How Would X Game Be If Y Made It?

GenocideHeart · Jun 19, 2013

Yes, it's another insane forum game I cooked up. Simply put, a poster proposes a game or franchise, and then a developer or even a single person known for their games' style. The next poster then tries to imagine how the game or franchise would've been if that dev had been the one to develop it.

Simple enough, right? So, let's start.

GAME: Pokemon

DEVELOPER: Ninja Theory

Annnd... GO!!

Nanya · Jun 19, 2013

Well, for one thing, the pokemon would look more menacing and monsterous... Now I'm imagining Gyarados being 30 feet long and the protagonist having to run up the body while Jolteon shoots at it with lightning so you can get to the head and knock it out.

Super Smash Bros...

Developed by SNK

Nanya said:

For starters it'd be named after the iconic SNK brothers, Andy and Terry. Also, it'd contain like every SNK character ever. Think the current SSB cast is big? THINK AGAIN!

Also, it'd have much more exaggerated Final Smashes, in perfect SNK style. And the bosses like Tabuu and Master Hand would be even MORE unfair.

Next...

GAME: FIFA Soccer

DEVELOPER: Sony Santa Monica Studios (the guys who made God of War, to clarify)

Nanya · Jun 19, 2013

I am imagining quick time events with flaming soccer balls that turn people to stone and the goalee being allowed to snap necks with the referees being the final boss and new powerups found after every team while pitfalls and puzzles litter the field.

How about Final Fantasy done by...

Banpresto

Nanya said:

Everyone would call out their attacks in the hammiest possible way, and lots of hotbloodedness would flow. Also, at least one character would have a theme that overrides all ot-- TROMBE!!

Hmmm...

GAME: Mega Man

DEVELOPER: Hideo Kojima

Rising Dragon · Jun 19, 2013

Probably be 3D with crazier action, but it certainly can't be worse than what Capcom's doing now.

GAME: Halo

DEVELOPER: Retro Studios

Ordo · Jun 19, 2013

Hmm the pace would be significantly slower, with more of an emphasis on exploration than combat.

Game: Alpha Protocol

Developer: CD Projeck RED

GenocideHeart · Jun 19, 2013

Ordo said:

Even more focus on choices and consequences, and the world would be considerably fuller than in AP, which was admittedly pretty barren when you stopped and looked at it.

Hmmmm...

GAME: Persona 3

DEVELOPER: Torotoro Resistance (of Monster Girl Quest fame)

Nanya · Jun 19, 2013

Porn. Lots of porn. Even the mind rapes would be full of porn.

It would be glorious.

God of War done by Nippon Ichi Software

GenocideHeart · Jun 19, 2013

Nanya said:

Everything magic- and special move-related would be absurdly over the top. Also, there'd be Prinnies everywhere.

Oh, and Kratos would at some point be called the 'Most Badass Freakin' Spartan Ever'.

GAME: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

DEVELOPER: Cavia (the guys behind DRAKENGARD!! and Nier)

nixofcyzerra · Jun 19, 2013

Game: Call of Duty

Developer: ...Sonic Team.

Altered Nova · Jun 19, 2013

GenocideHeart said:

Gameplay would be the same, but after killing Alduin it would be revealed that the dragon were the only thing keeping reality and oblivion separated and now that you've killed them all humanity will be wiped out by daedra. Good job Dragonborn.

Game: Silent Hill 2

Developer: Harmonix

Ordo · Jun 20, 2013

Altered Nova said:

James would be a performer of some sort, and likely threw himself into his work after the death of his wife. The game would have James emplying his rythmic talents to escape the monsters that pursue him through this strange representation of his career as he searches for where he went wrong with his now dead wife.

or something like that.

I've got three for you all.

GAME: Syndicate (original)

DEVELOPER: Nippon Ichi

GAME: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

DEVELOPER: Intelligent Systems

GAME: Super Mario

DEVELOPER: Valve

Meinos Kaen · Jun 20, 2013

It would be episodic and with talented voice acting and quirky jokes, only to suddenly forget that after 2 there's supposed to be a 3 for ten years or so.

GAME: Final Fantasy VII

DEVELOPER: Naughty Dog

GenocideHeart · Jun 20, 2013

Meinos Kaen said:

The cast would be all more or less furry a la Jak & Daxter, save for Red XIII who'd be the token human. Also, there'd be a huge variety of locations and enemies would be smart. Little girls would be badass too.

And the story wouldn't have retarded plot twists that made you want to bash your skull in. :wacko:

Hmmm...

GAME: Chrono Trigger

DEVELOPER: FROM Software

Hoki · Jun 20, 2013

GenocideHeart said:

It would be mission based, with Giant Mecha. the endings would be depending on your choices on the missions.

I have two.

GAME: Final Fantasy VIII

DEVELOPER: Atlus

GAME: Dissidia Final Fantasy

DEVELOPER: Bandai-Namco

GenocideHeart · Jun 20, 2013

Hoki said:

There'd be a shit-ton of costume-based DLC. Also, at least one of the female characters would have huge knockers and wear next to nothing.

And Yoshimitsu would be a guest character.

Hmmm...

GAME: Resident Evil

DEVELOPER: Square-Enix

Nanya · Jun 20, 2013

More emo from the characters, healing items could be used on the zombies for massive damage and there'd be at least one fanservice girl and the Nemesis would have something happen to make it 20 stories tall.

Dragon Quest

By SCEI, specifically the branch that made Arc the lad games.

GenocideHeart · Jun 20, 2013

Nanya said:

It'd take at least four games to resolve the overarching plotline, and the first three would be massive FUCK YOU bad endings. Only at the end of the fourth game would you get a somewhat happy end... but most everyone is still dead.

Also, names would be funkier.

Hmmm...

GAME: Monster Girl Quest

DEVELOPER: Atlus

byakuryuu · Jun 21, 2013

GenocideHeart said:

You'd take control of a protagonist with a mysterious past or a cypher, immersed in a world where monster-people and humans live in peace. You typically live a mundane life as a student in an Academy but during your free time combat eldritch dangers alongside a gang of cute monster girls with whom you have the option to obtain social links with and level up, acquiring powerful items as you complete their routes.

Also, because of the monster girl scenario, each of them is a Goddess in disguise.

Game: Devil May Cry (Whole Franchise)

Developer: Valve

Ordo · Jun 21, 2013

You're a Doctor specilizing in Xenobiology working for a compnay that has a lot of government funding. Turns out you're subjects are being brough over from the demon realm since you're workplace sits over a hellmouth. When things go to hell, you're spared because of you're partial demon status. Now you have to get out, and that is only the beginning of your adventure.

Game: The Force Unleashed

Developer: Platnium Games

Nanya · Jun 25, 2013

80 minutes of cutscenes for 10 minutes of gameplay and would be heralded as a great game by many.

Wild Arms

Done by Sega

GenocideHeart · Jun 25, 2013

Nanya said:

Dude, Platinum Games are the guys who did Bayonetta, among others. They don't much do cutscenes, they prefer stupidly awesome and ludicrous attacks along the lines of summoning a giant fscking high-heeled boot made of HAIR to cave your face in. Or punching God so hard its spirit is ejected from its body and thrown in the Sun from beyond Jupiter's orbit.

...that'd be pretty awesome if Starkiller did that...

Anyway, Wild Arms by Sega... There'd be a lot more schizo tech. Also, the final boss would always be the same over 4 games.

And it'd still be awesomesauce.

Hmmm...

GAME: Monster Hunter series

DEVELOPER: Gainax. Yes, I went there.

EagleCeres · Jun 25, 2013

GenocideHeart said:

You (wimpy MC) will trawl across the Gainax anime inspired countries/lands/worlds and become The Great White Hooter (or is it Oppai) Hunter.
You will gain levels in Spiral Power, Beserker Rage and Mecha Jockey to use them at your leisure.
Once you capture your prey you will liberate an article of clothing (bras or pantsu optional).
Bonus points for smacking down nations/armies/heavenly/demonic creatures hell bent on monopolizing the cuties/hawt chix.
Secret route will let you pick a waifu from one of your many conquests, but be wary as they are Yandere as f$ck (yes, all of them even Nia).

Game: Ar Tonelico series
Developer: Team Ninja (original team with Tomonobu 'pizza face' Itagaki, haha!)

Hoki · Jun 26, 2013

GenocideHeart said:

Another game would be you playing as again, a wimpy protagonist, who is forced to fight giant monsters to stop them from destroying the world... or something. Your companions on this quest would be three lovely ladies consisting of an emotionless girl who would follow your orders, whatever they may be (most likely with silver hair), a brash, hot blooded redhead, and an near psychopathic meganekko, all of whom are attracted to you.

You will not understand the ending, but as consolation, the game will tell you "Congratulations!!!"
