Ask Lemmy

I'm addicted to urban fantasy right now so I definitely wish we could get another swing at The Secret World. I love hidden world things like a second society of cryptids beneath the mundane and I've been inlove with the setting for forever.

I know the devs were talking about a tv series but... nothing.

I've also always wanted to do a band of brothers style series but from a star wars' perspective where half the series is in the eyes of rebels and the other half in the eyes of the empire. But to slowly build up more gray morality - like the rebel soldiers have to struggle with committing acts that cause civilian casualties to push their objective. Or the stormtroopers slowly being broken from the imperial cult but still loyal to the concept of what it means for order.

Or like.. a band of brothers style series of a platoon of imperial guardsman in 40k. Just guys struggling to survive demons, aliens, and killer robots.

Deus Ex and cyberpunk.

Let them keep making games and slap as many wild dystopian conspiracy theories into it as possible. Both enhancing and sabotaging the general populous in it and watch the threads unravel and unite. Also would be curious to see how much of it ends up being true at the end of the day.

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

movie: any muppet movie

series: zefrank's true facts, numberphile, myths and legends podcast

video game: so far larian studios, but there's a lot of small pubs and indie devs that are great as well

F zero gx 2. GOAT racing game

Two games should be made into movies -

Interstate 76

Full throttle

Probably dating myself with those suggestions. Another wildcard game that should be made into a movie - MechWarrior - whatever version.

Game: Prince of Persia Half Life 3 😂 Dune RTS

Any game with almost realistic graphics that is somehow capable of running at 60fps minimum at 1440p on ultra graphics with a simple Intel Graphics Igpu thanks to the power of optimization, in order to let the world know how garbage modern AAA games are.

World of cultivation, I’d fund a donghua for that book so fast

A proper movie adaptation of the hunger games books. They currently lack so much depth and detail that makes the parallels to the USA clear. Also actual young actors, people don't realize how young the characters are supposed to be.

Metal Gear Cobra: The Joy

The story of how the unit came to be Heroes in WWII, and especially the Normandy event for them. I want to see The Joy's story earlier. Potentially allow replaying as each member of the team.

A sequel could be training Snake amd doing missions with him in the 50's, ending with the flight to space.

Alternatively, tell the story of Raiden saving Sunny.

Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.

I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

Ecco the dolphin mania

I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)

Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.

Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.

And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character

Neuromancer, with out updating it for technology. I want that phone bank scene.

need another bioshock sequel another sleeping dogs sequel splinter cell sequel

and remake game like 'tacticool' on android, the game has so many potential.. butthe microtransaction is predatory

I'm sure there is, but they're unknown to me. I'm not going to fund stuff already owned and made and has a bunch of sequels and spinoffs. I'm going to find and fund something new, something that the other people with money aren't taking a risk on.

Maybe Rogue System, if I am remembering the name right. It had a Kickstarter that failed to meet the minimum, but God damn it sounds like a bad ass idea. A space sim where you would have to actually re-route power through other systems when the normal link has been damage and basically all the stupid little jargon ideas they do to solve things in Star Trek would be mechanics in the game. If you wanted. It would have had settings for so much shit to make it as arcadey or as realistic as you wanted.

Ambitious as hell, but the developer had videos actually showing off some of the mechanics in action and it was as good as I imagined it could be and I'm still kinda upset that its Kickstarter failed.

Xenosaga remake incorporating the plots all the way through Xenogears and a sequel.

I'd make a My Summer Car movie.
(In case something like this already exists, let me know.)

Eternal Darkness sequel / remake on modern hardware & VR.

A Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurant that turns into an escape room after you eat.

Custom Robo as a Gatcha game. (This one prints money)

I would buy WOTC and gift it to Larian to make bg4
