I'm actually wondering what the most popular request for media is here, been through the thread; but it's really tough to see what people want as it's all so mangled.
Perhaps the guy who made the thread could go through it and make a list of what people have suggested so-far.
I would think that perhaps themes (like the guy who asked for a London/England theme pack), but not sure. Was thinking of working on a media pack, with a handful of segments, weapons, characters, level objects, etc.
I mean that is what springs to mind when someone says "media/model pack" to me, rather than what TGC have been releasing. Take TimeSplitters as a good example, you have all of the tiles(segments), models and weapons for each theme available. So you have a general set of level building parts that you can literally retheme depending on what sort of mood you want to create.
Dunno really, I mean Jon is really going to town with his Medievil pack; and it's looking great. That said I don't really see any more modern warfare packs though.. like Swat, Civilians, etc. It's all far to futuristic, apart from the 2 new model packs (that not being funny to the creator of them but putting the same weapons in both to pad them is a bit of a con to those paying the £15 for each one just to have the complete weapon set and making them feel they've bought more than they really have).
Because of the complete non-fluidity (or continuity) between packs, and the fact they only ever seem to focus on giving you alot of a single aspect rather than a couple of all of the aspects to make a perfectly themed game style.. dunno makes everything look patched together for those who can't do this stuff for themselves.
Don't take this as much as a rant about the current state of things as more, well a request for you guys to ask what you'd like to see as more complete solutions.
Remember that reference images REALLY help too to get that feel you're after just right. Although one thing I won't work on is WW2 packs, sorry but although the current ones are fairly crap; I'm sick and tired of WW2 artwork always being done. Why doesn't anyone want something like WW1 stuff ever? you know it was actually a more interesting conflict after all.. or Vietnam.. perhaps Colonial times, etc.
Maybe a cartoon fantasy style (ala World of Warcraft) or such, I dunno just spitting out ideas that you guys can go into more depth about.
I mean just think about the games you actually want to create really. After all that is a big part of what media you will want in the end. No point in thinking up a traditional zombie game that everyone else is doing when you could have a game like say 24.. that would be damn interesting to see some modern games set around the police or stopping terrorism that isn't a multiplayer only thing... Counter-Strike Deleted Scenes for example was an outstanding game, as was Rainbow Six Vegas.
