neumi5694: The Cobra Dynasty, a book series by Timothy Zahn.
That's an interesting concept. I can see potential for a game with that series. I'll have to check it out, some time.

ConsulCaesar: I think the magic system and artefacts in The Stormlight Archive series of books would make a very fun combat in an RPG. Plus there are tonnes of lore with different factions and races.
I haven't heard of that series, but it sounds like it would be up my alley. I love reading faction lore (spent half of yesterday reading about Warhammer orks).

Looger23: Incubation is a fantastic and still pretty unique game. Give me a proper remake that doesn't make my eyes bleed and Incubation 2 please!
Sorry, I'm a little confused. Do you mean this one?

Catventurer: I'd like to see more games based on the Ravenloft setting as it is very underutilized. There are two games that I can name that use this setting and both are from the DOS era.
Strahd's Possession used the Barovia setting
Stone Profit uses Har'Akir

Barovia itself feels sorely neglected considering that it is probably the most well known of Ravenloft locations.
I agree. It's why I like Innistrad from MTG so much. It feels like Ravenloft. I wish WotC would take chance on this IP :(

"A Castlevania game that's a retelling of Castlevania 3"

That's sounds like Bloodstained. Some aspects of the game are a little too close to the original. Like how Dominique from Bloostained is basically Sypha from Castlevania 3.
Some point and click, comedy game from an old sitcom.

andysheets1975: I would love to have a proper Conan game. Something like Witcher 3, where you just wander around and get into adventures with a lot of hacking and slashing.
Have you tried Conan Exiles? I want to try it because it's Conan, but the screenshots make the game look unremarkable.

dtgreene: You could check out Rogue Trader once it releases.
I most definitly will, even if it's not quite the style I meant. I was thinking more about something like KotoR.
But we take what we can get :D

ps: I can see that most people would rather think of Baldur's Gate rather than Kotor and rightfully so, that was me not expressing myself clearly.
I would love to see a new Onimusha game, a remake, sequel, reboot, anything. Such an amazing series but it's completely forgotten by Capcom. They only ever care about making Resident Evil games.

Baldur's Gate is too modern for me to consider to be "old-style". When I think "old-style", I'm thinking turn-based.

Also, one other idea for this topic:
* How about an Ultima game that follows the anachronistic setting of Ultima 1 and 2, and plays like those two games?

Yes. It was labelled as "Battle Isle IV" back in the day however it is very different from the Battle isle games.
I would like to see more games of Dizzy please. I don't understand why GOG and Steam can't have old titles at least, what's the problem for Oliver Twins to publish them digitally, I thought they retained all the rights for their franchise.

Anything by Brandon Sanderson is worldbuilding on steroids. It's his strongest suit.

If you have Neverwinter Nights, there are some modules on the NWVault based on Ravenloft. I can't recommend any specifically as I haven't played them yet. I'm currently going through one based on Greyhawk, which is another neglected D&D IP.

teceem: Star Trek TNG, with all the original actors for voices - while they're still alive.
avatar
J Lo: That's an interesting suggestion. I'm not very familiar with the series. Is there a specific genre that would best suit the Star Trek universe?
My preference:
3rd person* immersive sim / adventure, with an elaborate story and not just a mission-of-the-week.

*3rd person so you can play (multiple) main characters and actually see them. And not some generic newly invented crew member, like in Elite Force.

I have not. I've heard it's not bad but as a concept it just doesn't do anything for me, and it's not really cheap enough to grab it just to see if I'll like it. It seems like the current people are doing a somewhat better job of handling the license, as opposed to previous efforts that just were just outright not Conan, but they keep doing Conan-adjacent stuff like the MMO and Exiles instead of just doing the character himself.
While I wouldn't necessarily call the Highlander franchise "good" (despite my nostalgic fondness for the main TV series), I've always thought it could've made for an interesting video game or two.
The most obvious idea would be to make a fighting game. I think it would be best if it followed a single player-character (ideally through a branching series of fights), rather than doing the typical fighting-game thing and having a stable of different characters where no one is the canonical protagonist, except by "word of god" from the devs. Every battle could be a set-piece affair, culminating in the sword duel, but there could maybe be RPG level-up mechanics thrown in (each Quickening could give a certain amount of experience based upon the specific Immortal defeated), and probably some exploration and story in between major fights. Of course, there should probably be some flashback levels that take place in decades or centuries past, and in different locales.
And using voice actors who can actually sound like they fit the background of the characters they're supposed to be portraying would be good, too. ;P
