A cross between dinosaurs and steam punk. If you can think of something more awesome. You can have my roof.
Dinosaurs with lazers attached to them, fighting ninjas that are fighting aliens on flying pirate ships powered by steam.
If you include a break dancing Dalai Lama you can have my roof.
Maybe. I'll have to think about it. How big is this roof?

How about a game that is sort of set nowish, but you end up back in time, and you have to keep skipping forwards to get back to nowish. The game gets harder as the technology of your opponents gets more and more up-to-date.

WHOA, excellent idea dude.

OT:
Either turn of the century, set in Vienna, Paris, London, and New York. But especially Vienna, probably the most amazingly multicultural city in the world at that point.

Or, a free-roam RPG set in 50 BC Rome. I don't know why this hasn't been attempted yet, it seems like the perfect setting for an RPG with its labyrinthine politics, famous cultural setting, and deep mythology and history. You play the son or daughter of a disgraced senator and your mission in life is to restore your family's name (the obvious twist, of course, being that your father was a bad guy). As a son, you can run for office, join the military etc. As a daughter, you play more like a thief/spy/power broker since the official routes to power are closed. And you know who should make the game? Rockstar. Come on, search your heart, you know it to be true.

About 3 square meters. Its just my room not the house. That will cost you extra.

An idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while now is a world war two game (yeah, yeah, real original I know) but from an australian perspective. So that way you could do Tobruk, Kokoda, Singapore and maybe even continue on from there to Long Tan. The only thing stopping me is that I know next to nothing about video game modding and a FPS sounds way too complicated for a first project.

I would make an RPG set in Hell. The main "city" could be in the first level (limbo) and you would have to progree farther and farther into Hell. I'm going by Divine Comedy logic here.
But then everybody would call it a rip off of such and such. And won't give it a fair chance. All the reviews will sound they same and no one will formulate there own opnion about it. It'll be a pretty solid game but no one will buy it because all the trash talking everyone has given in for being a rip off even though it 10x better and solid then most other rip offs. Poor Poor game.

Then there will be the ones that get mad that's it's not an exact copy of the Divine Comedy. Even know they have never read it.

*sigh* wrong game again *sigh*

Sounds pretty good but a JRPG or western RPG?
I'm not saying I would base it off the Divine Comedy, just take inspiration from the setting. Western RPG, as they usually give you more freedom.

Wars between Greece(Spartans, Athenians etc.), Persians and eventually Romans.
Rome total war?

ot: 1800's methinks... mebbe a JTR version of manhunt ^^
That was more based about the Romans, the only part the Romans will play in this is when they come to take over Greece.

I'd make a game set during the Northern Irish troubles, that being 1969-1998.

You could play as the IRA, the British Army, the RUC, or the Loyalists.

That's copyrighted, by the way. I do plan to make this game.
Why would you want to play as the army? "Your objectives are to check cars & have stuff thrown at you by the locals that you are not allowed to shoot."

OT: The Distant future, On the moon. Why? Because i can.[/I]
I don't know why, but this post really tickled me, i couldn't help bursting out laughing.

I would like to go back about a hundred years and see how Belfast and Antrim looked but I wouldn't really want to live in any other time period from now. Love my PC, games and music too much to go back.

In the future where humanity is gone and the world is a desolate place. I don't know what the game would be though. :p

18th/19th Century, Victorian times. Add a little steampunk.

Failing that, sometime around the various wars fought by Prince Charles Edward Stewart.

Failing that, some time in ancient Japan or China - we're talking a fantasy ancient time - where people had mystic powers and gods roamed the earth, Okami style.

I have yet to see an FPS game based in the Napoleonic wars, and it'd be pretty cool I think.

Hmm... Perhaps close future, where extraterrestrials enslave humans and you're a third generation slave and get to try to fight free... Imagine Mass Effect universe, but instead you're sweeping the streets of the citadel and serving the asari tea while they try their hardest to ignore your existance... Idk.
