The obvious one is a zombie apocalypse sandbox.

People have been begging for one for years. I would have thought some savvy developer would have stepped to supply the demand by now.

Notice that ARMA II: Something or Other hit the top of the Steam top sellers list when that Day-Z mod came into the limelight.
This might be of interest to you. Not exactly a true sandbox (virtually impossible for a video game that isn't a holodeck, lol), but there is no story, no quests and nothing to do but run, hide, find help and do whatever you can to survive for as long as you can.

A copy and paste from the site:

  • Project Zomboid is a Zombie Survival RPG. Here are some of its planned features:

    Retro-isometric style with plenty of zombie insides thrown in for good measure.

    A massive city and the surrounding areas to traverse, explore and loot.

    Open-ended sandbox world - survival is your only goal, and we're sorry to tell you... you WILL die eventually.

    Get infected. How will you spend your final days? Will you have a heroic moment of self-sacrifice, or end up chewing your best friend's throat out?

    Meet other survivors who you can join forces with, trade with, undertake missions for, or fight with for resources.

    Loot, salvage, and build what you need to survive the apocalypse, from food and medical supplies, to weapons, even just booze to help get you through the nights.

    Advanced item crafting allows you to use looted items to build weapons, traps, defenses, and many other things to help you survive.

    Character progression. Learn skills and perks to help your character face the challenges of survival.

    Starvation, illness, loneliness, depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, insanity, trust issues. There's more to zombie survival than shooting zombie heads off.

    Join your friends and survive the apocalypse together in co-op multiplayer.

    The world changes the longer you survive; power plants fail, plunging the city into darkness and making batteries and tinned food prized commodities. The army rolls into the streets to perform 'clean up operations' and other gamechanging events occur the longer you survive.

A Bionicle online RPG (not an MMO). You start of as a Matoran and you have to prove your worth to be a Toa so it's the tutorial sort of level and there are plenty of customize stuff from the body parts to masks powers and weapons.
At some point you will become an Elder but there will be an ability to switch between the three age group. Not only will you make your Toa but there will be other forms for you to customize again and saved (since the toys there were diving and flying gears).
The online aspect would be your owned your own region but anything else outside is cover in fog. When you go online, your region expand to the other players region (yes you're on a moving island) of a different elements (e.g. you're Ground while another is Fire or Water) that way you can co op together using the powers of the elements. The maximum is six like the proper toa team.

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.

I'm surprised Nintendo/Game Freak/HAL Laboratory haven't made a Pokemon game on the console in like the handheld games. It would make a metric fuckton of money.
Weren't Colosseum [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Colosseum] and XD: Gale of Darkness [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_XD:_Gale_of_Darkness] on the Gamecube basically this? Or maybe I'm misreading something, but I remember them being 3D and on console while staying along the lines of the original handheld ones. Although, it has been years since I played them, and I don't remember much, so I might be mistaken.

OT: I second a sequel to Metal Arms and a new Timesplitters. Those games were too awesome to NOT get continued in some way.
Colosseum was just pokemon battles. Like a pokemon turn based version of street fighter. Pokemon XD put a lot of things in there that were definitely not pokemon as we knew it. And from what I've seen the battles in that game were just turn based street fighter, pokemon style as well.

I'm talking about...like, a remake of gold/silver but in full 3d with proper battle animations and a visually stunning world.

A build your own RTS game. I don't mean like Warzone 2100 or Earth 21xx, I mean a straight up, "This is your country, develop it as you want" RTS game where EVERYTHING possible is in the hands of the player.

Either a remake or sequel to Cubivore.

Cubivore in a nutshell is a life simulator of animals disguised as a cute cube game where you eat animals limbs to gain powers represented by different colors. Once you kill a boss you get their mark which is most likely a metaphor for their penis or 'member' which you then have the strength to impregnate female animals of different types. Once this is done you can get a new type of animal to play and are allowed to choose your offspring. After doing this you die and you play as the offspring to repeat the cycle. Off-springs come with one extra limb.

A Puzzle Platformer with the ability to go between physical and shadow form solving light and color puzzles.

Nobody thought of taking shadow puppets to this degree?
A wii game did this actually. Although this mechanic did not appear till half way throuh the game, it did come out. Look through Yahtzee's videos. Also, Silent Hill's Wii Remake did a puzzle with lights.

Umm ,am I detecting some PC Elitism. I'd hate to bate but he hasn't really asked for too much like the other post. Besides most games do feature an option for a gamepad so it's worth looking it up.

OT: I'm with Z of Na'vi for the next metal arms!
While that may seem so, let me tell you: Hell no.

I own both a pc and a ps3, and have owned a variety of other consoles in the past as well. Some games play better on the console. (fighters and racing games for example.) Some games play better on the pc (shooters and rts games for example) And some play equally well on both. (some rpg's and hack'n'slash for example) That being said, I will admit that my favourite platform is the pc, since it has more utility, can be upgraded, and I just...like mouse/keyboard over gamepad most of the time. I just wouldn't say one is fully superior over the other.

A full, true, 3D pokemon game/mmo. Pokemon Colosseum got close, but the type and number of pokemon you'd get are fixed. I would love to see something like Pokemon Red in a 3D style. Even better would be to make a game like that into an open world. I've only seen this done with card games so far, and I've heard of teasers or rumors in the past. I'd just really like to see this done.

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.

I'm sure it's been said already, but: Pokemon MMO. How has Nintendo not made this yet? I know they're several years behind the times at least, but cmon Nintendo! Do it!

Battlefront 3, with massive scale battles..

And I mean massive, with space, cruisers, ground, dogfighting between buildings
The why of that would be technological restriction. It would be expensive to do something like that. You're onto a complete winner as a concept, though.

I want a properly done 64 vs 64 online multiplayer shooter with 64 vs 64 being the damn minimum

Frontlines fuels of war doesn't count because it went so far under the radar it never got any testing there

they did make it, but then they were shut down... /facepalm


but yh, its obvious that Battlefront 3 would be a massive success, every one is asking for it whenever lucasarts hints at something

also while i guess ToR is doing ok (kinda) everyone wanted KotOR III, i mean seriously not making that was a stupid mistake on their part


also Half Life 3.... ok yh its probably being made.... well i say probably i really mean it fucking should be!

Oh, sorry then. I didn't mean to sound like I was calling you out, just to point out your seeming hostility that centered around a pc basis. I guess I was wrong to call out that pc elitism crap and I sincerely apologize.

OH MY GOD! you've read my mind!

another choice would be Prey 2;

or maybe some GTAlike Openworld game with a Science fiction theme +Aliens, with flying cars (Thinking at something better than Scrapland), Companion NPC's (Faction wars and partners), and customizable stuff (cars, guns, characters, houses)
It's not much to ask right?

Didn't mean to sound hostile with my reply there. Was just trying to be clear about my stance on it. :p It's just that I can't possibly imagine someone preferring a gamepad over a mouse and keyboard for a shooter because it's 'too responsive'. I mean, how can you have 'too responsive' for an fps, where responsiveness is one of the most important things?

I've never heard of any good stealth based survival horror games, which I really don't get given survival horror games are marked by their poor combat and running away. Sneaking is the 3rd option I think would really help with the whole gameplay aspect of those kind of games.
