What dev would *you* kickstart?

+From Software: King's Field Vita
+Hideo Yoshizawa (Klonoa Works): Klonoa 3 PS3/Wii U/Vita
+XSEED/Falcom: rest of the Legend of Heroes games in NA.
+Yasumi Matsuno: Vagrant Story remake/update for Vita along the lines of what the team did for Tactics Ogre PSP.
+Camelot: Golden Sun 4
+Yasuhiro Wada/Yoshiro Kimura/Cing/Town Factory: Little King's Story 2 (or Super Little King's Story as previously pitched) Wii U
+Tetsuya Takahashi and his Xenoblade team: Xenogears remake/update for Vita along the lines of what Matsuno did for TO on PSP.
 
So many talented people dropped out of the business in the mid-nineties when it all went corporate and design by committee based on prompts from the marketing department became the standard. The list would be huge and sadly would likely include many individuals who moved on with their lives and wouldn't be that interested in returning even if they could.
 
Dave Gilbert of WadjetEyeGames. I love his adventure games but he's limited by budget all the time. I would love to see a fully funded Blackwell game without budget constraints.
 
Spiderweb Software in collaboration with Obsidian: Baldur's Gate III (or new CRPG IP)
CAPY/D4 Enterprise: Guru Logic Champ HD
 
Aaron Connors and Chris Jones, formally of Access Software, currently of Big Finish Games. These are the guys behind the Tex Murphy FMV adventures, one of my all time favorite series. Aaron also wrote the "story" behind the deliciously insane Amped 3.

Talented developers, decades of experience, an amazing IP that I think they still own the rights to (they did a radio play years after it was over), and currently finding their way as a small independent studio. I'd kickstart the shit out of them, new Tex Murphy game or not.
 
I'd either pick Free Radical (in an ideal world), Grasshopper studios, or SWERY's team.

I would love another game from FR because I love the lighthearted nature of most of their work, but I would love them to have had another shot at something ambitious, after they tried a stab at it with Second Sight.

Grasshopper would pretty much be, if I had all the money in the world, to let Suda bring in whoever he wanted and make whatever he wanted.
Same with Swery.
 
Tom Hall should get all the money he wants to make whatever he wants. And by whatever he wants I mean the final Commander Keen trilogy. And then maybe Anachronox 2.
 
Ten years ago I would have said I'd have called up Ken & Roberta Williams, but knowing they don't do much other than travel these days I'll just agree with the best one I've seen on here...

The AKI team.
 
would kickstart up the arse;

Geoff Crammond for a proper new Stunt Car Racer (he was working on Stunt Car Racer Pro a few years ago, but it was cancelled, BULLSHIT) or Grand Prix 5
David Braben for Elite 4
Chris Sawyer for a proper new Transport Tycoon (Locomotion was not good enough)
 
Obsidian for Alpha Protocol 2
Cave to continue arcade games / fund a region free collection

Edit: Obsidian to buy the IP from Sega, THEN make AP2
 
Moonshot Games.

Former Bungie employees in a small team working on a game that hasn't been seen since PAX last year. Game looked pretty cool and I wanna see more but I fear for the worst.
 
- Yves Grolet to make Totems and Outcast 2

- Yoshio Sakamoto to make 2D Metroid 5

- Michel Ancel to make Beyond Good & Evil 2 this decade.

- Someone who make Little King's Story 2 (with art style of the wii version )

- Vanillaware to make something to PC.

I'd bring Black Rock back from the dead and have them partner with EA to make a Road Rash game.

Oh man, yes please. Pure is the fucking nuts! I'm about to start another playthrough, it's one of my favourite games this gen. Split/Second was really good too, but the handling was a little too heavy (plus kind of unrefined. If you hit a barrier to the point of straightening up mid-slide, you'd often reinitiate the slide as soon as you left the barrier, as if ignoring the laws of physics) and the difficulty curve hits a wall on the last few races. But I could absolutely see them doing an awesome Road Rash. Remember that proof of concept from a few years ago? Looked incredible.

Honestly, I always thought the idea behind Sadness was pretty cool.
 
Keiji Inafune.

Mega Man Legends 3. Enough money to just buy back the dilapidated property from Capcom wholesale and bring this series back to justice.
