Not so much.
 
An open world Game of Thrones RPG. Use something like the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. System from the Fallout games. Skill checks in Dialogue, for lockpicking, etc. Choose to be a noble, thug, priest, spy, warrior or whatever. Your aim is to someday sit on the Iron Throne. You can help, stop or betray people in your quest for glory. People will do the same to you, depending on yuor interaction with them. Possibility to create armies and take over places like Winterfell, etc. Large scale battles, assassinations and secret meetings are part of your life when you start to gain power. Attend meetings with different nations. Negotiate, threaten, taunt (and much more) during meetings. Cause nations to attack eachother with skillfull deception.

Stealth action MGS3/Day-Z style survival game. Possibility to forge alliances with other contestants, points-based reward system that gives the player bonuses for killstreaks and stylish kills.
 
Sherlock, although i'm sure there will be a game out of it someday and will be woeful

Magnum P.I. Hell you have everything: beautiful island, cars, women, shootouts, Higgins

Hawaii five-o: same as above
 
I think a game set in Midcryu from The Night Angel trilogy would be awesome. Maybe not playing as Kylar or Durzo but playing as a wetboy at least. Thinking about an open ended assassination game like Hitman set in this universe makes my mouth water.
 
The whole time I was watching Brave I was thinking about how much fun a game based on that, as sort of a light hearted mini-Skyrim. The movie even features that bread crumb trail from Fable.

The main protagonist is a galgamer himself, the entire premise of most of the arcs is that he goes around capturing the hearts of girls to free them from the kaketama inside them. The routes he uses are basically from games themselves. It's just begging for a galge version of it. <3
 
Planet of the Apes. (the old movies)
Gameplay would be a cross between RDR and Fallout.
Every group is a playable faction. Savages, Apes, Astronauts, Telepathic Bomb Worshippers. and mutated humans. Different end goals for each faction but there can be cross over.

Seriously shit would be awesome.

But that's just the resentful hope for a season 2 in me talking :/

RE4-style 3rd person, split into distinct missions a la GoldenEye.
 
Green River Rising by Tim Willocks.

It's the story of a new inmate trying to survive a full scale prison riot where the prisoners are in control and running wild.

You would have a huge prison to explore and escape while under attack from other prisoners and guards.

It would work great as a Resident Evil 4 action survival title mixed with large numbers of characters on screen in parts as seen in Dead Rising.
 
Gantz would make a good video game.Let someone from platinum design it. Oh man..
Banned in Germany.
Banned in Australia.
Banned wherever there are humans lol

I'd love this if they kept all of the batshit things Gantz have going for it.

A proper The Hunger Games videogame could be pretty amazing.

Edit: Beaten, I see.
In this vein, I feel Battle Royale would be a better fit, it can work just like in the movie.

Gantz ran in German free-tv.

Red Dawn: It would be a mixture between Freedom Fighters and its squad recruitment/control mechanics and MGS3's survival elements. You could free people from the Russian internment camps to follow you, hunt for food and you could sabotage or steal from enemy stores and supply chains to lower morale and ammunition.
 
I want the actual game that read Ender's psyche.
Oh yes, that would be very nice..

Some sort of adventure game with proper decision making involving each situation without pre-defined outcome.
Would be incredible to teach those launchees tactics in zero-g and later see if it works in actual fight.
Also the mind fantasy game could be incredible if it would react and create scenarios depending on how player acts.

If developer would aim for something unique and push reactive non-prescripted storytelling it could be very impressive game.
