I have a few ideas that I will almost certainly never develop. If someone wants to use them, please do. These are games I wish existed. Here they are: The first one is a game where you play as Mormons, and the goal of the game is to be nice to people no matter the cost. It would start out with fairly easy things, but then you come across increasingly hostile or dangerous circumstances where you have to choose between…

The first one reminds me of people playing GTA just for ambulance missions.

1 - High quality RTS (think Warcraft 3, SC2, C&C, Dune 2) but with the ability to have maybe 100 - 200 people playing. 2 - Updated subspace - it was the level of competition and community that made that game amazing in the 90s. 3 - Civilization like civ 1 but updated with newer graphics/tech tree also the ability to be much more complex but only if you want to. Best part of the game imho was the exploration, simple b…

You can get a bit of mileage out of Fortnite by landing in less popular areas and building up your inventory as you slowly work towards the eventual late-game circle. Hide in a house or bush if you have to. Crouch a lot and get the jump on others to improve your chances.

I'm 40+ and play Fortnite with my son, and while I worry his gaming exposure is very heavily weighted to one game with minimal story, we have a great time working as a team and talking about strategies to maximise our chances. He's 9yo and a very strong player. I don't find reflexes to be that much of a problem, but I'm not sure how old you mean by "older"!

I'd love to see RockStar do a GTA/RDR-type game set in a warzone. I always pictured the Balkans but it could be something more current like Ukraine. One key would be that messing with any actual military would be absolutely deadly/futile, so the game's focus would be on the stories of decisions and survival in the backstreets, running messages, finding food/fuel, relocating family, etc.

(This thread makes me realise just how many games already exist and that I've never heard of.)

A "One City Block Stealth Action RPG" like the one described by Warren Spector but with a big emphasis on the stealth aspect.

Basically Die Hard X Splinter Cell Set in one highly simulated skyscraper where you approach the game how you wish with fighting mechanics like Sleeping Dogs (environment interaction) and immersive sim possibilities

I always wanted some kind of game that was kind of like minecraft tekkit (modpack that allows you to use technology to make futuristic things) meets FPS and also MMORPG. I imagine it would be a game where you would have to find resources to build things, but also have to defend yourself from other players and build bases. In the game there would be multiple nations / teams who would be at war with each other, and there would be a map of the game that would be divided into sections. Each section would have different resources, and players would have to travel to different sections to find the resources they need. The game would be extremely open world and there would be no set objectives, so players could do whatever they wanted. There would be diplomacy between the different nations, base building and resource collection, first person shooters and strategic missions as well as an in game economy.

Die Hard X Splinter Cell But taking place in a highly simulated skyscraper

Pretty much an immersive sim similar to the "One City Block Action RPG" described by Warren Spector But with a big emphasis on the stealth aspect, and fighting mechanics like Sleeping Dogs (environment interaction)

Where you approach the game, an hostage situation for exemple, how you wish
