I was just wondering about what types of games people want... but that don't exist, yet. I mean, surely most of us have some concept we'd like to see explored in a video game that fulfills our personal desires, so let's hear them. Personally, I have wanted two certain types of games for quite a long time, now.

First, I want a Bethesda-style, open world action-RPG based on feudal Japan. I would want it to feature a highly/stylistically realistic art style and plenty of in-depth, accurate information about Japan during the feudal era to properly flesh out the gameworld. Obviously, the game, being Bethesda style, would not be able to realistically cover all of Japan, but given that Japan has a relatively small landmass as it is, I think Bethesda could scale it down and do it justice at the same time. Also, while simultaneously being historically and culturally accurate, I'd want the setting to also, obviously, have its fantastical and unrealistic elements such as demons and creatures straight out of Japanese mythology being brought to life in this pseudo-realistic, stylistically accurate world. I'd want the soundtrack to also be culturally based off of Japan by utilization of Japanese instruments and musical styles.

As is customary for any Bethesda-style game, exploration and plenty of content would be a given. I can't work out whether I'd want all the voiced dialogue to be in Japanese with subtitles, in English with as realistic of a Japanese accent present everywhere (except with some of the European traders/missionaries possibly in the game), or just in English with a Northern American accent. I stress the realistic art style as, contrary to actually Japanese games, I want to see Japan as it was. I'm asking for a Western style RPG taking in place in Japan... but I doubt I'll ever get such a game. Western developers seem focused on realistic fantasy settings based on medieval Europe, Japanese developers seem focused on completely styled and "cartoony" fantasy games (with the exception of a few such as Demon's Souls... but then that's still based on medieval European fantasy) that base nothing off of Japanese history and historical culture, and few developers anywhere beside Bethesda seem interested in making Bethesda-style games.

The second game I'd want to see is a Bethesda-style Star Wars game with the Star Wars equivalents of above. Aside from those two, there are honestly a myriad of settings I'd like to see explored in Bethesda's style. Now, please post any of your own hopes and dreams for video games.

A current Fallout not on Gamebryo

A zombie apocalypse RPG thats more focused on survival and keeping your home town safe (Maybe a walled town or something of the kind) Imagine with the free roam aspect of Fallout 3/NV along with being able to fashion armor made from what you find. Etc.

I want some kind of Fallout-ish action rpg centered around surviving an apocalyptic event besides a nuclear wasteland or zombie apocalypse. DO NOT SAY RAGE.

The Game. Everything possible rolled into one.

I'm still waiting for AoM II.....

Also, I'm waiting for Microsoft to unshackle RARE from the prison that is Kinect Sports and allow them to make a new IP.

No. It'd be nothing like real life. Life is fairly limited when compared to the boundaries of a video game world.

an open-world futuristic first/third person action rpg/Mech sim

pretty much a proper bethesdianesc rendition of the pen & paper RPG Mechwarrior where the mechwarrior isn't always in the cockpit of the mech.

Just wait for some of the new mini-game expansion packs, they should be coming out in the next 10-20 years.

Another Mercenaries game, but with RPG elements, and not made by EA.

A low fantasy (but with magic and mythology) open world Ancient Greece RPG.

Another Muzzle Velocity type game that combines first person action with over head real time strategy, conducting a lot of troops at once.

I'm just waiting for Thief 4. And a longer, bigger, opener, KoToR. Maybe a single-player, Bethesda-style Old Republic, like the OP mentioned. And Rome II: Total War. I'm not hard to please, and I'm happy with existing games, I just want bigger/better/newer/faithful versions of them.

I'm hoping for the Mass Effect mmo someday. Or a game like Project Offset would have been really cool too.

Ick I'm not a fan of the RMT (real money transaction) system :laugh:

What if Bethesda bought the rights to Age of Mythology?

:ahhh:

I would want the same thing as Seti, maybe a series with one set in Japan, one in Ancient Greece and another in perhaps South America and Mexico (Aztecs, Mayans Incas) The series would be in chronological order and each would have the cultures mythological creatures. The individual games could have many different endings since each game in the series would be separate.

Everything other than this Seti covered perfectly.

Not sure really. Id want the IP, not Bethesda. Beth would probably want to dumb it down and make it for everybody. Taking away some stats and "spreadsheety-ness" of a RTS. Then again this depends on if your implying that they change how AoM was. Since I saw in your previous post you want another AoM that is a RTS, not an RPG. Id rather have a remake of AoE, that encompasses both ancient times and medieval times. I loved AoE 1&2. Wasn't a huge fan of 3.

I wish Ensemble Studios didn't close.

:sadvaultboy:

An open world game for all major time periods and areas and areas

So, Ancient Rome (including Europe under Roman rule), Ancient China, Medieval Europe, WW1 Europe, WW2 Europe, Cold War America etc.

That sounds like it would be incredible. I hope Bethesda takes it upon themselves to make such a series. Feudal Japan, Hellenistic Greece, South America around or before the time of the Conquistadors' arrival, Classical Rome, ancient Egypt, Ayyubid or Crusade era Middle-East, Mughal Empire India, etc.

Oh yeah! Here's another idea I've thought of.

A video game adaption of Nineteen Eighty-Four (Orwell) where you play as Winston Smith in first person.

When I saw Bioshock: Infiinite and Dishonored I thought of this instantly.

This

I wouldn't mind an open world Vietnam/Cold/WW2/WW1 game series either
Or a medieval RTS with the same gameplay/graphics as Company of Heros

@Fort Ignavus, I think a better idea would be to play as eother a civilian of the no-mans land or a soldier for one of the two major powers.

I do too.

If id and BGS made a game together this could easily be achieved. :biggrin:

And I can see where you're coming from. Also, it would be fun to play as someone in the Inner Party or the Ministry of Love.

There is no RMT, it's completely F2P and everything is bought with in-game currency.
