What are some potentially awesome, mostly unexplored genre/ideas for games?

I'll start.

Heist-based games.

Voyeurism

Ancient roman RPG

Playing as a ghost haunting bitches.

Payday, and GTA to an extent

I feel like Mr. Mosquito fits this in a weird way.

Please play Geist if you haven't yet, you won't be disappointed.

City management role-playing game.

Thief 2 has, to this day, the best heist mission ever created.

Otherwise I'd like to see a game that is Slice of Life, or very light hearted stuff with no drama or action in between. I know Sup Forums wouldn't call it a game but I think there's potential there for good story telling and exploration.

Ghost Trick kinda fits this

Payday, Monaco, Sly Cooper

Gladius

Wut?

Like Dungeon Keeper, where you can inhabit the creatures inside your dungeon.

An RPG structured around you ACTUALLY being the bad guy. And I don't mean "Oh no, I was actually the bad guy", I mean being the bad guy intentionally the entire time with no redemption.

I really REALLY want a Thief in a modern setting type game where you stage burglaries and home invasions. There was some indie game that launched that did this a while back but it turned out to be a piece of shit.

>What are some potentially awesome, mostly unexplored genre/ideas for games?

Police simulators

There is actually one in development.
Its called Explore Acres.
To explain it simply it is like Banished, but in first person mode and you control the mayor. It takes place in a wild-west kind of setting, but there are a wide variety of biomes not just desert-

I would play the shit out of it if it were a New England tundra fur trading post.

I would like to see actual grand strategy game in space.

Currently we have only MoO2 clones.

LA Noire is the first thing that comes to mind, but that's so niche it barely even applies

I think there'd be a lot of fun to be had in simply being a guy with so much power you can just run around and slap tickets on everything that moves

> Congratulations! You handed out 458 tickets today for 429,561 dollars! You might be getting that promotion soon... ;)

I wanna give a 500 dollar ticket to a child for speeding and then force him to go to court. That sounds like a fuckin' hoot.

Second this. I really want something like this

>getting to raid a village for magic secrets
>leave a teenager alive, telling him power means everything
>leave
>later on he comes back with 3 other faggots and gives a speech about friendship
>kill all 4 of them instantly
>do it all again tomorrow, maybe get some minions or something or make a legendary weapon to kill me and hide it in a cave

I'd play it

Overlord is the best bad guy simulator available at the moment.
Alternatively, playing as the killer in Dead by Daylight.

Fallout 4

Something like Steambot Chronicles can be this, maybe Chulip or Harvest Moon sort of fit here too.

Mostergirl rape Simulator

Digimon World 1

He said mostly unexplored not new. Yeah Payday and GTA did it but:
Payday was a shit game. It LOOKS like a heist game but it's really just a fps with a twist. It isn't really focused on the heist. It's about shooting super cops / cop monster/ cop wizards.

GTA.. well, heists were finally added. GTAs actually pretty damn good in that regard now that they are finally here.

>He said mostly unexplored not new
Never argued with that, was just giving suggestions.

WELL YOU'RE IN FUCKING LUCK

Shadow The Hedgehog

A game where you are a yandere girl who goes and kills people for her love senpai

True Crime NYC is the closest we'd get for now i think. Play as an undercover cop, but used to just play on the beat alot.

Loved being called out to various events going on in the city. Robberies, domestic violence, fights breaking out.

Rolling up with melee weapons, or guns or rifles. Beating on them with your learned martial arts until they suddenly draw a gun on you. When you turn up and their's a fucking homeless man walking around with a flamethrower. Or when you're arresting everyone then suddenly have no choice but to actually kill.
Could search backs of cars and people almost at will. Could be a dick and plant evidence. More experience being a cop and you get to increase your rank within the dept, gaining new weapons and access to newer dept vehicles.

That having to identify yourself as a undercover cop or else the other cops might shoot you.

The goofy ass story was brilliant too.
Too bad it's a bit of a buggy game.

>I wanna give a 500 dollar ticket to a child for speeding and then force him to go to court. That sounds like a fuckin' hoot.
now i want this

...

Age of Decadence

You can sort of do this in SS13 on the goonstation server

Oh yeah I've done it before on /vg/. The best thing in the world is to set up a checkpoint in a hallway. Ask for like 5 credits to be let through. People will lose their SHIT.

Airport simulator MMO
Either work or travel in an airport.
It would be the ultimate comfy game.

Wasn't Kenshi kinda sorta like that? What happened to it?

Alpha Protocol
You still get the whole "find bad guys who backstabbed you" plot obviously, but you can do that not out of some noble intent, but to join them, and optionally even to backstab them, taking all they created, or destroying it.

>pick to be either business or leisure class
>business class allows you to get through the airports faster and you have more money
>leisure class lets you explore more areas of the airport and play in a party
>visit different airports all over the world and learn about that country when you arrive
>alternatively you can work on check in and approve people's bags, work on security and check for bad items (has no bearing on other players) work in the shops, work in air traffic control or be a steward on a plane all to earn money through mini games
>airport atmos the whole time
>NPC terrorists rarely appear giving more bonuses to players if they stop them
>option of having unlimited money for those who dont want the challenge
>spend time on the plane, connect with youtube or your tv deal to watch stuff ingame
I need this

sex

Mount and Blade

Monstergirl quest.
Three colossal parts to it, too.
It'll keep you entertained for as long as any decent AAA game would if you want monstergirl rape and a surprisingly good story.

maybe RDR2 will have more in depth bank robbing

Objective based fighting games with more than 2 people in the battle at once.

You will love Beat Cop and this is the police when they come out

store.steampowered.com/app/461950/?l=french
store.steampowered.com/app/443810/

A bartending simulator in contemporary times, not a fucking cyberpunk waifu clusterfuck or a visual novel

this
shame the universally beloved past time can't get a better adaption that garbage furry and hentai flashes

Maybe. But it won't be the focus. Which can work out, it did for GTA V

For Honor will come out next year. I don't know any other games like that.

>proctologist simulator

fighting game mmo.

>An RPG structured around you ACTUALLY being the bad guy.

It would be like this song.

Fucking J.K. Rowling Wizarding World MMO

WHEN THE FUCK IS IT GONNA HAPPEN

Check out "Lastcall"
It may just be my nostaliga from playing this back when I was 9 or so, but this is a pretty comfy game.

Smooth jazz, simple but appealing design, and a lot of drinks to mix.

Dragonball Xenoverse

>all these niggers calling payday a heist game
maybe before thay added in the minigun, fatboy and ac130, but now it's just a glorified horde mode

open world non-hub based fighting game mmo.

Just Cause multiplayer with 1:1 creations of famous cities around the world

are there more beat em up hack and slash whatever type games that feature bullet hell?
youtube.com/watch?v=Iq3_phBQA_Y
this looks pretty fun, and I have been enjoying furi quite a bit so far

a game where you get to be a domestic cat
you just get to knock about in a quiet neighbourhood and climb trees.
maybe stare at people walking past or catch a small creature
avoid dogs and being pet at all costs

Fully realistic forest simulator where you get to play as a forest animal of your choosing.

you should check out Ghost Master

Mount and Blade

A game where you get to solve murder mysteries in different settings, think Ace Attorney mixed with the Excess Express chapter of TTYD

It's already a tech demo

A survival game somewhere in Africa, like on the Sambesi in Mozambique. At the beginning you start as a random or chosen animal. You have to survive droughts, find food, mating partners, gotta support your pack and follow its social codex or else you will get mauled.
Like a playable nature documentary.

Purging elf scum from the face of the Earth.

>Fully realistic
That would be very boring.

>And then I laid in the same spot for 8 hours because it was too hot to forage

Well the question wasn't really about if you'd play it or not. Obviously nobody would make or play it.

Also dying of terrible illnesses.

AAA corruption of champions when?
