Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn't really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky battles, have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies, or a dystopian horror game set in a Minecraft style world. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar ideas for games or fantasies for possible games?

What's your ideas for games that doesn't really exist, or might not even really be possible to make?

I've been thinking about an ARPG based around World of Warcraft's mythic dungeons.

Scalable, multi-player, enhanceable instances where completion of more difficult versions of the instance rewards in better gear and crafting options.

The idea is that the content is created for a 5-man party (1 tank, 1 healer, 3 dps) but you can try solo it, or bring up to 20 people to massively increase the difficulty and the rewards. Instances would follow WoW dungeon's formula of trash mobs (which drop crafting materials and have rare drop chances for certain gear) pathing you towards a succession of bosses with very different, complex mechanics with stages, signaled abilities, and skill requirements.

This would include a character levelling system to unlock new class abilities and mechanisms, a party finder system, certain dungeons locked behind character level and the completion of other dungeons at a certain difficulty level. Perhaps you could extend it to add in "world bosses", massive 200-man bosses with a chance at particularly unique loot, but of course that would require a certain level of infrastructure and a game population making it justifiable.

Isn't this just World of Warcraft? It's practically a co-op ARPG at this point.

Suikoden 2 gacha with branching storylines for each single character

I want to know what Jet St Radio for the Wii could've been. Apparently one was tossed around, but at the end of the day was rejected. Tbf, this was 2006~ Sega, and it probably would've been trash. But I will still never not be curious about what could've been.

You've probably already heard about it, but take a look into Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It's coming out in about a month and looks amazing.

Ikr! I'm surprised it took so long for an indie project to fill the gap. If it's even half as good as jsrf, I'll be satisfied.

An FPS where your NPC allies/companions don't routinely run in front of you while you're shooting

An RPG hat doesn't have unique items buried in a radiant/procedurally generated quest line

If Crusader Kings is ever combined with Mount & Blade, I'll never see daylight again.

I want a new ski resort simulator game that also has the summer season.

No one has done a bug free version of the ski side in probably 2 decades at this point...

Steep exists, but to be honest it's boring as hell after 30 minutes

A multiplayer Dragon's Dogma game. I.E., a coop western-style third-person action RPG with a focus on exploration and interesting combat mechanics.

Outward came close but it's a bit too hardcore and focuses a bit more on survival mechanics.
