I would want a free form game siimilar to skyrim but not very fantastical just medievel, with some light horror. It would also focus on realism with food/water and shelter being important and one hit kills etc and things like getting the plague or VD.
So basically an extended mod of mount and blade.

I’d love to make another isometric style Fallout game ala Fallout 2 (complete with a large level cap, traits and no item repairing nonsense).

I’d also love to make a sequel to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (with a larger selection of characters and a smoother difficulty curve).

I would like to remake:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II:
Better graphics and DLC for both and actually releasing KOTOR II as intended or better.

What I would also like to do if I had my way is to lock the top brains of Bethesda and Bioware in a room and not let them out until they come out with a game that has the open worlds seen in Fallout 3 and Skyrim combined with the writing seen in Dragon Age, KOTOR and Mass Effect.

In another room I'd lock up Neil Gaiman and the original Team Silent plus a vial of LSD.

I would remake Too Human, I played it and at the time I liked it a lot but it got rather tedious half way threw and the boss battles were nothing special. I would give the story a little more depth and weapons/armor more variety and depth. Change the battle mechanics to Have a 'squad' command ability to better utilize the mindless cannon fodder of allies that scamper about. Assign targets and objectives and such.
Improve the camera but keep the right analog stick melee combat as it was interesting and could keep the battle flowing with proper camera control + target locking.
Would open the world up giving room for relationship building and possibly soldier recruitment for ones squad when they accompany you into battle with the ability to bestow gifts onto his men ( Balder being a Norse god ) giving healing or berserker rage depending on the soldier class of the selected to add to the squad and make them useful beyond being mini death in game cutscenes.
The side missions as few as they were felt totally insignificant and given it's based of norse myth that's just sad, very sad.


Humming I'm the only person I know who has played this game let alone liked it. Well that's all I can think of now.

x-men destiny, had great promise but fell flat. Made more open world and maybe more like city of heroes in a closed off city scape ( maybe more like infamous as well?) would of made it much better. Of course more powers, customizations and making the choices you make in game actually matter and effect the outcome, perks and way you treated/ missions available.

Just the other night, I told my wife, I wanted an open-world, Skyrim-esque game, set in Warhammer. In my mind, people would react the way they do in Fallout, but based on trophies, etc.

For example, if I wanted to make a character who follows "daedra" worship (Chaos gods, Nurgle, Khorne, etc.), I would equip trophies, once acquired, and various towns people would outright attack (priests, Sigmar followers), others would 'psst, I know who you are, hail sithis" sort of thing. Eventually, these various gods could confer blessings onto your character.

This wouldnt be limited to the Chaos guys, I'd include Sigmar (as the main deity), Morr, Ulfrik, etc.

- PS3 version of Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon

- Star Wars: Battlefront 3

- the new Ace Combat to go back to its roots (no QTEs or "dogfight" mode)

- Make the campaign for Killzone 3 as good as the campaign for Killzone 2

- And a 40K Stormtrooper FPS (EXCELLENT IDEA)

I can agree with this, though I think that the story for Killzone 3 was still great. The thing that made KZ2's story so great for many of us, was the dark ominous ending.

Hell, I'd be happy with a re-hash of the Battlefront 1&2 in HD (similar to the MGS rerelease)...but I'd prefer another sequel.

I remember leaked footage of a work-in-progress SW:BF3 where you could have land and space battles at the same time, and fly in-between them...but iirc Pandemic had some sort of complaint with Lucas Arts and pulled out of the project...then Lucas Arts scraped it

I would love some sequels to games that deserved them. A few that jump to mind are Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (though IIRC Silicon Knights is still planning to do a sequel) and Psi-Ops: the Mindgate Conspiracy. That one ended on a freaking cliffhanger, and then Midway went under without ever getting to the sequel.

TBH there's not a whole lot I would remake. I would love to see the original Fallout games done up in the style of Fallout 3, open world and all, but that's about all I can think of.

I would make a third-person shooter/RPG with a story akin to 24. There would be only 24 hours or so for you to try and stop the plans of some evil organization or something like that. What I would really want to do is offer the player many choices with many different possible outcomes. I would want the choices to be really grey, not some binary paragon or renegade crap. Choices would also not just be some lame dialog choices but the outcomes of how you approach the game. Maybe there is a lead you have to try to bring in alive so you can stop a suicide bomber in time or find the location of a stolen nuke and its target. I would also want combat to be more real, make you feel like your in a fire fight with real people and not just mowing down hordes of inept AI enemies.

That already exists. It's called mark of chaos. And its a bit crap.

Anyway, I would get all the ex westwood members, and have them make a C&C game.
I do not like what EA is doing to the franchise at all.

I know about Mark of Chaos,but that didn't have alot in it, I'm talking about about a game where you can pick any of the Warhammer armies and use all the units from the tabletop game.

I thought the same eggzact thing, but in Warhammer 40K. Youd start as a space marine and depending on how you play youd be contacted by one of the chaos gods (or eldar, if it would make sense). As you play youd gain perks for how you play (as well as the normal skills you can upgrade), such as khorne may give you more melee damage, or the cult of mechanicum gives you better repairing abilities, and so on and so forth.

It would definitely fun to make a "harlequin" character, complete with checkered outfit.
