A game with actual fun super speed.  Maybe with a cinematic mode, first you'd do normal actions in a slow mo world, and then cinematic cam would kick in, showing how you're moving from the perspective of normal people.

This makes me think about this really short FPS where time only passed when you moved.
The name was in two parts, with one in caps. Something like "SUPER fight" or something...

SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT!

[Neyvn]

An XCOM clone where you control a company/organization that cleans up worlds after various apocalypses such as nuclear bombings, demon invasions, meteor strikes, nanomachines, etc. and each apocalypse presents its own threats.

Clean up as in making it safe for its old inhabitants, or killing them off for someone else to take over?

or possibly just literally clearing away rubble and bodies

How about something a little less in scale but still demanding for you to save lives...

I suppose kill cams in Sniper Elite kind of do this.

VATS in Fallout and Transistor's Turn() system too.

A game about Flash, where you can trigger a sort of "bullet time", except instead of shooting people, you grab ropes and run around bad guys, lower their pants or whatever and in some cases punch them. Or even grab their bullets before they hit people.

There would be some timed puzzles like, catch the girl before she falls into the molten iron crucible, while stopping the launch of a nuclear missile and then... uh, I think you get the idea...

A game where you play a rank and file soldier, with the battles not being scripted, and you not really capable of swinging them. You're just trying to survive another day, and you don't even know that your side will win. Maybe they don't.

There'll have to be either score bonuses for kills or for valor and/or else score loss or other penalties for cowardice or else the optimal solution to the game will be to run and hide during all the battles.

Operation Flashpoint (The original, not the sequel) and the ARMA series is kind of like that. There's this particular feeling of helplessness that I get knowing that even if I'm a hero it will do crap because the operation itself is FUBAR.
The thing I like about ARMA/Operation Flashpoint is that there's helicopters/tanks/machine gunners/whatever... And you don't get a rocket launcher to deal with them. Sure, you can find it off some soldiers you kill, but if you don't find any there won't be one conveniently lying around. You'll just have to crawl in the dirt and hope to God that helicopter decides killing you isn't worth it's time.

ARMA 3 in particular is the only game where I've felt angry about getting squadmates to boss about because I felt I was terribly underqualified. I have the lives of six men on the line when I've only gotten to this point through sheer luck and savescumming. Oh well. Welcome to modern war.

Super Time Force sorta does this. Once you complete a level, after doing all the rewinding and slo-mo and stuff, you get treated to a replay done in real time, from the perspective of a bystander.

[EnigmaticHat]

ARMA 3 made me angry because if any of your squadmates die, you lose.

Not the best arrangement considering they lack basic self preservation skills.

They don't?
Do you mean the other two ARMAs? I've never had that situation.

[EnigmaticHat]

Do you mean you don't lose if they die or they have basic self preservation skills?

Because I've had a squadate get run over by a tank.  An allied tank.

I'd play this. I'm so tired of rambo FPS games where a single man can take out 50 or 60 hostiles and capture a position all on their own, while saving the girl.

Take RO2's bleedout system, add a hefy dose of OHKs, limited ammo, jamming weapons, choking darkness, dirt sprays from artillery, ARTILLERY, and a variety of missions to either storm an enemy position or hold your own at all costs. Yeah, I'd totally play a FPS where survival is an actual goal, instead of a side effect of regenerating health and stupid enemy AI.
