The Expanse

Just 3 more seasons to go

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

The last few books were amazing.

And the conclusion, the ending... chefs kiss. I loved it.

Would love to see them finish it and stay as close to the books as possible. I think they already deviated quite a bit though.

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune 2 points 2 days ago

I'm on Abbadons Gate at the moment, it's here that things really start changing now that Bull becomes a character. Otherwise I feel like it was only Soren that was very different. Though Soren and Drummer are some of my fave characters in the series.

Stargate SG-1.

Not Atlantis, with their star trek uniforms. Not Universe with their angst and jeans.

Hard, military professionals jaunting through wormholes into alien words they don't comprehend and won't really try to, fucking up local politics and delicate galactic power balances alike in their incessant hunt for really big fucking guns, and Baal clones.

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Came here to say something similar.

A Stargate spin-off with a premise that leans away from Earth being so extremely overpowered like they were by the end of the show. Focus on feet-on-the-ground missions and exploration. Less space battles (but not none), more mysterious alien worlds.

A sequel to Ex Machina - Ava's experiences in the real world. Caleb has managed to escape, and he's tracking her.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I'd want to do a series of shows based on the chapters from World War Z

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah, I never really got the hate the movie got until I read the book, just seemed like a generic but passable zombie action movie.

Why even buy the rights to the novel if you're only going to use the title?

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

it spent way too long in development hell and yeah, the final product is... almost unrelated to the source. shame.

A series could do each chapter justice.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 77 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Another season of Firefly

EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I'll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I'll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven't aged.

Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.

The Starlost needs a remake. Great premise, dollar store execution.

Foreseeing the destruction of Earth, humanity builds a multi-generational starship called Earthship Ark, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 200 miles (320 km) long. The ship contains dozens of biospheres, each kilometres across and housing people of different cultures. Their goal is to find and seed a new world of a distant star.

In 2385, more than 100 years into the voyage, an unexplained accident occurs, and the ship goes into emergency mode in which each biosphere is sealed off from the others.

Centuries after its original launch, most of the descendants of the original crew and colonists are unaware that they are even aboard a spaceship.

[-] UnPassive@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I'd buy Magic The Gathering and just make it less greedy

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago

I’d fund the final three season of The Expanse.

And pay for the Elite Dangerous developers to better support simulators.

[-] pixelscript@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

I'd buy controlling share of all three companies that own Pokemon and change absolutely nothing except fund Game Freak to hire more software talent and give them enough time for an actual development cycle worth a damn.

I'd fund A quality Fantasy MMO rpg so it wouldn't ever have micro transactions and would also scrub all guides about it from the internet in an attempt to bring back community based progression instead of 'why no meta bro?'

[-] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Mmmmmmm me likey.

GIVE ME BACK ASHERON'S CALL!!

Patron/vassal pyramid scheme experience gain system that incentivized helping out less experienced players because you got a % of their XP (at no loss to them) and their vassals, etc etc...

Back in the day when you didn't have an online guide for everything. World was HUGE and there was no real fast travel, but there was a crazy portal network. Random portals in the middle of nowhere that would dump you out at other random parts of the map. Portals exiting dungeons randomly take you somewhere else. I had a spiral ring notebook of portal coords and sometimes to get somewhere it was 7-8 hops through a few dungeons... Or hours running across the map trying to not get janked by high level mobs or other PVP players.

That era of MMO will never live again, and it's a damn shame.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago

Give the original disco elysium team a blank check to do anything they want.

Doesn't need to be a game, books, art, whatever. That team was lightning in a bottle.

[-] practisevoodoo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.

[-] wabasso@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Did the (anti)protagonist shape shift that much in Phlebas? And even then would it have been a problem for the series? Money no object after all…

I'd fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.

I'd also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart...

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 28 points 5 days ago

They did. The tools they released can "accidentally" be "hacked" easily to enable all needed features.

See https://youtube.com/@lotrichexe4860 for some work in progress videos of a custom campaign.

Wing commander, Freespace.

Games of this genre are completely dead. I'd love another decent mission based space flight game.

Mixed media adaptations of all things Cosmere related and Brandon Sanderson would have full creative control.

[-] Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 8 points 4 days ago

Farscape.

Modern visuals, Muppets, a team of good writers and the core cast returning could be really good. Black and Browder wouldn't be too old yet to make the characters work.

That chaotic universe could provide so many posibilities to explore if done right.

[-] practisevoodoo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Someone made the point previously about Disney owning Muppets now and doing live action adaptations of all the animated films when they have the opportunity to do muppet versions instead.

Although I would absolutely want more farscape.

Kerbal Space Program / Factorio / Stellaris crossover

Key elements would include:
-design a factory/macro-economy to produce aerospace components & weapons similar to Factorio
-using those components, design vehicles that obey real-ish physical laws similar to KSP
-arm those vehicles and use them as units in Real Time Strategy with the option to take First Person control of individual units

Neuromancer, with out updating it for technology. I want that phone bank scene.

[-] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 23 points 5 days ago

Personally I'd love to recreate The Walking Dead but I'd want it made much more realistic, slow paced and with less pointless action scenes. I'd want the zombies being the only unrealistic thing on the entire show. It would focus much more on the survival aspect of the zombie apocalypse. It would show things like loot-runs and base building in much greater detail. Instead of the flashy highlights it would be more about the mundane life in the apocalypse. There would be entire episodes where "nothing" happens.

I imagine it would be an extremely boring show for the vast majority of people, but the tiny niche audience of zombie fanatics like myself would absolutely love it. I'd let other people watch it for free (because why not) but it would be made entirely according to my personal preferences with no regard for how it would be received by others.

~~Mumm~~ Vimes: A Discworld Story. As a series planned with a fixed amount of seasons and as close to the books as possible.

A „The forever war“ movie would also be very interesting. Or a „Hyperion“ series.

GNU Theft Auto

[-] r_deckard@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Ringworld and its sequels The Ringworld Engineers, Ringworld's Children, and the Ringworld Throne, with some less-dated attitudes. I mean I'm not totally opposed to rishathra as a concept, but just a few tweaks here and there to catch up with modern attitudes.

If money really wasn't an issue, the entire "Known Space" series. A chance for some really good CGI with Pierson's Puppeteers, Kzin, and all the specialised post-human races living on the Ringworld. And Thrint, Slavers, Outsiders, and so on.

Then there's the first-contact "The Mote in God's Eye" and its sequel "The Mote in Murchison's Eye" AKA "The Gripping Hand". Another opportunity for some interesting three-armed CGI aliens.

Oh, and "Footfall" - an alien invasion story. These aliens look somewhat like baby elephants 😲

I'd happily finance another Dredd movie with Garland and Urban working on it.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 20 points 5 days ago

An X-Wing and TIE Fighter remake. Yeah, there's the TFTC, but the X-Wing Alliance engine is pretty dated as well. And who knows how far along XWVM is. Why do none of these projects ever get developed as open source?

I'd like to see a foss micro kernal GNUHurd become as mature as linux.

I'd like a serious focus on linux distro and kernel security so I'd fund research and development on those areas.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Fix up The Hobbit into 2 movies, with more practical effects, or at least more subtle cgi.

THE DARKNESS 3

Blueballed for 15 years.

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.

Spoilers from the first bookThe magic system is well-defined and the noble factions are all there with their own headquarters. Traversal would be the perfect hybrid of Assassin's Creed and Spiderman, running over rooftops and swinging from metal fixtures throughout Luthadel with iron and steel.

I imagine combat feeling like Breath of the Wild where the player can burn tin to slow down time, allowing the player to perform coin shots, dodge attacks, etc. Pewter increases damage and iron pulls weapons, coins, or enemies themselves if wearing armour. Zinc could allow skaa to be rioted, attacking nearby enemies on the player's behalf whilst brass could be used for stealth.

Areas the player could access at any given time could be limited via soothing stations and metal availability. The mist itself would even allow the developers to keep draw distance down and prevent players from travelling too far outside the city grounds until the story permits.

It was insanely popular but too expensive given the amount of locations they filmed. But that's what made it so good

Kerbal space program 2 with multiplayer.

Kitten Space Agency was just announced with a lot of former KSP folks, but still super early and not sure if they'll make it to the finish line

[-] firadin@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Sonic Adventure 3 with Chao Garden

A roguelike deck builder but with real time combat similar to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

Black and White 3

Knights of the Old Republic 3

[-] ButtermilkBiscuit@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Two games should be made into movies -

Interstate 76

Full throttle

Probably dating myself with those suggestions. Another wildcard game that should be made into a movie - MechWarrior - whatever version.
