If you could make a videogame without limits what would it be v365

[WaterOre]

Combination of modded minecraft and eve online (also probably some universe sandbox (for the physics) and starmade), with the entire human population of earth playing it regularly. Also the physics system of real life.

The idea is that everything in the game would be driven by either the physics engine or the players, from interplanetary wars to cold fusion reactors. Additionally, players would be spawned in groups of about 1000 spread about their planet in a 100km² area.

Dude that sounds loving awesome
But what about trolls and griefers? Spammers? Infants, elderly, and the insane?

Players keeping the peace among their own societies, along with chat being restricted to a local area unless it's being transmitted over a longer distance.

Open world game set in the classical mediterranean world, with inclusion of various mythical figures, stories, and events.

Would include the Ancient Egyptian gods and myths, plus Roman, Greek, Babylonian, maybe some Persian.
Probably include Greece, Macedon, Italy, Sicily, Carthage, Egypt, Jerusalem, Babylon, and parts of Turkey.
As well as mythical locations, like Mount Olympus, Hades, the labyrinth on Crete, the fictional islands of the Odyssey, maybe Atlantis.

You would probably be playing as some Greek soldier, with the blessing of Zeus.
There would be a general push to explore where you like, fighting soldiers and monsters as necessary.
Travel by foot/horse, or by ship, or even Pegasus. And on a map both epic in scale, yet not boring to traverse or too long.
Maybe there would be some more linear/forced missions, like joining the siege of Troy, or maybe helping the Trojans.
And maybe freedom to create/lead kingdoms in war, whether it was a city-state or a nation.

Probably have some level of chronology, to an extent (Troy before Rome is founded), but shy from too much focus on the historical events. It's more fantasy than realism.

so it's a little like the OASIS from ready player one?

speaking of which, if I had the power, i'd totally make a game like the OASIS a reality, except with more platformer-y elements instead of first person

space engineers and space engine combined, also have the solar system fully rendered to an extent and settlements scattered around on a realistic earth

[Trogtor]

I WANT THIS BACK

IF I WERE TO CREATE A VIDEO GAME WITHOUT LIMITS IT WOULD BE A LEGO UNIVERSE REWRITTEN, LIKE TOONTOWN REWRITTEN

oops i meant lego worlds

This reminds me of another idea I had, it's basically yours but with a twist.

It's a very realistic MMO centered around just living life normally on earth. There can be stuff like wars and leaders and that kinda thing. It would begin in the stone age and the people themselves would have to figure out how to progress to eventually become a bigger and modern society. The twist is that the developer of the game would secretly have a countdown to some catastrophic event that would happen at some point. Something like a meteor that could potentially destroy the earth (but can stop if they have the technology for it) or a sudden zombie outbreak that couldn't have been prevented. Then of course the dev would see how everyone reacted to such a change after they've been living normally for the past year or however long the ages take. You only get one life per account, and after whatever "event" happens you can't make anymore accounts. If everyone dies, the game starts over from the beginning only for something else to happen at a different point in time. It would make people paranoid as hell the second time lemme tell ya that lol.

open ended star wars game with the same combat style as jedi academy, plus loads of customization like creating a lightsaber, character, movesets, stances, taunts, etc

[Drydess]

An open-world kind of RPG, except with a more modernized theme.

If The Old Republic had the Jedi Academy style gameplay, instead of its MMO semi-turn based style, then it would be the best game.

Shame that sort of gameplay never exists in an MMO. It can be disguised really quite well, like in TESO, or Fallen Earth (which has a quite cool faux-fps design, and even rewards headshots), but it is never as fluid as in a singleplayer game.

I suppose you could sacrifice the MMO aspect of TOR for that, but it would be a big shame to completely lose co-op, especially as its co-op Mass Effect style dialogue system is fantastic.

3d modelling: the first person shooter

[TheEpicRobot]

a true recreation of the half life 2 beta.

it probably wouldn't even be that good, but it'd be damn interesting to see what valve had in mind.

[Stick Man]

The ultimate sandbox. A game where you could literally do whatever you wanted.

...maybe even break free of the restraints of a computer and take the power to do whatever you wanted elsewhere...
