New Game Mode Idea

I'm certain this is asking too much this late in development, but I wanted to suggest it as an idea for future installments of PvZ or maybe distant content for BFN.

I've always loved turf takeover. For the longest time in GW1 & 2 it was the only thing I would play. To me, the best thing about turf takeover was always the ending. Dave's Mansion zombie invasion, the golf ball on the golf course, the giant robot at the zombie factory are all great examples that spring to mind. These endings were all so creative. Entirely different from anything else in the game, even when they did borrow random elements from other game modes. They always felt unique, special, and exciting. 

My idea for a game mode is essentially cutting to the chase. Turf takeover, except it's only final piece of turf. Everything plays out the same except it's just cherry on top without the sundae. It would be like when other games do a boss only mode. No pesky dungeon to crawl through. Just the frantic delight of the boss battle.

The best part is, it would allow the developers to include some of the best examples of turf takeover from GW 1 & 2 without having to recreate the entire map. Pleasing some fan nostalgia without having to invest nearly as much development time. 

Anyway, tell me what you all think.

  • @newbebop Haha! No idea why it happens like that, because it should be 50-50. Quite funny really! Maybe it's because me & my friends collapse in a state of hysterical panic when we're caught on the zombie side!!
  • @newbebop With the whole series being called plants vs. zombies, it’ll be difficult but also hilarious for plants and zombies to unite. Imagine a chopper having to resist the urge to eat a zombie XD. Or a zombie trying to understand that you must work with plants and not kill them. It’ll probably work against the almighty gnome, but if plants and zombies were transported to gnome’s home, and put together without their consent. Maybe to be transported back, they have to defeat the gnome boss. That’ll be fun. But a game series like this would probably never adopt a 1v4 gameplay, especially since it’ll be difficult to do. But 1 AI boss versus 4 players of plants and zombies could work. It depends if they want to break the rule of plants working with zombies but in another dimension so it “doesn’t actually happen”
  • @arit0824 It would be easier to do a 4vAI. It would basically be like the final round of Ops with only one enemy boss.
  • But Personally I think the final location turf takeover idea is more feasible.
