Ask Lemmy

Spore remaster

Give Mortal Engines another go

I’d fund some dream MMO. Those things are bottomless money pits.

Kill 6 billion demons could be agreat show.

A live-action or animated adaptation of Worm.

Pump as much money as humanly possible into the JWQS / Clear and Muddy Loss of Love animation they're currently making.

Straight up entirely remake Borderlands 3.

A Pokemon game like Colosseum & XD, but only going up to Gen 4, I don't really like the direction the designs went after that.

Fund a proper Pacific Rim sequel.

A high budget Bionicle game would be neat.

And, provided I can pay money for a licence or just buy the original IPs, I'd have my favorite fanfics turned into animated shows as well.

AAA Yoko Taro's game.

World of cultivation, I’d fund a donghua for that book so fast

A proper movie adaptation of the hunger games books. They currently lack so much depth and detail that makes the parallels to the USA clear. Also actual young actors, people don't realize how young the characters are supposed to be.

I'll do a reboot of Travelers

Coolest time-travel concept ever, it's a shame it got cancelled because of capitalism 😓

OP didn't ask about music, but I feel like that fits the spirit of the question, so: my absolute favorite genre is Symphonic Metal, but that genre consists of a grand total of like 12 songs, most of which lean way too heavily on screamo howler monkey shit or opera.

If I could magically fund a symphony and get em to just rock out with a bunch of metalheads, 100% that.

Snowcrash (book) would lend itself to a pretty fun open world game.

I'd love a 3D arcade rail shooter where you're playing as a biblically accurate angel shooting down demons over cities and other landscapes. I'm already over the main obstacle which is knowing how to program, it's just finding the time...

I think I'd just go with a lot of the obvious game choice adaptations - the big issues with anything done now are making something mainstream and having writers/directors not interested in the source material. If there's no money involved and they can just be passion projects then some abject failures can be revisited.

I'd love to see an Assassins Creed series properly adapted. A Prey movie. Cyberpunk 2077 series, Metro - hell even a completely batshit Atomic Heart movie. Just things which are gritty when they're gritty, and a lot of fun when they're supposed to be stupid, but faithful to the source is what's important as that's what the fans want to see.

I’d love a word-for-word film adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And if I can’t get a film, I’ll take a solid MMO made of it by the same people that made Dark Age of Camelot.

Definitely Scavengers Reign season 2. That show is so unique and refreshing.

I'd love to see an R-rated survival horror Metroid movie.

Nintendo will never let it happen but I can dream.

I would really love for the Cradle Series by Wight to be made into a video game. It's like the books were written to be a video game.

In the book, the magic system has definable levels, only certain ways to make mix them, augmentation choices. The whole time I read the books, all I could think was how cool would this be if you made an open world system where you could combine madra systems and various paths to make a million different ways you could play a game.

Someone needs to make it... And if I had the money I would commission it right away.

I would hire a ton of artistic, technical, and creative people, both experienced and inexperienced, and I would fund them and encourage them to create novel things.

Pen and Teller's Desert Bus game. I'd make a Faithfull remake of it down to the amount of time it takes to complete.

the people who made arcane would get all my money and as much time as they need to make more league shows.

Make all the stubborn open world games such as fallout and dark souls have a full featured online + split screen co-op experience.

Deus Ex and cyberpunk.

Let them keep making games and slap as many wild dystopian conspiracy theories into it as possible. Both enhancing and sabotaging the general populous in it and watch the threads unravel and unite. Also would be curious to see how much of it ends up being true at the end of the day.

Game: Prince of Persia Half Life 3 😂 Dune RTS

Call of Duty type game. Remove sliding, tac sprint, bunny hopping, EOMM, and microtransactions to bring back a true casual fps game.

Would love to see an hbo style show for Dresden files or for Brandon sandersons cosmere. They both have some fantastic potential.

I wouldn't mind a cartoony anime style either similar to Vox Machina

Actual metaverse, consistent game physics, flight sim, animal sim, driving sim, etc. go through portals to enter different realms, like urban fantasy, high fantasy, scifi, cultivators, etc. inventory like those in cultivator/litrpg novels, I like the whole isekai genre fusion. Fusionfall prob influenced this take. Play as vr or pc/controller alongisde eachother. Vrchats never gonna be that, everythings avatar based no inventory, resonite meh, metas sucks, I dont see it happening

Fire Emblem Three Houses as an anime with several 'filler' episodes with support conversations or new interactions between characters, really show what living through part 1 is like, 4 separate series for each route idk

Revive Pushing Daisies. That show ended too soon.

Mike Flanagan was at one point signed up with Netflix to do a TV series adaptation of the Something is Killing the Children comics. It fell through. I want to see that series happen, very free reign to Flanagan with just a little bit of reeling in his long monologues.
