Let's pretend that you have $20bn in the bank. What cancelled video game or dead IP are you reviving?

Crash Bandicoot Warped Naughty Dog sequel, Twisted Metal Black 2, Yoshi's Island 2, LBP Media Molecule sequel, The Sims/Sim City - Will Wright sequel, Halo 3 Bungie (360 era) sequel, Crackdown 1 sequel (non coop focus, with coop elements), Dead Rising 1 Sequel by original team, DefJam 1/2 sequel by original team, The Getaway 3 by Team Bondi team, Tony Hawk underground 3 (ps2 era) sequel, Goldeneye 007 Rare (N64 era) Sequel (with same engine lol), Saints Row 1 Remake, StarFox 64 sequel (no gimmicks lol), Viva Piñata TiP (360 era) sequel, or Road Kill 2 Midway (PS2 era) sequel.

one of those lol, I don't believe any of these will happen but I would be very excited in gaming if one of these were to come true.
 
The problem is that the talent's all gone. But looking past that...

I'd fund and fully-complete a proper spiritual successor to 7.62 High Calibre, an obscure Russian pausable real-time squad tactics game that would have been the best of the genre if not for the studio running out of money to fix its (many) bugs.
 
I'd buy Sierra from Microsoft and start funding Kings Quest, Quest for Glory, Leisure Suit Larry, Gabriel Knight, Police Quest and all the other sierra stuff. They'd be A or AA budget adventure games that won't break the bank but make moderate profits. Probably 2d too.
 
Even though A Realm Reborn exists, the original Final Fantasy XIV is still a cancelled game right? I'd restart development on Final Fantasy XIV, just because it would be funny to rebirth the realm for a third time.
 
Bring back Arcanum for a sequel, a turn-based Final Fantasy 17, either another Final Fantasy or Tactics Ogre, and I would also bring back Suikoden. Another Alpha Protocol, with lots of C&C.

Far from $20bn needed, but those are my choices.

Non-rpgs. Bring back a good Thief game, and give me another good Deus Ex game. Two games that I really enjoyed, that I would also play sequels of are Binary Domain, and Vanquish.

I would still have money ober, so why not also bring a new Sly Cooper game, and an inFAMOUS game, while we are at it.
 
To maximize investment the first one would be SOCOM. I would make it F2P and similar to the Division.
 
New games:
Blood
Dune
Duke Nukem
Dungeon Keeper
Punch Out!
Maniac Mansion
Command & Conquer
Simpsons Hit & Run
Astro Bots VR
Blake Stone
Manhunt
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six

Cancelled games:
Warcraft Adventures

Modern day ultima mmorpg incoming..

I'd also reboot the entire titanfall series with a new and branching storyline, and a complete multiplayer system to replace the boring old COD Jank.

Easily my two favorite games of the past that need gamers making and not suits of flesh
 
One of them is this super niche and amazing game called "Killer is Dead", I really liked it and damn it got a cliffhanger...
 
If I had 20 billion it would definitely be "Time to Split!" I woukd invest the entire 20 billion and the game would be huge.
 
I'm buying all of devolver, soleil, housemarque, quincy jones, paradox, codemasters, richard garriot if he's for sale, and a significant amount of the british workforce at large. Then I'm putting them all under peter molyneux's command for the new syndicate.

You gave me too much money.

No need for a remake. I'll give Warhorse a couple billion to make Empire Come: Deliverance set in imperial Rome during the peak. Start out as a slave and work your way into the praetorian guard or something like that. The entire city of Rome would be explorable/playable.

If we have to stick to OPs question, then I'll settle for a new Vagrant Story and a full Xenogears remake with the cut disc 2 stuff fully realized.

Dinosaur Planet I was expecting this game a lot. When fucking miyamoto told rare to change their characters with gay start fox characters. Ugghh

Fucking buy monolith soft from Nintendo and have them work on xenosaga again.

Vagrant story remake would be fucking awesome. And the ability to play as Calo Merlose.

Watchdogs.

I'd bring this game back from the abyss that Ubi has thrown it in with its carelessness, soullessness, visionless malarky and make this the S-tier experience it deserves to be.

Unbelievable potential.
