Give Rare a crack at a new Fable game. :D

That's a pretty good suggestion, imo. Both Fable and Rare are pretty good, and Fable already felt pretty Rare-y. I think it could work.

Thanks my friend, great minds and all that jazz. :)

Also, I'd love to see a new Fable that truly went back to it's roots and with the new power these days, perhaps Rare could make a Fable that Peter M. always wanted to make.

Can we just say that every series out there would reach their ultimate height in the hands of CD Projekt Red? ?

I would rather see a franchise die than be given to another developer.

So Metroid was better off dead?

I kind of see his point. We see FO move from GURPS style RPG to Elder Scrolls in post-apocalyptic America when Bethesda got their hands on it, which a lot of fans of classic FO hated (even though I like 3, 4 and New Vegas personally, so I don't mind it myself).

@jg4xchamp:

Why eww? The new Tomb Raider games have Metroid's world build and game design. Everything is one big level with lots of backtracking, places you can't enter because you don't have the required weapon or upgrade. You fight off animals like Samus fights off aliens with some really cool bosses. By all accounts, CD would be the best thing that could ever happen to a 3D Metroid. The shooting mechanics could translate perfectly with Samus' arm cannon-play. Especially since TR doesn't really have a duck and cover system, anyway.

They'd have Team Ninja beat by a country mile! Ninja Gaiden was great but it was designed for melee combat which is too different from what Metroid is about.

- Final Fantasy by Atlus(Just 1 game as a trial)

- A new Infamous game made by Rockstar

- Skyrim to anyone that's actually trying to make an Elder Scrolls 6

- A new Star Wars game by Bungie(Star Wars already has a story so they can't screw that up. They nailed the outer space feel, though)

- Star Wars Pod Racing by Psygnosis, the people who make Wipeout

Feminists would just complain that the puzzle blocks project an unrealistic standard for polygons, and a disproportionate representation of colors that enforces the oppression of the Spectriarchy ???

lol the blocks at the bottom are clearly getting oppressed by the ones at the top which represent white men and, as such, the physics engine for the game is a tool of the Spectriarchy. They'll also ask for a triggering bar that fills up each time oppression increases.

Sorry, But I disagree. Platinum members weren't Involve in Devil May Cry 3 and they Still haven't managed to make a Game to Surpass It in Combat. Inaba and His Team Are Much Better for Devil May Cry.

Bethesda Would have made much Better Star Wars Games Compare to EA. (At least they could make a Dark Forces/Jedi Knight Game with ID Tech 6)

I don't know why everybody thinks Fallout would be better with Obsidian, for starters Fallout 3 was much better than New Vegas (though that's arguable to some) but nonetheless Obsidian only really worked on the same engine that Bethesda made for Fallout 3, they did nothing to radically change the direction of the series on their own. Also, their cancelled Alien RPG looked like ass-juice.

There are a lot of franchises that could be far better off in the hands of other developers than they are right now. A depressing number of them, actually. Whether it is because their current developers are doing fuckk all with them, or because the current developer (no longer) has the wherewithal to be able to do the original vision and fans' expectations justice, there are some franchises that could be far better off in the hands of some other developers than they are doing right now.

Here's some of my suggestions-

(these are all purely hypothetical and just for fun duh)

  • Dragon Age with CDPR

No thanks. DA Inquisition was a lot more interesting and exciting than Witcher 3 which has a really dull gameworld, shit combat, laughably thin character development and a really one dimensional feel outside of some outstanding side quests. I think we need to see Cyberpunk 2077 to get a handle on what else CDPR have in their locker having seen them do the same game exactly three times over.

I would give Halo to Machine Games or actually anyone other than 343. Halo 5 was so bad I was shocked, I can't imagine anyone else doing worse with the next one. Also there would be a bonus effect of completely pissing off Ghosts4ever who hates Machinegames so yeah that would be excellent too.

I would give Resident Evil to From Software, specifically the team who did Bloodborne. Actually I would give them Final Fantasy too, just to piss off anyone who thinks games like FFXV which basically play themselves while you watch are a good thing.

Harry Potter with Atlus would be absolutely amazing. Actually all your suggestions are pretty good.

Uhh, mine would be...

  • Mega Man with Nintendo
  • Star Wars with Naughty Dog
  • Age of Empires with Firaxis

The Star Wars with Naughty Dog really stood out there.

Megaman and Sonic with Nintendo.

F-Zero with Retro.

Because Obsidian had some of the original guys from the original two FO's. And a lot of the aspects of FO3 were still done better in NV, if only Bethesda hadn't rushed them.

It's bad enough that Fallout 3 and 4 are pale imitations and bastardizations of a treasured cRPG franchise. "We're huge fans of Fallout" Todd says during Fallout 3's development, and yet Fallout 3 demonstrated a clear lack of understanding of the tone and atmosphere of the classics, the Brotherhood of Steel, the Super Mutants...not to mention Bethesda's absolute shit-tier writing and inability to deliver black humor.

@khoofia_pika: I hate you. I actually, physically, hate you. I never knew until now how much I wanted a Harry Potter themed Persona game, but I'll now remain wanting it for the rest of my life and it's entirely your fault.

Personally, I wanna see someone tackle a new Dino Crisis, as Capcom are uninterested. Someone like Creative Assembly would be good, go the survival horror route like they did with Alien Isolation.

Fallout 3 and 4 are rated higher on Metacritic. The Bethesda games also sold more. So not only did Obsidian sell less buit it also scored less on average.

THE FACT is the only people that think this want to be apart of some hipster crowd. Oh I am so cool to pick the lesser dev.

Obsidian has never made a good game alone. Almost all of their games they have to buy the assets from a different dev since they can not do it alone.

The reason Obsidian did not get another Fallout game is because their only game did not score high enough.

It is just like Kotor 2, Fallout , Neverwinter Nights, They are second tier, they are not creative enough by themselves so they take other ideas.

Most people from Obsidian were not involved in the first two fallout games. Also even less people that brag about Obsidian never played the first two Fallout games.

Obsidian is the cool name for children to act cool without actually knowing anything or actually ever playing games.

Even then Fallout 1 and 2 was some top down last gen stuff. They were FAR from current gen.

If you think graphics are what makes a Fallout game good, you are playing Fallout for all the wrong reasons. Well, except the Bethesda games, but even then, modders have to fix up all the garbage graphics in the newer Fallout games. It's just too bad it's such an undertaking to fix up their horrible dialogue, boring stories, and stagnant characters.

I'd like to see Retro Studios work on pretty much any IP. They are too good at what they do.

I'd also like to see an Infamous game developed by Rocksteady.

Most of those reviewers liked the story and characters in New Vegas better than what was in 3. They docked points because it was shipped in an unfinished state, which is the publishers call, not the developers.

Now, Obsidian was not without fault in the matter. After New Vegas and Alpha Protocol, they did revamp their QA process. Pretty much everything they've done since then has shipped in good shape.

@i_p_daily: I'll tell ya this, Mario Kart games has fun value in it and if you do pick up a Wii U or Switch, I totally recommend you'll pick up Mario Kart 8 and give it a spin!

Really you won't be disappointed.
