its a linear, altenate history fps game that's centered around a land invasion of Japan
Synopsis
>trinity tests dont happen until much later, and following the end of okinawa, japan is given the rest of the year to lick their wounds and prepare for an invasion
>operation cherry blossom is enacted against america, wiping out a very large chunk of the west coast (this will be a first playable mission)
>land invasion happens, with voluntary recruitment skyrocketing
>main goal is to capture tojo and force him to surrender
>for most of the game, you play as a US marine but there are a few levels where you play as a Soviet operator. these missions start in manchuria and end in northern japan. These missions are also less narrative-based and you're either operating a tank or plane
>towards the end, the trinity tests are successful and the nuclear option is becoming a reality
>US soldiers told to retreat. This is so they dont get melted by the blast and gives tojo enough time to flee tokyo as, at this point, the allies have the capitol completely surrounded
>as the player, you're given two options: leave or disobey and try to capture tojo.
>the reason why this is an option, is because your allies think they're retreating because the US is losing and they cant handle the idea of a retreat, as they've losing friends in the pacific or back home in the attacks
>'leave' option results in the final few missions covering a retreat and the ending plays out similar to how it did in our timeline
>disobeying means you capture tojo and just barely survive until you reach a hangar
>at this point, the 10,000+ unit has been thinned out to about 100
>0 contact to the US military as you're deemed MIA/KIA, so you cant update them
>about to escape
>nuke goes off
>plane you're in crashes
>stumble around the atomic wreck, viewing the horrors before succumbing to said horror
>Because tojo dies, the japanese are furious, and despite being nuked repeatedly, they decide to keep fighting
>roughly 3 years later
>truman, completely disillusioned, is said to have killed himself, to which his fictional vice president takes over
>the ending is a cutscene of the fictional president talking to the vice president, while war footage plays in the back, detailing how most of the japanese have been killed off
>its insinuated the japanese tried to surrender, but the americans butchered them; self-defence and revenge turned into an ethnic cleansing
>final image is a japanese flag that has had the sun cut out, which the japanese tried to use as a form of surrender as they couldn't manufacture white flags
>the sun being removed resembles the fall of sunrise land; japan
yeah, that's about it. Also, the cutscenes between missions + the ending would be similar to WAW, but instead of using historical footage, i'd create my own and make it look authentic.

>>130413Yeah that's where i got the idea from. I think dying in the sky or in the crash would be a bit boring. Also, it would be a missed opportunity not to, as paintings and accounts of what happened after the blast were brutal

Thought more about it
Right, when the nuke goes off while you're in the plane, im thinking that the first-person cutscene should be similar to thr nuke scene from the movie 'threads'
As for exploring the nuclear aftermath, it should take place from the perspective of another american band of soldiers, coming back from the raid on the imperial palace to capture the emperor. Surviving a Nuke, while in a plane, is too far-fetched
>weapon selection
american, japanese, german, Russian and Chinese weaponary
In one mission, you operate a b17.
if you type in a code within that mission's cutscene, it unlocks a heavy meatal easteregg
>german weapons
During japan's licking of wounds, they built a large, concrete perimeter around inner-tokyo and the americans need to break through. to do this (atleast on the side the player is fighting on), the americans use repurposed V2 rockets on the wall. As Germany has surrendered and harbor impressive tech and ingenuity, the americans refurbish the german's arms to fight on the japanese front. Because of this, americans can be seen using mp44s and such
The reason why japan goes ahead with operate cherry blossom, is to divert the navy's attention away from japan, so japanese forces in asia can come back to defend.
In real life, America proposed the idea of completely surrounding japan, in order to starve them, which would weaken japan for an invasion

>>132048>it should take place from the perspective of another american band of soldiers, coming back from the raid on the imperial palace to capture the emperor.Would they be men in the process of following the retreat order, men who disobeyed but survived because they weren't on the plane, or reinforcements sent afterward to make sure the emperor didn't hide in a bunker or something at the palace?
Maybe you could also have a few missions as a member of a Japanese militia akin to the Volunteer Fighting Corps, with the last one having you survive on the outskirts of the blast radius and hear the announcement of the emperor's surrender or death over a radio, at which point you either surrender or die in a last stand, respectively.

>>132055The perspective will be from the soldiers who disobeyed and kept fighting.
When america retreats, they're a few miles away from the castle which is partly the reason why some soldiers chose to stay, because the goal was almost at their reach.
That being said, it take these soldiers 3 days to reach the castle and capture the emperor
>japanese perspective I was thinking that the second mission would involve you playing as either a pilot or submariner that stages the attack on the the west coast.
the first mission would take place on one of the aircraft carriers that has surrounded japan and you have to fend off waves of kamikaze pilots and shelling. The reason why Japan decides to stirke the blockade, is to possibly distract America from any Japanese plague submarines departing from around the pacific. Much like unit 731, there are dozens of similar projects set up and hidden in the south pacific.
That lead me to another idea: i really liked the first mission to BFBC2, so the Synopsis would centre around a crew of marines on an espionage missions, ready to take down a small ammo cache that poses a threat to mc'arthur's advance, but they stumble across a biochemical wepaon plant. The small island essentially gets gassed by the japanese, to stop the americans from escaping, and the americans die before they can get the intel out.

>>132071Forgot to mention
when your group takes the emperor, the rest of the remaining soliders help cover your retreat any way they can.
the last group you play as decided to head for the mountains, once they got word that the emperor has reached the airfield and that there were enough US troops already enroute to defend against the japanese.
they dont get far before the nuke goes off, but they're far enough to not get vaporised

>>132071To distinguish the spec ops stuff from Bad Company 2, maybe you could play as a Soviet frogman, with the bioweapons base possibly being near Hokkaido. That could give you a chance to use some interesting equipment from a relatively obscure part of the Soviet military and would fit with the idea of playing as an operator during the Soviet missions, although it’s kind of similar to the flashback mission in Black Ops where the red army tries to steal nerve gas from a U-boat stuck in the arctic

>>132183The spec ops mission is a one-off, so distinguishing that from the rest of the campaign won't be a problem and I'd definitely make the loadout unique, both in the caliber of weapons&gadgets and the fact you dont see them again.
furthermore, the mission taking place on an island & the stealth element would be a break from the intense, urban warfare the player has endured for the last few hours

If Japan had actually pulled this off it probably would've convinced the USA that attacking the Japanese mainland through an active invasion wasn't worth it.
