A hypothetical exercise:
What is your dream game? and which dev studio would you ideally have develop it?
The absolute ideal for me would be a pro wrestling game developed by the Yakuza devs, RGG Studio!
I love the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, and I love wrestling games. I always thought the Yakuza combat style was very similar to a lot of wrestling games, including the use of weapons and a system where you build a meter to execute a finishing move. The overall theatricality & flashiness of the Yakuza is so much like wrestling too!
I would take a completely original single-player story with an original cast of characters, but my ideal is that it would be a licensed New Japan Pro Wrestling game, featuring its roster from 2012-onwards. So kind of an expansion of the crossover they did for Yakuza 6 & Kiwami 2.
Maybe you would still play as an original character for the story mode, but I'm imagining a full roster of playable wrestlers in exhibition mode. Kinda like the rosters in the old Hajime no Ippo PS2 games!
