Ask Lemmy

Would love to see an hbo style show for Dresden files or for Brandon sandersons cosmere. They both have some fantastic potential.

I wouldn't mind a cartoony anime style either similar to Vox Machina

I would really love for the Cradle Series by Wight to be made into a video game. It's like the books were written to be a video game.

In the book, the magic system has definable levels, only certain ways to make mix them, augmentation choices. The whole time I read the books, all I could think was how cool would this be if you made an open world system where you could combine madra systems and various paths to make a million different ways you could play a game.

Someone needs to make it... And if I had the money I would commission it right away.

I would hire a ton of artistic, technical, and creative people, both experienced and inexperienced, and I would fund them and encourage them to create novel things.

I'd love to see an R-rated survival horror Metroid movie.

Nintendo will never let it happen but I can dream.

I’d love a word-for-word film adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And if I can’t get a film, I’ll take a solid MMO made of it by the same people that made Dark Age of Camelot.

Thief or Deus Ex hard to decide

Baten Kaitos 3.

It's a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-"deck building" turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn't have as much budget.

A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team's current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.

A full remake of the classic games, and then the actual last game that they never finished.

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

Something new in the Avatar:TLA universe, could be any game/show/movie as long as it has the same writers as the original series. Korra was good but I need more damn it!

THE DARKNESS 3

Blueballed for 15 years.

Resmaster of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. Best Mortal Kombat I ever played.

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

I'm addicted to urban fantasy right now so I definitely wish we could get another swing at The Secret World. I love hidden world things like a second society of cryptids beneath the mundane and I've been inlove with the setting for forever.

I know the devs were talking about a tv series but... nothing.

I've also always wanted to do a band of brothers style series but from a star wars' perspective where half the series is in the eyes of rebels and the other half in the eyes of the empire. But to slowly build up more gray morality - like the rebel soldiers have to struggle with committing acts that cause civilian casualties to push their objective. Or the stormtroopers slowly being broken from the imperial cult but still loyal to the concept of what it means for order.

Or like.. a band of brothers style series of a platoon of imperial guardsman in 40k. Just guys struggling to survive demons, aliens, and killer robots.

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.

movie: any muppet movie

series: zefrank's true facts, numberphile, myths and legends podcast

video game: so far larian studios, but there's a lot of small pubs and indie devs that are great as well

Kill 6 billion demons could be agreat show.

Animated series for one of my favorite novels: Worm

It should be a long running series, with focus on the characters and the superhero society as a whole.

Arcane level animation would be nice

LEGO Avatar the Last Airbender

Who wouldn’t?

Series? More macross/robotech that makes sense. Macross Plus is the best for many reasons, but mostly because of the coherent plot. Give me awesome mecha, itano circus missile flights, and a plot that's not fucking stupid. (I can't stand robotech's plot, and macross is barely tolerable.)

Game? Master of Magic 2 that doesn't suck. I've seen 2 or 3 spiritual successors but they've failed in execution. Keep it simple. Update the original and add a touch of something. Don't reinvent it.

Movie? District 9 sequel. I don't know how they'd do it but the movie was so good I want more.

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?'

Manga-accurate Anime of Berserk fully hand drawn and without clang sounds for swords

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 give the guy who made Wazhack a bunch of money. I like his take on nethack
