Shadowrun.. the ultimate MMO if done right.

 Clive Barkers Imajica - lots of different worlds and races.

Deus Ex,

The Godfather, Saints Row, - It would be really awesome to see a gang/mafia based mmo. And yes, I'm aware crimecraft is coming out.

-.-

I second quite a few said- Shadowrun, Dark Tower series, Sword of Truth series, Shannara series, Wheel of Time series (though thats in the works already), WoD (also in the works), Forgotten Realms, Dune, Gundam (preferably Wing or G), Fallout, and Serenity. And I'd like to add DragonBall Z, Naruto, Bleach, Marvel (though was in the works, as far as I know has been pushed into development hell), and Final Fantasy (based more on 7 or 8 or even X than that piece of crap we got).

I'd have to agree that NARUTO would definitely lend itself well to the mmorpg genre. I'm actually surprised no one has done it yet.

That would be pretty sweet. Not to mention all the "tests" to reach the next level of ninja would be pretty sweet, as well as unlocking new and never before seen uses for your powers mid battle.

and how about:

Resident Evil:

Three (3) Playable "races"

1. Umbrella Employee

2. Umbrella Opposition

3. The Infected

other than that, Shadowrun (which I think is in development), and Witchcraft would be awesome.

An MMO about people playing an MMO would probably blow my mind. I wonder if you'd have to log into the world and then log into the world. I also don't think there's any chance at all for a Shadowrun MMO now that Microsoft both owns the IP and has killed FASA. The same goes for Pokemon because Nintendo is just not going to want to spend the money or time when they'll make much much more just releasing the single players like they have been. These would be my two best non-utilized MMO universe votes though.

1. Dune

2. Shadowrun

3. Anything my family can play together, Pokemon would be great for that I think.

4. Transformers might be neat

5. Fallout

6. Call of Duty

7. Red Dawn

8. Paranoia

9. Gammaworld

10. Star Control

Not necessarily in this order

Lastly- NO FANTASY (says the 5 year EQ2 vet)

Cpt.Stubbing, I really hope that you mean Patrick Swazye, Commies, Highschool militia Red Dawn. Because if you do, you my friend are a genius.

Yes Sir I do. WOLVERINES!!!!!!

1. Frank Herbert's Dune

2. Terry Pratchett's Discworld

3. Blade Runner

and maybe a Firefly/Serenity MMO could be something fun to play too.

1. Mechwarrior

2. Warhammer 40k

3. Cult

1. Shadowrun

2. Mechwarrior

3. D&D Planescape

4. China Mieville's Bas-leg

5. Julian May'a Many Colored land (Would make an awesome pvp game)

The Wizard of Oz

I'm not kidding.

I'm also not sure about how a Romero-styled zombie mmo would work over time. I suppose it'd make things real easy on the dev team, only having to deal with human models, and rotting human models in terms of animation... I just can't see what you'd do over a long period of time though.

I have thought about this type of game a bit from time to time. I have a few ideas that might work.

1. PvE type game where gamers would defend different city strongholds from zombie onslaughts. Crafting would be important as well.

2. PvP FFA similiar to above, but you also defend against other stronghold trying to loot your goods as well zombie armies.

Only one I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Would be a good mmo for a younger audience, although if I remember right they have quite a lot of fighting in those books so no reason why it couldnt appeal to an older generation if done right.

What about a HIGHLANDER MMO? It would be hardcore mode only and when you kill someone you get mightier and if you die, you are free to go back to WoW, 'cause you won't be able to play the game anymore :-P

Now seriously, I'd LOVE to see shadowrun turned into a MMORPG, but I guess it could be screwed up just too easily...

Also the Discworld ( by Terry Prattchet ) would be a funny one, unfortunately it would be way too difficult to "translate it into MMO" and it wouldn't be funny if not written by the master himself :-\

Who wouldn't want a MMO with a unicorn-riding NPH?!?

Other than that:

• The Taltos Series by Steven Brust - seems tailor-made for a fantasy MMO - two races, lots of politics/factions, assassins, magic, etc...
• Arcanum - make an MMO out of the game
• Planescape: Torment - good times...

I personaly think Star Wars would be a good IP for an MMO...

Hmm.... What about Iraq / Afghanistan? I would definetly play a Ghost Recon 1 style MMOFPS with vehicles and Planetside-like customization and stuff.

Dune would be so bad ass.

I would love to see something based off of Neal Stevenson's Snow Crash

1. Vampire the Masquerade (no elves; no orcs; no spaceships);
2. Zombie Survival;
3. Highlander.

Nobody has made a Harry Potter MMO. I know there's been games, but I'm talking about MMORPGs.

I can't believe I just saw gamma world on here. /tears *memories*

anyway, I want a barbarella mmo.

One where all the players fight for Jane Fonda's attention, but I always seem to win.

 What ever happened to having an original IP /=.

Musketeers (A.Dumas)

Heavy Metal

Robotech/Macross

Mass Effect

Fallout

Xenogears/Xenosaga

Armored Core

Onimusha

Ultimate Marvel Universe
