You'd think that Steam is printing Valve enough money by now that they can just work on whatever leisure project they want. L4D 3 or Ricochet 2 or something. Be like Richard Branson and Spaceship 1.

I imagine that's what they're doing with HL3, spending years and years working on it to get it juuust perfect because they can afford to not actually release a game any time soon. Either it's going to be so awesome that it changes the face of gaming forever, or it's going to be overhyped and under-developed shite like Duke Nukem Forever.

This one relies on having a graphical interface and probably needs a voxel graphics engine with 2005Spore-like body physics.

You play a person in a freshly post-apocalyptic scenario of undetermined origin where horrible mutants are roaming the streets. You are horrible underpowered and your only way to grow stronger is to feast on the flesh of the deceased mutants, to gain mutations yourself. Random parts of the corpses you eat are made parts of your body. I imagine the graphical style along the lines of Kiss Psycho Circus (but of course more varied, due to procedural generation and stuff):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The whole thing is turn-based. You can plan out your moves as far as you want, but are prompted in intervals (length depending on your stats) to correct them. The surroundings aren't rendered correctly but with random noise thrown in – distortion, omission, addition of stuff that isn't there – depending on how sane you still are (eating the corpses of mutants probably isn't that good for your sanity) and how much is going on around you (when five tentacle fiends are swarming all around you it might be a bit hard to notice what might be going on otherwise). Maybe throw in some bloodlust, causing automatic attacks on passing, which may draw aggression.
It's everyone against everyone. There should be a way to use that to your advantage, as long as you're not so insane as to make yourself autmoatically the target of everything in sight.
I imagine the surroundings being procedurally generated, with different environments like the inner city, with skyscrapers and everything, rural areas, the woods, corn fields, mine shafts, whatever.

Speaking of Spore, have there been any papers written about the technology behind it or something? I'm really curious about how it procedurally generates animations for effectively infinite body types, where you can do crazy things like place limbs on top of the head, with smaller legs protruding out of the eyes and arms coming out of the first pair of legs' knees.

I don't think the animations really change that much in Spore depending on what creature you make. I mean, the bones of the leg may get stretched but it's the same base animation being used. If you create a horse-like creature the legs won't move like a horses, they move the same as if it had only two legs.
Arms, from what I remember, have an animation where they move towards the object to grab and latch onto it, even if they're facing the other way, like a magnet, then return to their base position.

I'd like a mad max game or with a similar setting, In which you are merely a normal person thrown into the deep end. Semi realistic food, water and temperature. Custom cars and guns with very rare ammo. Massive factions and small groups. Characters that you actually grow attached to and death can happen anytime, anywhere.

I want to feel like it's really a difficult choice on whether I use my last bullets to try snipe the raiders and steal their stuff or if I should just run away. Then if I should kill the stranger Who accidentally wandered into my base because they might alert others or if I should befriend them and get an ally. Not only that though, I want it to truly feel like murder if you kill them.

I just thought this up while looking at the new mad max game and thinking how he could beat up like 20 people no problem.

I think Cataclysm:DDA will do most of the non-directly-people-related things you want. Not so much the factions and befriending choices, though.

Yeah but I would also like to be immersed in the game. It's hard to be immersed with a flashing 2d symbol on the screen.

This is a matter that varies a great deal between individuals, would you care to elaborate on what does or doesn't work? Perhaps you can get by on something sporadic, such as cutscenes between stylised images, such as is seen in things like Command and Conquer? Or in the extreme, Dwarf Fortress, with its low-res dwarf in the intro and representational portrayals thereafter.
Then you have different styles. There are super-heroes with their emphasis of gender traits. Or anime with the exaggeration of expressive features. The again there have been some amazing things done with legitimate stick-figures...

Eh, I can understand that. Sometimes I love roguelikes and sometimes I'd rather have less detail but prettier graphics.

Remake of Wh40k Chaos Gate, possibly with ability to play other races too (and endless mode?). Also multiplayer. I would even accept if it had active pause system of the new Jagged Alliances.

I want a game that copies DF Adventure Mode's combat to a T, but in a more generic roguelike dungeon setting. Half the time I don't even create an adventurer in DF anymore, I just play in the Arena.

I think their leisure project is to make money just for the sake of making money
