I've been thinking about this lately and i believe that JRPG/platformer would make an amazing genre (i think there are some?). I love my JRPG's but most of the time you are either battling, talking or running across huge plains. If there were more platforming elemnts during these sections i think it would definately make a 70hour JRPG more interesting.

I also think a mixture of FPS/Adventure would be great, similar to metroid prime. Too bad there aren't similar games.

What do you guys think?

Mario RPG on Snes is like that, it's great fun too! I'd love a current gen game like Actraiser: God sim, with strategic city building/miracle working while looking down from heaven, and awesome close up monster fighting like God of War.

Open World FPRPS.

STALKER has done it, but it would be nice to have a game like that but with a landmass the size of Vvanderfell.

FPS/RPG was really good in the first Deus Ex. RPG/strategy can be pretty interesting too, like in Warcraft 3.

A Music Game with a branching RPG storyline. We could call it "The Elder's RockBand", and you could guide your original garage rock band along several paths determined by which songs you choose for a concert, which would end up determining what sort of band you become. And there would be van armour.

oooh yes, ill have some of that please. Even just a racer with a good narrative and story (not the crap you find in NFS) would be cool.

Eh? Racing/Platformer? You'll have a car leaping over goombas? Mario Kart Wii is the closest thing you'll get to that. Sounds kind of lame to be honest.

Racing/platformer, sounds like Mario Kart and Gadget Racer would fit that genre.

I like the idea of a jrpg or better yet a mmorpg combined with a 3d fighting game like SCIV.
