Ask Lemmy

More sense8. I enjoyed it but I fear it was too queer for genpop.

Would.love to see a series starting with Alexander the great. but turning into a game of thrones type deal with the war of the Diodochi.

the intrigue and settings would be amazing

the battles would be great

I want to make an 8-bit rpg in the vein of Final Fantasy set in Mesoamerica.

In the beginning you select classes/characters based on historical roles from the region. The class choice designates party roles and gives access to skills that are manually input via arrow keys or d-pad. Those skills drain a stamina resource that is refilled in combat.

I want a magic system that resembles Metaphor Refantasio. Completing achievements/challenges characters unlock forms (stored in mirrors) based on Mesoamerican mythology that give access to spells that use mana points as a resource and a limit break transformation. There will be twenty forms, one for each symbol in the Tonalpolhualli.

I want to write it in Lua so I can give it Balatro like bells and whistles. Or JavaScript because this whole thing is a total fantasy.

A high-art movie where practical effects are used extensively so there are no characters shown. All you hear is their voices and the physical effect on the scene from their actions. Imagine a movie and edit out the people. There would be no known actors used, so the viewer is left to imagine what each character looks like. Voice actors would be selected with as many as possible that don't look like they sound.

It would later be followed up with interviews with the actors. Between the two aspects it could be used as a tool of introspection to understand your biases in perception of others.

It would be such a financial loss, there is zero chance it would ever make money.

Wheel of time movies or TV show THE RIGHT FUCKING WAY

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

THE DARKNESS 3

Blueballed for 15 years.

Ann McCaffrey's Pern series. Teleporting time traveling retro futuristic dragons.

Probably followed by either Footfall, invading octopus elephants, or Ringworld. Which is Halo with 2 headed 3 legged 1 hoof snakes.

A more surrealist mashup of the SCP Universe, Alan Wake and Control. Im in love with those.

In 2011, there was a lightly steam-punk (Davinci-punk?) Three Musketeers movie with a villanous Orlando Bloom that set up for a sequel. We never got that sequel because only I liked it. It was, by no means, high art. I just like Alexander Dumas.

Does anyone remember "Advent Rising" back from the first Xbox and windows live? That was supposed to be a trilogy but was canned after the first game. I'd love to see that remade and continued!

Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.

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

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.

KSP rewrite from scratch with a custom engine.

Super stoked about KSA :)

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).

A book accurate Dark Tower series. I would love to see the Gunslinger in action.

KSP 2.
It was mismanaged, underfunded, and understaffed.

I'd scrap the mess they have now, hire an appropriate number of people to work on the game, and give them as much time as they need to get it right.

I'd make Eragon as a series, but actually good this time. I like the universe.

VR Black and White.

An open world TMNT game based on the original 90’s movie. It was dark and gritty and the perfect playground to fight the foot from the shadows.

Dan simmons Hyperion series.

Ski free 2.

This time, on water.

Um, I'm gonna reveal my age here and say that it's a crime the old Dragonlance fantasy series was never made into a movie. It's perfect.

I still am not over 1899 getting canned. I wanted to see where that went so bad

Edit: remake of bungie’s Myth series, not by current day Bungie though

Film series of The Black Company, or the Darkstar Trilogy

• Wicked: I did a storyboard for this in college. I absolutely think this should have been an animated movie. And not 3D. Not because it's bad, but I always envisioned the world to be more magical. And I think the animation opportunities would be AMAZING.
• Cats: Also should have been animated, and most of the cast was not picked for their singing ability. I think this could work in either 3D or 2D.
• Fatal Frame: I would love them to get the SH2 treatment. Same story but a bit more polished? And maybe a few glance features? Gosh, I'd be so fucking hype.
• The Hunger Games: Should have been a miniseries in my opinion. It was too much for a movie if you hadn't read the book. So much is internal, but you don't have the time to really infer that because of how fast they have to move.
• Les Miserables Just... You know, maybe give it a second pass...
• Rose of Versailles: I just want a nice remake, but, in late 80's/early 90's anime style. Not too big of a jump from the original style, but I think it would look nice.
• Elizabeth Freeman: When Hamilton came out (which I enjoyed immensely) I was like, "Huh. Rapping slave masters is neat, but any other stories for POC?" I then found out about Ms. Freeman, a woman I had literally never heard of. She sued for her own freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation and fucking won. Give me some songs about that shit. I already knew about the Founding Fathers and their greatness." As catchy as it is, maybe we could have spoken about someone else?
• Erased: Minor nitpick that always bothered me. When you first time see the villain (before you realize they're the villain) they're shown in half shadow. I was like," wouldn't that be funny if that was villain? But they wouldn't be that obvious." i spent the whole show trying to figure out who it was, but it was them. I wish I could have gotten rid of that one frame.
• PTSD Radio: I could see it working like Yami Shibai. I think it would be neat!
• Kuon: Remake, please and then you.

I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)

Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.

Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.

And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character

Uniracers 2

There's a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I'd like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.

Thief or Deus Ex hard to decide

LEGO Avatar the Last Airbender

Shows that need more seasons... The Expanse, Outer Range, Avenue 5.
