I recent watched The Secret World of Arrietty (if you haven't seen it yet, you really should) and I couldn't help but imagine how amazing it would be to explore such a world in a video game.

First of all, the thought of exploring any world from a much smaller perspective is very appealing to me. Things we take for granted/look over can become your greatest danger or your greatest help for survival. I also believe some amazing platforming opportunities can be brought to light, from exploring a yard or making your way through a house. Enemies could range from bugs, birds, cats, humans, and the fight for survival in general. Mostly I imagine a combination of Deadly Creatures and Shadow of the Colossus with major JRPG/Platforming elements, and it brings a huge grin to my face.

What other worlds would make a great setting for a video game?

You could probably say that of ANY Studio Ghibli film.

 

[Spawnling]

Pokemon as an MMORPG. It's been said before.

 

[thekonamicode]

Easy.

I second this. Even though we've been begging for it for years. I doubt it will ever happen.

Studio Ghibli needs to make a Zelda movie.

ANYWAY. I would say the Chronicles of Prydain, perhaps best known through the Black Cauldron. That stuff was flipping awesome when I was a kid. And no one could complain that Taran doesn't grow as a character!

It'll happen eventually but it'll probably be a really half-assed social game as opposed to what most people actually want.

 

[sn00zer]

So so much potential...open world action RPG....give me KH gameplay in Fallout open world

 

[GodfatherX]

Firefly/Serenity..perfect genre would be a loot fps/rpg a la Borderlands. Make it happen Gearbox

 

[Incendiary]

Sucker Punch was a cheesy action movie but turning it into a video game would be so easy, the game would write itself.

Also want a Wheel of Time game but supposedly that's coming, I just hope it's not terrible.

EDIT: Oh, and any Matthew Reilly novel, but I believe I've said that before in a similar thread.

 

[Card Boy]

Midkemia game, i don't want a MUD or Krondor games. PC only.

Firefly/Serenity..perfect genre would be a loot fps/rpg a la Borderlands. Make it happen Gearbox

Imagine a firefly game that is open world with no loading screens. You can go from flying in space, to landing on some planet and doing some odd jobs. 3rd person though.

 

[King of the Potato People]

They should do a Red Dead-style game set in the Blazing Saddles universe.

 

[pakkit]

Dune. It's so autistically thought out (those books drag) that it could easily transfer to an RPG.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

You could probably say that of ANY Studio Ghibli film.

True, but I believe the world and mechanics of Secret World go best with a video game. There is a lot of unexplored potential with creating a world that is explored from a much smaller prescriptive.

Other titles from Studio Ghibli that would lend well to video games is Princess Mononoke and Porco Rosso. You could also make a case for Castle in the Sky, among some others.

 

[RibbedHero]

So many possibilities. Open-world game with Kramer's antics would be awesome.

 

[Yamibito]

Twin Peaks, even though we have Deadly Premonition and Alan Wake- I want a game as Dale Cooper.

 

[Qwomo]

Earth.

We're not worthy of that and you know it. We don't deserve good things like that.

Dude Sim Life was awesome man. You got to play as God and screw with Evolution and create lizard toucan rats.

 

[CorvoSol]

Woops double post, sorry.

Do we really need a game about nothing?

Stand-up sequences with Jerry could be QTE based.

 

[Stephen Colbert]

Archer

 

[The Technomancer]

Steelpushing/Ironpulling around the world Spider-Man style with the other Allomatic powers at your disposal would be awesome. I would love to see the visual direction someone talented would create for Luthadel

 

[PhiLonius]

Batman Beyond

Pokemon as an MMORPG. It's been said before.

This as well.

 

[GK86]

Battlestar galactica.

 

[friskykillface]

I've always thought an open world f-zero would be cool, you drive around to different races and explore the city, also since captain falcon is a bounty hunter you do missions.

Just make a new f-zero nintendo

 

[iratA]

Rifts - The Palladium Books Role-playing Game
For those that don't know of it Here's the link to read up - think futuristic cyberpunk crossed with inter-dimensional travel. A world where technology meets magic.

Converted into a game much like Mass Effect except you can choose your O.C.C. just like in the RPG ala 'Techno Wizard', 'Glitter Boy Pilot', 'Juicer', 'Ley Line Walker' etc.

The world would be much darker than Mass Effect though, think Blade Runner Gritty.

 

[vareon]

Temeraire series: Napoleonic Wars fought with dragons.

 

[Schweinehund]

Berserk

This series just hasn't had enough exposure. Such a terrific story and setting. The apostles themselves would make interesting boss fights. I think if the new films take off we could see some games next gen.

Imagine that in 1080p awesomeness with locked 60 fps with a combat system designed by Kamiya.

Do you really want to see Miis driving F-Zero vehicles? Amusement Vision should regroup and make a proper sequel to F-Zero GX, the greatest futuristic racer of all time!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I want a full-blown videogame version of The Tripods trilogy of books, focusing around a series of scenarios ranging from the boys' journey in The White Mountain, to sneaking around the City of Gold and Lead to solve mysteries, to whatever the hell could go wrong with piloting hot-air balloons in that last book. Decent book series, but even better if made into games with different play styles and aesthetic choices.

I'd buy it.

Whoa :o

[Zoramon089]

Deserves a decent game. It was too awesome a book series to have gotten only a crappy low budget children's show and a bunch of garbage games.

I don't know if it'd be a fighting game or adventure...but it needs to be made

 

[Squidofman]

[WanderingWind]

Best. MMO. Ever.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Downton Abbey.

Man, I would have to be able to completely customize my Nen for it to live up to the potential

You could pretty much build it around a similar format as what Persona 4 had. I would have loved a good Animorphs game when I was in school.

 

[Empty Space]

I feel like a game set in this universe would be pretty awesome. There's few western games as it is and it also has some fantasy thrown in too.

 

[Fjordson]

Blame

Wow. What is this??

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings. If only fantasy games were even half as creative.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Correct answer: Tetsuya Mizuguchi and Fumito Ueda both working on a video-game adaptation of Angel's Egg from Oshii. What the fuck that could be—just one more excuse for some Yoshitaka Amano art!

 

[The Technomancer]

Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings. If only fantasy games were even half as creative.

Any Brandon Sanderson book really. I could see some really cool implementations of the magical systems in Warbreaker.

 

[Blizzard]

Wow. What is this??

I also wish to know!

 

[Callibretto]

I really want a negima rpg, that game is titally designed as game in mind, 40 girl to pick from as your party member, each with their own special ability, it has robots, ghost, alien, demon, dragon, kungfu, ninja, vampire, etc.

Felt like a very perfect setting for an rpg.

 

[Jintor]

Or perhaps more specifically

Give me an Assassin's Creed-style game in Ankh-Morpork. Please. Nevermind the adventure games, give me an RPG or something

Well..there was a PS2 game already.

However unfortunately the manga turned into complete and utter shit now, the Ant arc was so freaking bad, and Election Arc is so fucking boring, if there is plans for a new game I hope they stay with the hunter exam ,Shin York and Greed Island arcs.

 

[Blizzard]

Half answering my own question, it appears to be a manga (maybe?) called BLAME!
