I'm trying create a videogame with a friend, but we don't agree wich idea is better.
1) He wants create a game mixing "The forest" and "the walking dead" (and decisions like LiS), with a gameplay similar to Resident Evil 5 and/or Kingdom Hearts. You have some companions, but they can die if you didn't choose the correct answer or lost their lives in a battle. Only 1 level of difficulty and he want to split it into 3 "seasons" (chapters). Basically action + survive with a lot of decisions.
2) My idea was create a horror game like the 3 first Silent Hills, set in Japan (90's) where the monsters are legendary japanese creatures. You have to survive and complete the story, you can choose 3-4 different levels of difficulty and secret characters with their own plots, once you beat up the main story. You don't have any sidekicks, and some actions determinate how the game ends (not the last decision of the game, like LiS, more like 1 and 2 Silent Hills).
Which game would be better?
