Alright lets have some fun here. You will be given a few options of games. You can pick only one game. On to the options then.

Option One
You can pick any one game you want to be recreated in every single way to be with the standards of today. Remastered engine, graphics, sound, etc. It would play exactly as it did back in release, save of course for graphical glitches and the like. All bugs however would remain, and game modes would remain unaltered.

Option Two
You can pick one type of game and one developer to create it. You have no say after that choice is made. The game has as much funding and supplies as would be needed to create an AAA title, and has a deadline of 3 years. Once again, you can only pick the genre of the game and the developer to make it. Nothing else. The deadline can not be extended.

Option Three
You are allowed to combine any number of games together. You are to pick the games, make a list, and give it to the developer of your choice. The same rules of development apply as with option two. You have no say after you give them the list. Same deadline, funding, etc.

Option Four
You are allowed to completely dictate the script and gameplay for the game, however it is being made by a brand new company. The company has only 2 years to develop the game and a limited budget. The title will still be able to compete with AAA games, but will not be as fleshed out. You have complete control in all aspects of development other than of course donating your own funds and extending the deadline.

Option Five
You are allowed to pick any game series of your choice. You can choose to have it be a prequel or a sequel. However the game must be made by a studio that is normally unaffiliated with the genre. In other words if it's a shooter the developer has to not normally make shooters and so on. Same rules for development as two and three, you can choose the series and developer and that is it.

I can't wait to see some of the choices you make Flood, games you think could possibly be made. I have high hopes for this thread, so go forth and create.

Option 1 all the way.
Use it to re-release The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (with the obvious engine and graphics updates). Looks like I'll be occupied for the next two years.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Option 1 for KOTOR II.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Which games, out of curiosity.

I pick option two with the genre of rpg and Bethesda as the company.

But in all seriousness, Option 1: Halo 2.

I didn't read, so I don't understand the context of your question.

Option 3 to make a remastered super Halo game made up of the original trilogy including all the parts that were cut in their original development.

Ah but you don't get that choice. You would hand them a paper with the names of the games and they would make it as they pleased. Come on there has to be some repercussion to each!

Option Three:

Battlefront 1 + Battlefront II = Battlefront III

Option 1 would still turn out appalling. *hint*CEA*hint*

Older graphics = easier to find weapons on the ground, more convincing blood splotches, less distracting background noise, easier to see HUD

Newer graphics = clutter on level tops, out of map not rendered, reused models from a newer game, very muddy, inaccurate graphics layer

Unless CEA was a botched attempt...

Option 4 is Halo 4 in a nutshell.

I'm going with Option 3. I get an Alien vibe from Composer and a Predator vibe from Infinity. It would be intriguing to have those aliens in a Halo game.

Just because 343i can't do a good remake doesn't mean it's not possible.

If you think option 4 is the situation 343i was in for Halo 4 then you really need to pay more attention.

Your option three does sound interesting, though I was thinking more like crosses of gameplay and art style as opposed to making a crossover game.
