Name an IP you’d like to get a AAA budget (that probably never will)

Those two. Though I would be happy with any budget at all....
The Culture novels would be my dream pick. RPG where you play as either Contact or Special Circumstances investigating some shenanigans onboard a culture ship or even an Orbital. The scope is beyond me but a game in that IP would please me. Never ever happening.
Bayonetta.
Numerous times when I was playing Devil May Cry 5, I was imagining in my head what a Bayonetta game with this quality would look like.
Although even Devil May Cry 5 isn't a triple-A game to be exact, and Bayonetta's overall quality, while looking really fantastic, roots in platform limitations.
Actually, Devil May Cry 5 could also be a much better game with a triple-A budget, with bigger and more variations in its levels and better designed environments.
I really want a triple-A character action game.

Having AAA budget comes with a lot of concessions being made in the name of sales and broad appeal so many of the games suggested here would probably end up looking very different from what you've come to expect of them in terms of game design...
With that said, if we're dreaming, it's Tenchu.

I've thought about this a lot.
Isn't Shenmue a Sega property? Instead of allowing Suzuki to crowd found the third game, couldn't they devleop it in their own Ryu ga Gotuko Studio, using the same tools and the engine they have for the Yakuza games?
Design and structure-wise, both franchises are extremely similar, and it would've been a perfect fit.
Obviously the Shenmue brand isn't as big as Yakuza today, but I'm pretty sure if the same amount of money and time that was spent for that Fist of the North Star game, was spent on Shenmue 3, the financial results would've been better.
A new Shenmue game even with the same quality of last-gen Yakuza games, such as Ishin or Yakuza 0, could've reinvigorated the franchise, and ultimately the interest in the remasters also would've been much higher; exactly like what has happened with the Yakuza 3-5 remasters.
I believe Sega lost a big opportunity here.
A sequel to Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. Just make it the new Metal Gear alt-universe.
A Shenmue 3 do-over with a Yakuza budget. Hell, just re-do the saga from the start using Suzuki's ideas as a guideline. Maybe the anime will let this happen.
Hotel Dusk but a gorgeous cel-shaded fully 3D adventure game

I dont even play Pokémon and I also agree it needs to be given a AAA budget.
Not only that, but give it to Nintendo to make in house instead of Game Freak which doesn't seem too interested in pushing the game from a graphical level or gameplay level.

Mega Man. Imagine a new Mega Man game in the Monster Hunter Stories 2 Engine.
I have a gut feeling that Bluepoint Games will revisit that game. They already made the Demon's Souls remake as faithful as possible.

I would like Gust to have a AAA budget for Atelier so they don't have to churn out a game every year for $2.50 to keep the studio afloat.
DMC V is Triple-A as fuck. All the Characters in this Game are some of the best looking in the entire Industry
The Long Dark...full open, added systems, massive open world with multiple geographical regions.
Golden Sun. I'd kill to see that world fully imagined and the summons how I imagined them in their limited animations before. The franchise is probably dead though, much to my chagrin.
Hot Take: I'd love to see Pokemon look like the budget it should have.

Pokemon, although to be honest I don't think Game Freak is capable of pushing Pokemon to "AAA" levels, even with a proper budget.
I'll also say Golden Sun. One of the best mixes of JRPG and puzzle based dungeons out there. And Golden Sun summons with a AAA budget? Chef's kiss.

Game Freak is partial owner to the franchise. Nintendo can't take it away from them, and given that Pokemon is basically the source of their entire income as a studio, Game Freak will likely never want to part with it. So yeah, unfortunately not going to happen.
Yes, Sega owns it. However I would only want a AAA Alpha Protocol if Obsidian makes it. So either MS buy the IP from Sega, or Obsidian creates a AAA spiritual successor to it.
Ar Tonelico/Surge Concerto. I'm not even sure we'll see another game in the series let alone any kind of budget. But one can dream!
Camelot Software Planning have experience with developing for the Nintendo Switch so I'm sure Nintendo are willing to give them the right budget for Golden Sun should they ever decide to revisit the series again.
