Ask Lemmy

Ski free 2.

This time, on water.

Spore remaster

Give Mortal Engines another go

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.

AAA Yoko Taro's game.

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

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.

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

Yes

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'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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Movie series based on a DND world of ours

Recreate Vagrant Story.

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

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.

A next generation open source ww2/propeller combat flight sim from the community by the community. Sims (of any type) are a captive market so they are barely what they could be in this day and age. Open source sim and libraries could help in "pulling a Blender" with a next gen engine like Bevy engine.

Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.

A full remake of the classic games, and then the actual last game that they never finished.

Baten Kaitos 3.

It's a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-"deck building" turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn't have as much budget.

A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team's current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

Revive Pushing Daisies. That show ended too soon.

Mike Flanagan was at one point signed up with Netflix to do a TV series adaptation of the Something is Killing the Children comics. It fell through. I want to see that series happen, very free reign to Flanagan with just a little bit of reeling in his long monologues.

• The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman would be top choice.

• An extremely close second would be a mini-series based on the novel Imajica by Clive Barker (second only because I don't think anything would be able to truly do that book justice on screen so I'd be hesitant to even try.)

• A longer miniseries of L.A. Confidential that tells the whole story of the novel rather than having to chop and streamline it for a movie runtime. I love the movie and I think how they chose to cut and edit the story down is actually really brilliant, but I'd be interested in seeing the whole thing play out in a mini-series.

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.

I would fund anything dune related as long is it was written or approved by Frank Herbert. For one I’m sad the movies will stop with book two. Also, the games that came out and are coming out look very boring to me. A game somewhere between Skyrim and assassins creed might be more fun. I’m not a game designer though. I would want it to capture the intense 1 on 1 fights as well as the massive intergalactic political action.

I’d love a word-for-word film adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And if I can’t get a film, I’ll take a solid MMO made of it by the same people that made Dark Age of Camelot.
