Totally agree homeworld was such an awesome game, I think the z-axis confused some though, but i loved it and is still my favorite game to date (hmm probably tied with the first metroid).. |

Unknown Worlds
Take Natural Selection, add more weapons, vehicles, city/hive building over a large world. Territorial control, multiple marine/alien factions.. I would be in heaven.
My dream game is a massive MMORPG/FPS/RTS. I've got the full design in my head, maybe one day I'll have the cash to pull it off. |

the Bethesda issue has been discussed previously within this very thread. As to the why not ID software questions, I think I pretty clearly mentioned why I felt that Valve would be a good choice. it wasn't just about experience, it was about the kinds of games made. You're allowed to disagree with my list. That's the point of them, but it may be helpful to read the accompanying text beyond just the headlines in order to get a sense of the substance of what was said. At this point Valve has lost some popularity with LFD2 as well as charging full price for a bunch of game mods. Valves Engine is pretty much inferior to anything id can do as well as id being the leader in the genre when it comes to technology break throughs. |

Zenimax is currently working on an as yet unnamed MMO. Gamespot article 2 If you read the Article id will remain the same with John Carmack and company doing what they want. Having id and Bethesda under one roof, is emmense. |

That two of the five are defunct studios that were swallowed up by bigger publisher and destroyed in the process really points to the biggest threat to the gaming industry in this era: The truly innovative studios almost always get gobbled up by bigger competition and the aquisistion is almost always bad for gamers and the industry. SOE is largely a kiss of death for MMORPGs and EA has become the KoD for all sorts of software franchises. Sometimes the smaller studios sell out because the alternative is bankruptcy, but far too often it's greed and the promise of a quick buck selling what is already a modestly successful, innovative venture. Stop selling out! Want to know more about GW2 and why there is so much buzz? Start here: Guild Wars 2 Mass Info for the Uninitiated |

Still, in light of Zenimax's MMO project I don't see ID attempting an MMO. Course, that's looking at this thread's posed question through the glasses of companies that are in a position to attempt such and only have them not deciding to do so yet as the remaining barrier. I'd think Zenimax would want ID to push out the types of games it's known for (and has on it's current in progress list) to earn back some or all of that $105 million before risking an MMO attempt. But yeah, I guess I missed/ didn't comprehend where they'd still be autonomous. "Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping.

Unless I missed it, I don't htink John Romero will be coming back to Id. Here was his Twitter on Zenimax buying out Id: "ZENIMAX??????? Disgusting," he declared on his Twitter page, before going on to muse, "Fallout 3 bought DOOM. Wow." Course, he does go on to say his initial reaction was "harsh", so the bridge isn't totally burned. It's definetely charred and looking brittle, though. "Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're alright..." |

Very nice list Jon! For the first time I have to say that I can't disagree with anything you said. =P God for the days of Sierra making an MMO. If they make a police quest mmo, I'm pre-ordering the day it's announced. lol |

True Katauri and other Russian/East Europe companies are definatley on the rise. They are getting very good funding (for their area) and do not have as many pupeteers (EA etc...) pulling their strings yet. Keep an eye on out on any game coming from that area. They are all trying to push the envelope. (Some succeed greatly, others fail, others still don't get the attention they deserve) Here's hoping they continue, and hopefully also force mainstream studios to innovate. |

I cannot see any of those people making a good mmo, futhermore, if there was a studio i liked i sure as heck would tell them, " STAY OUT OF MMOS THEY ONLY RUIN THE GOOD."

The biggest,the baddest MICROSOFT !.They have everything to gain by making a hi quality game with hi specs.They not only get the fanbase because the game is of great quality,but they could monopolize it through XBOX and maybe some gaming chip that all PC's would need to run it. Developers such as EPIC games,that sell their game engine ,would also benefit from the exposure of a great game.They have also shown great tech and a great series in the Unrealtournament series.So these guys understand tech and gaming. Some of the devs like Blizzard are IMO no way capable .Luck once by copying another game,wil lnot happen again,peopel are to ofussy now and much more knowledgeable.Blizzard may have a following now ,and many blind people that think Blizzard can actually CREATE,but that will soon be a thing of the past.Their lack of creativity is never more obvious than the newest rehash of an old game like Starcraft. SOE is still a giant willing to spend the bucks,so there is always the chance the ymight come up with a baddass game. Square Enix has some brilliant creative minds,maybe the best in the industry,but i feel they are still stuck behind in technology,gaming in JPN tends to move slowly.Capcom ventured mainstream out of JPN,and now Square is openiong their doors to more varied gaming that tries to attract north americans as well as asians. I think EA could easily create a great game,or have someone make it on their behalf,they have money and a lot of experience in all aspects of gaming,albeit they are famous for sports. http://www.youtube.com/user/Napolianboo#p/u/15/rCYLLQCNc1w |

I'd play a valve game. Esp if it took the cool stuff from TF2, Portal, L4D, and HL series... oh how much fun would it be to have those combined into a massive pve and pvp world??? I'm drooling at the thought of TF2 taunts and deathcams in mmorpg pvp... |

Game mod teams also include OSP, 3wave, and RA teams. On top of that, Counterstrike was built using the Quake engine modified. Guess everyone has thier own opinion though ... heh. |
