What two games do you want to combine most?

[crimsonshrouds]

I was just watchin loading ready live and this question was posed to paul. (Loading ready run are the best on YouTube and I couldn't recommend them more.)
For me I want Legend of Zelda and Dark souls to be combined cause I love dark souls combat and I think it would fit in a Zelda game perfectly.

What games do the escapist want to combine?

 

[MHR]

Borderlands + Eve Online

Might be nice to have a player-run shooter MMO based on player collaboration in various bandit clans.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

A few come to mind:

Devil May Cry & Bayonetta

Devil May Cry & Castlevania (specifically with Alucard as the main lead)

Breath of Fire & Chrono Trigger

Borderlands & Destiny

Persona & Pokemon (don't ask me why, I just think it'd be cool...somehow)

When those fail, more Project X Zone, please.

 

[chrissx2]

Quake and Discworld 1 .... yes I'm weird.

 

[G00N3R7883]

Dragon Age (story, characters, lore) & Xcom (tactical turn based combat).

I reckon the Mass Effect universe could work very well with other genres as well. Maybe combine it with Total War's large scale battles.

 

[Kina]

Ape Escape 1 + Any recent MMO.

I don't want to kill more skeletons and dragons, I want to group up with some people online and catch some god damn monkeys. Boss monkeys, event monkeys, grind on the easy monkeys and change them for cash. Go on monkey raids.

Monkeys.

Monkeys.

No! That's too many monkeys! Gazuga will kill us all!!!

OT: Fallout, Metro 2033, and Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

In Fallout, the Russians were actually allies with the Americans against China. With the advent of the idea in my Wild Wasteland RP that China would be transformed into a Red Glowing One paradise of Chinese Ghouls, we could have post-apocalyptic America and Russia against Red Ghoul China.

 

[Potjeslatinist]

Fallout 1 and Fallout 2.

 

[aozgolo]

How about Dragon Quest meets Minecraft?

Spoiler

Oh wait...

Seriously though, I'd love to see a combination of Mount & Blade with Banished. The first game truly nails down a perfect blend of open world action RPG Sandbox and Real Time Strategy Hybrid, but what it lacks is some really in depth simulation elements to really let you impact the world. The indie town-builder Banished is an excellent simulation that creates a very dynamic supply & demand economy and gives you total control over how to try and balance your workforce to maintain and grow your settlement, or watch it starve, freeze to death, or die of plague.

Plus who wouldn't want to build your own towns in Mount & Blade? I really hope the sequel Bannerlord has a lot more robust simulation aspects.

 

[Saelune]

Skyrim and Morrowind.

Also Mount & Blade: Warband and Crusader Kings II.

 

[Hawki]

-Golden Sun + Civilization (As 'the nature of civilization' is a heavy theme in the series, this would be good - build/rebuild Weyard, factor in alchemy, factor in the Ancients and the lighthouses, etc.)

-Halo + Homeworld (Considering how many ship classes exist in Halo fiction, and how there's a strong groundwork for how ship battles function in the setting, plus the glimpses of it in Reach, I think there'd be great potential for a ship-based game)

-Heroes of the Storm/League of Legends + Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (A singleplayer MOBA mode to explore the setting in the same vein as The Founding of Durotar)

-Killzone + StarCraft: Ghost (Well, we're never going to get Ghost anyway, so either let us play as a shadow marshal or Echo, considering that in the current state of the fiction, the UCN and helghast are in a state of cold war anyway)

-The Legend of Zelda + Final Fantasy (As in, a traditional, turn-based RPG where we get to explore Hyrule as not the Hero of Time, but a band of other adventurers. Or have Link as the warrior, Zelda as the cleric, and, well, use your imagination)

-StarCraft + Mass Effect (StarCraft space RPG in the Mass Effect style)

-Mortal Kombat + some WRPG (As in, the chance to explore all the realms, and actually delve into the fiction. Keep the gore too if you want)

-Star Fox + Wing Commander (Give us customization over our ships, allow us to explore the Great Fox, give us a story that doesn't abandon the 'essence' of the setting, but is beyond "Andross attacks! Again!)

-Warcraft + Dragon Age (Singleplayer RPG that allows us to explore Azeroth)

Edit: Will also nominate:

Command & Conquer (Tiberium setting) + Fallout 3 (Wasteland RPG set in a world that's being consumed by tiberium)

 

[Rip Van Rabbit]

Metal Gear Rising + Katawa Shoujo = Cyborg enhancements/augmentations for the previously disadvantaged! I want Lily to flip a three-story mech without even looking. Or Rin not having to raise a finger to take out a roomful of enemies. Or Emi's ability to find backdoor exits for speedy environmental traversal. >_>

Devil May Cry + Skullgirls = Colorful cast of deadly females in full 3D stylish action.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine + Vanquish = Speedy carnage!

Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005) + Burnout Revenge = Chaotic pursuits!

Dark Souls + Dead Space = Weighty melee combat combined with the dismember-to-kill enemy system could make for some intense combat scenarios.

----

Not exactly on topic entirely, but... "Devil May Cry + Lady" spin-off. She is the gunslinger style.

I don't think it's weird that Hyrule is home to things like King Dodongo, Gohma, Giant Skulltula, Onga-Bonga etc...I think it's weird that Hyrule only has one per game. Soulifying the Zelda series could be really interesting. It took to the Musou/Warriors franchise surprisingly well after all

...

But then, Musou/Warriors is a lot like Sprite or Coke. What I mean by that is, I think you would have more trouble finding a game series that it doesn't mix well with. Mushroom Musou, Pokken Musou, Final Fantasy Musou (Dragon Quest already did it after all), Capcom Musou, Data East Musou, Sega All-Stars Musou...

Now that all of the easy ones are out of the way;

Final Fantasy XII but with Final Fantasy VI's combat system
Final Fantasy XIII but with Final Fantasy VI's combat system
Crackdown but you play as Captain America
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance but you play as DC Comics Characters
Final Fantasy Tactics but with Marvel/DC Comics characters
Burnout 3 but with the drifting and Kudos system from Project Gotham
Injustice but with set/scenery destruction from Otogi: Myth of Demons...also a variant with Marvel characters
Super Smash Bros but in 3D like Power Stone...and focusing on Sega characters

 

[Hawki]

I'll also nominate:

-Army Men + Gears of War (Mechanics of the latter welded onto the setting of the former. As in, keep the good gameplay, but apply it to the Army Men setting, and use the strengths of said setting in regards to design)

-Blackthorne + Duke Nukem (As in an FPS Blackthorne game that highlights the absurdity of fighting space orcs as you play as "mullet 90s guy" (a.k.a. Kyle Vlaros), but also with a slightly darker tone)

-Call of Duty + Final Fantasy XIII/XV (No, really, I'm serious. Play as a grunt in a setting where swords are somehow more effective than guns, enjoy the crazy setpieces, show that guns can triumph over swords, serve Coccoon/Nifelheim/whatever, as you answer the call of duty. Or something.)

-Castlevania/Diablo + Dark Souls (As in, Dark Souls gameplay applied to the former settings)

-Gears of War + XCOM (As in, what Gears of War: Tactics was going to be)

-Perfect Dark + Deus Ex (As in, a Perfect Dark game that taps into the cyberpunk elements, and has an emphasis on stealth)

-Quake + Portal (Replace portals with slipgates, replace GLaDOS with some C'thulu abomination, and voila!)

-Sonic the Hedgehog + Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (As in, you get every comic, game, cartoon, anime, and manga version of Sonic, mesh them together, and have fun)

 

[Saulkar]

STALKER Meets Metro 2033 in a post apocalyptic and completely open world Moscow with no loading times, lots of monster to kill and be killed by, some working offroad vehicles, and plenty of places to explore.

Arma 3 Meets Battletech. Nuff Said.

Battlezone II meets Mass Effect. The second game created so much potential intrigue that it is sad we never got a sequel but a galaxy trotting, base building, vehicle piloting, RPG exploration of the galaxy and its races as either the Scions or ISDF would be phenomenal.

 

[mardocOz]

Skyrim X Recettear, where the Dovahkiin settles down in Whiterun to open an item shop. Use your Thu'um to barter for a better price for the useless crap you pick up whilst on your adventures. Capitalism, ho!

 

[Kyrian007]

The same one I wanted for 2 decades now. X-Wing and Dark Forces. Don't even upgrade the graphics... just give me a game where you can start at a rebel base, jump to an imperial base, make planetfall and steal or blow stuff up, dogfight my way to hyperspace, and fly to some resort planet (or the Errant Venture) for some R&R. A sandbox galaxy... most probably far away.

 

[Aerosteam]

It would be so easy to make a Pokemon/Shin Megami Tensei game.

 

[Bilious Green_v1legacy]

Dragon Age and Divinity Original Sin - DA's story and characters, with Divinity's fantastic turn based combat. RPG heaven, right there.
