Pedestrian Idea: Celebrities

Killjoy · Post by **Killjoy** » Thu Jun 09, 2011 5:07 am

I'd like to see the game include celebrity pedestrians. However, if it's too overt it will get old and not funny. Perhaps something like every time you start a map, there's a 5-10% chance there's 1 or 2 celebrities on the map so that it's a feature used sparingly. They'd be worth more +time/+points and maybe even give you a special power up for killing them.

Killing The Situation could give your car's body a little extra armor or turn your car's metal material and paint to bronze for duration of the map.

Killing Tom Cruise could give you a shitload of money but take away some time.

Killing Jesus could let you drive on water

and so on.

It could even be incorporated into achievements where you have to kill at least 25 celebrities and then you get to access a bonus Hollywood Walk of Fame map.

There was a tomb raider zombie in Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now.

I remember finding her twice, in Max's Junkyard I believe.

Also I heard there was also Indiana Jones in there too, I'm not sure which track as I never found him.

So don't just stick to real celebs.

Yeah real celebrities would probably suck, but famous characters is something.

fuck them.

no ped-powerups, no today's celebs (rather social groups or historical ones, for ex. in a medevial castle map group of Camelot Knights rushing together at a nearby car shouting "for the Queen!", or hindu Krishna (was that in Carma 1? if i recall correctly...) or lifeguards on the beach, or men under a tie in the skyscrapers shouting "where's my money!?!", hookers, pimps, russian imigrants trying to sell a rolex, mexican mariachis, etc.

peds should have some behave differences so knights will rush at you no matter what and mariachis will play their guitars but try to avoid you (and they should be quite good at it so they could annoy you with their music longer).

KEEP IT CARMA-LIKE!

Better! A pope racer on popemobile would rock, and that would also be controversy of epic dimensions!

I can see running Christopher Walken over, which makes your opponents hear nothing but cowbell.

two words

Charlie. Sheen.

I'd pay money to run him down for real.

Though I am inclined to agree with above, real celebs would get very old very fast....

Or he could trigger an powerup like Leadfoot, but instead call it Tom Cruise-Control :)

The problem with celebrity is that it's fleeting. The OJ Simpson/OK Stimpson reference in C1 has dated (I wouldn't be suprised that some of the peeps posting here had never heard of him).

Keep the game to generic groups rather than specific individuals and then let the modding community release the specific celebrities they want to see. There were peds aplenty released for C2 covering all aspects of pop culture, it will likely be the same for the new game too.

what if, when a pope converts peds near you (age of empires wololo style), they turn into brain munching zombies and attack your car from underneath so that the halfzombies (just upper/lower body) can easily access your lower carparts like braking fluid, gearbox, brakes, etc. who's with me?!

another idea:

how about riding horsemen, like in a western theme map or even better mail wagons and indians with tomahawks chasing you if you disturb their holy land.
