A lot of mine are developer team ups, since I find certain developers have a weakspot that a team up could fix.
Battlefield 4- Crytek (for single player, giving us a large open campaign with a decent length) and DICE (they could focus completely on multiplayer)
Alpha Protocol 2- Yager, IO and Obsidian. Yager really took my heart with Spec Ops: The Line, with a really serious portrayal of war, and the combat wasn't "bad" so I think with a little work it could be serviceable for an RPG, while Obsidian would get the RPG mechanics working and flesh out the story. I'd like to think we could see a genuine and dark look into the world of a spy with Yager, and Obsidian already wasn't against morally grey choices and decisions in the first. IO I'd use mainly for the level design, making truly open levels to test your stealth and spy prowess.
Harry Potter- Rockstar. I mean, I remember some of them being open world, and with Bully Rockstar already made what I'd consider to be a perfect template for an HP game. Replace slingshots and bikes with wands and broomsticks, and you have a dynamite HP game.
Fallout 4- Bethesda, Obsidian and Id. Id did a good job showing how shooting is done in RAGE, and made a beautiful and polished game, but it was so empty and dull. Obsidian of course has some of the best writing and RPG mechanics put in place for New Vegas, while Bethesda can craft worlds and locations well, so for the ultimate Fallout game I'd have RAGE in charge of AI and combat, Obsidian with the writing and characters, and Bethesda for the world. I guess this many devs could ruin the game though.
Resident Evil 7- Visceral Games. Instead of a team up, I just think developers have lost track of what made the Resident Evil series great, and I think Dead Space was basically RE4 in space. It wasn't scary or deep, and had a tendency for repetition, though I think with more of a focus on tension and exploration over action, and a return to multiple areas (like in RE4), those problems would be alleviated and we'd get the proper RE4 sequel we've wanted.
Silent Hill- Frictional Games. Do I need to explain?
Die Hard- Rockstar. Again, but this time using what they did with Max Payne 3. Removing slow motion might force them to add other features, but with their budgets, we'd get the all star cast back, and all the one liners and blasting away baddies we could ask for.
I know I have more, but this is all I got, and it was only one choice anyways so I highly overdid it.
