Beat 'em Ups - Specifically 2- to 4-player co-op, with splitscreen and LAN support. Either old school side-scrolling or open world/sandbox style. RPG elements, such as leveling and skill trees (or fight move trees) and loot/gear would not go unappreciated. With a wide selection of characters to choose from, each with their own unique fighting style, and/or the ability to create and customize your own character. Something like Godhand meets GTA/Saints Row meets Crackdown meets Dynasty Warriors meets...Diablo. Or something. Turn-based Tactical Strategy RPGs - Similar to Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Silent Storm and, to a lesser degree, stuff like Final Fantasy Tactics. Even better if they found a way to make it co-op, where each player takes control of their own unique squad and work together to accomplish mission goals. Maybe pulling inspiration from tabletop wargames like Warhammer 40K and Warmachine. Zombies. Anything with zombies. Not a genre, but I'd really like more games that offer really good co-op experiences. I don't give a damn about multiplayer, in terms of deathmatch and the like, but I'm instantly interested in any game that lets me team up with a buddy. And, of course, such games should ALWAYS offer splitscreen, where possible, and LAN support.

Turn based strategy games. The genre has even become a bit niche on the PC.

I'd like to see more tactical RPG's, like final fantasy tactics, and more sports games, which aren't an american sport or football.

Strategy games, particularly turn based. RPGs that aren't action games pretending to be RPGs. Survival games that are more than just shooters.

Military shooters with focus on MP...

Jokes aside, RTS and i dont know what to all them but games like Deus Ex. Games that give us many options in the gameplay.

Combat Racing is definitely an ignored genre. I'd welcome an updated Road Rash, but I'd freakin' kill for a modern Rock N' Roll Racing. I swear, the best part about Rage was the buggy racing bits. I want an entire game of that, but expanded on, offering a wider range of vehicle types, upgrades, weapons, defenses, etc. Like Motorstorm meets Twisted Metal or something. Include multiple game types - from standard racing (with weapons, of course) to driving around an open environment collecting points to a smash 'em up demolition derby to a kill 'em all Twisted Metal-style mode - and offer splitscreen and LAN (with the option of splitscreen LAN that supports 4 players on two consoles) and that'd easily be a top choice party game. It's sad. First-person shooters these days tend to focus more on the competitive multiplayer aspect, to the point that the single-player campaigns seems almost half-assed throwaway modes, but nobody seems to be exploiting that same idea in a combat racing genre. Someone seriously needs to change that.

Something entirely new. A new concept.

Serious though:
-Imperialist city-management games like SimCity or Tropico.
-I'm also looking forward to some proper simulations (DCS stuff)
-And some FPS's and RPG's with creative gameplay mechanics.

yyyesssss!!

Been so long since Road Rash made an appearance from EA, it'd be like a new franchise. But only if they concentrate on the fighting instead of the racing (which imo is why the last one failed).

I think we need more Role Playing Games BUT in different setting.No more fantasy!

We need more post-apocalyptic, real-time maybe (Alpha Protocol) or space (Mass Effect) RPGs.

Horror

Survival

Platformers

-

The first 2 most likely are done for the time being. As they are not the big ticket items publishers want.

Puzzle/Platformers. An example would be Tomb Raider

Spy, sneak, stealth, stalking, or assassination games. Examples:

Dishonoured

Assassins Creed 3

Hitman Absotuion

Not all the time. Take Breath of Fire, Dragonquest 8, FF7, Tales of the Abyss for example.

I'd rather have a protagonist who doesn't speak than one who is a drama queen like in Star Ocean the Last Hope.

Adventure/mystery puzzlers or point & click -- like Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, etc.

I so enjoy the HELL outta those games! I only lament Cing (devs of Hotel Dusk series, among others) went under.....damn, why couldn't Nintendo have stepped up and picked up the rights on that?? :(

....and don't even get me started on Capcom & the AA series. STILL waiting on a localization of Ace Attorney Investigations 2....:evil:

I would call Jack from Mass Effect 2 that before Edge.

I like seeing character moments. Moments where the character are affected by the event in the game and not just continue on as it does not matter. The problem is those moments are while it seem many will choose to remember and call the character a whiner. With games as long as JRPG you will get those moments.

I find it hard to enjoy games with Silent protagonist as much. They just feel like they are not apart of the events in the game. They are still better than the brooding character or th hollow shell place holder in most WRPG.
