>your ideal game that will never be made

>except if you make it yourself

Just make the barebones core of your game and if it plays well then expand upon it and add all those features listed, some fag already made a really shitty slasher game set in the 80s where you just kill a bunch of people in an area like you're jason voorhees and even though everything about the game is meh its still cool to have it

>Dystopian cyberpunk future

>Small extremely detailed Open world in which you can enter every building

>Tons of lore and bigger world events exposed through radio/television/internet and other NPCs, some of which change the world

>F.E.A.R tier A.I and gunplay

>5 main factions

>Actions and decisions actually matter in the bigger scope and will open and bar options for you and change the art design and layout of the Open World

>You can actually play the game after you finish the main campaign and see all the changes you made

MGSV but good and with all 5 chapters finished

Combine

>Action Tonk Squad Semi-RPG game

>Timeline is maybe around 70-80's era or so

>Uses globescape system

>Ayy Lamo are invading Earth for resource reasons and territorial control

>The player needs to use every outdated equipment that is available for him, he will be outgunned, outrunned and outmanned the only option left for him is the pure survival instinct and sheer will to face this ongoing xeno onslaught that decides the fate for the whole galaxy and mankind itself

>Bases can be made and it has some typical RTS element to set it up and maintenance it such as resources like metallurgical metals, ore refining, food, water, rubels, coal and uranium that needs to be harvested on special map spot that have those mineral deposits

>For exceptional reason the player has access to 1 unique helicopter that will be used to move all the mechanized squads on the battle hotspots

>coal and uranium obviously are needed for Coal/Uranium Power Plants

>From time to time the player needs to protect the resource convoy so it doesn't fall to the bandits or ravaging alien bastards

>Almost everything can be crafted that is necessary for the war effort, provided there is enough research, materials and workers available to do so

>Procedural Map Generation because some variety is better than playing the exact same map for 6 millionth time

>Vehicles/Tanks equipment can be swapped on War Factory for example several different treads, weapon system, modules, upgrades, artifacts to enhance the combat performance of it

>Almost everything can be upgraded, or enhanced with modules/artifacts where it makes sense

>for example a Cannon weapon item has a few module slots for modules that can give several stats bonuses

>Ammunition can be also enhanced but it is a time and costly process to do so

>Crews can gain experience for example a Gunner if he tends to make several accurate shot he will improve his skills over time or better detection system

>The commander will gain over time experience will be able to give better order to his crew which have a impact on overall morals and reaction speed

>On battle scape some equipment can be swapped on the field such as switching the main cannon with a different one as it sees fit but not everything

>Vehicles can loot items from various places or scavenging wreckages which may be directly useable or some research needs to be done

>On battle scape the player will field a few infantry and vehicles which can be given several orders or direct controlling them for a FPS/TPS like gameplay

>With enough research the player can invest in some AI modules which can partially replace vehicle crews for various function either in support role or direct control mode but they will never properly replace a skilled crewmen

>Several mission types such as: Search and Destroy, Bag&Tag a specific specimen, Protection, Rebuilding effort, escorts, scavenging a specific material/research interest

>Once enough progress has to be made the player has to fund large amount of materials for a space project for a vengeance attack to the alien dimension but before that is possible a research needs to be done that makes it possible for a interstellar travel to the moon to search evidence for alien dimension and then doing the final preparation to end this nightmare once and for all after years of countless battles and bloodshed

I know.. It is one hell of a complex game but man one can dream can he not? If I would only know were to start programming it is like a big maze of confusion to find what is relevant. The Godot documentation is confusing and I have no idea what I need to read that is needed to make a smallish game.

this but with a more open ended setting

>the people of earth suddenly discover cheap ftl mid 1990's

>suddenly colonizing the galaxy

>technology on the ground doesn't advance that much and the actual

>deep space traveling is clunky at best serves almost entirely to transport

>ftl relies heavily on 'insert rare material here'

>it's the late 2010's and human beings are scrambling to take a foothold on the most valuable habitable exoplanets

>others are taking strategic footholds near valuable exoplanets and gearing up for war

>the gear is mostly copies of old earth stuff

>would be mostly beneficial to join up with another player's faction and company to start out because of the brutal difficulty

>you trade various things you find on the ground to get equipment dropped off to you by war profiteering companies

>eventually the player character would be able to manufacture things on his own to begin to build a sizeable army

>army's can consist of natural born humans, primitive robots/androids or clones

>the various troops would be tiered by cost/upkeep and by various abilities

>gear starts out with old soviet tier tech

>an extreme focus on a massive gear list

<would be fairly simple to utilize the vast knowledge set developed by the army of /k/ autists to achieve this

>much of the player gear would utilize already developed templates for simplification

<most of the gear would simply need some number value replacement for balance sake

>for more complex gear like various optics/ground to air launchers/mines etc would get a more sim-like focus

>support for drones, radio and data networks, orbital observation via satellites

>rougelike character building where you can choose from a number of backgrounds and traits that have various benefits and drawbacks

>some of them be geared towards players who just want to play on their own and includes some AI troops to squad up with

>semi-standard rougelike attribute system that can be trained while you spend time doing troop/base management and develop naturally as you do various planet-side operations

>semi-permadeath based on a 'cloning' system

>either through gameplay means or through choosing an option in the creation screen your character can live again

>has to be paid for every time in some way and the cost, being as we aren't very far in the future, is very high

>all stats get reset and even gimped a little

>stats can be enhanced with various combat drugs all with their own possible negative effects on your stats

>character gets to maintain his 'bank account'

<the lore would explain that the memories of your past life would be CIA/MK-ULTRA'd into your clone to clear any confusion

>a strive for total realism

>vehicles would be as close to sim as possible

<this would attract at least the playerbase of dedicated sim autists to populate your armies

>game time vs real time would be about every 4 hours to 12 actual hours

>things like eating, drinking and shitting/pissing would all be essential to gameplay

<the more annoying aspects of basic survival like sleep can be done with commonly available combat drugs etc

>incredibly detailed gore system

>characters can survive with horrible wounds and can benefit from various primitive cybernetics that, while expensive, can keep you in the fight

>damage system tracks every part of your body, down to your fingers that can be shot off / exploded from your body

>would include various chemical (and maybe biological) weapons

>player interaction system would be complex enough to pull of stunts like mass executions by beheading etc

>the game can either be played on several community maintained servers

>one of these servers is the 'nuclear weapons enabled' server

>nuclear weapons are the absolute top tier of possible tech and the costs are astronomical

>there are some various old earth nukes floating around some black market centers to start off with

<or

>on local servers that your friends can join in on with various nuclear capabilities enabled

>public servers would get incremental wipes that would coincide with various updates

>no pay to win, no loot boxes

<although the possibility of an obscene cost to develop such a monstrosity might allow some kind of paid feature

>it would be have to be some kind of cosmetic feature relating to the character creation

most importantly

>mod support for player servers

>>16038095

what you are describing almost sounds like cortext command

too bad it was never given multiplayer

>>16037454

Just curious, what's wrong with Xcom?

>>16046131

That would be pretty funny and also cool having a shootout in the middle of some ghetto or synagog

A 3D fighting game but with giant women in it to appeal to my degenerate giantess fetish.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING GAME JOSH?

Ghost Master but with:

-An actual budget so it actually gets finished instead of being forced to tie up loose ends 40% of the way into development

-The original more stylized art direction as depicted in concept art, rather than the more generic style we got

-Allow any ghost to be used in replays, seriously we shouldnt have needed a mod for that

-Allow un-purchasing powers

-More restrictive gameplay so you cant just blitzkrieg every level with bind/rebind and insta-casting strategies, and make the Orders system actually matter

-Make training level do something other than just add more orders

>>16046473

So basically King of the Monsters: Waifu Edition?

I can get behind this.

>How do you think this would be received if by some miracle it was made?

>Game series like Hitman work well and are accepted well enough, why couldn't this?

(((Journalists))) would immediately spin it as a minority murder simulator pandering to the 'alt-right' seconds after someone puts together a compilation of their skinhead character murdering niggers. Just look at that GTA type game with hacking (don't remember its name) where you could look up the background of NPC's. Games like Hitman get away with it because they're not as sandboxy.

My dream game is extremely simple and easy to achieve

War Thunder, but Jumbos and KV-1 both can't see anything below 4.7

Not even a notion of a downtier. Either full 4.7 or above up to 5.7

Fucking sealclubbing shitcunts.

My dream game WAS made and I wish it wasn't.

I shit you not I ranted to my friends about this dream game in 2015 and said it would never happen. This is word for word what I wanted 4 years ago.

>be me, love trading card games but anti social

DAH3 by Pandemic

basically a game like gta but you start and create a character and are given a background and occupation and you actually have to climb the criminal ladder 1 step at a time selling dimebags to putting others on to do the work for you they have loyalty mechanics other syndicates have interactions with you leading to more game mechanics, politics systems, etc.

How about they make an actual crime game for once instead of making a "Open world experience with criminal elements"

How about a game where you actually play as the bad guy? Instead of a misunderstood gangster with a heart of gold? How about we actually sell heroin and see it's effects on the community. Now as a smart villain and enterprising criminal you can now take advantage of the massive amounts of dopeheads you have on the streets who will do anything for a fix and you can fund methadone clinics at the same time.

>>16047168

I feel your pain anon, that too is my dream game.

>>16046473

it's coming ok please don't yell at me

>>16051198

thanks anon, it just gave me a similar vibe

you know what I'd really want, a godfather kinda game set in rural sicily in the late 1800 early 1900 where you can play as this sect in pics related and would travel underground through a network of caves playing vigilante and hiding from the fascist bolis

>>16051607

>None of those apply tp F.E.A.R

>implying

>Zankuro is fucking trash

opinion discarded

>Super Mario 64

>Better Camera

>Interesting level themes

>No filler missions

It won't exist until I make it, at least.

>>16037014

You know Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon?

Imagine if it's timeline spanned from 0079 to Unicorn instead? And was an optionally online co-op game and on PC with mobile suit customization and character customization?

Sadly, Gundam is kind of niche among normalfags and Bandai sucks with Gundam in the West in regards to vidya.

Because I'd pay full price for this kind of game or any sort of good mecha game on the PC with co-op to play with my pals.

>>16052895

Make it operational scale with combined arms from NPCs of other service branches while you're at it, go for broke for what dream things Bandai won't bother to do. Up the enemy count. Have more military-style mission objectives at least nominally; rather than 'kill X number and type of enemy in the restricted arena' or 'kill these cargo planes,' give the player meaningful targets on battlefields with properly drawn frontlines with a musou overview map. Punch through X location to raid the backline; destroy these gun posts to open the way for exploitation forces and complete an encirclement; destroy or capture a specific target like a Mobile Suit or a staff officer; all likely to be done in concert with infantry or mechanized elements. Or if in space, fleet elements.

And unlike some usual musou, where an objective completion might cause chaff troops to directly appear or disappear to accomplish the effect of 'the enemy is routing' or 'reinforcements have arrived,' do that with stat & AI modifiers or scripts for troops that already exist on map and bring them in from a map edge or an explicit, interceptible airdrop if they're new spawns who aren't coming out of a garrison. Both to preserve suspension of disbelief, and to create a meaningful relation between 'forces that are here now' and 'forces I will have to deal with or work around later.'

Meanwhile, the objectives themselves aren't necessarily completed as soon as you get the first tickmark. If you're raiding, then you need to raid by attacking supply lines, munitions dumps, enemy HQ elements, and divisional or corps support weaponry like field guns, MLRS, support mobile suits or land battleships, with broad discretion given. If you're opening the way for encircling forces, you need to make sure they actually make it through the gap and dynamically follow through to complete their own objectives for as long as fuel and ammo hold out in a sustained breakthrough action. If you're capturing something the enemy really doesn't want you to, you might end up in a belated escort situation until it's clear. How you choose to carry through with that and when you choose to break off may be up to you, on the other hand.

And the infantry doing their ground pounding jobs aren't necessarily unimportant filler, because their very existence is an effective point defense for you. Hundreds or thousands of eyes and guns, fully capable of seeing that hull down tank or wire-guided missile dugout you might've missed to provide a callout. And a counter to the enemy infantry, who if ignored and given enough chances might plink you in just the right place to cause a sensor or mobility kill with a crappy LAW or a squad AT weapon. So making the lives of your grunts easier and the lives of the enemies' harder is a good way to subtly snowball a mission towards easier success.

Finally; give the campaigns meaningful divergence potential with some roleplaying between and sometimes in missions, with the player being a commissioned officer with at least a little pull from the start. If you're playing Feddie, beside the obvious route of joining the AEUG when the postwar goes sour, maybe you can avert some of the depredations of the Earth Elite or prevent the Titans crisis entirely with the right choices; or you could intensify and finalize them if you're a real bastard. You could be a military reformist or a hardliner in the Gundam vs GM argument regarding grunt Mobile Suit quality. And there's always the opportunity to, eventually, pursue or bury the Box.

If you're playing Zeon, you could always ensure one of the movements survives and achieves victory. Zabis' Principality alone has all kinds of potential for who you can choose to support in the factional and familial infighting, for better or worse, or you could choose to try and build bridges for the betterment of the war effort, or stay strictly, professionally uninvolved. You could flirt with the rump Deikunist-democratic circles on the sly. You could influence the hellish mess of Zeons' procurement, get some streamlining & early or more widespread suit appearances, and prevent the wasteful tragedies of Gundam IGLOO. Maybe even get M'Quve's United Maintenance Plan through, if you make the right friends and don't step on the wrong toes, namely by effectively currying favor with Dozle & Kycillia and their subordinates at the same time. The immediate postwar has branching potential in choosing to flee to Axis, joining the Delaz Fleet, or striking out on your own as a privateer. Or going to Mars, as a secret option.

The alternate story possibilities are endless, and it's not like Bamco wouldn't be able to figure this shit out, they already did a simpler version of it in Gundam Vs Zeta Gundam and they have no shortage of typewriter monkeys to rough it all out. Minus the last points on plot, it's all sort of like Panzer Front with mechs, if I had to compare it to anything.

I want them to remake pic related with modern tech.

Give it 8-way run, make it so getting back up doesn't take upwards of 8 seconds, character customization (not creation) for a multitude of costume possibilities.

More weapons to select and an expanded edge master mode in the vain of SCII's weapon master mode.

Get rid of the critical edge mechanic and weapon gauge the original had and just use SCIV's soul gauge and SCV's guard crush mechanic.

But even if this does get remade, Bamco would find ways to fuck it up.

Exuberant amounts of DLC, day 1 DLC, season pass, online pass, guest characters up the ass.

Characters will have a unnecessary new comeback mechanic to make it more accessible to new comers.

Customization items would be half-ass instead of getting every item that was already present in previous games like we are supposed to.

Normal characters will somehow have access to magic somewhere in their move set, instead of having a more grounded approach to the weapon based combat like in the original.

Fan favorites from later games will be shoe horned into the game at the expense of balance and consistency.

Minor changes will be made to retcon certain aspects of other characters, Sigfried's height, Cervantes weapons having no pistol / firing capabilities, Taki only having one weapon instead of having two.

Soulcalibur will be shoehorned into the plot.

Redditards will throw a shit fit for not having character creation for them to make their shitty OC.
