Picture the scenario. You’re an eccentric billionaire surrounded by opulent wealth. Money has lost all meaning; you can buy literally anything. But, there’s only so many times you can pop onto Amazon and buy a swanky new telly before boredom sets in. The real excitement is in buying, or funding, the impossible.
So, you have your billions, and you have your dream - to totally fund the development of absolutely any game you want. It could be a new IP, it could be based on a beloved movie, or it could be a sequel to a beloved franchise. The point is, you can fund the creation of whatever you want. But what would you dream game announcement be?
I’ll get the ball rolling, although I find this quite a tough one as we’ve had some great announcements lately for some of my favourite franchises. I never thought I’d live to see a Shenmue III, for example, or Luigi’s Mansion 3, so I’ve got plenty of reason to be hyped.
But for me, it’s got to be a new Dino Crisis. It would be made in the RE Engine used for Resident Evil 7 and would be pure survival horror with deadly dinosaurs. I'd throw my millions at Capcom in a heartbeat.
I’d also be more than happy with a Jurassic Park version of this concept, perhaps stuck on a massive version of Isla Nublar and evading raptors in the undergrowth. But Dino Crisis would be the dream announcement, mainly because it seems so possible. Capcom really got back on track with Resident Evil 7 and they could work some absolute magic with the claustrophobic terror of being trapped with a dinosaur. Surely... surely it has to be on the agenda.
But now it's over to you, my fellow eccentric billionaires - what would you dream game announcement be? If you could fund any project whatsoever, what would you get them working on?

Waiting for total overdose 2 or maybe bully 2 or maybe new half life or maybe ...........i should end this now.
PC Specs
Haven't played half life but I'd love the other 2
Also a new portal, bioshock and midnight club would be great
PC Specs
A new Parasite Eve game would be great, that is if most of the original devs who worked on the first one are involved. SE's current devs make boring games.
PC Specs
A good Final Fantasy like the old days... from sakaguchi and Uematso... like 7, 8, and 9... not the FF garbage of these days...
Just give me ff7 with unreal ungine and don't touch anything else...
PC Specs
Dino Crisis 3 or 2 remastered, a proper Star Wars KotOR 3 singleplayer like the other 2, a Syphon Filter, a Japanese Assassin's Creed, a good Gothic, plus others I can't remember now. Another silent game that came out which I wasn't expecting was X4, which I might try soon, but it's a deep game for which I don't have as much time to spare as I'd wish.
PC Specs
I would be making my own original game and i'll be hiring naughty dog, cd project, namco, and a couple of more studios.
PC Specs
I would love a diablo 2 remaster/remake, that game stole too many hours off me and i want some of that nostalgia back, with a new flare.

Complete and perfectly optimized Star Citizen

That might take a while.

-Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 together, releasing on PC. I'd love to see that.
-another Mass Effect game. Bioware have been hinting at it...or maybe they're just toying with us. But at least they still celebrate N7 day and even acknowledge that it'd been a decade since the original game was released...unlike Valve, with the Half-Life series, who let all hope for it completely evaporate.
-I'd love to see that recently released Spider-Man game on the PS4 come to PC. That'll never happen, because of the publisher, but hey, that's what dreams are for!
PC Specs
Mafia 4 (in collab with Rockstar perhaps) :D

-A real Fallout Sequel (with the gloom atmoshpere of Fallout 3, the deapth of New Vegas, and the graphics of Battlefield 5 FFS!)
PC Specs
fallout sequel thats good? Don´t you mean The other worlds by obsidian? As for gloomy atmoshpere look no farther then february 15 when metro exodus releases.
PC Specs
Don't hold your breath with any IP Bethesda develops because they've been going downhill since Oblivion in the development department. If it wasn't for mods to save their games then they'd be up ....'s creek.
PC Specs
Remakes of the old ps2 Socom games where the online, AI, performance, and graphics are improved drastically. Those games had so much potential and were so much fun, but they were bogged down by all of those things.
PC Specs
A good goldeneye 007 remake, would that be too much to ask?
I know, rights and such.
