I've said it a million times and everybody just keeps ignoring it, so I'll say it a million more;
Han Solo; Intergalactic Smuggler.
Free roaming Mass Effect style universe, voice acting from Ford himself, co-op with Chewie, fully controllable space battles with the Falcon. Set in the days before Han and Chewie joined the rebellion of course, just a good old romp around the universe, smuggling, shooting, double crossing, Hutt blasting, kessel running action.
After the millions of Star Wars games (many of them bland/terrible pices of crap) it still amazes me that this thing doesn't exist. If it didn't make like a billion sales I would be stunned.

call of duty: the kart racing edition. An alternative to running around the world shooting everybody that isn't you. It could be a great chance to improve international relations between countries by hosting kart racing events in he style of mario kart. You could use power ups like the emp and attack dogs, whoever loses the race has to give all their dastardly terrorists to the winning country.
An RPG which perfectly balances enjoyable combat (or preferred methods of play), likable and memorable characters, your own detailed character construction, minimizing tedious side-quests and statistics, an amazing story which keeps you guessing, and a sprawling open world that you have the option to explore.
There are many games like this, but few that come close.

Pretty sure that was Dredd vs Death, a co-op fps with sadly dated graphics but some cool mechanics. But yeah a modern one based off the Karl Urban movie would be pretty awesome. You could even use (sigh) Kinect for the voice activated part.kingthrall said:
I think the Harry Potter universe is begging for an mmo. It would have to be more kid friendly with puzzle mini-games during "classes" to learn spells. New areas becoming unlocked as you level up (say levels 1-10 are first years, 11-20 are second years etc) like Hogsmead etc. Instead of Guilds you'd have a "circle of friends". Duelling in hallways with jinxes etc. Possibly having the two other schools as expansion packs. Endgame is the big battle against Voldemort. People would probably even pay to play something like that. Considering the fanbase, it may even be able to give WoW a run for its money.
A Han Solo game. One where you play as the smart ass smuggler, flying from place to place in the Millenium Falcon, dodging bounty hunters, running spice for slugs and staying away from the Empire. Something done similar to Rockstar's games. Kinda like GTA or Red Dead Redemption. That would be a really fun game.
Imagine Crusader Kings 2, or EU3/4 where whenever you enter battle you are pulled down to a Mount and Blade style battle and forced to take the battle right to your foe.
It would be so glorious.

an action-oriented 3rd person 3D mega man game.
when the wii came out, i was all over this idea. a whole integrated world, with 8 distinct 'areas' with hidden, weapon based shortcuts between each and run and gun gameplay using the wii mote to target and blast but able to move at a pace near to the X games - running, jumping, dashing and jump dashing all over the place. i never could choose between classic or the X series, but given the amount of secrets in the X series, it'd be a closer fit. and no, it wouldn't be like that first person super gritty version we saw recently, but just the right balance of X gritty reploids and mechanical plants/animals with the colorful style of the X games (especially the first 3). think 3rd person metroid prime and it's pretty close.

A first-person survival horror game where the enemies are all robots in a futuristic setting like a giant factory. The robots would come in a HUGE variety of shapes and sizes and would definitely not just be constrained to humanoid enemies. Some of the robots (Namely the security models) will attack you on sight, but other robots won't actually attack you unless you attack them first and will instead just endlessly toil on with their given tasks. Sometimes robots will go haywire and will begin attacking everything in sight. You can develop hacking skills to make robots calm and non-aggressive, but hacking is risky because a wrong move will cause them to go haywire. Stealth would be an important element; you can either use it to approach robots to attack them or hack them, or you can use it to hide from dangerous robots.
The story of the game would not be the protagonist's; instead, the protagonist would witness the fall of human civilization as they try to improve themselves with machine parts, until eventually many of them went haywire and the conflicting biological and mechanical parts began to rip each other apart. You also have the option of using machine parts to increase your combat, sneaking, or hacking skills, but each upgrade will bring you closer to that same fate. You just don't know how much closer; different upgrades will affect you more, with the best upgrades tending to be very risky. There are different endings based on how you handled the robots and how much you hacked yourself apart to improve yourself, but there is no indication of a sort of morality system. All of the endings do not turn out rosy for the protagonist, but that's just life.
Why will this game never happen? Look up the genre Survival Horror. :-/

A more than decent pirate game.
I caught a glimpse of it in Assassins Creed 3. Teasing me, mocking me, showing me what could be.
But is it ever going to happen? Probably not.
Shiver me timbers.
