Metro 2013, but instead of being a tale of survival horror set in the subways, it will be about dressing well and selecting the right hair product.

A combo of GTA, Harvest Moon, and KoTOR, with transportation like Wind Waker but cooler. And the plot has pirates. On a steampunk pirate ship.

X-Men Legends 3
You have no idea how much I would buy that shit up, especially if it let me play as Cannonball, or the Brotherhood characters. I remember there was a mode in the first one that let you piss around with some of the boss characters in a danger room sorta thing, and I always put the Blob and Avalanche on the team, no matter what I had to do. x3

My vote is for a new Timesplitters. The demand is obviously there, but the supply, so far, hasn't.

HAN SOLO: THE VIDEO GAME

This idea was on cracked a while ago; imagine: You play as Han Solo, and travel the galaxy (pre-episode IV) with your wookie companion and spend time carrying out deals with various dangerous gangsters for about 15 hours.

It would be the best video game ever made.

A first person shooter set after the cold war where you play as a russian soldier trying to stop an american rogue military unit from reigniting cold war tensions by framing russia?

Hey, i can't be the only one who wants to see a first person shooter where you play as the russians for a change can i?

How come no one has ever made a pure parkour game (THAT DIDN'T SUCK ie Mirror's Edge) with no combat, just pure movement I think that could be interesting.
A stealth based online game would be fun where everyone tries to out stealth each other.

I kind of randomly came across this picture on a google image search, and while I'm not sure exactly what the deal is with it, I do know that it's a realistic drawing of a Zeon soldier from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. The art style reminded me of Star Wars: Battlefront 2, and it got me thinking: why is there no Battlefield clone with a Gundam theme? Think about it, infantry and mobile suits in the same game. The original series had all kinds of vehicles for delivering regular infantry, it had tanks, it had fighters, it had mobile suits, it's basically tailor made for a Battlefield clone. Imagine running toward a control point with 32 other players, some of which are backing you up in mobile suits, and the other side doing the same thing. Anti tank players launching rockets at mobile suits, anti-infantry units fighting other infantry units and taking control points, it would be awesome.

Unfortunately, nothing of the sort has ever been made. There was a mod being planned for Battlefield 1942, but it never even made it to the first public release. And I can't help but ask myself "why?" Because it would truly be awesome.


For discussion value, do you have any game ideas like this, ideas that should be obvious but for some reason aren't being made? Also, what do you think of mine?

Edit: Those of you unfamiliar with the series may notice it looks a lot like a Nazi uniform. That's because the series was based loosely on World War II, and the Zeons were the bad guys.
I once played this online game called Cosmic Break where you pretty much do that..

An actual game about survival where you need to hunt your own food, find clean water, find a secure and safe place to sleep at night etc. Survival elements are also thrown in games as an after thought, but I have never seen a game implement them properly. I would love a game where survival is the focus.

Also Im surprised there is no Pokemon MMO yet. The Pokemon world seems ideal for an MMO. Cause thats probably the only game that would get me to buy a Wii-U

Although I know you obviously are talking about a game with a 3D environment, Neo Scavenger [http://bluebottlegames.com/main/node/8] might be up your alley.

People have been begging for one for years. I would have thought some savvy developer would have stepped to supply the demand by now.
Doesn't the Undead Nightmare expansion for Red Dead Redemption fill that slot?

OT: A game where you rise through the ranks of something. Like the Roman Empire, or as a naval officer in the 16th century... a first person RPG.
I think he means one without a main story and built from the ground up.

Something along the lines of Fort Zombie, but not glitchy.

Dead Linger [http://www.sandswept.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=12] and Dead State [http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/board,11.0.html] would be the two most likely to match desires.

I'm surprised Nintendo didn't make a 3d pokemon game yet. No, not the sub games of being a photographer or mystery dungeon or whatever. A game like the original ones, but in the same 3d most rpg's these days use. I mean, the technology is there. Skyrim and the like prove a game of that scale can be made, with stunning (stylistic/cartoony) graphics. I bet it would be wildly popular as well. Yet it hadn't been made yet.

1: This thread is about games that HAVEN'T been made. Not about games that have been, just not on the platform you like.

2: Mouse...too...sensitive? Wtf? You can change the sensitivity you know. And with a mouse you can get SO much more precision with aiming and the like...

Day Z is an Arma2 mod that is just kicking ass right now. So many people are buying Arma 2 just for this mod. It's using the hyper-realistic military simulator gameplay that Arma 2 has, combined with the massive (and I really mean massive, imagine having all of Skyrim to explore with Zombies) open world environment of Chernarus featured in the Arma series and of course many, many zombies. It is amazing to play.

Just don't trust other players too much, they are just as likely to shoot you in the back as the zombies are to eat your face.
