Multiple games in ONE online game
Thinking about massively multiplayer online games, this idea popped into my
head:
Why not have a game where you can choose from different genres for different experiences on the same server? Let me give an example to try to explain what my concept is; in this case I'll use a war game:
Like first person shooters? Then go out to the battlefield picking up weapons and making cannon fodder out of other players and computer controlled players. Like real time strategies? Then control a small group of individually rather weak computer controlled players. Like role-playing games? Then start out as a weaker player that can become more powerful as the game progresses. Like Sims? Then be one of the 'middlemen' and find the right way to run a business that profits from the different sides waging war upon each other. Like action games? Then be one of the secretive operatives gaining information for the other side and assonating leaders. Like strategy games? Then plan out and execute assaults on the bases of other sides.
For the genres that don't quite fit so well into war games (sports and fighting), there could be 'arenas' within each 'city' of each warring side where sports are held for people to take breaks from the stresses of war.
This could be one of the most unique games ever. Although it wouldn't introduce anything new in each genre, it's the idea that all of these genres would be put into one game. Best of all, the replay value would be astronomical. Of course, the difficulty of making a game like this would also be astronomical.
One way that this could be implemented in a game would be to have there be a collection of different games that can be 'linked' together over the Internet into one giant community, but this still would be something difficult to implement.
As a whole, this idea would be so hard to implement that it might be impossible. Getting a game code that transcends different gameplays would be quite hard, especially one over the Internet. There is also the fact that I haven't explained this in the best amount of words, but a good game company could create this into one outstanding title.

I did spend some time figuring out your idea, but as I got what you try to explain (at least I think I got it), I had to smile. This idea has to be almost impossible to program, but if one game company decide to try it, I would be very happy. With the possibility to chat, it would be very funny.
An example, to explain how I imagine this game: Two of the Game Discovery crew members playing this game(s) and chatting:
- Vegard [ Playing
AlienZ ] - Hey Anders, what are you doing/playing?
- Anders [
Playing Driver2 ] - I'm chased be some cops
downtown!
- Vegard [ Playing
AlienZ ] - He, he.. I'm blasting ALIENS!
- Anders [
Playing Driver2 ] - Aliens..
- Vegard [ Playing
AlienZ ] - Yeah.
- Anders [
Playing Driver2 ] - Wanna play tennis?
- Vegard [
Playing AlienZ ] - Sounds great!
- Anders [
In the game MENU ] * Meet me downtown, -
the tennis field..
- Anders [
Playing Tennis ] - Hey, I'm wating…
- Vegard [
In the game MENU ] * Just a sec.. I'm driving
my tank as fast as possible, just have to find the way..
