A pirate game with good ship to ship combat would be nice. And the return of Space combat simulators like Freespace 2.
So we Got a Decent Cowboy Game. What's on the Horizon Now?

my suggestion: a Multiplayer FPS that is as good as TimeSplitters 
(yeah yeah, i know it sounds impossible)

I'm waiting for Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned. It's alot like Fable but well its Pirates of the Caribbean, you take up the role of a fellow called Captain Sterling eventually you find yourself a ship and build a crew and can go sailing the sea's and have ship battles and look for treasure. It also has an alignment meter where dreaded decisions turns you into a damned pirate and you start to look like a skeleton like the pirates in The Black Pearl and your ship also starts to change and if your evil enough it starts to almost look like The Flying Dutchmen. Not seen what happens if your mr nice guy though, but it looks friggin awesome and i'm really looking forward to it.
How about a sandbox crime game, set in the 1930's?
Complete with an old movie filter and general film noir kind of an atmosphere. Complete with colorful characters and villains.
To make it even more interesting? Add dinosaurs instead of cars, so Dinotopia but set in the 1930's... oh and everyone travels on giant floating airships.

I reckon its high time that we have a decent game based during the British Empire...
Charge of the Light Brigade, maybe?
edit: I only say that cause my great uncle starred in that film XD

1) An atmospheric mystery set in a an outport community. I live in close proximity to many and there are many great ghost stories and such that would make good grounds for such a game. It would really benefit from the same open world that RDR uses, and by setting it on an island and allowing you the use of only a small boat it would allow the game map to be self-contained.
2) A game set in Victorian times. No idea of the gameplay, but I would love to see that time period represented.

There was a great aspect to Pirates of the Caribbean Online (back when I beta tested it) where you could buy a pirate ship and then recruit other players to be a part of your crew. There, you could tell them to get on the cannons, steer, or be the guide and I personally think that was really awesome. I think if we just got a professionally made and expansive game like that it could really work.

We had an awesome pirate game in the first pirates of the Caribbean by Bethesda. It was originally titled Sea Dogs 2 and if it hadn't been rushed to come out on time with the movie it would've been fantastic. As it was, the tacked on land bits were pretty awful and the bugs and glitches made it nigh unplayable. For it's time the graphics were top notch, the ship to ship combat, boarding and resource management were fantastic. You could sack ports and had to worry about chain shot, grape shot and cannonades. If it weren't for the glitches, it would be a classic today.
Dammit, you got there before me!! And I agree that trying to pull of a game based on a television series is always a bad idea. Still, I could imagine an excellent game sandbox style game that allows you to purchase your ship, assemble your crew, take jobs, etc... Hell it could even work as a MMOG. Like EVE Online but fun!!selce said:
Speaking of MMOG, I'd love to see something come out that wasn't afraid to venture in a completely different direction than WOW. You know, where being max level was a huge accomplishment rather than the norm and powerful characters could actually drastically alter the game world, founding kingdoms, building lairs, excavating the earth, waging wars on other player kingdoms, etc... Again, like EVE Online but fun!! And medieval.
YES! How about a game about the life of Miyamoto Musashi? It could be totally open world, and all that other good stuff. Plus he actually was a master swordsman, so mowing down five opponents at once wouldn't seem too unrealistic...Plurralbles said:
'course, I'd be the last person to argue against a Jade Empire II...
Check out Mafia (and look forward to Mafia 2). It's a bit dated, but supposedly quite good in the 30s gangsta atmosphereVrex360 said:
Anyway, how about a good space game? Something open universe, lots of exploration, fluid combat, decent story, etc. Or how about just Freelancer 2?
Yep. That. Agreed.Milky_Fresh said:

We need Santa Monica to make a viking game, because viking games made by the God of War creators can't be more awesome.
There was age of pirates carribean tale, which was enjoyable for a time, the sea combat was excellent, but it was incredibly flawed and buggy. There was sid Meiners pirates as well which was well polished, but a bit to child friendly and the combat wasnt great. The two combined would make an excellent game, wih a few additonsBillion Backs said:
Freelancer was fun for a time, but eventually it just bored the hell out of me. You could go everywhere, but there wasnt a lot to see.thethingthatlurks said:
They should make a game where it's a bunch of kids fighting adults with monsters that they've captured in red and white eggs that'd be purty sweet, but seriously I'd like to see some a starship rpg, that'd be kinda cool if done well.
hmm.. the closest thing that sounds like that, would maybe be the upcoming XCOM remakeVrex360 said:
