Hey, folks.
I've been playing through MGS4 recently, and I'm anticipating MGSV coming out next month too.
I've always been a fan of those games, and I like modern military-type settings a lot, though I find sometimes the plots and stories aren't very imaginative, which is one thing I love about Metal Gear Solid's world.
That in mind, I'm pretty interested in a game in a similar kind of world - one like our own, but more advanced and unusual technology, such as powered suits, advanced robotics, optical camouflage, genetic engineering, AI's and nanotech all being parts of the world, alongside - and, especially not outclassing - regular and well-known weapons and equipment.
I'd quite like to run a game which is like MGS, but is not MGS, so it wouldn't be based in that world, and would have it's own history and events, so we wouldn't have to be shackled or referring to things in that universe, or worry about those characters being around.
I also would not be using too many current events, and I will absolutely not be using the 'normal' bad guy nations that always get used as villains - Russia, China, Iran, blablabla, as that's just too dull.
Instead, the enemy will likely be an underground organization or mega-Corporation with it's own PMC's and significant assets. Bearing in mind that some large corporations regularly exceed the cashflow of countries annually, and employ more people than the population of some places, I don't see that as being too unreasonable - especially if we're going down the 'taking a twist on normal' angle.
The role of the PC's would be as a UN-Sanctioned multi-national group, specially tasked with investigating and potentially putting a stop to this groups activities, once they find out what they are. You'd have your own equipment, and some special abilities, potentially. Any other questions or ideas, I'm happy to field them - right now, I'd just be happy to see some interest in this.
