Given the recent Microsoft acquisition, I want a new Fallout game made by Bethesda, Obsidian, and inXile.

At the very least, it would give Tim Cain and Brian Fargo a chance to work on a modern Fallout title, which could be sick.

Whatever this is

Only you can customize the bedroom with whatever you want from decor to demos of games like how it has the vr TV set up and posters and props.

Basically a vr room you can use to recreate either a real or idealized version of your cherished memories, so kinda like a mix between the memory pods in fallout 4 and the ego trip memory implants in total recall

This is far from the same thing in terms of immersion, but there is a similar game in that style called "Anarchy Arcade" which works like a 3D desktop for games and programs. You can play in any Source engine compatible map and decorate your room with posters and furniture models. It's also free and VR compatible.
If you do play it though, you might wanna try playing it on the "Legacy" mode. The redux version fucked up a lot of things.
 
A proper remake of the Army Men games that isn't some janky indie game or a mod for Arma or whatever.

Better yet, you could do an open world game themed around army men and toy soldiers and mini figures. One of the video game tie-ins for Toy Story 3 had something similar to that but I'm more or less thinking a game that's a bit more open world and you can have a customized character who is a custom order figurine or something. Maybe the character creation menu is meant to look like some toy company's custom order section of their website.

If you wanted, you could even have certain parts of the open world built around themes like a typical Cowboys & Indians Wild West theme, a pirate theme with boats and hidden treasure on tropical islands, samurai and ninjas, a medieval area with a lot of fairy tale and fantasy elements alongside the knights and castles, a prehistoric region with dinosaurs, a Sci-Fi themed area with robots, aliens, and space men, or even a horror area with classic horror movie monsters like zombies, Dracula, Frankenstein's Creature, werewolves, sheet ghosts, wicked witches, gill men, etc.

To put it this way, if Minecraft was like the video game equivalent of playing with Legos then this game would be equivalent to playing with dolls, miniatures, and action figures.

The implication would be that the different areas are like different playsets or dioramas.
 
I just want a 100% detailed game of street racing where you learn how to customize your car (basically realistic way to modify your car), with Gran Turismo physics and some history of street racing. 100% would sell my kidney for it.
 
Another mech game that plays like Zone of the Enders.
 
A 2D fighter in a similar vein as Darkstalkers with the spooky Halloween vibe and the 90's anime style artwork but with a cast of both public domain characters (Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Sherlock Holmes, Ichabod Crane, Fenrir, etc.) and some OC's

There's this, but it's 3D styled like its freeware predecessor, which is fun in its own right.

(Bit of trivia: Darkstalkers was planned as a Universal Monsters fighting game, but the deal didn't work out, thus Capcom went with their own designs as a sort of tribute.)

I really wish there were more historical RPGs similar in spirit to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but in particular, one based around the American Revolution or Civil War.

For example, I have this idea in my head for a game with a very long (rectangular instead of square) map covering the Mississippi River. There would be three major cities of New Orleans, St. Louis, and Chicago, and it would run all the way from the Louisiana bayous to the Minnesota-Canada border. I don't know how far east or west it should go, exactly, but I like to imagine it maybe going about one state over on the eastern part (just the western thirds of Tennessee and Kentucky) and two states over on the western part.

In this space you have a little bit of everything terrain-wise. Bayou (Louisiana), hot humid forests (Mississippi), light woodland mountains (Ozarks), desert (South Texas), plains, flat woodlands (Illinois), thick snowy forests (Minnesota), badlands (Dakotas). The setting would be the American Civil War, maybe in a three-act structure running from the 1850s to 1870s, so you'd have the development from Bleeding Kansas to the Redeemers. It could be more of an open RPG like Fallout (w. guns) or a narrower game like Red Dead Redemption. "Muh muskets" is no excuse not to have such a game, because six-shooters existed over the whole period, along with various repeaters, breechloaders, etc., and muskets if anything add to the excitement by being one-shot weapons which you then use as clubs/spears or set aside to close in with melee weapons. You could make an interesting combat system out of literally any time period, and that includes the Revolutionary and Civil War eras.

For a smaller-scale game with a Civil War theme, you could have something like Kingdom Come: Deliverance w. guns but set in the Cumberland Plateau with freedom to choose faction, or the Indian Territory.

An open world game in Texas would also be really good, and not necessarily a historical one either. Texas would be perfect for a GTA: San Andreas like treatment, with its four major divisions (the Deep South-like east, the Great Plains-like north, the Southwest-like south and west, and the Hill Country) and its heritage and major cities. I don't understand why basically nobody has made a video game set in Texas in any time period.

Speaking of American settings, I would love for a fantasy rpg to gave a setting taking inspiration from the U.S. rather than Western Europe and its surroundings. Even if it is medieval, I'd love to see a medieval-style NYC, L.A, or D.C., and monsters taken from American/natuve american folklore.
 
I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for compilation games where several older games are all on one disc.

They were a big thing back in the PS2 era with stuff like Namco Museum, Midway Arcade Treasures, Capcom Legends, and so on. The brief trend of mini-consoles in the late 2010's were sort of a modern take on that concept.

I had several ideas for some compilations and even what games I'd have on them.

This compilation would be for Rockstar's earlier titles from the PS2 era that were largely forgotten or in the case of Manhunt and Bully, still have a following but are otherwise dead in the water.

GTA Liberty City Stories is there since it's Rockstar and GTA is their bread and butter but LCS is one of the better GTA games that's less well-known

Rockstar's Forgotten Gems
1. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
2. Oni
3. State of Emergency
4. Manhunt
5. Bully
6. Red Dead Revolver
7. The Warriors
8. Body Harvest
9. Smuggler's Run
10. Midnight Club: Street Racing
 
I want to see sequels to Temple of Elemental Evil using the same engine, or even better, the same engine as heavily modded by the Circle of Eight modding community, going through a whole slew of classic AD&D modules. I could see doing Against the Giants, or Queen of the Demonweb Pits. That's all I want.

Peak compilation disk era happened during the 6th generation of consoles since DVD offered more capacity to put lots of games on but it was before buying individual classic games as digital downloads was all that mainstream.

I'd still love to be able to get physical media compilations of older games for PS4 but I think Steam/GOG and mini consoles mostly killed the compilation disk star.
 
a guitar hero/strategy/band simulator. Just things added on to guitar hero gameplay, like story beats, the ability to recruit local musicians, and growing your band from garage level to mega arena superstars. Unexpected events like band members dying from ODs or getting poached by rival bands or groupies (like a Yoko Ono), and the ability to piece together riffs and song pieces to upload original creations. And a online mode where you perform in front of other players and they have the ability to cheer or boo you
 
A Brothers in Arms game set during the Battle of the Bulge, like what was hinted at the ending of Hell’s Highway.
 
A knock off of Mario Party for windows with online multiplayer (no, not fall guys)
 
A mp school shooter simulator type game.

4 players spawn in as School shooters and everyone else spawns in as their classmates. The classmates have to try and escape without getting shot and when they do they respawn as armed police. Game ends when all the shooters die or if the shooters are the last ones standing.
 
Reverse Monster Hunter

MH games are all MMO garbage I can't stand, but if you turned the thing around and made it so I could pick a dragon or a giant ape and just let me loose on a village or city, I might become a die hard fan.

Mass Effect 4, only they just go with the destroy ending and Shepard survived but it's been 6 months or something, and has to try and just keep galactic politics together since everyone is all fucked up. Utilize the gamesave setup Dragon Age Inquisition did where you could log in to your account, mark your choices from the previous games, and that's your file to upload to play ME4.

Mass Effect Andromeda was such shit, they even fucked up the fun multiplayer. I feel like Rich Evans feels about the franchise now.
