I'd make an FPS(first person shooter) about Rouge super mutants that are trying to end the world and bring about doom and destruction to the universe. Were you and 2 other people are trying to stop it.
If you could make a game, what kind of game would it be, and what would it be about?

One word, Steam-punk. Why are there so few steam-punk games? Airships, clock-work fire-arms, goggles and more brass than you can shake a stick at, what's not to love?
I'd have a game where you play as a smuggler in a fantasy steam-punk world, battling against the military and such.

It would be an RTS game that didn't care about graphics and actually focused on game play. I know, a pretty shocking concept.
An railway fighting game in which a gigantic dinosaur living in a peaceful neighborhood is constantly shunned by all in his neighborhood. He learns to come to term with his differences through violence.
Third Person Shooter/Puzzle Solver/Platformer/Flight Simulator set in a dystopian society 200 million years ago when Dinosaurs and Aliens were at war for the control of Earth.
You can either play as a Dinosaur with the choices of carnivore or herbavore or an Alien with the choices of soldier or scientist, each with high attack or high defense respectively. The dinosaurs obviously get their benefits from nature while the aliens get theirs from technology.
In the end though, both would have to come together to save the planet from some unstoppable evil, maybe Peter Molyneux's giant talking head or something.

Yay for dinosaur ideas!Lord_Of_Plum said:
i have hree main ideas for a game.
1) is a zombie survival game. like openworld only hundred of npcs survivors, each one well developed and with backstory. basically dead rising with "alone in the dark" inventory and a better health system. (kinda like dues ex). then there is also hotswapping (like battelfield for console) and different modes such as: romero mode, danny boyle mode, and of course b-movie mode.
2)a game that is a mix of platforming fps (like mirrosrs edge) but with sniper elements. the sniping should be as realistic as sniper elite but in cities that are big(like tokyo and new york). like "you must get to roof XXXX" then "snipe leader of XXXXX". yall know what im speaking of?
3) a really artsy game (like flower) but with LSD elements and a snazzy soundtrack.
those are just basic ideas and for whoever wishes to steals them....fuck you.

Steampunk sounds excellent, we really do need more games like that.
I'd probably make one based on a book. My favourite books are the Farseer and Tawny Man Trilogies by Robin Hobb but since the characterisation is so deep and there are large portions of the books where nothing exciting (for a game) happens it would be almost impossible.
A game based on the character of Jimmy the Hand from Raymond E. Feist's books could be good. Think Assassin's Creed but mostly at night and a huge emphasis on stealing... like AC and the Thief games combined I guess.
One feasible book-to-game is the Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud. You'd have sections as Nathaniel and sections as Bartimaeus (the latter of which would have an inner monologue going as you played). Also there are many elements in the books such as different layers of perception and Bartimaeus' shape shifting that could possibly be successful gameplay elements.
My preferred game would definitely be stealth based. Really not sure about the setting but it would probably be a dark, fantasy setting. Perhaps a free-roaming type game but with an emphasis on stealth or stealth-action (that sounds like Assassin's Creed but my image of the game is quite different... sort of... perhaps Assassin's Creed done right is my perfect game...). I'm thinking a mix of the Witcher (free-roaming but focused on a single character), Thief (stealth) and good mechanics for picking pockets and other stealthy stuff. No idea how all that would work TBH but I find the idea intriguing.

well.... i am makeing a game.... not done much tho... mostly sit round thinking about it and drawing lots of unrelated stuff.... although i am writeing the story line.... oh and also wouldent it be funny if game makeing people (betsheada(god my spellings bad) blizzard ubisoft(i think i got that wrong....) ect.) roamed about threads like this stealing idears? 
If i made a game then it would certainly be something no one would pay to play haha. It would be mind-bendingly odd and would be a kind of weird hybrid of a puzzle game and I Wanna Be The Guy but in 3D, without quite so many deaths as IWBTG of course.
I just relish the Bizzare which is something you dont see too often in mainstream games... hence why you would not pay for mine
EDIT: I have been informed that Psychonauts may well already be this game... at least partly. In which i case mine would be weirder.

I'd wanna make a MUGEN. Just be able to create FinalGamer in fighting form.
But other than that, I'd love to make a good old point-click adventure.

It would be like Mass Effect but there would be ACTUAL choices, not pretend choices that just end you up in the same exact place.
I would make a first person shooter in a alternate reality where the U.S.S.R. took over the world and u playing a mercenary who gets caught up in the revolution and is ordered too assassinate an important government official but before puling the trigger u find that one of the revolutionaries is actually a double agent who sold u out and u get captured by the enemy and is made out as traitor of the revolutionaries and an enemy of the government so u have to escape to the only place in the world that isn't occupied by the government a small Island that was used for extensive military research and was abandoned and forgot many years before. oh and ur character would look like a cross between Ivon Drago from rocky for and Gordon Freeman if he replaced the hazard suit with some ragamuffin boots and a trench coat.
