What game would you make and why?

Quote from Vilham

Combine dungeon keeper with overlord (but with better combat).

Quote from Bunglo

So it's settled, Mapcore will make Mirror's Edge 2 without EA's permission. Let's do it!

Isn't Vivi already doing this?

insta is the new dick_r

Why don't people get that linking to 4chan DOES NOT WORK! How many times have we been through this now...

lol fail

A game about form posters training other forum posters in etiquette (net-iquette??)...sort of like a cross between Black&White and Tamagotchi, but in a persistent player-created world...

GTA set in London with a great deal of Snatch/Lock stock going on there. Grand Theft Lorry maybe.

:Edit:

No i got it!

GTA where you are a cop chasing bad guys working your way up from rookie to FBI or something like that. Would pwn. And ofcourse the person you are playing as should be just like John McClane. "GTA 5-0"

I'd love to make UFO1 remake with more cool stuff like medics and granade lunchers!

Exploration/horror game with a scandinavian foklore-theme. Set during the christianization of (fictionalized) scandinavia with the nature "revolting" against it (religion is not the theme, just the premise).

Environments like these: forest, shores, swamp, fog, river, landscape, moonlight, colorsm sunrise and more forest.

humanoids&creatures you would meet: draug, troll, nixie, huge troll, another one.

as for music, i find

incredibly well made and creative. it conveys the atmosphere perfectly.why: scandinavian nature (and the folklore) is oppressive, gloomy, harsh, dangerous and beautiful and I think these qualities would empower a exploration/horror-based game. there are also other themes in the folklore that translates well to this kind of gameplay, such as unconventional thinking and exploration.

i actually think that's a brilliant idea csyver. i can only think of one game that did scandinavian folklore and it owned. there would need to be more creatures than the ones you mentioned, but it could easily be pulled off, as there a pretty large pool of creature to take from.

i'm also kinda sad that there hasn't been anything about finnish folklore/mythology. vainamonen is one of the coolest mofos in mythology!

what game was this? presumed nobody had tried yet (at least not successfully).

I guess you can say that Wrath of the lich king had some influences from viking/nordic folklore, and then theres Too Human, that hack and slash game that took 11 years to create or something...

There was also that old viking game based on the unreal engine, where you beat people with a sword in third person. Can't remember the name though

Viking: Battle for Asgard?

I would love a next gen Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance. The first 2 were great coop experiences. Played it shit loads with my brother.

No, not Viking: Battle for Asgard, although that counts as well!

I found the game I meant, it was called Rune. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune_%28video_game%29

Rune is awesome the first hour (also MP was great), I want a GOOD sequel of that

Quote from 2d-chris

mass effect MMO

i deliberately didn't take viking history as i think it's too different from scandinavian folklore. the folklore deals with creatures and the supernatural (no offense to any internet trolls), whereas vikings were an actual part of history.

the game was dark age of camelot, the realm midgard and lore pretty damn accurate. it also portrayed good amounts of celtic mythology/folklore, which is very interesting.

and rune kicked ass, but that dwarven sword with the lightning power was so op, i remember going on rampages with it basically killing entire rooms of people by swinging the sword around in the air
