If you could take over a game company... - Page 2

Take over EA, buy Bandai/Namco and Square Enix, and then do what Bit said.

Also buy everyone else and fix all gaming forever.

And then take over the world by threatening to let Rob Liefeld reimagine Chrono Trigger.

If we let Rob Liefeld reimagine Chrono Trigger but completely removed Cross from the continuity... would it be worth it?

No, because Cross was a seed of potential. What we need is to retcon the links from Trigger to Cross made in the DSmake and actually go back and fix Cross up a bit, flesh out the story, fix a few glaring errors, and clean things up so that the cast of Trigger wasn't all nonsensically killed off-screen for no good reason.

I mean, they can still all be killed, but it really should MEAN something. Make Guile Magus as intended and have him comment on things from that perspective, and give the former cast the heroic deaths they deserve, if they end up dying at all (like, the only requirements are actually Lucca and Robo for the sake of Cross' actual plot, and you could easily make it forgivable by treating it with due reverence).

Or, better yet, make that the point of Chrono Break. Cross showed that the past can easily be changed. Have the protagonists of Break go back in time and fix the problems in Cross. I think that Serge getting the power to go do that would actually be pretty cool, and then you could have the old guard return, as well. Just pick out the best few characters from Cross to take with you to combine with the cast of Trigger and off you go.

I'd take over Valve.

Don't get me wrong: I'd pretty much let them do their own thing, since they seem to know what they're doing when it comes to making awesome games. No, my main goal as head of Valve would be to find whoever was in charge of making the next Half Life installment and hit them with a crowbar until they agree to drop whatever it is they're doing now and start making Episode 3. I grow weary of waiting!

Square Enix.
I would actually listen to the fans of the series. That seems to be the biggest problem for Square Enix now-a-days. All they care about it making monies, and while that's understandable as SE is a buisness just like any other, it's cruel. There are so many loved series that the company has made that have just been abandoned, and that needs to change.

Failing that, Capcom. 'Cause I want my Ace Attorney.

I don't see how this is any different from what they are already doing...
Well besides having you taking all the credit for it all that is.

I'd take over Nintendo and fire everyone.

OR, if I decided to not be a jerk, I'd take over EA, see which of the hundred million game licenses they have hidden away in some store cupboard somewhere, abandon half the crap they currently make and start making decent games again, namely SSX and the Strike series for a start.

Then I would remove DRM from existence.

Then I would undoubtedly discover that EA held the licenses to both Populous and Dungeon Keeper, so I'd rally together the original teams, firing my own employees in the process and bring about the next installments in those series' as well.

This would be Year 1 of my master plan to begin the Renaissance of Gaming.

Whoever makes Rock Band and institute cameras which can track player movements to award points for rocking styles while playing. Also I will as completely retooling the singing away from "just sing it pitch perfect" and towards a stylistic judge- I shouldn't be getting points for just hitting notes on a punk song. Needless to say I'll be hiring some wizards to help.

I agree with the above statements on Harmonix and Rock Band and would also have a serious talk with the chief designer about venues and clothes as well as character animations and the extrovertedness thereof. Also I'd reserve the right to personally pick the DLC every sixth week or so.
