Discussion: What Kind of Pony Game Would You Prefer?

There have been plenty of fake game screens and pictures floating around for a while now.  What kind of game would YOU prefer to play a pony in? 


Genre Ideas:
MMORPG
Western RPG (Open World-Oblivion)
Japanese RPG (Linear Story-Final Fantasy)
2D Fighter
3D Fighter
RTS
Shooter
Platformer (My personal pony dream game, Ratchet and Clank style!)

MMORPG and Platformer, not really anything else.

Lily said...

totally a mmorpg! i would play that all the time.. possibly the same for shooters and RTS!.

The first 3 and platformer.

What anon said. Can't see anything else working well, except maybe a W/JRPG.

RTS is just silly.

What kind do I want? The playable kind.
Preferably with me in it.

3D fighting game much like DBZ budokai

FPS.

It has to be doable... some how

2d fighter for sure

A 2D/3D fighting pony game.


FUND IT.

Batty Gloom said...

Any of the first three. I think the MMORPG is the best because it takes advantage of the Brony community but having either an open world RPG or a slightly linear game with a great story would still be great.

@AnonymousHypothetically speaking of course

RTS and shooters for ponies would be really strange. I'd like a W/JRPG or MMORPG.

ZAquanimus said...

Gimmie Pony Games. PERIOD.

Also make Luna a tier of her own, above uber tier.

That is all~

A Caesar/Simcity kind of game.

Probably japenese RPG, or platformer (if its like ratchet and clank)

Platformer, would be perfect R&C style.

MMORPG, but I expect to be playing Guild Wars 2 soon. Though I wouldn't mind if the last profession was "Pony".

MMO, or at least something online multiplayer. The community is worth it.

Anything. So long it's playable and has ponies.

I would prefer an MMO of some sort, though. ^^

Beany_one said...

MMO/RPG or platformer would be my votes. Fighting and shooter just sounds kind of odd to me given the source material, but I'll take any game at this point, so long as more pony.

Fallout Equestria as a real game.

Applejack Farmville.

Pinkie Pie Diner Dash.

A Mass Effect style game where the decisions you make actually change things.

A Sonic like game with Rainbow Dash.

1)Western RPG (Open World-Oblivion)
2)MMORPG

I think a fighter in the style of the Marvel vs. Capcom games would be amazing.

Pen_Stroke said...

RTS and Shooter doesn't really fit the world, so to do those one would have to be careful.

An RPG of any kind would work and likely be the most popular, especially if it had a good character customization engine.

The fighter I think would be nice to see to, but it should stay 2D unless those working on it can pull off some amazing 3D rendering that approximates the show's style.

Another Genre that would be simple to implement is a point and click adventure. Those aren't very popular, I know. I don't play them much myself, but still food for thought.

MMORPG with character customization of course.

That or a nice platformer that lets you play as any of the mane cast plus minigames with backgrounders and whatnot.

I could really get behind that one, too. The humor is a definite match.

Western RPG

Platformer

has to have me in it though :)

Anonymous said...

• RPG would be good.
• Real physics, cloud busting flight sim.
• Platformer in the style of "lost vikings" where every character has their own unique ability might fit.
• MMO would have to reverse some gaming standards to make it work, but it would be awesome...

Most MMOs involve teaming up to destroy things and take their stuff, but a MLP MMO would have to involve the reverse, teaming up and CREATING things. You couldn't have exclusive guilds where you can only join one, you'd have to have inclusive groups (like facebook or some other social network) that connect together in a web. It would probably have to involve a lot of player built content.

A player built world like a cross between minecraft and the sims would be pretty epic for a MLP MMO, as long as there was some mechanism to contain griefers.

Downloadable Ponies for the fighter game MUGEN maybe?

I'm okay with MMORPG'S, Platformers and the like, but I really want to tweak nightmare moon into being invincible and to launch hadokens from her horn.

PeachyPunch said...

MMORPG or Western RPG. I can't see fighting or shooter really being anything at all, and I can't stand Japanese....well, I can't stand a lot of things Japanese.

purpletrauma said...

Western RPG; huge open world, a main storyline, and a wealth of side-quests to undertake? On a show where that kind of extra side fluff practically can't go wrong? Hecks yeah! I would be psyched to, while on the quest to save Equestria from some great evil, to walk down an alley and wind up doing a fetch quest for some of Carrot Top's food for Derpy Hooves. There's SO many memes and fanon references that could be made that over a hundred side-quests would write themselves.

2D fighter; but I admit that the reason I choose this one is just because I really like that picture. That picture has made me love the idea. If you can get a roster of that size, and actually do more than just copy the move set onto a new pixel set for most of the characters then that would be incredible.

Platformer; come on. The most fundamental genre, especially for indie developed games. This genre goes with almost anything!

Shooter; This one has to be a joke, but... when I saw that choice there, the idea of how one would make an MLP shooter fascinates me, and I want to see it happen.

Anonymous said...

Either a platformer
Or a plot heavy/combat minimal western RPG like Torment

Naxts said...

An MMO.
A Platformer
And an RTS.

Those are the only things that seem Pony-like

Landon said...

Definitely a platformer game, like Mario, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, and the like.

Kujiiro said...

FUCK YEAH FIGHTER

I'll take 2D or 3D, both styles are great :D
If not a fighter then a platformer definitely.

Lovecraft said...

I'd say, a combination of eastern and western RPG would be nice. Something silly that pokes a little fun at itself with gameplay mechanics and a good story.

A good example would be the first two Paper Mario games. I would love an MLP: FIM RPG along the same vein as those.

Anonymous said...

I had thought once of modifying Dwarf Fortress into Pony Ville, with less fighting, and a radically different tech tree...

Something like farming apples, farming wheat, millstoning it into cake flour when combined with baking powder (formed of soda ash and lime water) which you use to make apple muffins... etc, with a number of economic buildings, etc. Even getting together a proper namegen would be an interesting problem.

Kujiiro said...

Actually, just do them all.

I'd love to have a Western RPG with some shooting elements, kind of like Mass Effect.

Actually, I did have a Phantasy Star Online-ish idea that could be cool.

I came to the comments to say "Lost Vikings-style puzzle platformer", but I see I was beaten to it.

It would be fantastic, allowing for lots of fun dialogue and make good use of all the ponies' unique abilities, while still being a slow-paced non-violent game that MLP fans of all ages could enjoy.

That would take the two greatest aspects of the show and put them together.
The two being story-line and the community.

A platformer would be cool but harder to do correctly. A Western RPG or MMORPG could be pretty good. A JRPG would be easier to implement, but maybe not quite as satisfying.

>FPS or other shooter

lolno. Physical combat should be a last resort, or at worst a secondary aspect, but certainly not the primary focus.

I'm liking that Simcity idea. You become the newly elected "mare" (sorry) of a pony town. You're job is to:

1. Keep resources and morale going (food, money, parties, etc.)
2. Protect the town from natural disasters (parasprites, dragons, poison joke outbreaks, Flutterrage)
3. Make sure traffic is flowing well (balloons, horse drawn trains, Pegasus air traffic control)

All in the name of creating a huge city of you're own design full of tiny ponies. Not sure how feasible it would be, though, since there would have to be a lot of number crunching behind the scenes.

For the longest time I've been making the comment that MLP is the western equivalent of Touhou in every meaning of that word. The ONLY thing that it's missing now is a bullet hell shoot 'em up. It would make as little sense, and be as stupid a concept as Touhou's main series games already are.

That fighter looks pretty badass, but I don't like fighters.

2D platformer, but the type is completely up the air. Mario-style (straight-up platforming), Megaman-style (run'n'gun), Metroidvania-style (Heavy exploration, backtracking, and unlockable powers and stuff), Braid-style (mostly puzzle-based), or something else. It's my favourite game genre, we must get it.

Something with influence from Ratchet & Clank or Spyro..

I just had the weirdest idea. Since we've had discussion about the mane cast's "issues" (Flutterrage, Pinkie's breakdown), I thought about a Psychonauts-esque platformer.

You explore the worlds inside each pony's head (Pinkie's would be like Milla Vodello's, for instance) and you help ease the "emotional baggage."

aramaru said...

#1) A single-player RPG, in the style of "Sailor Moon: Another Story", which used a 'bad guy ressurrects all the previous villians / mind-controls the ones who turned good so we can use them again' setup, and was surprisingly entertaining.

#2) A fighting game, but more along the lines of Smash Brothers then Street Fighter (so you could have "items" and spells and stuff), as well as the benefit of being more cartoon-level violence so that'd be a lot more likely to actually happen. Characters like, say, Angel or the CMC wouldn't work too well as main fighters, but as assistants, they sure would.

#3) A platformer is the game type we'd probably get if Hasbro does license FiM out, but it'd have to be done by a good company if it wasn't a fangame.. Nintendo or one of their divisions (HAL anyone? Kirby is both cute and badass!) would be best, but Capcom or a few others could pull it off too.

Sim Ponyville sounds like a good idea, as long as you can see the little ponies going about their daily lives and they have personality traits. Managing the weather, organizing the harvest, changing the seasons, making sure there's a balance between crafting, gathering and entertainment professions.

Anonymous said...

I think an Animal Crossing style RPG or MMORPG game would probably be the most likely choice for an official game. You are the new pony that has just moved to Ponyville (or the option of some other town if a MMO) and you explore and do what ever. There would have to be a good character customization engine so you can make your pony look unique right off the bat. (Accessories are earned as you play the game) The player should be able to make a pony that represents them, being able to designe your own Cutie Mark would also be a good choice.

There should absolutely not be a limitation on choosing a pegasus or unicorn at the start. In the show all the pony classes are treated equally and saying something in the game like "you must earn x number of points before you can upgrade your Earth Pony to a Unicorn" makes Earth Ponies seem like second class citizens. That was what annoyed me with the "Adventures in Ponnyvile" game on the Hub website.

There 3 potential problems I can see with this type of game for older male bronies. One, the game is made sloppily, cheaply or stereotypically by people who don't care about the show or under heavy corporate restraints. Two, because an official game would be targeted directly to young girls there most likely wont be an option to make your pony male. Three, inorder to control online interaction and weed out deviants and predators there will be an age cap.

A Pony Puzzle/ mini game compilation on a hand held system would be the other choice, and possibly the more favorable choice from the eyes of executives. A simple cheep game.

What I would really like to see (though may only come from unofficial sources) would be a very well put together story driven RPG or action/adventure game featuring the Mane cast as they embark on a epic quest to once again bring peace back to Equestria.

I don't know how a RTS would work and a shooter (outside a mini game) does not match the tone and feel of the show and a fighter would probably only be fan made. (I do like the header pic).

Wathever genre animal crossing is

Or maybe harvest moon

Gryrozx said...

A paper mario styled rpg.

Either that or A arcade "Beat 'em up" by Konami Themselves. Just like in the late 80's and early 90's. Seriously, They (the games) remind players of "the simpsons" Arcade game or the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" arcade games. and the games stay true to the source.

The "Beat em up" I had in mind is that up to six players can play at once, zany moves that you can pull off, wacky enemies that you have to face off against, massive bosses and then at the final level of the game, You have to battle the 4 "Apocalypse Ponies" and eventually face off a even deadlier, Blood thirsty "Nightmare Moon." and it can be a quarter muncher to boot.

Jibakurei said...

After seeing a video for Vanguard Princess... I have to say that engine would make an awesome fighting game. Anu Aikan's character select screens made me all... goosebumpy.

I like the idea of a wrpg or platformer but a fighting game seems to be a good combination of easy-to-get-started and complex-enough-to-test-the-maker's-resolve. :P

I'd love to help but I have no talents whatsoever. Unless you live nearby and want a pizza delivered. I'm kind of ok at that.

A God game similar to Sim City or White & Black.
Or a strategy game similar to Civilizations or Total War.

You play as Princess Celestia (or some unnamed Alicorn) as you rule Equestria with a fair hoof or an iron hoof.

Also rival sentient animal civilizations such as buffaloes and griffins will challenge you at every turn be as you expand your territory to achieve TOTAL PONY DOMINATION.

My Dream List:
MMORPG - Any of the already amazing looking fan made MMO's
Western RPG - Fallout: Equestria turned into a game
Japanese RPG - Maybe an Expanded Story of 1st and 2nd episodes with a little more action?
2D or 3D Fighter - I'd have to say a brawl esque game would be very entertaining at the least
RTS - Some Lord of the Rings type Celestia vs Nightmare Moon 2 campaign story anyone?
Shooter - Okay I've got nothing for this one? Maybe Team Fortress Pony? Maybe.
Platformer - The most realistic yet still fairly interesting idea. Give it a good enough story and maybe multiple character story lines and you could count me in.
If any of these games were made, then take my money. All of it. And then split it amongst the lot of you so that all the games could be made.

On a slightly off topic post, that mvc picture looks amazing. I laughed hard when I saw the Chief of the Buffalo and thought M. Bison. (Yes I just looked and know that Bison and Buffalo are not the same)

Platformer, or rpg, western, or eastern. MMO could be good too but I've never been an mmo fan. I'd give a ponies mmo a shot tho :)

I can't believe "point-and-click adventure" isn't on the list. Those are just suggestions, right? Because I'm going with point-and-click adventure.

Like the telltale games or the Lucasarts games right? Count me in!

RTS. Definitely.

Either an MMORPG or some kinda building game or a fighting game.

An RTS with Nightmare Moon v. Celestia, with a third campaign involving a dragon invasion of Equestria.

I always felt a Zelda-style adventure game would suit the show perfectly. Then again, we already have Okami...

I think some sort of a puzzle game would be the easiest to get up and running. I would enjoy that. I think a 2D fighting game has the potential to be something amazing too, and I think it would be on the easier end to get up and going too.

The two types of games that would really get me excited for would be either a music game, with songs from the show, or a MMO. While the MMO I can see being the hardest to get up and running, I would also think this would easily be the one that would get the most people playing. Just the community aspect of it would make it a sure-fire winner.

Japanese RPG
One with multiple endings and a final boss fight against Nightmare Moon or Celestia. It depends on what path you take or what you uncover. Oh, and a new game plus option that allows you to recruit Luna.
I need this to happen!

Please tell me the M.U.G.E.N makers are getting the 2d fighter characters done, I want to see Twilight beat up ryu. And maybe Applejack saying "get over here!" with her lasso.
