Stage Select:
Prehistoric. Not sci-fi settings like Turok or Dino Crisis, but legit prehistoric settings where you play as a cave (wo)man. I don't even care if the old trope of mixing prehistoric humans with dinosaurs and Permian Period synapsids comes into play or if they stick with the prehistoric mammals that actually coexisted with humans. Heck, I'd take a gritty RPG version of The Flintstones.
The United States in a setting that is not in New York City, LA, Vegas, or Miami. I've always said that GTA in Texas would be funny as hell if they really played up the things Texas is known for. They could do a 21st century version of New Austin. North Florida (Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Sarasota), would also be funny with everything going on there that's so ripe for parody. Or Oklahoma. Or Albuquerque. I'm surprised there weren't games made that were based on Breaking Bad.
Larian should tackle a D&D game based on Dragonlance, with Dragonlance characters like Raistlin and Caramon playing roles in the story. Or maybe they shoud make a D&D RPG based on the 1980s Saturday morning cartoon.
I'd like to see more medical-themed video games. We kind of got a taste with that with Atlus's Trauma Center series on the Wii and DS, which launched concurrently with the Ace Attorney series in the US, but Atlus stopped making those after five years. Maybe a game where you play as a heroic nurse.
And there's another idea I just had: Capcom should team up with Vince Gilligan and Bob Odenkirk to make Ace Attorney: Saul Goodman.
Cage Match:
Going with Heretic, mostly for nostalgia reasons as I played that with my dad when I was a teenager. It also had a pretty good soundtrack.
