What single/ limited multiplayer game would you like to see as an mmo?

in The Pub at MMORPG.COM
For me it would be one of four: -

  • Fable 1 / 2... as a casual fun cartoonish mmo. I think it would be great fun and an interesting world to explore. 
  • Mass Effect... what more needs to be said... A TPS with Bioware story-telling.
  • Fallout... Yes this would be amazing... post apocalyptic isolationist freaky drama. 
  • and I hate to say this but... Skyrim... Yes, I am aware that ESO exists.

    Definitely agree with Fallout. I don't play that many single player games that would translate well into an MMO though, so I can't suggest anything else.

    Turning my favorite single/multiplayer games into MMOs would make them worse.

    Example Terraria - that would suck as a MMO.

    Or Stardew Valley etc..
    Agreed, which is why I hesitate to say two of my choices, the first being Fallout, where they would have to handle the tone very carefully so as not to ruin the tone of the original... 

    Or Skyrim where they did not handle the tone of the original particularly well, and while ESO is fun in its way, it does not have the atmosphere or tone of an Elder Scrolls game.

    Dragon Warrior / Dragonquest BUT this is a Japanese game, and besides FFXIV ARR I've hated all Japanese MMOs.  Their UI's are terrible and give headaches and every freaking second there is a 5 minute cut scene or even to talk to NPCs it prompts you to talk to them via a video and if you hit ESC it takes 5 seconds to deactivate the npc video.  So I would love if Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest was made by a western company or a korean company as I'm sure a japanese company would completely f' it up.

    Sword Art Online. I love the single player games but if a company develops a proper mmorpg i would totally play it.

    Also, Vindictus (also known as Mabinogi Heroes) is a prequel to an actual mmorpg called Mabinogi. It is beyond me why Nexon didn't make Vindictus an actual mmorpg like its sequel instead of the crap instance nonsense it is.

    Part of me wants to say Mass Effect, but after seeing how SWTOR turned out, I am convinced that EA/BioWare are not capable of producing a true single-player to MMO translation of BioWare RPGs.

    On a second note, nearly every game that I play has a multi-player function. If the root of the question is: what other genre (that isn't an MMO) game/IP would you like to see translated into an MMORPG, here is my short off-the-cuff list (in no particular order):

    Diablo
    Starcraft
    Red Dead


    The problem with the MMORPG genre (as most people expect it to be) is that it sucks the soul out of a game, and replaces it with a hamster wheel of activities. This process could be arguably analogous to taking a great novel and turning it into a real time television show.

    In my honest opinion, the MMORPG genre needs to die and/or be supplanted by a successing genre that is capable of incorporating innovative design and features that the current MMO-mold cannot adopt.

    Case in point: the main impetus behind every MMORPG is to kill shit and advance, looting 1,000's of corpses as you go along.

    They did. It's callled Wizardry Online. Japanese players play it like SAO. NA/EU players just PK'd each other and made it yet another barren PVP MMO.

    Well, the question wasn't about your favorite, specifically. I think Castles II would suck as an MMO, as well.

    I'd like to see an MMO inspired by some of these games, especially Fallout, but the idea of converting an RPG into an MMO sounds like a recipe for more linear, lifeless, narrative driven drivel that's plagued the genre for so many years already.


  • Jill52Jill52 Member UncommonPosts: 85
    So many say Fallout. Fallen Earth is probably as close to having a Fallout or Mad Max MMO there is. However, aside from a great crafting system it isn't very impressive (at least in my opinion).

    Personally I'd love for Atlus to make a new "Shin Megami Tensei" MMO.
    Also, imo, Funcom should make a MMO based on the world and lore of "The Longest Journey" series.

    A mecha MMORPG would be nice. Mechwarrior/Battletech? ..Heavy Gear? ...Gundam??
    Some of these have too much lore and RPG potential to be wasted on just the aspects that fit into a MOBA. As long as you're not stuck in a mech the entire time and maybe if you can also be something other than a mech pilot it can work.

    Others that were already mentioned, like Fallout, are also on my list.

    Fallout seem to be better option .

    Ghost in the Shell. With a prosthetic and implant system to go along with various weapons/armor the IP seems made for an MMO. It could have both sprawling cityscapes as well as rural, dessert, etc.

    I'd like to  take back my Deus-Ex suggestion now, Ghost in the Shell didn't occur to me then - this is a better suggestion. ^^

    Yeah, I don't think Fallout does anything particularly unique that hasn't already been done in games like Fallen Earth, etc.

    I actually remember playing a beta for a Stargate MMO at one time, but it got canned.  I'm not surprised; it was in bad hands.

    1.) Mass Effect would have been one of my top two choices for this, also. 

    I remember when they announced an untitled MMO project in the works, I was hoping it would be Mass Effect.  Instead, they ended up with SWTOR... and I was glad they screwed that up instead of ME.  The real Bioware is dead and buried at this point, so I hope they never try it now.

    2.) Open-world D&D:
    My mind is still blown we've never seen a real D&D IP MMORPG.  I mean, everything was already in place through decades of lore and settings.  So, all they had to do was build a world around it. 
    Instead, we ended up with a lame lobby-runner... twice!

    Hmm, a Gundam Seed MMO would be rather cool actually, good idea. Or you could do western mecha, there have been talks about a R.I.F.T.S MMO a long time and I would love to pilot a glitterboy or a skycycle.

    Fable, Fallout, Borderlands, Far Cry Primal as already mentioned.

    But now to the real highlights!

    Dying Light
    Dragon's Dogma
    Kingdom of Amalurz



    No Man's Sky. A MMO over an unlimited amount of planets?? Colonize, explore, plant, craft spacestuff and flying vehicles? Attack other player's bases on distant planets? I would SO be in.

    Kingdom was actually made as the prequel to the MMO Copernicus but it didn't sold as well as predicted so 38 studios went down in flames.

    Unless you can go back in time and sell a buttload of copies or buy out the sourcecode (that actually is not impossible, shouldn't be to expensive), Copernicus will sadly stay dead though, too bad, they actually had some rather good devs on the team.
