Simple as the thread title.

And if you say "A decent MGS" I'm going to hit you.

A Hack and Slash Adventure game based on the World of World of Warcraft. A lot of that stuff is really cool, but only deeply committed players can reach it. Just give the rest of us a chance to fight these things.

A tie-in game to the old horror movies that put you in the shoes of the villain. Here me out. Nightmare on Elm Street. You get to kill these kids. However, much like Hitman, its all about technique. You need to terrify them the most before you kill them. You gain more powers the more you terrify the kids. And throw in a plot about revenge and the need to survie and be remembered.

A game where you terrify and kill children? :P Jack Thompson's face would explode.

Edit: Also I had a sort of similar thought once, a proper in-depth RPG version of Warcraft, given the horde and alliance sides it'd probably have to be two games though.

I wasn't talking an RPG - I mean like God Of War level style combat. I figure that it can be a two part deal - SCE Santa Monica help with that, and Blizzard help with the God Of War themed mythology based RTS.

I'm a little disappointed that Blizzard trashed the Warcraft adventure game they were making. I think they worked the storyline into Warcraft 3, but I want more adventure games, dammit!

I know that's why I said similar and not the same ^^

First of all, why the hell was Kid Chameleon ditched after one game? It was the stuff of legend (any game that lets you be Jason, a rhino, a pink flying dude, a samurai and a tank must be good...there is a law saying that).

Secondly, where is Vectorman? Two games and then nothing but occasional appearances on SEGA collections? I say take your CoD4 and Half Life 2 and stick it where the sun doesn't shine! 1000 shiney pennies to the man who gives me another Vectorman.

Final note, although they are apparantly working on it I'm going to mention it anyway. Duke Nukem: Forever. Enough said.

How about Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 4?
It was a truly Unique game series.

If there's a game that hasn't been made, it'll almost certainly be because they didn't think there'd be any money in it. I'd like to see Shenmue III, or a follow-up to Skies Of Arcadia personally, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope for either at this point... :(

A game like Mirror's Edge. That was a thought i had in my head since... 1999, actually. A First Person run-on-walls, jumping and climbing and stuff.

And why havent they made another Deus Ex lookalike game? A modern fps with character-skills and alternative storylines, and tactical equipment.

And why have they yet to make a 3d PC-fighting game?

Because Fighting games are crippled without a joystick or a D-Pad?

Duke Nukem Forever

Yes, I went there! XD

Hmm, games they should have made... I'm going to go with "300". I know we have Spartan, Viking and God-of-War, but being able to actually play out 300 would ROCK!

They made a 300 game. It blew. We all knew it would.

How about a suicide bomber game

your a suicide bomber and have to infiltrate buildings and blow yourself up or highjack planes to crash etc. Could be done in the style of hitman. You would just have to be a different bomber at the start of every mission.

Will never get made as its too controversal.

You did go there, but you weren't the first.

Others that shouldn't have been forgotten are: Run Like Hell (a sequel would have rocked...and it would have had more Breaking Benjamin), Firewarrior (it wasn't that bad) and Predator: Concrete Jungle.

How about a style Fallout MMORPG... and with proper RPG meaning somewhere between WoW and AoC. add a dab of territory control elements and a myriad of factions. I.e BoS, Enclave, Raiders, Beast lords, Super mutants etc... oh yea and those robot thingies too

Holy Toledo! Someone else actually remembers that awesome, hard as fuck, game. Don't forget Laser blaster dude and Knight dude that could inexplicably climb stuff. In fact said dude was pretty cool when he was simply a dude with sunglasses. I loved that game but couldn't get that far in it until years later and emulation + quick saves helped me through. It's like an 8-10 hour game with no saving!

There is a follow up to Skies of Arcadia... it's coming out on the Wii.
And there is also rumour of the first two Shenmue games being remade for the Wii (and if that happens, and they're successful, there will be a Shenmue 3).

-A Spy Game in which you actually ARE a spy and are gathering information to send to your country to use against your enemies while avoiding detection of Espionage.

-A modern fantasy RPG that's actually NOT made by a Japanese developer. Imagine say, using common Western fantasy cliches (eg every single thing described in a Dungeons and dragons manual minus Beholders) in a place that's like New York City? With elves and orc's racism against humans and scottish/irish/russian dwarves mirroring the racism we see today. (It also will have to include double standards, eg you can say whatever you want about Orcs but DON'T YOU DARE say anything not positive against Elves!)

-A steampunk game with colour...like Bioshock.

-A Dieselpunk game.

-A game with "realistic" graphics that was designed by people who DON'T wear multiple pairs of sunglasses over their eyes when they go outside. (Twilight Princess, Shadow of the Colossus, I am looking at you...)

Agreed, I've had allot of fun with Team Buddies, strangely enough it always seemed as if nobody else had played the damn game.

I'd like to see a good Western MMO, not an RPG, but more in terms of a third person shooter with heavy Elder Scrolls-esque RPG elements. Or heck, a good free offline free roaming Western game. For some reason I've always had these ideas of a game like it, and how it would properly work, but it seems as if the industry is too busy making RPGs either about the dark ages or making them all sci-fi. I'd like to see a different era for a change.

I'd also like to see some more XBLA games that are better played with an analog than a D-pad. I hate how too many developers simply remake or bring back old games that play best with a D-pad on a console that has a D-pad so bad it makes you wonder why the even put it on the controller.

Morrowind brought the whole race thing on the table already.
If you think about it, Vvardenfell was a small island on the east taken over by the power and money hungry Imperials from the west. Part of the country is trying to hold itself together by sticking to their gods and believing that all foreigners will someday burn, while the others have sold themselves out to the highest bidder. Plus the Dunmer had Japanese sounding names and fought with katana.

An actual sequel to Quake. I get that when John Romero left iD Software that they made Quake into a sci-fi furistic type game and left the horror stuff behind, but something that actually connected the origial and the second game would have been nice.

A Guitar Hero 4 that isn't ripping off Rock Band.
Didn't see anyone go there.

Onto serious matters though.
I don't see why they can't make a Skulduggery Pleasant game. The book had a great storyline, AND great action bits, so why not make a game out of it? Although, if it sucked, I would personally kill the game makers.
In conclusion, Skulduggery Pleasant was a great book, and therefore deserves a great game.

A 3rd person hack and slash like LotR Conquest about pirates or samurai.
They don't make enough of those games
