I asked OpenAI’s GPT-3 to generate 31 different videogame ideas, one for each day of Blaugust, each dealing in some way with that particular day of the month. Here’s its idea for August 15th: “The 15th Element”.
Number: 15. Title: The 15th Element. Genre: First Person Shooter. Outline: In this video game, you play as a member of an elite team of soldiers who are sent to a remote planet to investigate a strange energy field that is blocking all communication with Earth.
As you explore the planet, you discover that the energy field is actually a barrier that is preventing an alien race from invading our world. You must find a way to destroy the barrier and stop the aliens before they can reach Earth. The alien race lives beneath their drying oceans. Being made largely of white phosphorous — the 15th element — they need to be immersed in water to keep from bursting into flames. A warm water world like Earth, with its vast oceans, would be perfect for them.
The opening scenes of the game show that the barrier around the planet was created by a massive explosion that resonated in unusual ways with the upper atmosphere. But the barrier is eroding, and the aliens are getting closer to being able to reach Earth.
The challenge is too great for any one soldier, so you must team up with other members of your squad to take on the aliens. Each member of your team has their own unique skills and weapons, so you’ll need to use all of your resources to succeed. You can choose your own specialty in the squad, whether it’s medical, tech, or combat. You will be commanded by a military officer, but you will also have to rely on your own resourcefulness to survive.
Sometimes, you’ll need to make tough choices that could mean life or death for your team.
Whether because of your team or the aliens, once the barrier is broken, there is no telling what will happen. It’s up to you to make sure that the human race survives.
The levels in “The 15th Element” are well designed and offer a good variety of challenges. There are plenty of places to explore, and the game does a good job of guiding you through each area without making it feel too linear. There are also a few puzzle elements that help to break up the action.
The graphics in “The 15th Element” are good, but they won’t blow you away. The game does a nice job of creating a believable alien world, and the characters and enemies look decent. However, the graphics don’t compare to some of the other first person shooters on the market.
The sound design in “The 15th Element” is very good. The music creates a tense and suspenseful atmosphere, and the sound effects are well done. The voice acting is also pretty good, although there are a few cheesy moments.
“The 15th Element” is a fun and challenging first person shooter. The squad-based gameplay adds a nice layer of strategy to the game, and the puzzles help to break up the action. The game can be challenging at times, but it’s always fair. Overall, “The 15th Element” is a solid shooter that is worth checking out.
“The 15th Element” is a very different game than either “Doom” or “Call of Duty.” It’s a squad-based shooter with puzzle elements, set in an alien world. If you’re looking for fast-paced action and intense gunplay, you’ll find it in “The 15th Element.” However, if you’re looking for a more strategic and thoughtful experience, “The 15th Element” may be a better choice.
DLC
The 15th Element includes a variety of DLC options that can be purchased to extend the game. The “Nemesis” expansion pack adds a new enemy race to the game, and the “Horde” mode pits you against waves of enemies in a survival-style mode. There is also a season pass available that includes all future DLC for the game.
“The 15th Element” is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
A season pass that includes all future DLC sounds kinda sketch . . . I’d buy it!
Get in early for the best pulls!
