theory on FDev"s "new unnamed property"

I hope it's a new park game, as Frontier is really good at making those. Well Planet Coaster is great, and the incoming Planet Zoo looks even better. The dinosaur one not so much.

If it were to be a Top Gun game, it would suck beyond belief.

  • There would be aircraft carriers, but you wouldn't be able to land on them because they were permit locked for future content which is due 37 years from now.
  • If would feature a war between USA and Russia, and you would fly to the air battle, pick a team on the spot and join in. Random dogfights only, no escort, no bombardment, no air-to-ground missions, no assets defense, no patrol. No ground troops or vehicles either.
  • Every time you took off, a Russian Mig-29 would immediately pop behind you and say "you're a hard one to track down, I'm going to boil you up".
  • There would be a pointing minigame to reveal the misson map, but it in the end the mission map wouldn't have anything interesting, no enemy bases or strategic assets, and you couldn't interact with anything anyway so there is no point. Meanwhile a russian Mig pops up "there's the one I'm looking for".
  • There would be 37 different types of missiles, but there are only random dogfights anyway so it all feels the same.
  • There would be 3 variants of the F-18, with dramatically different performance stats even though is the exact same base aircraft.
  • You could land on enemy airbases by engaging silent afterburning, no traffic controller or ground crew would notice you're on an american F-18 while you refuel and restock missiles.
  • You could casually change between fighting for americans or russians several times a day.
  • You could upgrade your F-18 by salvaging extremely rare components like iron from scrapyards. Those upgrades would give small performance boosts, like making your F-18 fly at mach 6, or become able to sustain being hit by 12 missiles.
  • B-52 bombers for some reason are only slightly less agile than your F-18. But there's nothing to bomb anyway, so those B-52s are just randomly dogfighting.
  • There would be a loading screen when you fly down to land at your base.

I'd like a Ghost Busters Management game.
You raise money, buy a building, hire staff, Buy a car. upgrade, expand, then franchise.
Map expands, technology tree expands, threats expand which need to be researched.
Everything then leads to an end when you need to have the technology and the people to defeat the Demi-God boss.

Like this old chestnut...... but modern and filled with game expanding mechanics.

Wipes tears from laughter out of my eyes. Brilliant.
