Your favorite game that'll never happen

A new Silent Hill or Resident Evil that lives up to the series' first three installments.

Horror RPG, that relies on team play, like eg. Mass Effect.
 
With one of the original few endings instead, a la what Drew thing (spelling of name forgotten, sorry!) spoke about in recent interviews? If they could make an imposing reaper such as Sovereign again, that would be wondeful.

With a competent writing lead and the entire team given a very flexible deadline in order to flesh out the final chapter in a trilogy as much as it needs to satisfy fans. I don't necessarily want Drew's original ending or anything, just a project that wasn't so obviously rushed because shareholders need new sports cars.
 
Deus Ex 2

I know what you mean but...

Zelda II-inspired Zelda game by From Software, with absolutely no input whatsoever from Nintendo. From gets to do whatever the fuck they want. It's a Wii-U game but it only uses the Pro Controller. If you attempt to play it with a GamePad it spits the disc out of the console at a speed that could grate metal.

Nintendo is not allowed within a 200km radius of the vicinity of this game's development.
 
Homeworld 3
FreeSpace 3
A X-Wing or TieFighter sequel
Blade Runner 2 (The Westwood Game)
Jedi Knight 3 (Jedi Academy was a shitty spinoff.. I want a real Jedi Knight 3)
World in Conflict 2

Yaaay another lazy Dark Souls/Zelda comparison. The two are nothing alike.
 
Some sort of awesome cyber punk open-world game with the length of Skyrim.
 
Xenogears remake with modern gen assets

While we're fantasizing, throw in a ZOE2-style action battle system for when you're in gears

My answers were Homeworld 3 or any Space Sim.
Now, I am remembering one more.

A spiritual successor.
There are two kinds of games: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of expectation, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn, nonetheless, for the latter.
Academician Prokhor Mindlog, "Address to the GAF"

Such thorough integration of a great story, setting and gameplay is unlikely to ever happen again.
 
Original 8-bit Mega Man reinvented as a full 3D action game!

- Megaman World
- Inspired by Super Mario Galaxy and Ratched & Clank series
- All bosses from Mega Man 1-6
- Remixed music
- Colorfull graphics
- High production value
- Next gen consoles (includes Wii U)

Capcom could milk this series and make it a three parter.

...was there ever another secret of mana?

Several but they kept experimenting with different gameplay ideas. I would like to have a modern 2D Secret of Mana that is faithful to the original design and style.

They should find Hiroki Kikuta and force him to compose one more soundtrack for a Secret of Mana game!

More NiGHTS games, especially a 3DS entry - Dual Screens, 3D, So Much Potential.

Pop N Twinbee: Rainbow Bell Adventures 2.

A Gun.Smoke and/or Sunset Riders sequel. I hear that Red Dead Redemption (and Revolver before it) is meant to be a 'spiritual successor' to Gun.Smoke, but I haven't played it yet and hope to soon.

A Solstice sequel.

Bayonetta 2.

Mega Man (X) Collections getting European releases.

Tetris Attack DS.

A Yoshi's Island game with Mario 64-esque level design or Super Mario World's Multiple exits/Switch Palaces/Secret Levels.

S-E to revive the ActRaiser series.

Lots More.

In side-scrolling 2d. Miyamoto should get some input when absolutely called for.

Donkey Kong '94 deserves a true successor.
 
A good Double Dragon reboot.

I would like to see a Tenchu update as well. Take a Dark Souls world kinda approach but with an emphasis on stealth.

-Klonoa 3 developed by Klonoa Works on Wii U.
-Disaster Report 4 "resurrection" for PS3 by original (former) Irem members.
-Ape Escape 4 for PS3 by Japan Studio/original team.
-King's Field V for PS3 by From Software (obviously).
-2D Castlevania by IGA for PS3, full blown retail title, packed with content, etc.
-Suikoden game developed by the main crew responsible for the first two games.
-Shinji Mikami to revitalize survivor horror with his new game/studio (likely not to happen).
-Alundra 3 developed by original Matrix Software team with Kōhei Tanaka as composer, Yoshitaka Tamaki as character designer, and directed by Yasuhiro Ohori.

There's probably more, but this is the kind of stuff where I could die a happy man if it were to happen. =(
