Now I don’t mean to make a thread just over the tid bit of potential awesome, but I want to see how creative this forum can be and see if we can come up with some design elements for the game. Maybe even some photoshops from those who are competent to show off what their Inception game would look like.
Idea from someone else “I wouldn’t mind waiting for a quality game based on that world. One thing that must be included is a DREAM EDITOR where people build the dream world, set up your defenses, plant the subconscious safe thingy and post it online for people to break into”. I thought it was neat.
A good setting for the game would be Cobb’s (or just about anyone’s, for that matter) earliest years working as an extractor. In fact, it would probably be even more interesting to see Miles’ early years. Following him as he discovers the powers of the mind gives good excuse for the leveling-up/power-gaining process of the game.
I think the game itself would probably work best as an action rpg similar to Mass Effect. You would play through missions in the real world and in the dream world. In the real world you would do the bulk of the rpg elements; talking to people, learning information, and the occasional gunfight or chase. Those areas would function like a traditional game. In the dream world, however, is when you get interesting abilities and scenarios. You would also have two main meters to keep track of. The first would of course be your health, and the second would be something along the lines of a “hostility meter”. As Cobb explained in the movie, the more changes you make, the more hostile the mind you’re in becomes to you. So you could, for example, erase a building in order to make a shortcut, but you would start to face more enemies.
Also, since you get to invade many different minds, you have to play by the rules of their minds to fit in better and evade notice, so you’d get to play in many different styles, each appropriate for the character. And of course then you get into races against the clock before the kick comes in layered dreams and such, but that’ll take some more thought…
I will agree that done right this would be a great game. It would just be very hard to get right.
It’s been done. Back when Total Recall was made.
That would indeed be a brilliant game.
Though I’d say it would probably follow the line of all movie-gone-game and just roughly follow the plot lines in the movie. Hopefully it does this with some degree of success.
Honestly, I never got what all the fuss was about with this movie. The idea of making it into a game seems pretty simple enough, seeing as how the first half of the movie felt like a bad game tutorial anyway.

Actually, now that I think about it, there already IS an Inception video game. It’s called Psychonauts. Go Play it.
^this. About the only remarkable feature in the movie was the British accent.
I think that in the real world you would have to also find more info about the current target of extraction.
P.S This idea. [color=red]Must. Be. Released… Do you understand?
Why do they have to make a game for Every. Fucking. Movie. ?
Money.
Money.
Burgers.
Lulz
Because even though Psychonauts was a critically acclaimed game, it still sold horribly.
But Psychonauts was fun!
damn right it was.
but anyways, no matter how awesome the concepts we come up with for this would-be-epic game, it’s almost guaranteed to be some lame rip-off of the movie with barely any thought put into it.
