We all know there's going to be another Call of Duty. There's going to be another Mario platformer. New year? New Madden game. And that's all well and good.
But what about games that will probably never get made but you keep hoping for regardless? I'm not just talking the obvious sequels like Psychonauts 2, Beyond Good & Evil 2 (I'll believe it when I see it, Ubisoft), or a side-scrolling Metroid on a handheld.
Here's my criteria for a "do want" game that inspired this thread:
I want to play a PC dungeon crawler with LAN and online multiplayer support, complex (but not overly complex) combat, controller support (which disqualifies Torchlight II), a low price point, and no invasive DRM (which disqualifies Diablo III). Bonus points for a setting other than generic or grimdark fantasy. Additional bonus points for randomly generated levels.
EDIT: And not freemium and not a MMO (sorry, Spiral Knights fans).
I have another idea for an amazing 4-player co-op game, but I'll hold onto that one in case I ever get to live out my daydream of making a video game...
EDIT: Also: Starflight III. And not a fan project (no offense to fan projects intended).
