for me its dragon ball z. i've always wanted a good 3d open world dbz action rpg kind of game, but it's just never been done to its full potential. the closest we've gotten in my opinion is dragon ball z kakarot, which has great DBZ fighting game style fighting, and tries to incorporate it with an open world with rpg-light type features, but the world and rpg elements are just so uninspired and poorly done. they don't really blend well with the fighting segments either, it feels like all of the 'open world' is more of just a 3d overworld with minigames

Probably the redditor answer but anything based in the Avatar The Last Airbender universe. Like a rogue-like to make it not immediately overpower-y to be the Avatar. Think Hades. Like imagine basically Speedrunning as the Avatar and trying to take down some powerful Anti-Avatar god. Make it really feel fulfilling to learn the methods so that you can use powers aside from your starting base tribe and end up a fuckin lava/flying after dozens of hours of playtime. Fuck that'd be cool. It'd give some good reasons for some cool "recurrence" themes too of enemies from different nations coming to power and needing overthrown and how the grunts would look.

I'm ranting but I've wanted something like this for a while, and after playing Hades, the formula just seems perfect

Give me another Elder Scrolls as magical as Morrowind.

You can't do it, Todd. Move on. Found an indie studio to make little games. todd

I'd love to see another Twisted Metal game though I'm not sure if that's what you meant. I think it still has a lot of potential as a genre in general.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A twisted metal game that ties into the show would work within the framework of the open world Mad Max game. I’d prefer a traditional twisted metal game, but I just want a revival that doesn’t flop.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right?! The potential is there, I'm surprised no one has grabbed at it. The show was pretty fun (in my humble opinion, I know it was divisive) and everyone loves their reboots, legacy sequels, and nostalgia baiting right now.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

So much potential. I’ve long held the opinion that creativity is a result of passion, and that the reason the industry is stagnating is that the passionate are no longer the drivers. Name any IP andget a couple fans together they’ll have awesome ideas.

I also liked the show, it was nothing like the games and made good use of the core ideas nonetheless. The theories I’ve read make it seem like an awesome introduction to season 2 adding Calypso.

i just want an xcom style turn based strategy game but with transformers. there technically was one, but it was really short and for kids, and i just want a really difficult one like xcom sometimes can be lol

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Me too now but Beast Wars.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

CRPG set in China Mieville's Bas-Lag.

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Oh that'd be so good.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not what you meant, but imagine The City and The City Disco Elysium style.

A Malazan crpg in the style of the expeditions series would be amazing.

Gimme the Mott Wood campaign or Black Dog Forrest.

As someone who adores the wonky late 90's FPS adaptation, Wheel of Time could have been such a cool RPG, tactics game, or even Crusader Kings style strategy

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

I think I saw a wheel of time mod for CK3, but I didn’t give it a try

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I never got to try it, but the multiplayer seemed really cool in a video I saw about it. It kinda shat all over the lore though.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

A Venture Bros fighter like Smash Bros.

I'd main Molotov Cocktease. I mean look at this grab attack.

But I'd also play The Monarch and Dr Orpheus too. And Shoreleave.

The Red Rising series would make a killer wargame, or 4X, or first person shooter.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mount and blade style would work as well, assuming the first book. A paradox style prequel would also work. A frostpunk style leadership game/ hard space mining game for the reds. It has tons of potential for many types of game even within genres.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Judge Dredd. I don't think there's ever been a truly good game based on it.

I’d like to see a high-budget ARPG set in ASOIAF’s Westeros. I’m not sure what it would be about, but it would be cool if you, the player, start as a bastard from one of the Great Houses and work your way to becoming Hand of the King. Then you’d have enough political power to do all kinds of crazy shit. I’m a big fan of the juxtaposition of this gritty world of pointless, tragic human conflicts and talking tree-doors, time travel, dragons, and a thousand mile long, 500-ft high ice wall.

The first Mistborn era seems like it would be perfect for a prequel game where you take part in the internecine house wars between the nobility. It would be an open world stealth/action super-power game. Great setting, the large sparling inspired city of Luthadel, a fusion of Victorian and gothic aesthetic. With blanketing ash from regular volcanic eruption and the ever-present mists at night. The crushing misery the nobles inflict on the Skaa (serfs) under the ever watchful eye of the immortal Lord Ruler and his inquisitors.

It would have unique gameplay mechanics. Burning iron and steel to push and pull off metal in structures to fly through the sky and over buildings. Pulling and pushing your enemies who are holding metal. Or deflecting/firing metal objects large and small at your enemies. Using pewter to make your character tougher, tin to enhance their senses. Use zinc and brass to sooth or riot enemies. So you can slip by them or you can make them panic and flee. Using copper to hide yourself from seekers and brass to detect other mistborns and mistings.

Likewise enemies would vary, from simple guards wearing metal armour and holding metal weapons (which they will abandon if you start pushing and pulling them for wooden clubs), to the more professional haze-killers with no metals on them and their wicker shields and dueling canes, to mistings who only have one of the 8 powers to use on you (coinshots who fire objects at your, lurchers who pull you, pewter arms who are extra tough, etc) to enemy mistborns who have all the same powers as you, then maybe at the end of the game you might even fight an inquisitor with their enhanced powers and gruesome metal spiked eyes.

Toy Commander on Dreamcast was really really fucking good for its time and something like it with 256 players doing all sorts of crazy shit in a sandbox household flying/driving/swimming vehicles around all over the place would be incredibly fun.

Nobody has made literally anything like it since and I have no idea why because the concept is obviously good and the technology to realise it to its fullest potential didn't exist back then but it was still such a good game.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

National Geographic nature documentary about Lions

[–] MineDayOff@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Hard to decide. But, something simple like Fusion Frenzy could be cool. Online multiplayer would be hilarious and they could come up with so much more minigames.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Star Fox and F Zero. A sequel to Wild Guns would also slap. I'd be hyped for a good sidescrolling non metroid castlevania if they did it well, Battalion Wars had something going as well ad worms 3d thst sorts equally valkyria chronicles and I wouldn't mind thst minus fire emblem and better strategy stuff. I'd like fire emblem to go back in time to 2000 and make a better follow up to Thracia and no go full weeb mode. Ftl should get a sequel under the stsr trek license and also there should be good versions of most stsr trek games.

A Symphogear rhythm character action game would be pretty fun

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The Evil Dead: Army of Darkness, set in the medieval zone Ash gets transported to with the undead skeleton army and the witches and stuff. It could look fairly true to the source material in the current Doom engine IMO. I dunno if I'd want to see it as a boomer shooter since so many use quotes from it already, maybe more like an adventure game or something, but with that plasticky looking 3d graphics.

The Evil Dead PSX game was not great.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

a good evil dead game would be awesome. i liked one of the ps2 games as a kid

We need an updated Mashed with better physics. A game like that would thrive on the switch

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

The text games were fun but i would sell my left ball for a crpg set in glorantha
