While a lot of those games are still holding up well today, I really wish someone made something like this nowadays.
Imagine fighting both an unfolding zombie outbreak and military occupation, like in Prototype, or doing missions for different factions in a huge open world warzone, like in Mercenaries 2, but with modern graphics, physics, and NPC AI.
I don't know about you, but this sounds fucking awesome, pardon my French.
So why are there seemingly no new games like this?
We have the Spiderman games by Insomniac, which kind of go into the direction of Prototype, but from what I can tell, the open world is pretty static, and most of the action happens in missions and scripted events. We also have Cyberpunk 2077, but again, most of the action happens in missions, and dynamic open world stuff, like police chases and gang attacks, were only added in years after the release. The only game I can think of, that does what I'm talking about would be GTA 6, but not only will it be released over a decade after GTA 5, it's also the only upcoming "chaos open world" game far and wide.
