What's a really cool game that no one has made yet?
-
Michael Bay Movie Simulator?
-
I liked that idea when they called it Blast Corps and released it for the Nintendo 64.
Although a modern version would be cool.

A game or series of games where you play in the same world, but completely different gameplay styles.
For example, you direct units in a battle against your enemy as a real-time strategy. Or you can play as one of the units as a FPS. Or infiltrate the enemy base in a stealth game while everyone's distracted in the heat of the battle and kill the guy directing their units. Or be in charge of managing the in-game economy as to get the money flowing, or design the bridges so the troops can cross...
And better yet, you could make it an online game so that multiple people are playing it at the same time, and the events on your game depend on the people playing the other games. So you have to team up in real time with other people playing completely different games. Like a class-based game taken to the extreme.
Yes, a bit difficult to implement, I can see that.

Didn't Sony try that with their Planetside thing?
Also MechWarrior has both strategy and vehicle sim games in the same universe. As does Halo.
-
That's basically how Natural Selection works. One player on each team is playing an RTS and everyone else is playing an FPS.
-
There's also the Commander screen, invented in Starsiege Tribes and available in almost every Battlefield game to this day.
-
But there is no Bridge Constructor mode. Dismissed.

Random thought, a version of Pac Man where you're one of the ghosts rather than Pac himself.

A version of Pac Man where you're one of the dots.

More lame than I'd hoped. I has a sad.

I always thought the Autoverse from Greg Egan's Permutation City sounded like it would be fun. It's essentially a universe simulator based on a cellular automaton, with (here's the magic part) a set of simple rules so we can do fast computation, which nevertheless are finely tuned enough to produce a discrete set of atoms (32 types IIRC) with distinct similarities to our own lighter ones, as well as larger macroscopic features such as a gravitational force (which is called out in the book as being pretty much useless since there's nowhere near enough capacity anywhere in the world to simulate any respectable amount of mass, but which comes into play later).
You can view the action on any level from individual Autoverse cells, through the molecular region (each atom is a few hundred base cells), all the way up to larger structures - basically as large as you can afford the computation costs for. The creator of the Autoverse also transcribed a bacterium into its Autoverse equivalent and modified it enough to make it a viable organism within the Autoverse, given the Autoverse equivalents of sugar and water to sustain it. One of the novel's characters has spent quite a bit of time and money in making modifications to the bacterium to try to get it to exhibit natural selection, so sometimes she's working at the molecule level and sometimes she's looking at a series of bacterial cultures with varying nutrient supplies, but it's all running on the same engine underneath.

A kinect-based first person shooter where you aim and shoot by pointing finger guns at the screen.
But apparently the kinect is discontinued... yeah, Microsoft wouldn't want to break their tradition of abandoning everything after 5 years.

A game, set in the modern day, involving science and magic and shit. The unique feature is that, after you play through the whole game and beat the primary antagonist, you can then play through the game as the primary antagonist. Their side has its own motivation, side characters, quests, etc. Decisions you made during the protagonist's storyline affect the antagonist's storyline, and decisions you make during the antagonist's storyline will affect further playthroughs of the protagonist's storyline. In some certain interactions with side characters, you can unlock them for play, in their own storylines, with their own motivations and side characters and quests and etc., and you end up building this web of interconnected personal stories. Different characters play very differently, and sometimes it'd feel like a completely different game. The storylines don't always tie up the loose ends, and there's a true ending for those who can figure out the clues hidden across several characters' storylines.
Probably won't get made. Hell of a lot of work. Time-consuming to play. But it'd be really cool.

@pie_flavor That reminds me of Nier: Automata…
-
@pie_flavor So...Dresden Files: The Videogame?
-
Back to the title of this thread: a sequel to Elder Scrolls V would be a cool game that no one has made yet. Three years overdue and counting.
-
@blakeyrat yeah, or Portal 3
-
@pie_flavor If Valve ever wants to get back into making games, they should just make one called "3" and make it be Portal 3, Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3 rolled into one. Somehow.
OK, TF3 might be a bit of a stretch, but the Portal and HL 2 games actually referenced each other's universes so it could work.

TF3 is never coming. There are microtransactions in TF2 and TF2 is free-to-play. As far as I know, that makes it impossible to create a sequel. There will also never be another Counter-Strike after Global Offensive or another Dota after 2.

@ben_lubar Fantastic company, can't count to three. Shame.

The weird thing is that they can count to four.

@ben_lubar They can count to four but find three challenging? Are they in charge of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

Sega tried something like this in 2006.

A 2D fighting game with street fighter controls that is focused slightly more on ranged combat than melee, where characters are composed of replaceable parts that both provide a special move and make some modification to other skills.
It doesn't exist because I haven't worked on it seriously in the past two years. If I had, it might exist. I am now sad.

Sonic the Hedgehog
-
@hungrier You don't play as the antagonist in Sonic 06 though. So your joke doesn't work.
-
@blakeyrat Sonic Adventure 2 might fit a bit better in that regard, but it still works for most of the points.
-
@blakeyrat It's no use.
-
@magus That is such a great boss fight. I've seen tons of people play it on videos and nobody's ever beaten it as (presumably) intended by the developers-- you usually just wait for his voice line and wail on X and hope things work out.

A remake of Super Mario 64, but you play as a regular human with normal human physics.
You have to cut trees to build bridges to get to places.

I don't think such game would be taken well in current political climate.

@anonymous234 Not sure how well that turned out for the miners in The Expanse (which is worth a watch IMO)

You think environmentalists are gonna hate a game which axes virtual trees? So far "Professional Lumberjack 2015" hasn't been banned to my knowledge.

@JBert I was wondering if there was some sort of anti-tree cutting political movement I missed...

To get 1-Up you have to call a dealer using a burner phone, meet them in their decrepit RV in the desert, and then find your way back in nothing but your underpants.

A visual novel where you play a nutritionist trying to convince Popeye to eat more than spinach. He knows his diet is bad for him, but he is just too emotionally invested to change. It's a character study in addiction, self-loathing, misplaced desire for "comfort from food", and self-fulfilling prophecies of self-destruction-- all wrapped around lessons in biology, nutrition, and the lack of healthy food for those in poverty.
