fuck you guys, we need levicars!(sounds like unlimited altitude as opposed to hovercars)
I thought game were supposed to be fun, and unless you beat me to it i will make game in 32nd century populated by advanced robot society that among others has levicars and imitated lightsabers.

I thought this was going to be a serious article. Then I realized it was RPS.

You should do a serious one. Then I might leave a nicer comment.

If there was a god, he would be Mulatu Astatke!

I want a new Pilotwings game or something similar (i.e. blantant rip off). Best sensation of flying, without necessarily being best simulation of flying something. Would be even better if you could shoot down / blow up other flyers such as hang gliders, planes and (as someone mentioned)explodable hot air balloons.

I took my 4 year old daughter to an art show that included that creepy hand/bird thing.

She literally couldn’t look at it, or even talk about it…!

Funny about the jazz; I used to listen to Lou Donaldson’s The Righteous Reed whilst playing Delta Force.

Biology (no not that aspect) -

Proper ecosystems with animals and plants that interact with each other somewhat realistically (doesn’t have to be genuinely realistic, that would be staggeringly complex). So animals hunt each other, reproduce, go about in groups if appropriate, that sort of thing. Plants grow and die, providing the timescale makes sense for that.

Basically I like worlds that feel alive, and most importantly feel complete even if I The Player was not there and had never existed. This idea can work in nearly any genre, but I think would most obviously benefit open-world RPGs and involved strategy games. It would be magic to pan over a living, breathing world, not just another sandbox with different colouring.

# Flooded cities (the ‘new’ version of post-nuclear-apocalypse).
# Scuba diving (with realistic bouyancy, air, lines, equipment, decompression, currents, lighting etc).
# Afro-beat.
# Massive game worlds integrated with Google-maps, Wikipedia, Spotify and user-produced content (games-as-browsers/browsers-as-games).
# “Ironic” pork-pie hats and beards (punchable)
# Charlie Brooker
# Islamist terrorist anti-heros

For #10 make that a open world FPS where you fly around with a jetpack. And T-rexs in F14s chase you.

@Ginger
There is actually a survival game set in the New World. It’s by the same guys who made that flash game Mud and Blood. It’s flash too but it’s downloadable and still only in Alpha:

More art galleries. I base this only off the one in Planescape, but that one was a fantastic way to reveal the wider setting without cramming it down your throat.
