So basically this thread is just asking what games company's you would like to work on your favourtie IP's.

For example I would love to see bethesda work on a song of ice and fire RPG where you choose your house.
Another example would be 40k and 343 as Halo 4 engine would be a great mix.

Well apparently Warhammer: Total War may be coming so that leaves:

Visceral Games to work on Space Hulk.
Bioware to work on an Inquisitor RPG style game.
Relic and Epic to work on a new Space Marine game perhaps featuring the Deathwatch.
I'd buy the hell out of those!

I'm hoping WHQ works well sales and game wise, so it can be ported to PC, and not just tablets. I love a dungeon crawl me, and frankly WHQ is the best I have played by a country mile!

No bioware can't be trusted with anything anymore.
Plus I think the fallout 3 engine would make a much better basis for an inquisitor game than either the dragon age or mass effect ones.

well Bethesda have already bought the rights to the STALKER extended universe, so that was me incredibly excited. I would like to see a 40k XCOM style game, Space Hulk would work incredibly well in that system too.

Did you never play chaos gate? Thats the same combat mechanics right?

I did yeah, very similar stuff. I found chaos gate a little clunky personally and never got that far with it, but a modern version would be cool

Personally I find the Bethesda engine a little clunky and the combat not very satisfying. Plus future Bioware titles will be using Frostbite so could work well.

That would be pretty neat.

I think fallouts a lot closer to grimdark than biowares titles plus i really don't trust EA, and really don't want origin.

I disagree, fallout is quite silly. I would rather Bioware personally.

While Chaos Gate was exciting because it was "like" 40K X-COM it lacked a lot of the depth of X-Com and was poorly executed. There was no strategic level where you built a base of operations, researched, trained, shot down alien craft, etc. Tactically the marines really never gained abilities as far as I remember, you simply unlocked new squads so it was hard to garner the same attachment to individual marines that you can in X-Com.

The game itself was full of bugs. I remember many graphical glitches which caused the screen to wig out and sometimes crash the entire game. There were also bugs which would corrupt save game files.

On the original topic... I second the having a 40k style X-Com game. I think Bioware could do Warhammer Fantasy justice while Bethesda handles 40k. I would love to see another epic game. My preference is for turn based like the old Final Liberation, but, I'd take whatever I could get. Lastly, for a first-person perspective game I'd like to see Irrational Games (Necromunda maybe?).

Bioware doing a RPG in either GW setting would be just lovely. Bethesda making a Necromunda game...

@chronowraith, iirc you just unlocked troops and better weaponary. Don't remember it being as unstable as that though.
and as you say the stratigic game wasn't there.

I still think I'd prefer the fallout mechanics for an inquisitor game, or now it's been mentioned Necromunda.

I'd like ID games to make an FPS out of Primeval Abyssian oneday.
