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.

You mean the mobile games and browser MMO didn't do it for ya? What about the game from Telltale when it was in its trash era?

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.
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.
a good evil dead game would be awesome. i liked one of the ps2 games as a kid
I enjoyed the PS2 era Evil Dead games and I feel they got the vibes right despite being relatively low budget.
I might have to revisit and re-evaluate. Maybe I missed some sequels to the original that I only half remember. I know I replayed it a bit with the bad PC port which definitely further ruined my impression of the past efforts.
Yeah I think the PS1 era one way as a bad RE clone from what ive heard. The PS2 era ones aren't perfect but they do a better job than that. 3rd person behind Ash chopping up the ghouls.
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.
Gimme some good plastic army men toy soldiers 3do games
i want something like this too. i know there’s a mod for Squad like this but idk how active it is
Forgot about those, yes.
Plastic green army me tag urself!
I'm the gesturing with one arm, radio in the other guy
National Geographic nature documentary about Lions
CRPG set in China Mieville's Bas-Lag.
Oh that'd be so good.
Not what you meant, but imagine The City and The City Disco Elysium style.

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
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.
A Malazan crpg in the style of the expeditions series would be amazing.
Gimme the Mott Wood campaign or Black Dog Forrest.
oh god yes 
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.
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.
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.
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.
We need an updated Mashed with better physics. A game like that would thrive on the switch
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.
The Red Rising series would make a killer wargame, or 4X, or first person shooter.
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.
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.
A Symphogear rhythm character action game would be pretty fun
The text games were fun but i would sell my left ball for a crpg set in glorantha
