Ah, sweet salty tears. Good...good...
Anyway:

Metal Gear Solid. Ya know, but with Kojima and good. Obviously not gonna happen, but if Konami wasnt a total piece of shit, they -could- give it to someone with respect to Kojima and actual passion. Id start with a remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2 that turns the two plots into one game more like the Solid games while also updating the plot to fit in. Would be a good way for them to prove MGS is in good hands or not.
I thought of listing Metal Gear initially, but stopped short, considering that the last installment I played was Snake Eater, and that from what I've seen, it feels redundant to continue the story after Guns of the Patriots (which I know Revengence does, but that makes me dislike it even more). But as rare as this is for me, I could certainly get behind remakes for the original games.

Also, fuck it, Dead Space - EA's pretty much killed the franchise anyway (SO SMART setting it's sale goals to be more than the combined total of the previous titles after revamping the gameplay focus that people liked from the first two games), and it being incompatible with the latest console generation gives it room for a revival. Shit, just give the first one a HD polish and re-release it, that'll do. God damn.
Also considered Dead Space, but embarrassingly, as far as the actual games go, only played the first. I'm aware that the series ends on a cliffhanger, but didn't seem right to include it from a personal perspective.

I don't know how Rockstar divides it's resources
From what I understand they basically focus on one project at a time.

For the latter, I kept expecting to see a new game come out in the 'Days of Ruin' timeline linking it to the original trilogy by having Tabitha and Waylon found Black Hole and Will & Co. found the other nations.
That's not a bad idea, but I don't see it happening. I don't think the map shown in Days of Ruin corresponds to any of the landforms we see in the original games. I can get the idea of Tabitha founding Black Hole, if only because Stolos relied on automatons, and there is the possibility that a lot of Black Hole's technology is automated (if only because unlike the other nations, you never see infantry/pilots in control of the vehicles, only the vehicles themselves. Still, I'd prefer to keep the two settings separate, if only to prevent tonal whiplash.

The Lost Vikings. Blizzard apparently cares enough to give it cameos and references in both Warcraft and Starcraft as well as hire Gilbert Gottfried and Jim Cummings to voice the PC remake, but not enough to ever give us a third game. Probably because they know there would be pressure to make it 3D, which might not work with its style of puzzle-platforming.
I think it might be more due to the fact that a lot of Blizzard's focus is on multiplayer, and hasn't had a singleplayer-only game since Lost Vikings 2. There's also the idea of them focusing development on a small number of key games and keep releasing content for them. Lost Vikings doesn't really fit in with that model. Which is a bit of a shame I guess, but hey, they are in HotS...

Homeworld. I lub me some Homeworld, it's probably in my top 5 games of all time, at the very least the top 10 for sure. Few games have triggered so many emotional responses from me in such a short time, as the first Homeworld game. And then Homeworld: Cataclysm came out, and did it even better. Homeworld 2 was...meh, frankly disappointing, but I still enjoyed it to some degree. I want more in this universe, more more more.
Doesn't Deserts of Kharak count? I know it's a prequel, but my understanding was that it more or less revived the series.

I'm personally of the opinion that, with the exception of Metroid Prime and possibly Zero Mission (which is a remake anyway), the series should've stopped after Super Metroid. Basically what I'm saying is I didn't like Fusion.
Yeah...I can't see that working well. Granted, Fusion is my favorite Metroid game, but if the series had stopped with Super Metroid, I imagine people would be clamouring for a continuation. Super Metroid does cap off its own game, and arguably its own trilogy (rise and demise of the metroids), but Fusion feels like far more of a book-ender. IMO, Super Metroid is to Halo 3 what Fusion is to Halo: Reach - the trilogy ender vs. the series ender.
