Ask Lemmy

AAA Yoko Taro's game.

I want a The Magicians video game, or movie, or another show set in the same universe.

Shows that need more seasons... The Expanse, Outer Range, Avenue 5.

Mixed media adaptations of all things Cosmere related and Brandon Sanderson would have full creative control.

I’d fund some dream MMO. Those things are bottomless money pits.

Spore remaster

Give Mortal Engines another go

Ski free 2.

This time, on water.

There's a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I'd like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.

Yes

I think I'd just go with a lot of the obvious game choice adaptations - the big issues with anything done now are making something mainstream and having writers/directors not interested in the source material. If there's no money involved and they can just be passion projects then some abject failures can be revisited.

I'd love to see an Assassins Creed series properly adapted. A Prey movie. Cyberpunk 2077 series, Metro - hell even a completely batshit Atomic Heart movie. Just things which are gritty when they're gritty, and a lot of fun when they're supposed to be stupid, but faithful to the source is what's important as that's what the fans want to see.

I'd love a 3D arcade rail shooter where you're playing as a biblically accurate angel shooting down demons over cities and other landscapes. I'm already over the main obstacle which is knowing how to program, it's just finding the time...

Fix up The Hobbit into 2 movies, with more practical effects, or at least more subtle cgi.

OP didn't ask about music, but I feel like that fits the spirit of the question, so: my absolute favorite genre is Symphonic Metal, but that genre consists of a grand total of like 12 songs, most of which lean way too heavily on screamo howler monkey shit or opera.

If I could magically fund a symphony and get em to just rock out with a bunch of metalheads, 100% that.

Snowcrash (book) would lend itself to a pretty fun open world game.

A more surrealist mashup of the SCP Universe, Alan Wake and Control. Im in love with those.

Fire Emblem Three Houses as an anime with several 'filler' episodes with support conversations or new interactions between characters, really show what living through part 1 is like, 4 separate series for each route idk

More sense8. I enjoyed it but I fear it was too queer for genpop.

I'll do a reboot of Travelers

Coolest time-travel concept ever, it's a shame it got cancelled because of capitalism 😓

Make all the stubborn open world games such as fallout and dark souls have a full featured online + split screen co-op experience.

Recreate Vagrant Story.

The focus would be on graphics and implementing a fast way of changing weapons and armor.

Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.

A full remake of the classic games, and then the actual last game that they never finished.

Would love to see an hbo style show for Dresden files or for Brandon sandersons cosmere. They both have some fantastic potential.

I wouldn't mind a cartoony anime style either similar to Vox Machina

Thief or Deus Ex hard to decide

Baten Kaitos 3.

It's a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-"deck building" turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn't have as much budget.

A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team's current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

I'd fund several of my favourite smut stories with a plot (some of them do!) as NC-17 movies or series.

And just because someone will be curious: Daemon & Sunny, Eudeamon, knock knock, Once it gets dark.

TF3

Both titanfall and team fortress deserves a new game in the franchise

• The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman would be top choice.

• An extremely close second would be a mini-series based on the novel Imajica by Clive Barker (second only because I don't think anything would be able to truly do that book justice on screen so I'd be hesitant to even try.)

• A longer miniseries of L.A. Confidential that tells the whole story of the novel rather than having to chop and streamline it for a movie runtime. I love the movie and I think how they chose to cut and edit the story down is actually really brilliant, but I'd be interested in seeing the whole thing play out in a mini-series.

I would hire a ton of artistic, technical, and creative people, both experienced and inexperienced, and I would fund them and encourage them to create novel things.

There's an FPS game called Darkest of Days I remember kinda liking, where you're a time-travelling soldier who's trying to put history on the right path.

But basically all of the game's levels are centered around WW1 and the American civil war. If I had the means, I'd remake this game from the ground up, give it a more varied story that does the concept justice.

I always wanted to see genres merged into one great big epic universe

Plan and manage a galactic empire in the Civilization paradigm

Enter individual space battles like Eve Online..

Force boarding of captive ships and battle through them like Quake..

But have all this connected and running simultaneously.. you might be rushing though a FPS battle inside a ship trying to control of it when another Frigate in the space battle blows it apart etc. Or even as the ships bridge and navigation remains under hostile control you manage to take control of its weapons and use them to aid your side. Possibilities are endless..
