Evil is the new good

well like the topic says evil is the new good. no one wants to be the goody goody anymore. everyone is turning towards the dark evil side. more and more games are giving you the option to dance on the dark side. the coolest and strongest charcters are evil or anti-heroes. more and more games have you being the anti hero. instead of fighting for what's good and right you are now able to do what only benefits you, and kill innocents if you want

examples of anti-hero/villain games
The Punisher
Prince Persia 3
GOW
GTA
Saints Row
The Godfather
DMC
Ninja Gaiden
City of Villains
Star Wars: KOTOR I & II
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Fable
Metroid prime 3 (rumors of being dark samus)
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Hitman
Destroy all humans
sonic (thanks to shadow. i mean both shadow the hedgehog and shadow on here)

All of these games are Top Sellers and have done great in the market.

Hero games
LOZ (which is doing great)
Mario (fell off since sunshine but found itself with super mario bros DS)
Metroid Prime
Final Fantasy


i can't think of anymore topselling games where you are the good guy but add to the list if you can.

Now as you can see there is nothing wrong with any games that i have named. they have all sold many units and gamers are always begging for the next installment in the series. The key success to the anti-hero games are choice. no one wants to play a game where you are forced to be the good guy and can never make your own decisions. no one wants to overcome evil through sheer hope. people want to cause destruction and rule the world now.

Sonic has become real anti hero, you can always pick the dark side now a days. I see where you are going with this, though I consider myself on the neutral side.

yeah anti-heroes are neutral. like riddick. thats why the game i'm making doesn't have a happy ending. good will not win neither will evil, but one man will fulfill his ambition.

Programming can be quite difficult, and it takes a while to learn. Game programming is also the most difficult form of programming, so I don't think that's a good place to start.

There's a difference between a challenge and impossible. Trying to pick up game programming right away is impossible, I won't get into he details, but you're better off learning a programming language first, practicing it by making simple applications, and then moving onto game programming. Virus and myself are the only members that I know of who are even close to being able to program a game, and it takes a while to learn enough about a programming language to get even that far.
