10 Incredible Video Games The Industry Will NEVER Do (And Why)

On a global scale, the video game industry is worth over $90 billion.

In light of that, it’s hard to think of a development team that hasn't or isn't already creating a product that caters to the weirdest, most specific niche you’ve ever heard of.

A game where you work as border patrol that’s actually fun? We’ve got that. Various legitimate forms of farming games that don’t bore you to tears? We’ve got that, too. A game that houses the most famous horror killers to pit against survivors? Really, we’re spoiled for choice.

However, there are some ideas for games that I’m pretty sure the industry won’t touch. Sometimes these ideas might even sound good, but when you break them down into what they'd end up playing like, you soon realise it would lose your attention quickly. A cool, powerful character seems alright from the outside but when you realise he's an unkillable monster, then the challenge disappears. Ultimately, there are risks involved in even the coolest ideas and that’s exactly the point. This list will look at 10 video games the industry will never do, be it down to budget, lack of priority or potential risk.

Supporting characters are no stranger to the Dishonored franchise. In all actuality, Dishonored is as much about the people The Outsider has touched with his mark as it ever was about Corvo himself. From Corvo to Daud and Emily to Billie, we’ve played as four very different characters who each bring their own supernatural flair to the table. However, this flair would mean nothing without the motivation of The Outsider himself.

It’s hard to explain exactly what The Outsider is, he’s in the same grey area as the G-Man, with a lot more talking. A mix between some kind of god and some kind of otherworldly presence, The Outsider bestows his powers, stopping time, teleportation, etc. onto others.

So, how awesome would it be to play as the power generator himself? Well, it would have been until Arkane released Death of the Outsider. That’s not to say it’s entirely because he was laid to rest in this standalone DLC, but it’s due to the fact he was more or less stuck in another realm.

Awesome powers, interactions with historical figures throughout the Dishonored universe and a look at how The Outsider would run things, but… he’s dead and was held captive in his own universe sized prison.
