Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?

God of War based on Indian mythological characters like Pashuram or maybe Shiva.

I think the one I was interested in when I was younger, when MMO's were the rage, was to make a sort of MMO / dynamic war (probably heavily borrowed from ww2 online). So something like a combined arms warfare sim, on a persistent map.

The angle I had to it though, was the world was at peace for a thousand years. So no nation needed any armies or military, but are now suddenly thrust into a conflict. So the nations need to mature rapidly from basically a policy force, to a fully fledged military, integrating new warfare advances as they occur. With new advances and countermeasures coming out from each side as the game progresses throwing the state of affairs off balance. And then get's reset every couple of months or something.

Planetside 3

Serum is an FPS RPG game focusing on survival and PvP. Players compete against each other gathering Serum and Relics.

The planet Cronus contains the most valuable and energy dense fuel humanity has ever discovered, Serum. The controlling federation has prohibited unauthorized mining. With the recent discovery of inter-dimensional travel those restrictions have become impossible to enforce. Individuals and factions have begun jumping between universes to simultaneously reap what remains of Cronus.

You are a reaper of Cronus. You command a ship along with a regenerative droid that you control from orbit. The droid is deployed from your ship onto Cronus. The mission is to extract as much Serum from the species of Cronus.

You are not alone. Others have again started reaping Cronus. Although split across multiple universes, chances are you will come in contact with another reaper. Be wary, the Serum you collect can be extracted from your droid. Trust noone.

The technology that powers your droid is also fueled by Serum. To prolong your harvest make sure to keep enough Serum in reserves to power your droid. If your droid dies or runs out of Serum a new one will be created and dropped back onto Cronus.

I can't believe no one mentioned It Takes Two.

The world is much different - but it has A LOT of the game play you're asking for.

Additionally, I found it to be one of the most enjoyable games I've played in... maybe ever?
