10 Games I Want to See Made in the Next 5 Years
Concerning games, there's a lot of ideas out there. Some are put into action sooner than others. And some are just so obvious, but never happen. Here are some of the ideas that haven't been put into action yet. At least, not to public knowledge.
10: PS3 Final Fantasy VII
Yeah, I went there.
Squenix will deny making it vehemently, but they know this would sell boatloads. Considering the PS3's falling further and further behind the Wii and 360, this would certainly undo a lot of damage. Only thing I ask, though, is that gameplay remain EXACTLY the same as it was back on the PS1. You can pretty up the graphics, fully voice the script, maybe a couple rewrites, an extra boss and/or dungeon, some new weapons. But touching the main gameplay will ruin it.
9: Mega Man Zero Collection
Ware wa messiah nari!
Forget about ZX for a little bit. I say MMZ should get one last hurrah in the form of a compilation. Include some artwork in there. Instead of the normal soundtrack, use the RTRZ tracks. Maybe put in some voice acting, too. Admittedly, that'd be a lot of data for a DS game. No one said it had to stay on a Nintendo portable, though.
8: Viewtiful Joe in a Devil May Cry
Henshin-a-Hell-Yeah!
We've already got Dante as a secret character in a couple Viewtiful Joe games. I think doing the opposite would be genius. Joe would blend in very well with the DMC style, and his VFX powers would take the place of the Devil Trigger. Half of me wants to see Joe in a more realistic style, but the other half wants to keep the short celshaded Joe in a real world setting. Needless to say I'm torn, but I'll take either option.
7: Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles 2
It looks that way
The first RE: UC was great, and I'd love to see another one. And a sequel should have the stuff that the first UC left out. Namely, RE2, RE4, and Code Veronica. Maybe include stuff from Degeneration as well, seeing as this would be the Leon and Claire version of UC.
6: Castlevania: The 1999 Game(s)
What is a man, anyway?
Ever since Aria of Sorrow was made, a large chapter in the Castlevania mythos had been implied. The so called Demon Castle Wars would mark the final battle between the Belmonts and Dracula. Seeing as how fun Julius was to play as in Aria (not so much in Dawn), having a fully powered version of that, with a longer whip I hope, would be great. And he should have partners, like in DoS Julius Mode. Alucard, a Belnades, perhaps a Danasty?
I put a (s) at the end of the title cause two games were rumored to be in development before Order of Eclessia came about. Dunno if that still holds, though.
5: Mega Man X9
Cliffhangers suck
X8 guarantees that there's more to the Mega Man X story not yet told. Then again, so did Legends 2 and ZX Advent. Well, I see X9 having the best chance of actually being made, and that's before I learned of the X9 fansite. Seriously Capcom, explain what the hell happened to Axl's head. Does Lumine use Axl like a parasite? Will Axl turn out to be the final boss? Pretty easy story to come up with, really. Use a combination of the gameplay of X8 and Maverick Hunter X, don't have the characters ultra skinny, find Mark Gatha, and everything else should fall into place. Just don't leave with promising more.
4: A New Mega Man Arcade Game
The Power _____
I love The Power Battle and The Power Fighters. I think they work really well for a quick arcade fighter. I would love to see another one. Have like three times as many Robot Masters. Have a couple new playable characters, like Roll. Not much else to be said.
3: Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal HD Remix
*insert Pokemon Johto theme here*
Just like how Red and Blue were remade into Firered and Leafgreen, I think the 2nd generation Pokemon games should get a remake as well for its 10th anniversary. Only thing, though, is to cram it all into one game on the Wii. It's time mainstream Pokemon got out of chibi sprites and adopted a look more akin to Colloseum and X D. True Pokemon gameplay I think would be great in 3D. Include many features introduced in RSE and DPP. Use Wifi Connection and maybe Wii Speak, trade with Wii users and DS users. Use the DS as a controller and an extra HUD. Include some voice acting for the story mode as well. They could add stuff, but really, GSC has so much on its own, there's no need.
2: A New 2D Metroid
Samus' good side
Really, do I have to say anything else? We haven't seen a 2D Metroid since Zero Mission. I don't care what it is, another remake, something after Fusion, an interquel, just make something Nintendo.
1: Castlevania 3 Chronicles
That moss I see growing on ya?
You know IGA wants to do it. And I want him to do it just as much as I want the cartoon adaptation to come out as well (I smell a marketing scheme). Take Castlevania 3, or rather Akumajou Densetsu because that's the superior version, and give it the same treatment Rondo of Blood got. New graphics, updated character designs, new remixes, a Boss Rush, and include the original (again, AD > CVIII) as a bonus.
But also, there are some changes that could be made. First, Trevor should be able to keep all three partners with him and be able to switch freely between them. Second, stages that share bosses with other stages (looking at you Cyclops) should get new bosses. Third, Alucard's fireballs should be turned into a subweapon, and his main weapon should be the Alucard Sword. Finally, the other three characters could use a new ability or two. For example, Trevor should be able to Item Crash, and Sypha could get a double jump.
