Ask Lemmy

I'd make Eragon as a series, but actually good this time. I like the universe.

Ann McCaffrey's Pern series. Teleporting time traveling retro futuristic dragons.

Probably followed by either Footfall, invading octopus elephants, or Ringworld. Which is Halo with 2 headed 3 legged 1 hoof snakes.

GNU Theft Auto

VR Black and White.

KSP rewrite from scratch with a custom engine.

Super stoked about KSA :)

An open world TMNT game based on the original 90’s movie. It was dark and gritty and the perfect playground to fight the foot from the shadows.

KSP 2.
It was mismanaged, underfunded, and understaffed.

I'd scrap the mess they have now, hire an appropriate number of people to work on the game, and give them as much time as they need to get it right.

Um, I'm gonna reveal my age here and say that it's a crime the old Dragonlance fantasy series was never made into a movie. It's perfect.

I still am not over 1899 getting canned. I wanted to see where that went so bad

Edit: remake of bungie’s Myth series, not by current day Bungie though

Film series of The Black Company, or the Darkstar Trilogy

Farscape.

Modern visuals, Muppets, a team of good writers and the core cast returning could be really good. Black and Browder wouldn't be too old yet to make the characters work.

That chaotic universe could provide so many posibilities to explore if done right.

• Wicked: I did a storyboard for this in college. I absolutely think this should have been an animated movie. And not 3D. Not because it's bad, but I always envisioned the world to be more magical. And I think the animation opportunities would be AMAZING.
• Cats: Also should have been animated, and most of the cast was not picked for their singing ability. I think this could work in either 3D or 2D.
• Fatal Frame: I would love them to get the SH2 treatment. Same story but a bit more polished? And maybe a few glance features? Gosh, I'd be so fucking hype.
• The Hunger Games: Should have been a miniseries in my opinion. It was too much for a movie if you hadn't read the book. So much is internal, but you don't have the time to really infer that because of how fast they have to move.
• Les Miserables Just... You know, maybe give it a second pass...
• Rose of Versailles: I just want a nice remake, but, in late 80's/early 90's anime style. Not too big of a jump from the original style, but I think it would look nice.
• Elizabeth Freeman: When Hamilton came out (which I enjoyed immensely) I was like, "Huh. Rapping slave masters is neat, but any other stories for POC?" I then found out about Ms. Freeman, a woman I had literally never heard of. She sued for her own freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation and fucking won. Give me some songs about that shit. I already knew about the Founding Fathers and their greatness." As catchy as it is, maybe we could have spoken about someone else?
• Erased: Minor nitpick that always bothered me. When you first time see the villain (before you realize they're the villain) they're shown in half shadow. I was like," wouldn't that be funny if that was villain? But they wouldn't be that obvious." i spent the whole show trying to figure out who it was, but it was them. I wish I could have gotten rid of that one frame.
• PTSD Radio: I could see it working like Yami Shibai. I think it would be neat!
• Kuon: Remake, please and then you.

Uniracers 2

I’d fund some dream MMO. Those things are bottomless money pits.

Shows that need more seasons... The Expanse, Outer Range, Avenue 5.

I want a The Magicians video game, or movie, or another show set in the same universe.

Spore remaster

Give Mortal Engines another go

Ski free 2.

This time, on water.

AAA Yoko Taro's game.

I think I'd just go with a lot of the obvious game choice adaptations - the big issues with anything done now are making something mainstream and having writers/directors not interested in the source material. If there's no money involved and they can just be passion projects then some abject failures can be revisited.

I'd love to see an Assassins Creed series properly adapted. A Prey movie. Cyberpunk 2077 series, Metro - hell even a completely batshit Atomic Heart movie. Just things which are gritty when they're gritty, and a lot of fun when they're supposed to be stupid, but faithful to the source is what's important as that's what the fans want to see.

Yes

I'd love a 3D arcade rail shooter where you're playing as a biblically accurate angel shooting down demons over cities and other landscapes. I'm already over the main obstacle which is knowing how to program, it's just finding the time...

A more surrealist mashup of the SCP Universe, Alan Wake and Control. Im in love with those.

Fix up The Hobbit into 2 movies, with more practical effects, or at least more subtle cgi.

OP didn't ask about music, but I feel like that fits the spirit of the question, so: my absolute favorite genre is Symphonic Metal, but that genre consists of a grand total of like 12 songs, most of which lean way too heavily on screamo howler monkey shit or opera.

If I could magically fund a symphony and get em to just rock out with a bunch of metalheads, 100% that.

Snowcrash (book) would lend itself to a pretty fun open world game.

There's a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I'd like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.

I'll do a reboot of Travelers

Coolest time-travel concept ever, it's a shame it got cancelled because of capitalism 😓

Make all the stubborn open world games such as fallout and dark souls have a full featured online + split screen co-op experience.

Fire Emblem Three Houses as an anime with several 'filler' episodes with support conversations or new interactions between characters, really show what living through part 1 is like, 4 separate series for each route idk

More sense8. I enjoyed it but I fear it was too queer for genpop.

There's an FPS game called Darkest of Days I remember kinda liking, where you're a time-travelling soldier who's trying to put history on the right path.

But basically all of the game's levels are centered around WW1 and the American civil war. If I had the means, I'd remake this game from the ground up, give it a more varied story that does the concept justice.

Recreate Vagrant Story.

The focus would be on graphics and implementing a fast way of changing weapons and armor.

I'd fund several of my favourite smut stories with a plot (some of them do!) as NC-17 movies or series.

And just because someone will be curious: Daemon & Sunny, Eudeamon, knock knock, Once it gets dark.

Movie series based on a DND world of ours
