Support NeoGAF

[dallow_bg]

So this thread is basically, 'what game would you want made?'
I would definitely support small studios who barely make a dent in the retail space with niche games. Even if I didn't always like them.

 

[Orayn]

Could I fund hardware too? 'Cause I'd throw money at anyone who would create an enthusiast-grade mech cockpit simulator.

SNKPlaymore : GAROU 2 or a new HD Samurai Spirits.

(And some extra bucks for the netcode)

So this thread is basically, 'what game would you want made?'

No. It is "what game would you want made, that can not be made without kickstarter"

 

[TEJ]

Maybe Valhalla Games if the devils third is a bomba........or maybe platinum games to make a party based action rpg with mikami humor and kamiya quality combat.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I'd donate to Artdink, Tatsuo Nagahama, and Masaki Iizuka for them to create a new A-Train for a global audience, not just for the home country. PROPE also needs more money to get crackin' on some new projects—I'd fund dat.

 

[MedIC86]

yu suzuki!

 

[TouchMyBox]

I am sure many would rather Kickstart a project to stop a Pinkie Pie RPG being made.

They'd just be tricked into increasing the production budget, thus making it the new graphical benchmark which nerds worldwide run to see how fast their machines are.

 

[injurai]

How about we Kickstart Krome Studios, I hear they are operating on a skeleton crew, and hoping to make a comeback. I'd love to see them get away from licensed games and get back to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, or perhaps start a new amazing IP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krome_Studios

 

[legacyzero]

Acclaim.
The worlds needs another proper Turok and Rush game.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

yu suzuki!

Shenmue 3 kickstarter announced, requires 200 million dollars funding.

Notch: Actually, this time, pass.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I wonder how receptive any Japanese developers would be to the idea of Kickstart, or anything like it over in Japan. Given the various business practices and traditions involved in their gaming industry, I'm not so certain they'd be willing to risk something quite like it.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Shenmue III
Jet Set Radio 2 (or Future 2)
Rez 2

 

[mclem]

Just for the sake of naming devs who used to make games sorts of game that need a revival, Mike Singleton.

Now there's a name I hadn't thought of, but you're quite correct. I wonder what he's up to these days.

 

[big_z]

Actraiser HD remake.

add one more land to save and a 3rd action and sim act to each area.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Spicy Horse, provided they were working on Alice 3.

 

[the TMO]

Platinum Games.

 

[mclem]

No. It is "what game would you want made, that can not be made without kickstarter"

Well it was intended as "And could *reasonably* be funded by a Kickstarter", but that seems to have gone out of the window. Oh well!

Risk free funds? I don't understand. If you mean there is some kind of shame from working off of handouts that is different. But a kickstart is the opposite of risky.

 

[smr00]

Shenmue III, no doubt. Do it, Yu! Do it, Sega! At the very least, give it a shot and put us out of our misery.

i would donate my entire tax return and more towards that.

 

[Tiduz]

platinum games making a new onimusha game.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

Capy.

I came in to say the exact same thing...

...

I kid! Thanks for the love Kafel <3

 

[K' Dash]

Hironobu Sakaguchi.

More regarding industry politics, really. I'm wondering what the reaction to a well-known Japanese developer doing something with a service like Kickstart would be, most notably concerning publisher's thoughts and how other developers would react. They do have a rigid system that seems to be followed by everyone—and while Kickstart is a great idea on principle, Western devs and publishers are more beholden to this concept and constant experimentation with publicity than the Japanese are.

 

[Emitan]

Obsidian

I'd probably donate $100 or more if it meant they could make a game with no compromises.

 

[Zabka]

Treasure - Guardian Heroes 2

HD Sprites. Make it happen.

 

[bigboss370]

I want TimeSplitters.

 

[SomeDude]

I know bastion was created in 2 years by 7 people.


Anyone know how much it cost to make though?

 

[VeryGooster]

Yu Suzuki. Hands down!!!!!!

Bingo.

And Supergiant Games.

 

[TheLucifer]

Will Wright. I need a new Sim City. I really do.

 

[Gelry]

The old Black Isle/Bioware teams. I want a real follow-up of Fallout 2 with an isometric engine as well as a Baldur's Gate III created in the Infinity Engine 2. Or a new Planescape game.

 

[Theonik]

Yu Suzuki.
Who else?

 

[mrWalrus]

Team Andromeda

Spoiler

or Race to the Moon (my company), so I can get back to making Synth Racing.

 

[Tain]

favorite developers thread~~~~

I'd totally pay Cave to line up another arcade STG without all the turbo anime girl stuff.

 

[digita1alchemy]

Treasure, to make whatever they wanted.

 

[SomeDude]

Shenmue cost like 70 million to make.


On a realistic level I do think some of these really talented devs could end up getting fans to fund a 1 million dollar quirky product. I could actually see this happening a lot in the future.

I would support this if they promised to make it PC only. Sorry, console folks, but I've been burned by Dragon Age - Burned hard.

 

[Kade]

I would give $1000 to whatever Doug Church is working on.

 

[Mahonay]

SWERY. Because all he really needs is like 50 bucks to make a sequel to Deadly Premonition.

 

[gar3]

Whatever Kenji Eno feels like doing today.

 

[herzogzwei1989]

Yu Suzuki is right!

 

[Fou-Lu]

Depends what they're making. I might love what a select few developers do every time, but I'm probably not going to like a MW clone they throw out.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

I am sure I sound like a broken record, but Genki. Give me another Tokyo Xtreme Racer!!

 

[-SD-]

Looking Glass Studios and Appeal.

Complete utopia, yes, but a man can dream...

 

[Jocchan]

IGA apparently makes his Castlevania games on negative budgets, so I'd gladly get paid for a new Igavania.

 

[bengraven]

Someone host a Troika family reunion and get them to make a CRPG sequel to Arcanum.

and then Vampire.

 

[Fox318]

I would only fund a project if I believe the dev is competent enough to release a game.

So no Team ICO.

 

[UrbanRats]

Depends on the project really.

If we must go we names only, then i guess Toyama is a god bet, right now.

^^^ Yeah, Team Ico would be a shot in the dark.
