Something modern with this concept(modern guns and vehicles vs dragons and fantasy)

It would play like modern call of duty or battlefield and you'd be shooting fantasy creatures. I won't say this is impossible, but so far what I'm specifically looking for hasn't happened these past two gens.
 
Hmm, let me think...(I know you didn't mention games, but this is what I want!)

1: A sequel to Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts that pushes everything to 11, or at least a PC port with modding, people have no idea what they missed with the first games genius, but I understand we should've and still should get a true Banjo Threeie.

4: Make an open world Sonic game that essentially looks like the Sonic CD intro.
LMAO id rather have a sequel to the N64 Banjo games over that.
also im pretty sure there are two Sonic fangames that did that.

(also make Megaman Starforce 4 and Megaman Legends 3 again with the same ideas from the cancelled games)

Indie Studios to make old-school PSX style Survival Horror/JRPGs.

I mean shit, they could do a MegaMan Legends type game.

I hate knocking indie titles cause I clearly have zero skills or knowledge with game development but I keep waiting for the early 3D/PSX style to take off and it just doesn't happen. Too many indie titles are always looking for some old school gameplay but a modern hook and I hate the modern hook 99% of the time. I just want straight up old school gameplay like we saw on the PSX/Saturn.

That community does it though and the results are awesome. Definitely worth checking out if you aren't familiar with it.

A proper Tie Fighter sequel.

A new Soldier of Fortune with insane gore effects.

A historical Total War game not set in asia that doesn't suck.

I want both! Did you try Buts & Bolts though? The Sonic fan games were fine, but I'm talking AAA here, not rough indie games (I did enjoy Utopia for what it was though, much better than Sonic Teams output).

I always wanted a battle royal game.

But like, a multiplayer horror free-for-all where you have to hide, construct physics based traps, maim other players horribly and watch them die a slow gruesome death. I wanted mechanics which meant you didn't want to kill people, but also don't want to die yourself and are forced to do it.

Then Fortnite and PUBG happened and now battle royal means something else and it'll never happen :(

I think Evolve and Second Extinction are close to this concept. Neither specifically has a "dragon", though the monsters/dinosaurs in them aren't far off.

idk, i heard it was very mediocre, but then again i like some of "mediocre" games aswell like most 3D Sonic's. so who knows.

1. Survival horror games like Silent Hill 1 and 2 that aren't walking simulators.

2. Point and click games that have logical solutions puzzles instead of trying to emulate 90s adventure games with illogical puzzles

3. Games where your choices actually do matter in the end. Most games only give you illusion of choices and have the same endings with slight variants. I want far reaching consequences of my choices that will want me to replay the game again.

A new classic Need For Speed game (think 1994-2002): no open world, no gambling, exotic locations, all the dream cars, made with a very high budget exclusively for next gen, with an optional full-fat VR mode.

Well what you are looking for did exist in the sixth gen:

an FF7 remaster with all the original high resolution background found and used for it. Supposedly even back then they made the original background files at a super high resolution. They were all just lost…

Anachronox Remake.
Updated Graphics/Tech
Updated Gameplay. Don't mind the turn-based rpg tbh, but wouldn't fret if it went action rpg.

Just want a nice solid sci-fi, cyberpunk experience.
I remember playing it back then, and its still one of those games that sits in my head. (I didn't even finish it)
Writing and humor is great. The grand scale. The locations to visit.

Maybe someday.

A 3 player co-op 2d sprite Gunstar Heroes made by Treasure with dozens and dozens of branching paths.
100s of bosses including every boss from Treasure's 2d history - and tons of crossovers from their library..
Playable Bangai-O, Alien Soldier, the kids from SnP, and the girl from Mischief Makers.
I want the screen to zoom in and pan out - just make the ultimate 2D run n gun - flyable level with the Radiant Silverguns and Ikaruga, then retire the studio.

A SOR REMAKE / SONIC MANIA gameplay faithful new series of SEGA's old IP. And also visual art style faithful, not anime looking trash like SOR4. SOR Remake/Sonic Mania spruced up the visuals, but they were still like hi res pixels, they were glorious.

Just call it the Mania line, and give us a Golden Axe Mania, Shinobi Mania, Altered Beast Mania, etc.

That doesn't sound right man, are you OK?
i'm ok, thanks for asking, i guess it's years of being fat and sitting behind a computer 12+ hours a day catching up to me, i've been losing weight lately and it helps somewhat but i don't think i'll be able to do those long gaming sessions anymore.

disagree, id honestly preffer the anime stuff over yet another generic pixel game...
i also find the fandom for mania obnoxious so please don't touch the retro pixel style, not even with a 10 foot pole anymore.. people made it obnoxious.
