the good from mgs + the good from thief + the good from splinter cell = the perfect stealth game we never got

Not legendary, but I'd love to see Senran Kagura x Soulsborne, with some tweaks.

>pick only one of the girls for a run, the rest have now been turned into horrific mutations, demons and whatnot

>the city has turned to shit, so familiar Shinobi enemies are now undead, and more vicious, like an undead bear Shinobi or the fucking crossbow maid ones

>artstyle is still anime, but much more bleak and detailed in gore, grime and dirt

>girls trying to find their way out, stay alive or just do SOMETHING

>the other girls you didn't choose have now mutated according to their animal and weapons, so that makes it ice spider Yumi, Minori surrounded by rotten cake and food, yagyuu as a huge squid, undead hibari riding her pet rabbit with burnt skin and emmiting thunder, blob molten haruka, mirai with all her firearms fused into her skin, etc

>game is shorter than a Soulsborne because the city isn't that big, but would be more focused on boss fights, and sometimes unexpected fights or short skirmishes against them; gameplay is similar to Soulsborne games, maybe a little bit faster

It's shit. Even in PSP2i, which fixed all the gameplay problems that PSU had and turned it into a truly excellent title - it still couldn't decouple itself from PSU's absolutely rancid lore, setting, and artstyle - creating a blight on the title that will haunt it forever.

Also, PSU's combat isn't very good. In fact, it shit the bed really hard when compared to it's predecessor - despite PSO having clunky controls and a terrible camera. In PSO, Over half of the enemies, if not more, had some little trick to fighting them. Poufully Slimes would split it hit with the third strike in a combo. Nar Lillies would paralyze you if you couldn't maintain a stun lock. Hildebears and Sinow Beats could be stunlocked with light attack. Dubchics had to be killed once, then you had to target the group's control unit or they'd keep reviving. Savage Wolfs would debuff themselves if you killed the Alpha. Dark Belra's could be stunned by running around them in a circle, causing them to get dizzy. Dark Gunners were only vulnerable just before they fired, but you could stun the whole group if you targeted the one with the Red Jewel. There were just tons of little mini-strategies and tricks to fighting enemies that it really kept you engaged and switching up tactics.

PSU had none of that. It was basically just running up to a damage-sponge enemies face and spamming PAs until it died. The only one that had a real strategy that I remember were the Bil De Vear variants which would trigger a devastating spinning clothesline attack if you staggered them. Otherwise, it was generally down to genetic strategies for whole classes of enemies. For instance, don't use blow-back PAs on trash mobs, since they're easier to clear when clumped up for a FO to nuke. Larger enemies (like Dilla Griena and Polavohra) you wanted to use blow-back PAs to knock them over and prevent them from attacking. Maybe that's why Bil De Vear actually stands out to me, because it was against the general rule when dealing with that enemy type.

Also, the foundation of a good character creation system were there, but the clothing/parts options sucked ass for the first year and a half to two years until much of the AotI content was unlocked.

>All this new pso information

Never managed to make it very far (being offline and solo) and I didn't know that hildebear trick since I only use newman casters.

Thought of some other ones

Separation Anxiety/Maximum Carnage

>Symbiote characters and Spider-man

Prototype

>Gameplay for enemy symbiotes

>The weight from Prototype 2 for Venom, nix bladed weapons since he doesn't use those

Web Of Shadows

>Spider-man campaign

It would be absolute shit now considering the nature of the business, but once upon a time I thought combining Morrowind with Star Wars would have been the neatest fucking thing. The idea of stumbling upon some nondescript cave and uncovering an ancient lightsaber of immense power was exciting as all hell to me.

One of my dream games for years has been some game that combines Soulsborne gameplay with a 90s beat'em-up theme.

There's no reason why it wouldn't work well and I'm surprised no dev actually tried it yet.

That sounds fucking retarded and you should be embarassed for having considered that to be a good idea.

Shame on you!

Metroid Prime with Elite FPV space flight/combat between planets

>That sounds fucking retarded

That's fine, this is what everyone who gives me (You)s say whenever I bring that idea up. I'm used to it. I still love the idea, think it would be nice and dream about it.

What should we call it then? Just "Souls clone" or something? There doesn't seem to really be a consensus on what this specific style of games should be called. Reminds me of when "first person shooter" didn't exist and everyone just called these games "Doom clones".

Splinter Cell Spies vs. Mercs in facilities created Evil Genius style by someone else, with gadgets more in the style of NOLF.

Open World Tony Hawk's Underground handled Burnout Paradise style.

Keep the off-board parkouring element but disallow it during missions or challenges and keep it solely for exploration. Keep some old-school collect-a-thon elements (put a S-K-A-T-E chain in every major area, for example). Have a story and player progression, but don't try to make it realistic or sensible and make sure every cutscene (if there are any) is skippable. Add an immersive "fast travel" system that lets you call an Uber and then skitch all the way to your destination.

Final Fight crossed with SimCity, where you play it as a regular city building sim - but when you start having a crisis, you take control of Mayor Haggar and set out to take care of shit yourself. Crimes or Riots would obviously have you setting out in a side-scrolling beat-em-up mini game, but other scenarios present themselves, and all of which should have you playing Haggar completing mini-games like a beefed up WarioWare to take care of emergencies as they pop up.

I like it.

Put FROM, ACQUIRE and Platinum in a sweaty room and not allow them out until they become some Ito gelatin.

(You)

That's a nice idea, where you could plan out routes, instead of relying on multiplayer. Sort of like that Castle Doctrine game that the developer was too soy to admire their creation.

There is no room for such mistakes. It is a bitch to get running after XP. Bless those LEAFS I taught over MPlayer and after.
