Ask Lemmy

I'd say the Hyperion Cantos. But even with infinite money and an Oscar, even Bradley Cooper can't get that shit made.

Ringworld and its sequels The Ringworld Engineers, Ringworld's Children, and the Ringworld Throne, with some less-dated attitudes. I mean I'm not totally opposed to rishathra as a concept, but just a few tweaks here and there to catch up with modern attitudes.

If money really wasn't an issue, the entire "Known Space" series. A chance for some really good CGI with Pierson's Puppeteers, Kzin, and all the specialised post-human races living on the Ringworld. And Thrint, Slavers, Outsiders, and so on.

Then there's the first-contact "The Mote in God's Eye" and its sequel "The Mote in Murchison's Eye" AKA "The Gripping Hand". Another opportunity for some interesting three-armed CGI aliens.

Oh, and "Footfall" - an alien invasion story. These aliens look somewhat like baby elephants 😲

movie: any muppet movie

series: zefrank's true facts, numberphile, myths and legends podcast

video game: so far larian studios, but there's a lot of small pubs and indie devs that are great as well

Kaos season 2 to infinity

Deus Ex and cyberpunk.

Let them keep making games and slap as many wild dystopian conspiracy theories into it as possible. Both enhancing and sabotaging the general populous in it and watch the threads unravel and unite. Also would be curious to see how much of it ends up being true at the end of the day.

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

Neuromancer, with out updating it for technology. I want that phone bank scene.

I would buy WOTC and gift it to Larian to make bg4

Metal Gear Cobra: The Joy

The story of how the unit came to be Heroes in WWII, and especially the Normandy event for them. I want to see The Joy's story earlier. Potentially allow replaying as each member of the team.

A sequel could be training Snake amd doing missions with him in the 50's, ending with the flight to space.

Alternatively, tell the story of Raiden saving Sunny.

I'd make a My Summer Car movie.
(In case something like this already exists, let me know.)

I'm sure there is, but they're unknown to me. I'm not going to fund stuff already owned and made and has a bunch of sequels and spinoffs. I'm going to find and fund something new, something that the other people with money aren't taking a risk on.

Maybe Rogue System, if I am remembering the name right. It had a Kickstarter that failed to meet the minimum, but God damn it sounds like a bad ass idea. A space sim where you would have to actually re-route power through other systems when the normal link has been damage and basically all the stupid little jargon ideas they do to solve things in Star Trek would be mechanics in the game. If you wanted. It would have had settings for so much shit to make it as arcadey or as realistic as you wanted.

Ambitious as hell, but the developer had videos actually showing off some of the mechanics in action and it was as good as I imagined it could be and I'm still kinda upset that its Kickstarter failed.

Immortal gates of pyre.

a bunch of the best starcraft II modders got together and made a spiritual successor to sc2 with books upon books of lore, entire functioning languages, an incredible UX, the best rts gameplay i've ever experienced, and all they need is fucking funding. ugh.

need another bioshock sequel another sleeping dogs sequel splinter cell sequel

and remake game like 'tacticool' on android, the game has so many potential.. butthe microtransaction is predatory

Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.

I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.

Xenosaga remake incorporating the plots all the way through Xenogears and a sequel.

Ecco the dolphin mania

I would like to make a movie where I talk to my friends and we hang out and cook and eat and maybe do some fun and nice things in the community, like talking to people we don't know and getting them to join us. I don't really care how the movie turns out though, it just sounds fun to make.

the people who made arcane would get all my money and as much time as they need to make more league shows.

A solid next Gen remake of Rocket Jockey and Road Rash

Definitely Scavengers Reign season 2. That show is so unique and refreshing.

Call of Duty type game. Remove sliding, tac sprint, bunny hopping, EOMM, and microtransactions to bring back a true casual fps game.

Game: Prince of Persia Half Life 3 😂 Dune RTS
