, and the setup to use it would require that you have both ample time and a safe place to fire it off... but I think it could have been fun for at least a few levels.

Le pointy stick. No. Actually what I have in mind is a special staff that can absorb or reflect bullets made up of certain energy types and fire them back. Only a certain number of course. Otherwise it would be cheating. Maybe it could be all-powerful in some kind of sandbox mode. Anyway, think gravity gun only with energy, not barrels.

Seriously? I've played all the Final Fantasy games from the NES through the PSX, so unless FFX, XI, or XII have such a weapon, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done yet. Are you referring to the sprite effects of earlier games? Because looking like an explosion on impact and actually being an explosion on impact are two completely different things.

Now:
A glove that uses electromagnetic field manipulation to control two independently-spinning circular saw blades stuck together like one blade through a mobile space-time rift. It's basically a glorified chainsaw, only a lot cooler, a lot quicker, and a lot messier.

Actually, scratch that. Make it a sphere of blades spinning in opposing directions in a space-time rift! Much better. Yes. I am pleased with this (nods head with eyes closed and arms folded).

Incendiary shurikens in Ninja Gaiden. Less complex and much more effective than the asinine idea you came up with there.

Essentially it's just a throwing knife with a small explosive attached to it.

Very cool. Now we're gettin' somewhere. I shall try to build on this dynamic. Hmm............................................... .................................................. .................................

Okay how about this: To start with it's a giant four-point shuriken that you control with electromagnetics, but if you press hard into a tiny point in the middle of it, it splits into two halves which can be used as blades individually or reconnected at the tips to form a bow with syphoning plasma for a bowstring (which could be pulled back like any other bowstring using special gloves).

A) They're too much work.
B)No one looks at them but the person writing them and people who stumble on them by accident (who never go there again)
C)Because you told me to after questioning the greatness of purplecowdom, and I resent that.

I'd like to see a pistol that shoots needles. No, not the Needler. Not the Spiker either. I mean like the needles you get shots with, minus the syringe. Shooting someone with it would be easy, but it would demonstrate true skill in the player that kills with it, as you would need to hit your target perfectly through a vital point on their body to kill them (Such as the heart or brain) Unlike other guns though, only these types of places would kill anyone at all. Other spots wouldn't ever kill someone, even if they were one shot away from being dead.

I don't know. It just sounds cool to me. What would you want to see in a weapon? FYI, it doesn't have to be physically plausible, because it'd be in a game.

Oh, while I'm at it, here's another ridiculously awesome idea: The Leech Dart. This biomechanical nightmare is basically everything that a Metroid does to a person after latching onto their face, packed inside a readily accessible projectile. The only difference being that instead of it taking a few seconds to drain away their life energy, giving them a few moments time to yank it out and throw it back at you (although that could be cool too), it happens instantaneously.

How about something original. Picture two nail guns, held in both hands. The nails have a line of barb wire between them, so you have to shoot with the left and right hands at the same time.

Or maybe one gun, with split barrels, that shoot at a slight angle, producing the same effect.

Purplecowofdoom, get some damn imagination. Perhaps this thread would be acceptable if you were a game designer or moviemaker looking to brainstorm ideas for unique weapons to put in a game.

The New Nostalgia: What was lost between mario kart 64 and MK: wii? In my dorm, we have an n64 and an Xbox. The n64 sees much more wear and tear than the Xbox, even though the games library for the 64 is sparse and we only have 2 controllers. Why is this?

See? That only took like a minute. And notice it's open ended- this question could have any number of answers, perhaps not even relating to video games. Hopefully some would share their views and opinions on the cultural impact of nostalgia as well.

It's not that hard, man. You can do better

I apologize if it was unclear, but my post was meant to be parodical of the inherent nature of these threads, and was not entered seriously. :3

EVERY SINGLE SPELLING MISTAKE was calculated to display the kind of childish, dumb, and simplistic nature of threads like these. It actually pissed me off to read this thread- at least it's one of few of its kind.

Purplecowofdoom, get some damn imagination. Perhaps this thread would be acceptable if you were a game designer or moviemaker looking to brainstorm ideas for unique weapons to put in a game. As it is, it's a giant circlejerk(odd, considering you're the only one who still takes this thread seriously) brainstorming session with no end to work towards, and no brains to feed it.

Well obviously this thread isn't working towards an end. It wasn't meant to. It's just a thread for people to bounce ideas off each other and see what other people like, with weapons as the medium. It can be kinda fun to see what other people think, when what they're thinking is positive. Apparently this isn't possible with a few of you. I don't mind you having these issues, but deal with them elsewhere. You guys are the only ones acting like this and trying to wreck the thread, noone else. You know what I do when I don't like a thread? I don't post on it. You say I lack imagination. If this is true, then you lack intellect. Go get some.

I could do a topic like that, and maybe I will in the future. But right now I'm doing this...deal.

yeesh... harsh.

I know! how about some kind of Sword that over-reacts and insults the people that disagrees with it. not only does it affect those who its aimed at but it also has an AOE of anyone who sees it, causing judgmental thoughts of the sword and an overall negative mood.

YEAH! totally! OMFG that would be the best weapon that should be in a game but isn't.

Its true, it's possible I may not know how to "properly pick sides" but Its even more plausible that I think that neither side is worthy of support from me, so I've made up my own side, and Picked it very well. That side would be "Hey-some-douche-made-a-ridiculous-thread-and-people-are-calling-it-ridiculous and-now-he's-over-reacting-and-that-makes-the-whole-thing-the-more-absurd"

for real tho? the best weapon that isn't in the game that should be....

And now the thread takes a sharp turn toward Locksville, picking up speed as it starts coasting downhill. I figure another few miles and she'll be right downtown.

It's been a fun ride, but I'm getting off now. See you at the bottom!

I know! a gun that verbally abuses those that the gun is aimed at. It doesn't hurt them physically but it lowers their self confidence and hurts their feelings a little.


Nothing harsh about it. This EXACT SAME THREAD exists over at The Escapist, with similar results.

As the closest thing we have to an official Pokémon guy, I must ask you to not use the names, likenesses or concepts related, in part or in whole, of the Pokémon franchises.

Especially if you're going to post like a ten-year old Gamefaqs user doing so.

How about a missile that shoots smaller missiles, and each one of those missiles shoots lasers? Call it a laser-missile swarm-missile.

A machine gun that fires lasers trapped in mirrors.

Shit, I just realized who that is. The answer is yes.
A sniper that shoots capsules that tells the victims body cells to catch fire.
I think a simper rifle would be better for shooting. The sniper's arms would get tired after a while.
A machine gun that fires lasers trapped in mirrors.
Sort of like Mirror Master's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_Master) gun, but fully auto?
A forum with no useless hate.
Now you're just being crazy.

Okay deal. And I am 18 as of March '07. I'm just more or less mature based on the circumstances, as is anyone else. Unless you're a robot. Or a politician. Or a robot-politician. Wait. They're all robots. Nevermind.

How about kinetic knuckles? They would be like your standard brass knuckles, only instead of just a punch, after that a blast of pure kinetic energy stored up from punching people could be unleashed in a wave all at once, and the kinetic energy could be altered into any shape you wanted as you release it, also affecting the amount of extra damage done.

I think Batman has a pair of those, depending on which media you want to go with. They're silver, fit around his fists, and he uses them on bigger, tougher opponents that don't usually take any damage from normal punches. They tend to have some form of energy sparkling around them.

Perhaps a gun that shoots special syringes that have a mechanism that causes them to self-inject upon sticking in the target's flesh, thus deploying their payload of a large quantity of pure insulin and causing the foe to collapse in a diabetic coma

Well, you're trying, but you're at least a few years too late. I don't know about games from the past too much to tell if they had this in them, but Metroid Prime 2 has the Darkburst and Megaman 9 has the Black Hole Bomb.

My next weapon proposal is not so much a new weapon (Dwemer Shock Darts from Morrowind), but more of a gimmick that I think it should employ. After adding the gimmick, however, it would essentially be a new weapon. Take the basic concept of the shock dart from Morrowind and stick it in a game set in the future, the only other setting where this weapon belongs (aside from alien invasion type games). Then add to its already devastating attack power the trait of making everything electrical stretching out one city block in each direction short out. This would make this weapon a double edged sword. On one hand, you get instant kills with it. On the other hand, every time you use it and it hits a wall instead of the target, you basically turn the whole environment into a Doom 3 knockoff. Oh, and get rid of the dart's insane blast radius. Otherwise it wouldn't matter if you couldn't see. Also, give the enemy night vision so the darkness you create doesn't give you a potential edge. Okay, I'm done now.

I just watched a movie (it sucked) that had an awesome idea for a gun that needs to be used somewhere. It's a gun made from the bones and cartilage of a specially-bred mutant lizard that fires human teeth. It's made of and shoots bones to avoid metal detectors. Cool stuff.
