10 Perfect Video Game Ideas EVERYONE Is Ignoring

9. Bushido Blade VR

There exists a fascinating subset of the fighting genre, which started on the PlayStation 1 with Bushido Blade and was lightly echoed in 2017's For Honor. The game had a bizarre concept; sharp weapons hurt and will likely kill you in one or two hits.

The Bushido Blade franchise is likely dead forever, but what if we took its core ideals and applied that to the world of VR?

We've seen Dark Souls and Nioh bring this kind of life-or-death struggle to games recently, so applying that design philosophy to the exciting world of VR could make for something really special.

Vader Immortal has already shown us that VR is perfectly capable of satisfying melee combat, but just imagine removing that lightsaber and replacing it with a katana or a wakizashi.

Each match would be a furious bloodbath, ending in minutes as you watch your opponent crumple right in front of you.
