You just got a billion dollars, what game would you make with that money? What developer would you hire to make your game? What will the game revolve around?
Will it be good?
game? fuck games i am going on vacation

I'd hire an animator for the guy doing that monster girl island, maybe a modeller for him too, but he seems alright for that.
I'd make a game that simulates shitposting on /v/.
I'll call it Shitposting Simulator 2016.
Give it to a rich man
Poor people having this much money would just ruin the economy

>>339484042
>poor people having this much money would ruin the economy
Are you retarded?
If some idiot had a billion dollars dropped in their lap they would be spending it on frivolous shit, thus stimulating the economy.
The rich person would dump a billion dollars into a savings account or some shit.
I'd set up a foundation that sponsors indie developers and very small teams.
Each developer would have to present their game idea to me and I'd decide if it's worth sponsoring, and then they would get enough money to for food, rent and internet for an amount of years so they could focus their entire time on working on their own vision.
The condition would be monthly reports of progress and giving their game away for free when it's done.
>>339484065
I'll make a game in which funneling the money towards my account instead of game development is the game itself.faggot
Virtual reality genetically engineered catgirls for domestic ownership life sim in order to build interest for real life genetically engineered catgirls for domestic ownership.
I guess I'll hire Gust to do it.
It will be so good that humanity goes extinct.

Star Trek RPG

Exploring the Mirror Universe.This setting lends itself more to a game than the Prime Universe.
/v/ will hate it with a passion so yes.
Hire a team of extremely talented video game developers, gather them all at a table, slap down drawings of my OCs onto the table and say "Here, these are going to be the main characters, now make a game based around them, I will supervise you all on your progress."
When the game comes out everyone will praise me for my flawless writing skills and my OCs will become an icon in video games and fiction in general.
>>339484425
>calls me retarded

No. You're retarded.
I could understand in the case where everyone was given one billion dollars, but in that case the economy is fucked regardless because the value of the dollar goes to shit.

>>339484640

>buttcoin?
No inherent value. Be nice if it was backed by something but it's not.
Anyway, I'd probably make a game featuring racial domination + segregation + eugenics, the proper taming of women so that they were housewives instead of voters, CGI child porn (which is legal in a few countries, but not legal in most), full of swastikas and holocaust truthing, pictures of prophet Mohammed, positive depictions of recreational drug use, and I'll also put in some GLBT positivity and reddit integration because might as well trigger /pol/ as well.

Blatantly copy Serious Sam, but add a procedurally generated open world system with crafting, base building, loot progression and RPG elements. Fuck it I don't care. So long as there isn't any "Press X to awesome" bullshit.

Yes make Serious Sam's 100 enemies on screen and constantly dodge projectiles and prioritise targets gameplay into a MOBA. With a procedurally generated open world that has crafting and base building elements. Couldn't give a fuck.

The remake would combine the two into one game, would retain the turn based dungeoneering and puzzle aspects of L2 while introducing a hybrid ATB system that would make the combat more active and tactical. The art style would be converted into a 3d world with a Valkyria Chronicles-esque watercolor feel, but purely western fantasy designs, like the original concept art for L2. Pic related.

Make Gundam Build Fighters a reality
A sci-fi RPG empire builder game.
seeing as I have a billion USD to work with that forces the games scale to automatically be much larger than your standard game.
Imagine this, You start out With a fully randomly generated homeworld. Cities, Important people, even some parts of the major quest line in the local area and greater galaxy are all generated based on preferential variables set by the player that give certain things a greater chance of happening or being in this play through. (Think something like how government ethos in stellaris affects which research is more likely to popup)
The player gets a bit of a static start as your general "adventurer" job type with their face not being revealed as they go into the galactic registration center where they go through the normal character creation process where they also allocate points into the varrious main and sub categories (There is a list of predetermined classes that can speed this up if someone doesnt want to bother)
After getting all certified and going through the main intro cutscene outlining how the galaxy is yours for the taking and blah blah blah you go outside to meet your first companion. they are going to be important down the line for reasons I'll get into.
So with this game you have a true sandbox. You can start off by immeditly getting involved in your homeworlds military and going down the quest line of a militarist. You could simply take your small dinky ship and work up an enormous trade empire while dealing with varrious factions that get pissed off when you trade with their enemies (also piracy). Speaking of piracy you could become a pirate lord and ransom out powerful lords to amass a vast fleet of the scum of the galaxy. You could become a leader of people, using your charisma to build anew nation from the ground up and beat back the other powers.
And during this whole game you can move around as your individual character.

whichever path you take you are going to be building an empire of some type (unless you go the murderhobo route which is totally viable but you wont get to see much happen in reality)
through your quests you will pick up numerous companions that can betray you if they view you with enough hatred. Now this is an important part of the game because you obviously cant please everyone so you will be forced to deal with lets say a rouge planetary governor who not but a month ago was your best friend, perhaps a local branch of your trade empire isnt paying what it should and you have to confront the fat sweaty alien you hired to manage it all only to discover he was killed and someone you thought you killed took it over for revenge.
The empire building part of it is very literal, you can find any place to set down ( except the major populated ones) and start your life anew. Mind you proximity to other power affects how they deal with you for example setting up a pirate base in the middle of a densly populated region of space would see your ass bent over extremely fast because you can either spend 24/7 defending it or just moving it elsewhere (Because eventually even with the best defences money can buy it will eventually die). This can also be a benefit though, building a trade post in a populated region can see great profits.
Every action has long reigning ripples in this game, Maybe a disgruntled farmer hired some mercs to gun you down because when you were orbital bombarding a pirate base for the military a stray round blew up his cow pen?
the scale and actions and ammount of attention to detail is something Ive always wanted in a game. just my 2 cents.
I'd spend all of it on getting Free Radical back together and replace anyone that doesn't want to or is dead. I'd have them remake all 3 original Timesplitters into one mega game (sorta like Rewind.) Then make Timesplitters 4 without any DLC. I'd release it on the boner, PS4, and PC.
I would bring back every talented individual who was ever on project: aces and make the greatest Ace Combat ever. I'm talking millions of dollars spent on an engine that could hold hundreds of players dogfighting with thousands of AI, with even more millions spent on optimizing, so we could all fight to become the demon lord of the round table.
>>339483358
I'd hire Blizzard. That's it.
Because even if the game is pure and absolute shit, it would still rake in unbelievable ammounts of money.
>>339489649
i'm not fat.
>>339484949
Games would be way more lucrative than real estate and stocks. Some post just mentioned that the Witcher 2 was some 10M. ..Games like Stalker, apparently $1M for the whole series. AAA quality can be produced for almost nothing, especially now that engines are almost free (UE4 asks for somthing like 5% of actual profits). A company not producing an OG engine massively reduces production costs.
Anyway, $10M per game for $1B is 100 games. If you can't make a grand slam with 100 games..

Large scale ww2 game revolving around amphibious invasion of an island near greece or italy and attu. Defenders set up machine gun nests, artillary, trenches, etc. while attackers must bombard shore island with naval artillary and attempt to form a beach head within a certain amount of time to win. Attackers win by taking all of island while defenders win by destroying beachhead. Damage is realistic along with environmental damage (explosions cause craters, trees splinter, etc.) Defenders could destroy bridges and booby trap routes forcing attackers to build bridges, new roads, etc. Also players would be split into realistic groups (fireteams, squads, platoons, battalion, brigade) with communication reliant on radio (a general must radio leaders below him who must radio leaders below them to give messages to players).
Complex strategy game in the vein of Civilization, and very accurate to real life.Also every nation is monstergirls, with every variant of monstergirl/kemonomimi.

I just looked up some local property prices. $24k for 15 acres.
A mud-brick compressor is $2k. That could press out enough for a house in a day. Let's pretend that we have 8 neets all trying to have a house, which is plenty more than 1 acre per (in size, an acre is about 70% of an American football field with its end zones, or 16 tennis courts 4x4). Each neet would have almost a football field and a half; or it could be a tight nit community area with a huge "back yard".
Let's pretend we get 2 compressors, with 4 neets lining 2 houses with the bricks. That's some 2 houses per day. So, now we have 15 acres, 8 houses without electricity or plumbing, and $24k. That's ludicrously inexpensive. Picture relevant, my ziggurat.

Warcraft IV. I don't really know, perhaps I'd give Blizzard a chance to redeem themselves and revive the rts market. I'd keep the eye on the production though.

I could only make a deal with them.
I'd also buy out Taleworlds only to help them in developing multiplayer in adventure map in M&B Bannerlord. Give them funds and experts if they need help with tech.

I'd buy DF, give it lots of improvement on UI/graphic aspect before making toadys roadmap come true, create an alternate cyberpunk version, and create a FPS/RPG from there.
Or a AAAA quality porn game
Or maybePressure

If it was put into vidya, the posts about startup studios or inexpensive games is a decent idea. $1B is 100 $10M games. Toss $1M of that into like 100 mobile games, and bam.

>They won't sell.
who cares ? the whole point is to make a game that cater to you, not to the herds of casual faggots games are usually marketed towards
>>339498672
yeah, fallout is going downhill again, make a new post-apocalyptic game, it's not like that's hard
fallout just has nostalgia but that doesn't mean much when the series is going to shit

I'd double Star Citizen's budget then get off my face on fine wine all day erryday in a Tuscan villa until it came out.

Buy a house
Buy a couple cars
That's a couple millions at most.
Put most of it to win interests, and live a comfy life.
Also a candy room on my house and all the vydia stuff.
I'd make this sort of comfy gun-for-hire simulator I've been fantasizing about lately.
>First person, set in a big city with a rural area on the outskirts
>You work for a worldwide group that employs freelancers all over the world
>Clients post what they need done and you're notified of jobs in your area
>Company policy forbids you from conducting business during daylight hours
>During the day you can go around town, buy gear, customize your apartment/vehicle/etc
>At night you go out to work
>Some jobs are simple like disposing of a car or a dead body, others may be low-profile assassinations or kidnappings
>There are a couple of other company agents in the area who you can befriend or antagonize (both carry rewards; if you max out friendship with them they give you something, and if you make enemies with them they'll try to kill you and you'll get something different for killing them).
>One of them is a /pol/+/k/ type who grew up in a militia compound in Montana
>I got the idea while I was out driving at night and that's what a lot of the game would be
>You're at your apartment, it's dusk, your computer beeps and you see a message
>There's a corpse in a red sedan parked by the stadium, client wants it gone
>Drive out there to pick it up, going to take it out to the sticks and dump it in the water
>Before leaving you call your redneck gun-nut friend and ask him to come pick you up and give you a lift back
>"You got it, bud."
>Spend all night driving the back roads out to the middle of nowhere and dump the car
>A few minutes later the guy shows up in his giant SUV
>"Hop in, man"
>He drives you back to where you left your car, blasting heavy metal the whole way
>Say goodbye and drive home to go to bed

man that image is old
I guess this qualifies as a Vidya Idea Thread.
>You are some faggot, game has minor customization features, male/female, some hair styles, a few outfits.
>You go to the airport
>As you walk through the door, all hell breaks loose, some sort of Terrorist bomb
>Spreads some sort fo disease throughout the Airport
>You hide away in a cafe, everyone else is flipping shit trying to escape
>Military shows up and blockades the whole facility, no planes in or out, no people in or out, kill everyone on sight exiting
>Later that day, when everything is said and done, you emerge from the Cafe, a few scarce goods on you
>The whole place is a wreck, for a few reasons
>People started flipping shit and breaking everything as the toxins wracked their bodies and transformed them into some sort of mutated zombie... thing
>Other people started flipping shit as the toxin altered their mind, turning into some sort of Nazi faction who wish to subjugate the rest of the Airport for some reason
>Third group went insane and became a pack of cultists
>The fourth group was totally annihilated by some monster
>Each group inhabits a different ~1/4 of the airport
>You have to survive in this shithole until you die or escape, somehow
>You could join any faction sans the Monster to make your life easier
>Play the factions into killing each other, etc.
>Almost everything you do has an impact, in one way or another
>The main game's goal is escape, but if you join a faction, it changes to: kill everyone else, kill everyone else, or complete Summoning Ritual respectively
>You can kill everyone if you feel like it
>Each faction has various snippets of information that tell you about what the fuck happened, from work logs in the Nazi fortress, to memories of the Mutants, to heresay from the Cultists, to audio logs in the Terminal of the Beast
Blah blah blah, first-person survival horror.
I would try to make a bunch of smaller games. none of this open world MMo VR bullshit. Hire platinum to make a beat em up original game for 15 mil, hire From for a new armored core, andhire the entire Age of Empires team back and buy the rights from Microsoft for my AoE 4 and 5 like the manual promised me
>>339500627
Age of Empires is dead.
>>339500771
not with a billion dollars it isn't
5 million into making a super high quality shotacon dating-sim action rpg.
the other 995 million into marketing.
I want everyone and their mothers to talking about this game and playing it, and then I'm just gonna wait for all the imitators to pop up and try to copy the forced success.
A new golden age.
I'd still continue working on my pride and joy game by myself and now have a billion to live off of.
I'm not hiring artists and musicians when I can do all the work myself.

Instantly, retards eat up survival anything.
If anything, it may pull a controversy similar to Hatred in America because of the "muh terror" thing, which all but assures success in the "getting on Steam" department.

if microsoft with all their money and creativity couldn't bring back AoE, why do you think you can?
>superhero sandbox
>create your character, costume, choose your powers from a wide selection

>the jobs would be things that would have out and about doing stuff (deliveryman, beat cop, taxi driver, etc)
>Game starts with the accident that gives you your powers
>You have to choose how to balance your normal life with your superhero life
>can try to just go on with your life, only stepping in when you stumble onto crimes, can try to be normal by day and a hero by night, or can drop your old identity and go hero full-time
>city has strict anti-vigilantism laws so cops will be after you. If you have a good rep, avoid casualties and so, cops will barely mess with you, if you're crazy and violent they'll shoot to kill, going full-time will also make them crack down more
>There's a large pool of pre-designed villains
>Villains range from glorified thugs with powers to full-on masterminds
>Every once in a while, one of these villains will be randomly selected to go active
>If it's one of the weaker guys they may just rob a bank or go on a rampage and you'll have to stop them
>When the higher-tier ones appear, they will have more complex goals and plans that will require a lot more time to stop, and may have lower-tier villains working for them too
>There's also a pool of pre-designed other heroes who can start to pop up, some will already be active when you get your powers
>Can team up with them and call them in for back-up, or if you're a dick to them you may become rivals, and if you're a giant psycho whirlwind of death they may try to take you down
>For the sake of having an endgame, there's one apocalyptically powerful villain who will appear only when all of the other major plots have been beaten

Beat'em Up/Fighting Game
Arc System
The game would revolved around cute girls and most manly men + some fuck boys going after legendary treasure using some legendary treasure on them.
The reveal is that the legendary treasures belong to ayylmaos and are wmd's made by the ayylmaos who fought on a war on the main castplanet. The protagonists journey was started by an ayylmao who plans on resurrecting their race and starting a genocidal war against Humans with other ayylmaos trying to stop them along with the cast of the game.
Also anime tiddies would be in it and a MC male who doesn't give fucks and just captures ayylmaos.

>a billion dollars

who gives a shit
I'll just live, it's gonna turn into one of those comedy flicks where the protagonist is doing his best living well while trying to hide that he has all the money.

where's that page from?
I'd spend it all making a metroidvania-platformer with a deep story, because I've wanted to do that since childhood and no amount of indie oversaturation is going to stop me.

This
Live a modest life with billions to your name, don't make yourself a target, and have good security, you spend less, and live off your fortune for the rest of your life.
I invest it all in an index fund that generates me $100 million each year and use $50 million of that to create roughly 100,000 shit, pixel indie titles each year until the world drowns in indie garbage thus ushering a new era of video gaming.
At which point I start seriously developing games, developing a single, groundbreaking title each year that costs $50 million.
Then, I reveal that I have been simultaneously spending several millions per year investing in new technologies that by 2040 will have resulted in the waifu age, its primary purpose to determine, once and for all, how and why asuka > rei.
also, dark souls combat for people that will inevitably ctrl + f that in this thread.
An anime style arena fighter.
Something with a fun and deep fighting system, where every character feels unique and the terrain matters. I want complex and unorthodox fights, while still being fun and giving the players a space to tryout and test out characters abilities in new and interesting ways. It's a fighting game, but characters would have moves that aren't always strictly for fighting. I want the players to find ways to use these weird utility moves to help them achieve victory. I want players to think "hmm i can't beat this other guy in a direct fight, maybe I'll run away and set a trap"
Something like dark souls pvp(the good natural kind, where one invader fights one host and he uses the level to his advantage) where terrain matters
overwatch style "heroes" where everyone plays very differently
And a battle shounen style power system, where everyone has some unique skills and abilities and the players job is to find ways to apply them in big complex arena fights.
But at it's heart it needs to still be a deep fighting game with lots of room for players to improve. That's important too. I'd hope the game would have enough variety that something like tier list can't be made for it because of how different and incomparable all the characters are, while still being relatively balanced.
I'd pay Team Ico to make a Shadow of the Collossus remake (not an HD remaster). It would Ideally be on PC and PS4 (maintaining at least 30 FPS in battle and 60 FPS while exploring on console with 1080p), Every collossus would be reimagined, but still resemble their original designs (Quadratus would still be a ram, but have a new design and battle), the cut 8 Collossi would be rebalanced and added, and 8 new collossi would be at it, Doubling the original collosi amount. You would be able to fight the collossi in any order, but your sword will always point to the next one in order of the shrine's statue placement. The overworld would be expanded, making use of areas such as the beta dam, and the oceans in the far east. The game has dungeons consisting of puzzles but no enemies, some dungeons have collossi in them (think Barba and Kuromori), and some have upgraded items, such as the time attack exclusive equipment, the dungeons have no marking on the map, promoting blind exploration (Dungeons with Collossi will be pointed to by the sword once it's next in line). The original composer would be rehired to make a 2nd OST, but the game would still use the old OST as well. A new game+ would be available after the first completion in which you play as Mono, get a faster Aggro, and a reshuffle of each collossi's location, keeping the fights generally the same, but different (For example Avion and Hydrus swap Arenas). A classic mode would be offered as DLC, which is essentially an HD remaster.
Time artack returns, Featuring a global leaderboard and replay system, the only prize from time attack is glory. As a secret final boss if you raise your sword after beating Malus, then the black tentacles will go into it instead of you, triggering a secret final boss with Dormin, resulting in a good ending where Wander Isn't transformed into a baby.
Ff7 remake
Hire the entire ff7 dev team
No it won't be good, it will be grrrrrreat
