    How about some good, old fashioned singleplayer RPGs? We haven't had many of those lately...

    Agreed.

    An Arrow or Flash ... or a DC hero based action RPG will be nice.

    The OP mentioned Predator and I think Aliens was mentioned somewhere in there. How about this: The Univers of James Cameron. Aliens, Predators, Terminators ... heck throw in blue cat people. They could all exist in the same universe and could make a bad ass MMO if all of them are playable.

     

    Ha didn't even see Ashia's post before this. lol

    Battlestar Galactica & Game of Thrones.

    The reasons i chose these two, is because they both have factions that would be amazing for pvp.  The only problem with BSG though, is that one faction would only be Cylons. lol.  Farscape would probably be a better choice than BSG.  There needs to be a good sci-fi MMO again.

    Firefly/Serenity gets my vote as well.

    But only if it's in the hands of a capable developer, whose designers know and respect the lore and characters. And not if it's in the hands of a typical publisher who wants to water it all down and turn it into a "Yet Another Streamlined Themepark" version of "WoW with a Firefly paintjob".

    agreed because MMO based on an IP usually goes so wrong for more than one reason.

    On that note I still think someone should make World of Darkness MMO but for reason I have just mentioned it should not be called World of Darkness (which isnt a show but still)

    They could make it a show based on a game... 

    Which could then become a game.

    So, it'd become a game, based on a show, based on a game...

     

    Full circle, baby!

    I don't  know about a TV or Movie based game, But I'd really love a true Steam Punk MMO.

    No MMO would ever live up to the expectations of the players and the fan base. So far, there have been numerous MMO's that have followed down that "TV" or "MOVIE" line. I can't think of ANY (including SWG) which ever fully lived up to the expectations of the players or the fans. Tell you what, from this point on, just name some of those MMO's that were made from TV or movies. And, say which ones are  still around and thriving.

    Going to cheat a bit and suggest a fictional world - Bas-lag: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bas-Lag

    Probably the wildest and most exotic fictional world I have came across, tailormade for a modern twisted steam punk fantasy mmorpg .

    rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar

    Now playing GW2, AOW 3, ESO, LOTR, Elite D

    Masters of the Universe

     

    It would be perfect. It's a combination of Fantasy, Superhero, and Sci-Fi. The MMO should be made to look just like it did from the 80s cartoon.

    The recently cancelled "Almost Human".

    It looks like it'd be a fun setting.

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    Then why was it cancelled?
