Really really really violent video games
polycounter lvl 18
You know like Rambo IV, the poor guy in the jeep brutally blown to small bits by that 50 cal LMG?
Personally I would love to play games where you can just go wild, if you are going to kill bad guys you may as well do it in style, and would like to take the Idea a little further, just hypothetically.
But how would you get so much violence allowed the censors (or even the publishers for that matter)? Would you need to do something to take the edge off (green blood etc)? And if you did or could would it be a responcible action to make one with extreem gore?
How would you technically make the gore? Swap meshes in and out for the damage? Alphas over normal maps are heavy, and making the resources for many possible damage locations would take a lot of work.
How about ripping that esophagus out and the whole trachia goes with it? It might not be too hard to do, what about slitting the stomach open and having intestines drag after the character? It sounds like a soft body dynamics nightmare, are there any equally grotesque types of damage you could do to a character that aren't so hard performance and work wise?

Alien Shooter
If youre more into 'realism' i'd suggest Postal 2, piss in gary colemans face hehe
IMO.
I think FEAR did the gore well, as most of the time when you killed someone, they went "Oww" and fell over.

Yeah, Cold Winter for the PS2 handled it very much like that. It was a rather violent game, but instead of the soldier of fortune/turok 'HEY, YOU! YEAH, SEE ME? I'M DYING. I DON'T HAVE ANY *ARMS*' method they kept everything very low key. Dismemberment and everything was never really a focus, and managed to contribute to the game's style in a constructive way.
Of course the blood is very stylized but that makes it even more fun killing enemies with the chainsaw.
not to often they would gib, but when they did it was suprising
you know, make it pretty real, but not easy to get
Anyone remember the Bloody Mess perk in fallout 1 & 2? It basically made all the deaths way more gruesome. Pistol kill = exploded torso.

As far as ridiculously over the top gore goes, few games have done it quite as stylishly as Rise of the Triad. Hit someone with a heavy weapon and you get an eyeball sliding down the camera, gibs oozing down the walls and if you're quick with the pause button, you might even see a severed hand flipping you off as it whizzes by.
Blood Rayne, you could shoot people's faces off, slice them apart every which way. Cut off their hands and watch them run around screaming and looking at their newly acquired stumps. I didn't play the second one so I don't know if they carried over the amount of gore to it.
I recall the Suffering to be a pretty gruesome game as well.
Fear did have some nice stuff. Shoot a fire extinguisher next to a guy, and once the white cloud settles you see a limb or two laying about.
Another one is an oldy but goldy, Crusader: No Remorse. There was this sweet gun that when you shot someone with it, it pretty much evaporated all the skin off your enemy.
Rune is also another good one, there is a certain satisfaction you get when you kill someone with their own severed arm.
As far as gore goes, i like it the most in over-the-top stuff like Troma, and i wouldn't mind seeing it in a modern game. On the other hand, i don't have much of a desire to see realistic war games get more realistic.
I was hoping the new Zelda would allow you to chop things up. No such luck. Not asking for real gore but something like what Matt Groening does in the simpsons or futurama
That's nothing. Here's something.

On another note, it's interesting that all of the female characters' Cinekills involve bondage.

The microwave gun
That should be brought back in a new game.
Shadow of Rome was fun in this aspect... never know when that scimitar was gonna cut something off!

What was great about that one was that the really gorey attacks had names! JUICY TOMATO!
