Who would buy an equipment video game?

That would be awsome if this accually works.

It'd be really awesome, just hope the market is there to produce such a thing...

I think that if we get enough input from others they might see it as profitable.

Having any luck there. Have had a few good ideas form tractors by net. Customizing machines and having manyjobsites and types of work to keep it from getting boring.

Eh, I got mixed results, I am goin to bring it back to the top, might post it in another place over there. But most of the answers were either yes, its a waste of time imo, or they didnt answer seriously (imagine that.. haha)

Wow. Sonething I thought was interesting was that by having specilized controlers for the machines.

Yeah, it'd be a lot more fun if they had actual joysticks for running the trackhoe instead of just using a regular Playstation remote or something..

 

[dieselnut]

Deffinitly would. I tell you some people have great ideas that I would never have thought of. Good thing we are asking.

 

[jlm335]

Yeah it is, do you have any idea how we/you are goin to address a game creating company with this idear?

 

[dieselnut]

Not really that shure. I was thinking along the lines of some type of something to email them or mail to them outlining what we would like and the facts on how many people like this and what they want. Something like that.

I am going to copy the link to the dozer and excavator thread so others will be able to see it.

:nono

That's what's known as "crossposting" and is generally considered bad "netiquette". I'm sure anybody interested in this topic has already read it in this forum.

 

[Clayton M]

Sorry about that, I just thought that it would be a good way to get some more people involved. I will not do it again.

 

[digger242j]

No harm done. Don't worry about it...

There were a few machines in some of the Grand Theft Auto games that were fun to play with, even a few cranes.

Anybody seen ditch digger?

Will there be any chasing of the greenie treehuggers with a bulldozer?
What about bribing the local officials to win that contract?
Hiring hitmen to take out the competition?
Seriously though the problem I see is that there is two schools of thought here, one is the machine simulation and the other is a business simulation.
Personally I would go for the business simulator type, a machine simulator would get real boring real quick, the stick goes down, the bucket digs in, the boom goes up, now do it a 1000 times but hitting the truck will loose you points, as will half buckets
BTW I voted no, as I would not buy a equipment simulator but would a business simulator and I enjoy playing transport tycoon now and again
