User blog:ZeVikingSif/The Dream Ben 10 Video Game w/ Sif & Alan

(THIS BLOG IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS. GAMEPLAY AND MECHANICS NEED TO BE FINISHED, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER STUFF.)

Hello everyone, i'm back with a new blog! Yay! Oh wait, nobody cares for my blogs until i link them. Sad for me, but it's still fun to make them anyway.

As the title suggests, i'm gonna try and create the best Ben 10 game imaginable. And here to help me is none other than Alanomaly, the one person who cares for my blogs and vice versa. I know some of you like Vilgax Attacks, Cosmic Destruction, even the Omniverse games, but even the people who like them are a little disappointed. It's very limiting, it doesn't capture Ben 10 at all, even the storylines aren't that good. I mean some of you like them but even so they're not that amazing. Me and Alanomaly are gonna try and capture what a Ben 10 game is supposed to be, and let's hope we succeed. Developed by Beenox and Treyarch, published by Activision, here is the true Ben 10 game! Sponsored by NUKEMS WINS.

The Story
I will split this up into several pieces, since there needs to be a lot of side missions to compensate this amazingly large game.

MAIN STORY - In my humble opinion, i do in fact believe that most of the Ben 10 villains introduced do not stand a chance with present Ben, if not all the villains. So what do you do when one villain is not enough? Negative 10. The roster would be the same as my blog, at least mostly. We're not starting off with them, oh no, we're gonna build up to them. This game is gonna be as long as it can be, and i'm dividing this up into 10 Chapters. Chapters 1-3 is gonna be the build up to the Negative 10, slowly introducing the members. Starting off with Psychobos, making our way up to the rest.

There should be a story element with Young Ben that connects with the present storyline, like play as Young Ben and go do his missions, then you get to go to the present and do your thing.

SEVERAL SIDE STORIES - There should be at least 50 Side Stories, if not 25-30. Side missions should be everywhere, comparing itself to the Batman Arkham games. You can have a side mission called Animo's Revenge, and it slowly unravels. Maybe a series of side missions with Gorvan and Psyphon working together (or against), maybe some mini-events with the gangs fighting each other, and you need to stop it. Or even one with the Forever Knights, like Chadwick returns. You can do several side missions and mini-events, even random events like the Arkham games.

The Aliens
I'll save Gameplay for last, but i feel this deserves its own section. I don't think EVERY single alien deserves to be in the game, let's cut the developers some slack. We only need the most IMPORTANT aliens, the ones we wanna play as. I honestly think we should start off with 10 aliens, making our way up, so i'm gonna list the first 10... for both Young Ben and Present Ben.

YOUNG BEN - After these first 10, he'll unlock a few more. Don't worry. There will be over 5 more originals unlocked, and i will specify on how they're unlocked. There we have it, the Young Ben aliens. But what about Present Ben? The first 10 is coming... now! Like Present Ben, we will continue with the additionals in the same way. A lot of aliens, i know, i know. I wanted to make the side missions feel useful and stuff, adding more to the overall game experience. And before you mock me and say "BUT YOU SAID USEFUL ALIENS ONLY, WE DONT NEED GOOP AND CRASHOOPER N' DESE 'LECTRIC ALIENS" well, don't mock me. I think these aliens fit for the overall game.

Switching Between Aliens
A major gameplay killer of Vilgax Attacks was having to be one alien one second then another the next, and you have to go BACK to Ben then to the alien. How about instead you can go from Echo Echo shattering a crystal STRAIGHT INTO Rath breaking down a wall? I think people would like this much better, and we all know from my rant in the Vilgax Attacks blog that I would be much happier with this.

Alien Rosters
Who even liked the idea of four aliens in one roster at a time that was a mechanic in CD, OV1, and OV2? Why was this even a thing in the first place, and why did it continue? How about instead you hold down a button (i.e. bumper on Xbox controller) and the ring pops up in the corner and you cycle through the aliens and then transform from one to another? Yet again something else that would be a better mechanic and no more of this "Alien Selection Menu."

Open World
In the present day, everywhere is accessible. Bellwood, Undertown, Los Soledad, etc, day and night cycle. However, in the past, some areas are not accessible, such as areas that were not focused on during OS and flashback OV, so Bellwood is accessible but Undertown and Los Soledad are not in the past.

Custom Playlists
You can have your own custom playlist of 10 aliens if you want to, even though you have access to all aliens any other time.

Settings
The settings include many things:
 * Skins
 * Weather
 * Name Shouting
 * B/W Coloration
 * Infared Coloration
 * Vulpimancer "Vision" Coloration
 * Voices
 * Trix Skin
 * Controls

Misc
EXPANSION PACKS - Yes, this is happening. We are getting DLC, and not just any normal DLC, we're getting THE DLC, several of them. And guess what? They are absolutely FREE! Kind of. Packs are free, story DLC's aren't, but still something free! We're not Call of Duty, we're... nobodies actually. But we give you free Packs! There will be a TON of DLCs and Packs for you, that will complete your gaming experience and to include every single alien. All you need is Xbox Live/PSN to get these. The list will be very similar to the additional aliens list i made, so here it is:
 * 1) Future Aliens Pack - Ohhh yes! You get: Buzzshock, Spitter, Atomix, and Toepick! And for free, remember that.
 * 2) Andromedas Pack - I really wanted to include the Andromedas, but the alien list would be way too packed, so we turned it into pack. Water Hazard, NRG, Armodrillo, Terraspin, and AmpFibian!
 * 3) Trouble in Anur Transyl DLC - This is a story DLC, it acts like a side mission, but it's way longer than an average side mission. It takes place on Anur Transyl, and its kinda a sequel to Galactic Monsters, with Lord Transyl breaking free and wanting revenge (Zs'Skayr possesses him too!). Whampire is unlocked too. Only 4.99!
 * 4) Revenge of the Swarm DLC - Another story DLC, it acts as a sequel to the Elena arc from UA. She returns, but requires help when a virus infects the nanochips and start attacking everything. You unlock Nanomech as well, and it's only 4.99!
 * 5) Technological Aliens Pack - You might be a little upset that Jury Rigg, Upgrade, and Grey Matter were all left out from the official list. Not to worry, because you can get 'em free here! Jury Rigg, Upgrade, and Grey Matter!
 * 6) Outbreak Aliens Pack - This one deserves it despite me despising these aliens, here it is: Walkatrout, Mole-stache, Pesky Dust, and The Worst!  Lucky for you, it's free. Although to be honest, who would pay for 'em am I right?
 * 7) Ultimates Pack - You can get this if you buy the Ultimate Edition of the game without downloading the pack itself. Play as Albedo and the Ultimates in the free world, play certain missions as Albedo, and you get the ultimates to boot! Ultimate Humungousaur, Ultimate Big Chill, Ultimate Spidermonkey, Ultimate Swampfire, Ultimate Rath, and Ultimate Echo Echo are all playable. And it's free too.
 * 8) Fusions Pack - Yeah. Go nuts. Play as Ben 10k (You get to play as the future aliens too if you get that pack) and his fusions. Big Chuck, Fourmungousaur, Crashocker, Humungoopsaur, Uprigg, Stink Arms, Heat Jaws, and Diamond Matter are all playable, and like Albedo, you can access certain missions as Ben 10k.
 * 9) Powerful Aliens Pack - Way Big, Atomix, and Alien X. 'Nuff said. Well actually, more to be said. If you buy the Fusions Pack, you also get Atomic X. Mini-games will be added for Way Big and Alien X, such as To'kustar battles or Celestialsapien battles. Atomic X and Atomix are excluded from that, since they aren't that difficult to put in the original game. Don't argue about Atomic X, he will be nerfed.
 * 10) Predators Pack - Play as Zed and her predators, 'nuff said. Crabdozer, Vicetopus, Hypnotick, Terroranchula, Buglizard, Mucilator, Tyrannopede, and Omnivoracious.
 * 11) End of Time DLC - Eon and Maltruant team up to unleash a horde of Time Beasts across the multiverse to wipe out Ben Tennyson. Play as Eon (yes) and Clockwork.
 * 12) Pack 23 - This pack allows you to play as Ben 23 and his versions of the aliens. This includes the aliens Ben 23 has only mentioned like Copy Copy and Charcoal Man.
 * 13) Alternate Bens Pack - This pack allows you to unlock the skins of the other Alternate Bens that haven't been included in other packs, allowing for their aliens to also be changed. This includes aliens that have yet to be shown by these Bens.
