Next game idea: Free Roam Zones
One of my favorite but also most disappointing aspects of BfN are the free roam zones. As @stukapooka points out, they all have the same kind of flow; get the basics, defeat a series of bosses so you...

Glad to see people enjoying these ideas and adding their own!
@EA_Darko you bet! As I stated elsewhere, I still love these games and there's so much potential out there for a big, beautiful, silly (of course), and fun PvZ shooter. And even if my ideas aren't used, they can hopefully inspire folks and show that we're more than ready for a new game!
I was questing in GW2 last night, and decided to take a trip down into the sewer and visit the gnome vault and gnomiverse again as I haven't been there in awhile, I turned the HUD off and took these shots:
These areas share the same good and bad of the free roam zones, although the free roam zones do last longer, but they are fun, good looking, and interesting places that just don't last long enough. Making these kinds of places repeatable and replayable would mean that all the work done for these (and while my programming knowledge is mostly archaic or limited to PC-DMIS that I use for work), I imagine that even just one free roam zone requires a lot of effort so I'd love to see them have more reasons to not only play in them, but to go back again and again, replacing the idea of Infinity Time with several different places to visit as often as you like and be rewarded for doing so.
- @Iron_Guard8 I really like how cosmic and strange the trials of gnomus looked and felt.
Like @TheSprinter85 said I would love to see the gnomes be more numerous in a new game as bfn was pretty lacking in them as I really enjoyed infinity time as a concept and the brothers boss hunt because it was challenging without being frustrating to the point of king yeti and you could still carry a brain dead team unlike spooky squash.Something I forgot but I feel would be a huge help is that it will have a function like Ops where you can play solo, but can leave it open, for friends only, or invite only and can join those already playing to help out and play in these zones together. We asked for it in BfN and for Infinity Time in GW2, but never got them for those, it'd be awesome to have the options in the new game!
