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 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.

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

I want several parts of several games merged together. I want DF's level of complexity, set in space, with parts of Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, and a more comprehensive system of adjusting power to systems. Like I want to be in a big battle and if I get damaged on the right side, I have to actually route power through undamaged systems in a more complex way than just "weapons, shields, engines" with no regard to the power conduits in your ship that may or may not exist after a big hole's been blasted in ya.

I want to capture the essence of the random shit the crew says in a fight in Star Trek, without it just being a simple flip of a switch. I want "fake science" that I can perform... Like sending various forms of energy through the deflector dish to do stuff. I can't even really describe it because it's one of those things that really isn't even possible with a modern video game. It would require dynamics that I don't think you can code with traditional systems; it would need quantum computing or some kind of AI to create new elements of the game on the fly.

I always wait for a game where you manage a remote Starbase and the main part is to put together Spaceships out of parts made by yourself or salvaged from fights. So you repair and build them out of a limited amount of parts and assign them to your pilots, give them patrols or mining missions etc.

A hybrid of dagger fall and Minecraft. Open procedural generated world rpg with npcs that give quests but a semi hand designed main quest. Crafting with loot found in dungeons to either kit out my character or sell for profit. Sell me a plot of land in town I can build on or a house I can modify. With real rpg mechanics

Welp, I tried to find the video for like an hour with no luck. But I think it was made by the Rocket Jump guys at some point. It was a live action video of a video game like fps where there are two teams. One person spawns on each team and goes on to the map, trade gun fire until one dies then time resets and another person spawns on each side, BUT the other player still does what they did last round, runs out and trades gun fire. But the newly spawned guy kills the enemy that shot tge first spawn guy before that happens. Breaking the first spawn guy out of his preset loop, and they are now coordinating.

Very cool concept. If anyone knows the video please help me find it. Told a friend about it yesterday. Must have been filmed at least 8 years ago now.

There's a singleplayer game with a similar concept, Time Rifters

[–] Didros@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

I think that might be a Corridor video?
