Video Games You Wish Existed

I can think of stranger.

No you can't.

I want some more games to try to make combat systems out of things that aren’t exactly fighting in the traditional sense. More serious example: a diplomacy system where arguments are essentially treated like attacks. More comedic examples (which are easier for me to come up with): driving off rogue doctors with apples (like a parody of Faith: the Unholy Trilogy), or kissing opponents so hard they get too dazed and flustered to go after you anymore.

Oh my god this takes me back lol. People would absolutely have fallen for that hook line and sinker 20 years ago.

I could have sworn I just felt a breeze upon my scalp as if something had passed right over my head.

Having recently come off a major Final Fantasy Tactics kick (via the Ivalice Chronicles remaster) ... I want an honest-to-God FFT sequel.

(We could do with more single-player Quake-derived games in the Boomer shooter sphere rather than Doom, Blood and Duke Nukem 3D successors imho, not that those haven't been good, but Quake has not had the respect it deserves.)

Definitely. I can't even think of any Quake successors other than Dusk

Griftlands has a card-based diplomacy combat system. Decent wee game from a few years back.

Not Quake, more like Hexen, but try this....


It has the feel.

There are technically a few others:

HROT - Very directly Quake inspired: Amid Evil - Actually Heretic 2 inspired but thus Quake-like: Gravelord - Sort of situated between Quake and Doom gameplay-wise with some modern elements too: Wrath: Aeon of Ruin - Literally runs on the Quake engine and very Quake inspired but people have opinions about it lol:
Basically Dusk is the only straightforward Quake successor I can think of, most of them mix it up with a number of other games and go for faster-paced more frenetic stuff which is less... Quake-y.

Painkiller was also a Quake spiritual successor but has since become kind of its own thing.

Can confirm Ziggurat is pretty fun - I think it gets old kind of fast but you'll get your money's worth!
