You have a development team of 1,000,000 people... What game do you have them create?

[Thundero13]

virtual reality, every video game/TV show/movie/real life person/etc. EVER! & you can have sex with any of them ^.^
ok seriously though that pokemon idea sounds pretty good, take that and put in millions of (possible) acheivments and have it contain ALL the pokemon places from all the games & spin-offs & anime places.

 

[Fenrir Strife]

First make a better console. Second, use my massive budget to buy character rights. TO EVERYTHING. Third, taking Super Smash Bros. Melee as a base, improve graphics and expand control scheme, movesets, tactics, strategies, etc to a level worthy of the the best of any given series (With no tripping mechanic, obviously). Then, each of my team chooses 3 characters from any existing game. Develops them. Sticks them all into the game, balance be damned. Set up gameplay able to handle 4 teams of 4, with any combination of player-characters and CPU- controlled characters. Basically make the worlds biggest beat'em up.

 

[Wintermoot]

a PC HD remake of steel battalion that is shipped with a 1/1 scale cockpit also it,s mod friendly
with stages set IN SPACE
(I sadly never played SB but I,m a Real Robot fan and you can,t get more realistic then SB)
also it would have a online MP that also supports said mod,s (stuff like soundpacks and re-skins would remain client side but stuff like additional mech,s will be uploaded to the server)

 

[FalloutJack]

The most magnificent evil game in the universe: The Dark Dominion.

Single Player Mode!
MMO servers!
Massive sandbox adventure!
Space exploration and combat!
Fantasy and sci-fi elements combined!
Really. Kick-ass. Villains.

"Welcome to the Dark Dominion... How did you GET here in my lair anyway? Oh, I see what you're trying to do. You want to thwart me and take over, or 'save the land', or even screw around in a manner that makes me hate you. Well, I've got news for you, fella. There IS no evil plan. I own this world, rule this realm, and so on. If you want to go make a storyline about defeating the Brethren of the Dark Power, go right ahead. I DARE YOU! See what you get..."

It's a game that doesn't judge you. NPCs might remember you, beat you down, stab you in the back, and whatnot, but this is a badass realm that makes some evil...look pretty good. Character dynamics would be wide and varied...and tested out in an I SWEAR I'm not cheating!" battle with the head-honcho himself, then you get drop-kicked into the world and go have some fun.

 

[ArnarI]

Elder scrolls + Mount and Blade set in the Song of Ice and Fire Universe

 

[Aardvark Soup]

A million people?! No thanks, that will be awfully hard to coordinate. Also, just imagine what your game will need to sell in order to pay all these people's salaries...

 

[GameMaNiAC]

Fallout 4. It takes place in the WHOLE wasteland. And the story takes about 500 hours to complete.

 

[Ham_authority95]

In other words... You basically have unlimited funds and development time.

Your allowed to make one game. What do you make? You don't need to describe it in amazing detail, just... What type of game?

For example, here's my pick. An open world Pokemon game.

"What... WHAT!?" I hear you say. No, it's true. I've wanted it since I was a little kid.
Just picture this, it's like GTA... but without the blood everywhere.

You just walk around and talk to other people and trade items, Pokemon and more with other players.

Then you just go out into the open wilderness and hunt for Pokemon etc, etc. I won't bore your with this any longer as I imagine you get the point by now.

Anyway... your turn.

An FPS-MMO where there are two factions who are at war and they fight for territory and resources on a scale that is 100x more involved than the Horde-Alliance battles in WOW. It will be completely PVP based and the players actions will directly effect the story-line.

That may just require a budget of $100 million.

 

[I am 2 cool 4 anime]

easy,i give half of the team to Yahtzee he makes his own game,then I just make a kinect special ops shooter,where you get play as all players in the amry,(all classes)but when you think you are over with the trilling story of the 6 solider's you get to play as the stealth-y ciber ninja(not riden,the ninja has knives but they are like lightsaber's)with who you battle trough cool enemy's,but at the end you descover that....

Spoiler

YOUR FATHER WAS YOUR MOTHER WHO WAS YOUR BROTHER,WHO WAS BORN THE DAY YOU FONDED OUT THAT YOUR FATHER WAS YOUR MOTHER WHO WAS YOUR NEW BORN BROTHER!Lol

 

[crop52]

nothing, fire my entire team, horde all the money, and laugh at the poor people, as i fly away to alpha centauri, watching as my super missile blows up the earth, then become king of the far under developed aliens, and live happily ever after,

 

[MrCollins]

A modernish-but-not-too-modern realistic-but-not-quite-so Shooter based in Generic-politically-correcti-stan with and an online mode which is eerily similar-but-not-so-close-as-to-by-copyright-infringement to game that rhythms with a fish that is also know as Gadus.

It's the most original idea ever
i will beat the games industry at their own game.

 

[SlyderEST]

As someone already pointed out (I believe it was the creator of Spelunky), I'd make a game of everything.

 

[JambalayaBob]

Considering that organizing 1,000,000 developers would be horrendously impossible, I wouldn't be able to make any games. Now, if I were able to handpick teams of them out of that huge crowd of a million, I would. And then I would make games that nobody thinks possible yet. Games that I can't think of because the sheer awesomeness would be enough to shatter the fabric of reality. And then we wouldn't need to make any more games because if all of the developers were really good, there would then be about 10,000 universe destroyingly amazing games. Plus, the universe would be gone, and if it wasn't, then nobody would ever get through all 10,000 games anyways.

 

[Royta]

Pretty much what the TC said.
I want a 3d Pokemon game with the following:

- an invade system like in demon's souls
- all the regions from all the gba games in full 3d.
- quick animations, i don't want to wait 1 minute for that damn hyperbeam animation to finish.
- great customisation of your trainer
- day night system and event system as in Silver.
- ONE version.

That's it. I'd play that for the rest of my life.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

A true to life sniping game.

Like Ghost Warrior, but way better.

 

[Dumori]

I would biuld an Ark ala Brink and the ideas it got that from and teh build a orbital laucnhing system over the ocen to make easy space launches. Then with an array of satalites laucnhed cheaply I would build a massive MMOARG that the whole world is playing. With the aim of amkign every part of life part of a game leading to a Utopian society. It wont work that way but its a dream.

That or I'd piuck the best group for the core 1,000,000 to find a way to perfectly run a dev team of 1,000,000 and the have aweseome fun.

 

[Antidrall]

I'd have them make The Battle of Ragnarok. not a single thing would be changed from the original story and it would be a dating sim.

 

[Alphavillain]

Assassin's Creed: World.

 

[Alphavillain]

An "Assassin's Creed" with the whole world mapped out and a story that goes on for ever.
