Games you'd like to see (sequels, adaptations or concepts)

I want Fallout set in the southern end of Downtown Kansas City. Yes, I'm biased from living there, but honestly the landscape seems perfect. There's a river, big buildings, more open areas, an eiffel-sized freestanding TV tower, and a literal underground vault already in place. Since KC is more dense than, say, Las Vegas or Washington, you could actually include nearly all the major buildings, locations, and architecture in a single map without having to cut out big portions, replacing them with rubble.
The environment seems like an easy cinch to adapt into a game.
de_la_Nae:
That doesn't sound bad.
i wasn't entirely kidding with my last suggestions for Fallout games, including Mumbai or some other *non-American* city.
Also Elder Scrolls: Akavir when?
A few other game ideas I've had kicking around my head for a long time, but the main one I'd like is for Ubisoft et al to go back and unfuck Assassin's Creed. My shortened explanation is that they mishandled the Desmond/near-future Earth story and content so badly that it's a crying a shame.

I think that'd be really difficult to pull off, since there's very little (If any, I'm not aware of any) Fallout lore for what happened outside of America once the bombs dropped. We know Russia and China were warring, and they probably got nuked as well, (And we can assume most first-world countries were, too,) but they'd still be building up culture from scratch. It might be cool, but the setting (And therefore tone, etc.) would be so vastly different that I'm not sure it would feel like a Fallout game. (Then again, I'm a huge fan of the SPECIAL system and Fallout mechanics as much as I am the lore and setting, so that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.)
Now that I think about it, I'd also like to see a remake of Super Mario Sunshine, with all the care and attention it needed. The main platforming mechanics are some of the best I've ever seen in a game, but nearly all of the extra content and a lot of the main content just feels horribly balanced. Not to mention, it has half the number of main levels that Super Mario 64 has. The graphics are great (For their time, at least,) the earlier platforming challenges are great, the Fludd is great... I have absolutely no doubt that with another six months or year of development time, it could easily have been the best Mario game in the series. As it is, it's a decent platformer with shoddy extra content and a lot of broken levels. (Pachinko, anyone?)
Similarly, I'd like to see Wind Waker remade with a few more dungeons and less fetch quests. Wind Waker didn't have near the issues that Sunshine did and it's one of my favorite games in the series (Behind Majora's Mask, though I haven't played all the games so that's not a comprehensive comparison), but I do think that a little more development time could have helped it too.

There is some indication that the rest of the world got blasted as well. If for no other reason no other countries have interacted with North America in the last 200 years. You would think they would either send humanitarian aid or an invasion force. China certainly got blasted by the US nukes. Some NPCs in Fallout 3 at least hint the fact that Europe was in pretty bad shape before and at least shortly after the war. No idea what it could be like now.
Mostly though the Fallout series has been very US centric, with a fair bit of the style influenced by the retro-50s Americana sci fi aesthetic. To realistically set a game in another part of the world would mean drastically changing or dropping that style... At which point would it be all that different from a STALKER game or something else post apocalyptic. For that reason I doubt we'll ever see a Fallout game set outside of North America, if it ever leaves the US.
That said, Massachusetts seems the most likely setting for a potential Fallout 4, if speculation is at all accurate. And I'm happy with that. I want to know more about the Institute.
de_la_Nae:
Oh hell yes it's unlikely, for all the reasons cited.
still want it though~
p.s. I'm okay with Fallout: New England. Assuming it's significantly identifiable as different than the Capital Wasteland.
