Ask Lemmy

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.

Kill 6 billion demons could be agreat show.

Uniracers 2

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

Spore remaster

Give Mortal Engines another go

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

I'll do a reboot of Travelers

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

AAA Yoko Taro's game.

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.

Definitely Scavengers Reign season 2. That show is so unique and refreshing.

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...

the people who made arcane would get all my money and as much time as they need to make more league shows.

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 word-for-word film adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And if I can’t get a film, I’ll take a solid MMO made of it by the same people that made Dark Age of Camelot.

Game: Prince of Persia Half Life 3 😂 Dune RTS

Call of Duty type game. Remove sliding, tac sprint, bunny hopping, EOMM, and microtransactions to bring back a true casual fps game.

Pen and Teller's Desert Bus game. I'd make a Faithfull remake of it down to the amount of time it takes to complete.

Live action/CGI gargoyles trilogy. Period piece (1991 New York) The vibe should be TMNT secret of the ooze. Silver Fox Johnathan Frakes plays the big bad, but not his original role, I'll get a writer's room to figure out his actual link to the situation, revealed at the end of the first movie.

Could end up crossing over with a live action CGI version of the current TMNT mutant mayhem situation, I'm open to it. Maybe The Last Ronan storyline is involved.

I'd love to see an R-rated survival horror Metroid movie.

Nintendo will never let it happen but I can dream.

I would really love for the Cradle Series by Wight to be made into a video game. It's like the books were written to be a video game.

In the book, the magic system has definable levels, only certain ways to make mix them, augmentation choices. The whole time I read the books, all I could think was how cool would this be if you made an open world system where you could combine madra systems and various paths to make a million different ways you could play a game.

Someone needs to make it... And if I had the money I would commission it right away.

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.

Deus Ex and cyberpunk.

Let them keep making games and slap as many wild dystopian conspiracy theories into it as possible. Both enhancing and sabotaging the general populous in it and watch the threads unravel and unite. Also would be curious to see how much of it ends up being true at the end of the day.

I would like to make a movie where I talk to my friends and we hang out and cook and eat and maybe do some fun and nice things in the community, like talking to people we don't know and getting them to join us. I don't really care how the movie turns out though, it just sounds fun to make.

Actual metaverse, consistent game physics, flight sim, animal sim, driving sim, etc. go through portals to enter different realms, like urban fantasy, high fantasy, scifi, cultivators, etc. inventory like those in cultivator/litrpg novels, I like the whole isekai genre fusion. Fusionfall prob influenced this take. Play as vr or pc/controller alongisde eachother. Vrchats never gonna be that, everythings avatar based no inventory, resonite meh, metas sucks, I dont see it happening
