I feel like Metropolis would make for a pretty good adventure game of some description. Probably of an older point-and-click style rather than a newfangled first-person one, since a lot of scenes would lose their effect if the player just didn't happen to be looking when the cool stuff happened.

WW2 Dynasty Warriors

Opening a portal to a new realm takes an assortment of mana and glyps which specify the sort of world you end up in. These worlds, in turn, are sources of new glyphs and new conditions of mana.

Basically the Mystcraft mod for minecraft (with the addition of mana).

The theme is magi-tech, rather than straight high fantasy. Opening a gate is a magical working, built on understandable principles. You don't just cast fireball, you actually combine the glyphs into a spell using a kind of programming language and imbue it with fire mana from your personal reserve.

This is scarily similar to the system I came up with for ArcTech (a setting/set of mechanics I'm working on for basing games off of). Half way through designing it, I realised that scroll writing is essentially equivalent to writing assembly code, which is just as arcane, really.

Ooo!  When/where?

I'm not exactly sure yet, but I just KNOW it revolves around the mustache...

I elect not to pursue Stalin.

A game where you play a robot or advanced AI with ultrafast perception and reaction time, specifically one that models ultra-high speed events. At high speeds, the speed of sound becomes a noticeable delay. Florescent lights actually strobe. Your own personal acceleration is irrelevant.

Don't say Super Hot. Super Hot is an arcade game. I want a puzzle game where you have to use all of your highly limited time.

I want a first-person multiplayer shmup game. The bullets aren't necessarily slow-moving, but they're not instant raycasts like most games either, so they can conceivably be dodged after they're fired. This game will of course involve flying and/or high jumps, time slowing/speeding moves, and other things that generally happen in shmups but not in FPS games.

A roguelike crossed with a deck builder board game.  You have a deck of cards representing the items/special abilities your average roguelike character has, which you can draw into you hand and play.  Each floor your discard pile and hand get shuffled into your deck.

Instead of looting items you get new cards.  Every card has two effects, one when you play it and a more powerful one that removes it from your deck permanently.  By deciding which cards to add to your deck and which ones to expend, you shape your deck over time.

How about an RTS where you're an AI controlling robotic troops, and you can control how quickly time appears to move for you. When you speed up time, you get more spare cycles, which can be spent to give robots perfect accuracy or whatever.

I could live with a game, 40 years in the future - your our time-slowing AI and your job is to help... someone - maybe the police, maybe the mafia, maybe some other party - free choice dude, your a rogue ai afterall. So if you help the cops, you get a scenario where a fella tries to run away - do you attempt to hack his car, turn on his blinker, squirt coffee from his inbound coffee maschine - or do you mess with traffic lights and bridge control computers or hack another car and turn it into him and disable his airbags, because he knows to much? You got time, things move slowly and act slower - but until you grow, you can only have a certain amount of processes at a time and can unlock new access/code/understanding/tools/smartness.

Like Watchdogs, but far more details, less ubisoft bullshit. Shadowrun super AI style?
