What dormant major license could follow Spider-Man PS4’s lead and become a AAA juggernaut?
- Thread starter BAD

I don't think it needs to be good. I think it needs things people want. It needs to be open world, story based, and have familiar characters/locations. It also needs decent-good visuals. That's all it needs. It doesn't need to be good. It just needs to be something people would consider AAA.
Valérian and Laureline (1967)was an inspiration for George Lucas' Star Wars.
The movie was meh but its stil an interesting franchise.

I'd like to see Remedy do Bladerunner.
The Thing, done Alien: Isolation style. You have a set number of NPCs in a set sandbox location but you're actually playing against an AI, so who gets infected and how you fight it changes every game.

Spider-Man sold this well not because it was just a AAA SM game, but because it had great reviews. There's no guarantee that just making the HP game with things people want in it would sell as well or as close to Marvel's Spider-Man. If the game has poor or middling reviews, don't expect it to reach SM's level of sales. 😐
It could potentially work even better than Uncharted in some ways. Killing a bunch of people seems a bit more in character for Bond than wise cracking charismatic Nathan Drake. The over the top action set pieces would also fit Bond perfectly.
Add to the Uncharted formula fun gadgets and Goldeneye-style mission objectives that get harder with increased difficulty settings and I think a game like that could be amazing.
I enjoyed the two Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games, but I think anyone giving The World's Greatest Detective the AAA treatment could really do something special. A VR version might work well, with interactive crime scenes and close up interrogations.
I assume this IP being over 100 years old, it's also free to use? And if someone wants to pay for a brand, then we have two modern versions of Holmes (Downey Jr and Cumberbatch) to choose from.
Still waiting for a good Doctor Who game (though I haven't tried the recent VR release). Personally I want a narrative, Telltale-style story which I can comfortably fit within my head-canon.

Star Trek. Expand on Star Trek Bridge Crew make a full game out of it and give it AAA production values and polish.
How come there is no Supernatural game, I can't understand. The series is ending, but you could do so much with a video game...Have Sam be more of a caster type with spells and ranged and Dean be up close and personal. Make it coop as well, fighting all sorts of monsters with a buddy and then go cruising in the muscle car.

Chris Pine did his job. Why did nobody else?

Absolutely yes for a blade runner game!
If it looked anything close to this in terms of graphics, vibe, atmosphere and with this kind of soundtrack, I'd die of happiness
Yo, where's that triple-A production Gremlins game? Time to cash in on the 80's nostalgia while it's still piping hot.
I miss the days when Disney would create video-game tie ins for their movies. A Zootopia game would make for an amazing open-world game.
Isn't that what licensed games are all about? Ancillary additions to a media franchise.

Somebody will, eventually, nail the landing with a Superman game in the same manner that Rocksteady struck gold with Batman.
It's inevitable even if the wait has been interminable.

Actually, the (traversal) game play of PS4 Spider-Man would work. Medival City instead of NYC.
I am curious about how they're going to handle the houses in that leaked RPG. I have to imagine that writing, animating and voice-acting a different supporting cast for each house would be a huge expense--you'd essentially need four different sets of Rons and Hermiones, along with the smaller background characters.
I suppose they could work around it by just having a couple of characters who always end up in the same house as the protagonist...
Yes, an open-world Kino's Journey game by Team Ico is a billion dollar idea waiting to happen :P!
My genuine answer is a high budget Fate game for consoles. It's in the same place Spider-Man was at: a tremendously huge IP that dwarfs the competition (in terms of revenue, Spider-Man is bigger than the next 4 top superhero properties combined - Fate is similarly ridiculous), with cheaper games that exist to make a steady profit off the name instead of prestige titles.
Maybe a Terminator game in the same vein as Alien Isolation.
Also a new Motorstorm with Forza Horizon elements.
Also a Bond game with Uncharted quality gameplay and story, and a Skyrim scale HP, LOTR and even GoT games are begging to be made.

I think adhering to the rules and limitations of mistborn powers would be hard to achieve. I guess. But I'd love an open world game in luthadel and even surrounding areas where you can explore hidden temples and shit.
What do you think the thread is about after reading the title???
if you took the witcher 3 and made it a hellboy game it could be the biggest game in the world
This is the one I came in here to say. Oh god, A Matrix game on a PS5/XSX? Whoooo baby!
to this day I'm sad how Epic Mickey turned out; as a huge Parks fan the original concept art was ridiculously cool, then it turned into what we got!
My answers here would be Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean, I want a single player massive open adventure with a PoTC score
I still think those rumors were literally just cos they are called Rocksteady.
I feel like the obvious ones : Alien, Predator, Terminator are all set up for greatness if they just put the right studio and budget behind them.
