A sequel to Goldeneye by the same team.
Perfect dark just wasn't as good and it wasn't James Bond!
Yes timesplitters was close but not quite!

#442Kingdom hearts 3 without the rest of the junk they included.... essentially what it was supposed to be a la 2006.
Re: Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
#443A single player rpg where I wasn't the most important/powerful person in the world. Something with NPCs interacting with each other and affecting the in-game world entirely independent of my actions. NPCs could collaborate with me or compete with me depending on their goals.

#444I'd like to see more games that reward altruism. A mechanic that might achieve this is a game in which the player who wins is the one who's closest to median number of points between all players at the end.

#445Maybe a boring answer, but free software versions of games I enjoyed in the past are mostly what I want.
Graal Online, Maplestory, Terraria, Starbound, Minecraft (there are a few clones already), Rust, CS:GO, Super Smash Bros, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Rockman.exe, maybe something like Prototype or Ultimate Spider-Man with fun physics so you can swing around and do whatever.
A free recreation of Graal Online would be especially cool as the content was all player-made with the available development tools. They just let the PC version of the game wither and die. If someone just made a solid base, a community could form to make the actual stuff to do. I've heard people compare Graal to BYOND/SS13, although I never experienced those. There's SS14 now, but it seems pretty focused on... space station stuff. I don't know that it's similar enough to Graal for me.

#446Myths & Legends MMORPG
A replica of our planet, where you can play as either a hero or creature from ancient mythology. Your choice is limited by your location, so you can learn about the stories of cultures that previously inhabited your location.
Who or what you are affects the world around you, and players could join to expand their 'nation' into other countries, giving birth to new mythological creatures and heros based on how the cultures mix.
A giant but fun mythology lesson, effectively!

#447One of my favorite games is Lords of the Realm II (1996). It's a medieval 4X game with turn-based county management and real time battles. I've always wanted a game on that framework, but with way more complex management, and battles where you can zoom in to play a single soldier, or zoom out to play tactics.

#448A grindy 2D platform MMO like Maple Story, but set in the world and with the art of Ori and the Blind Forest.

#449I want an ethic around team-based multiplayer games.
Games like League of Legends, Overwatch, DotA, etc. are amazing in terms of their strategic depth, variety, and power fantasy. However, the culture around them consistently gets to a narrow-minded, unfun state. What's needed is something like the ideal of "sportsmanship" in real-life sports.
Re: Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
#450A true "MMORPG". Back in the day when the genre was new, people were fascinated by the potential of virtual worlds and virtual societies. Social scientists did online studies on player behavior and the interactions people had online, on spontaneous self-governance coming into existence, on how communities formed and developed, and many other similar topics. That potential was never fulfilled. Today - some twenty year…
So the largest public server (white tiger) for the game eco https://play.eco/ might scratch that itch.
