Games YOU Wish They'd Make

[Zilla Man]

I was reading some of the previews of the Shadowrun FPS and it got me thinking (yeah, I know that's rare, but it actually does happen sometimes).:rolleyes: I was a huge fan of Shadowrun on the Genesis.One of the best RPG's I've ever played - on PC and console. I only played a little of the SNES one but didn't enjoy it as much. But the game intrigued me so much that I borrowed the sourcebook from my friend just to read through it.

When I'd heard that MS had the rights from FASA I kept my fingers crossed. Then when my friend told me that MS were working on a version for their next gen console, I nearly died from excitement. Knowing how MS tries to tie everything into Live, visions of a MMORPG in the world of ShadowrunWhen I found out it was going to be unveiled at E3 I was ready to plop down my money for a 360 and a how ever many years of subscribing to live it took to get my groove on.

Then I actually saw the game. A FPS. WTF? :eek: Now I know it's been getting good previews and all, but talk about a waste of a liscense! What's next a Kingom Hearts fighting game? Ninja Gaiden Kart Racing? How about Dance Dance Mortal Kombat?

My point isn't that MS screwed up the license (they did), but that I still want a regular Shadowrun. I'd buy a 360 just for that title. So I thought I'd ask you guys what games you'd like to see. They could be on any console that you prefer. Gaddy already brought up a great one in another thread: Jet Moto. BTW, they don't have to be remakes of old licesnses/games. Here are a few more:

1) Konami Castlevania Collection

All of the Castlevania games on one disc (stop drooling, G78). How hard can that be to do? Nintendo did something similar over a decade ago with Super Mario All Stars. I haven't played either of the 3d ones but there are enough 2d versions (I believe some were never released over here on consoles) to keep me busy for months. I'd easily pay $50 for this.

2) Konami Contra Collection

All of the Contra games on one disc. I never played Contra 3 or Super Contra but I did dig Contra Hard Corps on the Genesis a lot. The PS1 versions I tried sucked, but they can put the the PS2 versions on there if they like.

3) Next Gen Mutant League Football

Another no brainer. Do it, EA! I never liked Madden but I loved this game. Can you imagine how cool this game would look/play using the Madden engine? Forget about that FIFA[ Street/I] and [I]NFL Street garbage -- I think most gamers would rather see this. Am I right?

4) Next Gen ALIENS Game

SEGA's already working on two of these for 2009, so my prayers have been answered.:D

5) Next Gen Shining Force

SEGA, bring back the turn based combat from the original Genesis titles, not the arcade button mashing crap that they have now.

That's all I've got for now. I'll post more when I think of them. I'm curious to see what you guy come up with.

[Mochan]

1. A modern UFO game that does not suck
2. RPG with a real nonlinear plot (*not just non-linear quests)
3. Super Robot Wars in English

[Rogue Bounty Hunter]

I'd definitely want to see a Mutant League Football (and Hockey). It could be under the EA Big portion, though they would have to tone it down a lot to get an E-10 Rating.

I would like to see:

1) Road Rash for 360, PS3, and even Wii (I'll throw them a bone). There's been rumors about it for a little while, but it can be done justice if the Need for Speed guys developed the game.

2) A game based on the Starcraft Universe. That would be great. It could have a main character named Nova, and she can be either rambo-like or stealthy. Wait a minute.....

3) A games based on the Strike series back in the Genesis days. Pandemic was working on it last-gen, but it turned into Mercenaries (a great decision, IMO). I would still like to see the series back for the current consoles.

4) A game like City of Heroes or the upcoming Marvel Online, but is more of a stand alone game that isn't a MMO. I just want to be able to create any type of super hero/villian and do some missions in a long and interesting story mode by single player or co-op (split-screen and online).

5) If #4 doesn't work, then a game based on a comic book character (make mine Marvel) that isn't tied to a movie. The Punisher was one of the best comic-book games I played in a while, and the only thing it had in common with the movie was that Thomas Jane did the voice of Frank Castle.

6) A real pirate game.

[ilnadmy]

1. No One Lives Forever - SEQUEL NOW PLZKTHX!

2. UFO - even a pure remake with current graphics would destroy half the RTS games floating around nowadays.

3. A remake of this really weird game on the Atari...I don't know what it's called or who made it, but what I recall is you're sitting in like a shopping cart and you were going downhill and you had to jump over rocks and had to duck when birds flew at you and whatnot. Probably very simplistic, but I'd get it anyway 'cause it's cool like that.

4. Red Alert - SEQUEL NOW PLZKTHX! C&C3 is good enough that I'm looking forward to the next iteration of Red Alert.

I want someone to make a GOOD game that is completely sick and depraved. Sorry, Grand Theft Auto with its cute satirical comedy, gangster-movie spoof, cliched American style violence may have shocked someone, but ONLY because it was in a game, not because it was shocking.

I know there is a Cliver Barker game coming up, but I doubt it will really pull it off. Not like some old Barker novels like the Damnation Game. I want a game where you play the forces of darkness, not the "good" guy--one where the concepts of "good and bad" undergo a bit of a reversal. I want a game saturated with an utterly disturbing atmosphere, drug use, satanism, violence, subversive kinky sexual themes, and so on. Wouldn't it be nice to have your character snort some coke before going on a rampage, or take acid to seek visions that helped you solve puzzles? And I want the game to be intelligent, mature despite having an immature Poppy-Z-Bright gothy-ness to it, and filled with great writing.

In a way, there were aspects of Killer 7 that pulled this off, especially that the helper-guy that showed up from time to time was basically The Gimp from Pulp Fiction. What I'm saying is I want an action/thriller/psychological horror game that crosses genre lines, blends in RPG elements, and is populated with characters that would be at home in a Marilyn Manson video.

No one will ever fund this game, I fear. It would be a culture war game, one where a freak sub-culture anti-hero free's America, and thus the world, from the grip of some psychotic evangelical cult-of-personality who has turned the nation back into a place where they essentially burn witches at the stake.
---------------------------------

And last time we had this thread I had an idea for a hybrid racing/FPS game which would be possible with the Wii's controls, and which I'd still like to play.
----------------------------------

Also like to see the NES games Base Wars (a great RPG Robot Baseball game) revived on the Wii. If you guys remember this game, you'll know immediately why it would be a perfect fit for the Wii.

As far as I'm concerned making Shadowrun into a FPS is like using silk to make toilet paper. It feels good, but there's better uses for silk.
If MS made a REAL Shadowrun I'd buy a 360 in a heartbeat.

<B>2. UFO - even a pure remake with current graphics would destroy half the RTS games floating around nowadays.</b>

I still can't understand why nobody can get it right. If they can't come up with something new that works, can't they at least please just redo the original game with modern graphics?!

Also need a sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics with a longer campaign with branches like Tactics Ogre on steroids.

Gaddy, I think I speak for everyone here at VGR when I say (with no sarcasm whatsoever) that you should just quit your day job and go work for a game designing company! :thumbsup: Those are some of the most creative ideas I've ever heard (plus I cracked up at the mention of Poppy Z. Brite).

Or, better yet, one of the Big 3. MS could especially use your input to break out of the shooter/racer albatross they've hung around their own neck.

[Cuddly Knife]

I'd make nothing but 2.5-D games. SHMUPS up the wazzoo!! Shmups with more than five levels.

I would also buy Konami and make the next great Castlevania. It would be the perfect mix between 'vania IV and SotN. Only bigger, faster, deeper, and harder, and it would also be labeled as"the 2-D game of any generation". The background animations would be the most involved ever seen. Multi-screen sized bosses. An insane amount of different weapons.Mad leveling up. Multiple paths, leading to alternate scenarios. And when the game would go to a cut-scene, it would just zoom in on the characters and give gamers an up-close, detailed look at what's really happening in the game. Kind of like Viewtiful Joe, only more cinematic. Full voice-overs. 20+ hours of gameplay, 10 when you really get good at it. Hidden secrets all over the place and rewards for beating things or getting to a certain level. Then, there would even be a two-player game possible. As the main story, it would be split screen co-op, switching to full-screen when a cinema would happen. Then, after beating the game with two players, you would unlock a VS mode, with almost all the enemies as playables, minus the multi-screen bosses. *sigh*, but alas, that will never be.This is what game I would make. It would be the sickest combo of old and new-school. And I could be wrong, but I think that maybe the new vania for the PSP will kind of be like how I would make a re-make.

I would also make a new version of Flying Warriors, but maybe in 3-D.

Damn, CK, that game sounds good.:cool: Thanks for digging up that post.

BTW, what's Flying Warriors. It doesn't ring a bell.

[Cuddly Knife]

FW is an NES game by Culture Brain where your Heroes are regular fighters who enter a tourney to see who's the best, only to find out that they will team up five warriors to take on an ancient enemy. Prt rpg and fighter, but don't mistake this for Shenmue. Each character has a different fighting style from Karate, to Wrestling, to Boxing, and more. There is even a multi-player mode where you can choose any style and fight to the death. Fighting is really simple and based on a neat little block and counter type deal, plus, you can transform into a FW and learn special moves and spells. The single-player platforming kind of kills it though. You have to be so exact to make jumps, but the control is a little off so you die more oft than not. I think this game is on my faves of all time list. I doubt this one will ever show up on the virtual console.

Culture Brain! Okay, CK, I do remember this game. At least I remember reading the ads for it on the back of EGM. Yeah, it seemed really bizarre. But then most Culture Brain games were, from what I remember.

[Mochan]

Culture Brain and Flying Warriors, somehow I never heard of them but the Flying Warriors deal sounds like a good concept.

I'm also still waiting on a sports game that is structured not like a sports game, but like an RPG. Sports games are structured basicall into Exhibition, Season/Playoff and Dyansty modes with Exhibition being representative of a typical one game in that sport, having entrances and halftime and scoring at the end. A Season being a string of those same games, and Dynasty being a sim manager type game over years with the option of playing each game you simulate.

On the other hand I'd like the sport game to have a "campaign mode" which is basically an RPG for your player. Ideally I'd like the game to be a combat sport like boxing or kickboxing or MMA but if they can apply the concept to basketball, soccer, heck even swimming I wouldn't mind.

They take the "core mechanic" of gameplay from the Exhibition mode and make it really good (most sports games are good at this) but structure it in a larger perspective of a well-written story. It could start off with your character still an amateur and learning the sport, and then you get to see an established sporting world with different teams/fighters. There are rankings for everyone and you can see who's who in this world. Then you have to pick your coach/team/whatever or take the professional licensing exam for the sport, I don't know how but it should be written into the story, and the character development begins here in terms of writing out the people ou choose to accompany you into the pro world (your coach, your support team, whatever).

The game will then not revolve only on the official matches but on the ongoing storyline of your character and how he interacts with his coaches/trainers/family/friend and most importantly rivals you will make as soon as you begin your quest into the pro world and reach the top (surely you will make some hot-blooded rivals during the pro exam who want to match you especially if you did really good in the exam).

It's the kind of sport game that wouldn't sell at all to sports afficionados but would sell more to an RPG/Adventure game afficionado.

[Gadfly2317]

Just out of curiosity, what good old franchises ARE confirmed as being resurrected? Are Pilot Wings and Kid Icarus actually confirmed yet? It seems like some other venerable old titles are being dragged out of the closet, but I can't remember now what they are.

Yeah there's a game exactly like that, Mochan. It's ridiculous actually how close your description is to the game.

It's called Def Jam.

HAH! APRELFOOLZYO!

[Mochan]

Oh my goddddd!!!!

But I hated Def Jam's core gameplay! Didn't realize the rest of it played like that, LOL.

I also want a specific kind of RPG, I am too busy at work to detail it all here though.

[ilnadmy]

I am too busy at work

Liar.

God Bless you forever, Dancer! G-Police is one of my favorite games! I never finished it but what I played I loved. The main problem was that the PS1 wasn't nearly powerful enough to run it. That wouldn't be a problem now...

[Dancer O_o]

God Bless you forever, Dancer! G-Police is one of my favorite games! I never finished it but what I played I loved. The main problem was that the PS1 wasn't nearly powerful enough to run it. That wouldn't be a problem now...

Yeah G-Police is still one of my top ten favorites! You could even adjust the draw distance in that game, can you believe it, an old PSX game with options like that. That game also was one of the first that took advantage of dual stick allowing you to pan the camera around in the cockpit while laying down the law, lovely this. I think this game pushed the PSX like no other.
