A game where you run a realistic organised crime group. No romanticised noire stuff. In a modern-day city, trying to make money doing various illegal activities, then doing as you please with it. Possibly with a variety of settings to play your campaign in (e.g. Industrial city, large commercial services-based city, squatter settlement, etc). I think it could be pretty good, as long as it doesn't get people ranting at it because moral reasons. Which it inevitably would.

A wild Garren has appeared!  Garren uses DEMACIA! (I haven't played League in years now, so I'm not even sure if that's his name anymore.)

Spoiler: OT (click to show/hide)

A remake of Jet Set Radio for Xbox 360/Playstation 3.  I know that steam has it, but it's not the same as being able to play on a HUGE TV screen or with a controller.

I actually had an idea for something like that a while ago, but instead of modern day it would be more Prohibition era. Like, you'd have to maintain speakeasies and whatnot.

Another game I'd like to see is a huge open world party based RPG, but with larger parties than most games, and rather than having a set number of characters, you could recruit unique people from almost any race in the game (Which would be quite a bit). In addition, the amount of progression for each individual unit would be very large, with a huge amount of classes which progress in a sort of outwards branching path. For example, suppose you recruit an untrained dwarf. His class would be Rookie. Upon a certain number of level ups, he could become a new class, based on his equipment, and his skills, which would improve with use. So if he was skilled with unarmed, quarterstaffs, or divine magic(which would essentially be a skill for praying), he could become a monk. Then, if he focused more on weapons, he could become a guardian, or if he focused more on divine magic, he would become a cleric. And so on and so forth.

Both races and classes would consist of a mix of more traditional options, such as paladins, dwarves and orcs, and partially or completely new options, such as deeplings, which would be blind relatives of dwarves who at some point became shunned the surface and became physically frail, or maybe a class such as a crusader, which would be similar to a paladin, but the benefits from divine magic is more offensively focused.

Plug TV into computer using HDMI cables available (or other methods depending on TV)
Use Joy-to-key (If it doesn't already have controller support)

you can use the [nobbc][/nobbc] tags. I do that with numbered lists where I don't want the sunglasses smiley to replace number 8.

All my favourite PC games on my new android tablet. Mainly df and urw.

Something halfway between an RPG and the sims, that isn't solely focused on fighting monsters but doesn't have silly abstractions like carrying tons of rock blocks on your backpack that you can plop down and build a castle for yourself with. Ideally it has something resembling a plot and has meaningfull interactions with NPCs, and has multiplayer but isn't a persistent world mmo
Bonus points for being set on the pre-history or early bronze age

I'm actually planning on making such a game based on my pixel tribe adventures forum game, and it, among other things has led me to enroll on a computer engineering university course. I'm studying high school maths for the admission exams. I didn't have math in high school, and I haven't studied maths in over 10 years...

An RPG not based on European culture. I want to fight a Chinese lóng, not an European dragon, or Quetzalcoatl or something.
There's so much potential in world cultures for so many games and yet we seem to be strictly limiting ourselves to European (at best Middle Eastern)-esque fantasy.

And for that matter, a game based on Slavic folklore. Stuff like fern flowers, vilas, vodyanoys etc.

Slavic is still fairly European.

A full-on Middle-Eastern fantasy would be kind of cool, because Arabic mythology provides a couple non-human races that would be easily playable (Ifrits, for one). The Pacific Northwest and the Black Hills have mythologies and lifestyles that would make for an interesting game, too.

Pacific Northwest was what I was gonna mention too!

'Course, you have to be real careful with any Native American mythology, because, more than any other, you will get people (who are very rarely Native Americans, natch) who bitch about minor mistakes as being irredeemably disrespectful, and even if you get it all right there's still the cries of "culchurral uhpprohpriashun".

Re: Slavic mythology, the modern stuff isn't super interesting (still interesting, but hard to base a whole game on). The weird pre-Christian stuff is pretty good, though. And since no one believes in pre-Christian Slavic religions anymore, there's no one to offend!

Heh, you are wrong. I know quite a lot of guys who call themselves neopagans and worship Perun and others


Speaking about mythology related game. I would love a game based on Greek or Nordic mythology where you play as a god and participate in all that intrigues among the gods

Actually, a game properly based on propper European mythology that isn't full of inconsistencies and cheap knock offs of dnd's artistic liberties would be an innovation. You would be surprised what ''goblin'' or ''troll'' meant a couple hundred years ago. Cheap fantasy has been adopting meso-american, asian and Hindu flavours for some time now, too...
