I want there to be a game where you are scored more for setting up cool stuff to happen than pure completion of goals, like a wrestling game where your score is ultimately if you put on a good match or not, not whether you won or lost the match.
A game that rewards playing smoothly and cinematically more than it does not taking damage and beating the level fast; a game where you could still complete a level without achieving the specific goal depending on if you sold a good enough "performance".
Anyway feel free to post great game ideas you have had forever, or talk about this one, but if youre going to post ideas they should be more conceptual than like "a new die hard game" or "a universal monsters beat em up" because that is lazy.

Here's a great video game idea from many ages ago, which only recently has finally been embarked upon in 2 or 3 fashions but never quite as epically as it should be.

I like this reversal of usual game ideas, like a tower defensey reverse beat em up would be really cool. You pick the guys to throw at the attackers, who would be like the main characters in a regular beat em up, maybe you level up your guys and unlock new types by base management/"drug dealer" type gameplay. At the end of a level theyve made it to the boss, weakened or not depending on how well you did, and you face the "main character" like a fighting game
