  • Rockstar hires the voice actors and builds the overworld
  • Naughty Dog does the animation and environments
  • Blizzard manages the online multiplayer
  • Mass Effect 2 writers develop story and characters
  • Bethseda handles the RPG elements
  • Valve decides the release date

that would be a nightmare and a whole bunch of problems would slow development.

If there are driving mechanics to the game, then also get a top designer from Codemasters in there.

Valve builds the source, Nintendo comes in with design, mechanics, and charm, then Blizzard finishes it with physicality and everlasting online service.

That sounds like a nightmare, having multiple star studios working on the same game like that. But if you mean multiple star individuals from different studios, then that could work out. Chrono Trigger, for example, turned out great like that.

Naughty Dog as head

Blizzard for CGI

Bioware for RPG

Yeah but then it becomes a movie-action game w/ dialogue options.

So you have a joke of an RPG with nice graphics and imbalanced multiplayer that will never ever be released.

I don't know why people treat Bethesda as the greatest RPG developers ever; all they're good at are making first-person walking simulators in a large overworld where you have a pretty huge amount of freedom. Unfortunately they've kept that niche subgenre for themselves since nobody's ever offered a serious challenge. But the RPG elements in Skyrim and Fallout 3 are watered down.

ordered from most influential to least (as in if there is a dispute between two divisions requirements in a particular area then the person/company higher up takes precedence). Also making an adventure game.

Nintendo: nuts and bolts game mechanics though the nintendo divison headed by michael ancel.

CDPR: Lore and Art direction and joint world design with:

Bethesda: overall say in world design.

Music by jeremy soule.

Purpose built engine built by a team lead by tim sweeney.

But this would be the best game:

  • Producer -> Gabe Newell
  • Lead Designer -> Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone
  • Lead Writer -> Chris Avallone
  • Game Building -> CDPR
  • Polish/QC -> Blizzard
  • Music -> JunkieXL

Standards too high and no payed metacritic fanboy padding reviews! I can imagine those 1000's of more AAA/AA being 10/10's if such scams existed on PC!

So you want a big, gorgeous open world with crappy storytelling and writing, shitty RPG elements, and for it to never be released?

Platinum does the combat

CD Projekt does the overworld/ story

Obsidian does's the rpg elements

Chris Avellone does the writing

Nobuo Uematsu and Jack Wall(or Marty O Donell) composes the music

Naughty Dog handles animation/mocapping

Miyamoto is in charge of the product.

So all the characters will have circles at the end of invisible limbs? Yeah, no thanks.

Doesn't matter since it would never get released with valve involved.

Bestheda for RPG elements? Nah. Obsidian or Blizzard. I would say Naughty Dog, Crytek, or Epic Games for visuals and animations, but after looking at Ratchet and Clank on PS4, i'm thinking Insomniac Games. Just look at these man:

Pixar quality graphics at last. And definately Rockstar for open world. And shit, I haven't really gotten into Mass Effect, but is it really that much better than Naughty Dog games for characters? The whole dialouge looks stiff in my opinion.

Kojima, Chris Roberts, Todd Howard and just for good measure throw in Peter Molyneux.

They would probably come out with the best stealth/space/rpg with gay marriage know to man.

Hideo Kojima, Gabe Newell, Peter Molyneux.

Peter boasting a load of features that will never be in the game, Hideo trolling people non stop, Gabe saying the game will be released when it's done.
