online rpgs that play just like regular rpgs (specifically final fantasy vii, because of active time battles), but each party member would be played by one of your friends. they'd even have endings like regular rpgs, too.

a deathmatch game that took place on an entire planet. you'd start with just regular guns, but there'd be things like military bases with fighter jets and tanks that you could get in and use. even more well hidden would be things like giant robots, magical artifacts to raise armies of undead, nuclear silos and other weapons of mass destruction. the game would be ongoing, and you just had to kill as many people as possible before someone killed you

to be fair the to thestage since this thread was his idea maybe move it to kop?

[Gorblax]

Digging up my ancient mental checklist here:

- a DBZ fighting game where you could literally play as every character, and also actually do their moves (see above)
- a Zelda game set in the future (Twilight Princess kind of has that dark future aesthetic to it)
- a game where I could get points in real life for doing stuff (I eventually bought an app like this for my iPhone)
- a game with fully interactive voice recognition with characters who could talk back to you (Project Milo?)
- a game where you could draw up a maze with traps and send it to your friends (I would do this on paper sometimes, now I guess it's in pretty much everything)
- a game series where all of the famous video game characters crossed over and went on adventures together, forming a cohesive universe in the vein of Marvel or DC (super smash bros. brawl/kingdom hearts I guess)
- a game where you could travel to any time period and dick around, affecting the future (Chrono Trigger was around but I didn't know about it)
- a game like GTA except set in a 1:1 exact replica of our world and fully destructible environments (I still think that 1:1 Earth replica games will eventually be an entire genre)

As a kid, I always wanted an open world Jurassic Park game where you wash up on the beach and have to explore the island to survive and find a way out. This is what Trespasser originally promised, blew my mind, then utterly disappointed me. On the plus side, that same Christmas I got Half-Life, soooo...

[bananas]

I recall being crushed with disappointment when I first realized that 3D games were just polygons that were hollow on the other side. I thought there was actually something on the other side of that wall. As such I suspected that in the post PS1 era we'd get games where the whole world actually had substance. Like a Mega Man Legends wherein the drill actually let you drill through anything you wanted. Minecraft is more or less the first big thing to actually fulfill this dream and that's at least half of why I love it.

In some ways, Mario Galaxy and Skyward Sword and Sonic Colors really lived up to childhood dreams. In other ways not so much, but still, reality has been pretty good to me.

I really wanted more VR stuff to pick up -- not in the Lawnmower Man sense, but in the Dactyl Nightmare and Aladdin VR sense -- but HMDs went off the rails for well over a decade. You may be able to imagine how weirdly vindicated I felt a few months ago when John fucking Carmack started complaining about the very same things I was disappointed by, in the very same words that I had thought, and then used his influence to get the Oculus Rift project on its feet.

Pretty sure what I wanted more from games was pitched battles on the top of incredibly high, treacherous places.
I think we've gotten a lot of that.

Falling still feels fucking cheesy most of the time, though. The skybox illusion is rarely convincing when you plummet into it. We're doing better than the days of Goldeneye, but there's still a lot wanting.

Dark Souls was basically the game I was designing in my head all through Uni, except instead of 3D Metrovania it was 2D
MegaMantroid and instead of disorienting fantasy it was philosophical sci-fi.

After Super Mario 64 came out I wanted a Mario game quite literally how Super Mario Land 3D turned out.

I fully expected a game that played exactly how Top Gun looked and weirdly never got it. Ace Combat really doesn't do it for me.

The only idea I remember is that I really wanted a Tales of Destiny style game with the Slayers license.

I'd probably still play that.

ha, this thread reminded me i kind of thought of l4d as a kid. wanted a fps that involved a 4-player team online and going through a campaign working together and stuff.

of course it involved shooting people and looked more like duke nukem 3d or something, but i think l4d is pretty obviously better than whatever i was thinking of when i was 14 or whatever.

[tacotaskforce]

I still want every game to have lock-on technology with ever other game so that I can play Katamari Damacy in every game.

I always wanted that universe marbles game to be a videogame when I was a kid (the one at the end of the first Men in Black).

I always wanted something like Shenmue that would take me on a journey of Kung-Fu and self-improvement. Through some mechanism that would translate into the real world and not just be a videogame. I probably need Jane McG to gameify my life more in some way before what I was dreaming about as a kid can become reality.

Gironika, when Split/Second 2 comes out I'M COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE in Sector Z AND WE'RE GOING TO PLAY THIS THING

[Schwere Viper]

Eschatos is basically how I pictured shooting games to look in the future. Not gameplay-wise necessarily, just how it is presented.

Gameplay-wise I always figured they'd go the Solvalou/Solar Assault route. Then starfighter sims died ;_;
