What crossover would you like to see on PlayStation 4?

The team know how much I love PES, and I can see Konami’s football sim being even better if it were to embrace some of the insanity of PS2’s Red Card Soccer. The old arcade kick-about from Midway was football without the rules. Imagine games of PES where flying kicks to the face would result in Mortal Kombat-like slow-mo cinematics… brilliant, huh? Red Card also featured neat arcade touches like power-ups and special moves. It was a fighting game living inside a football sim. PES and Red Card wrapped into one whole? Even the OPM team could finally join me for a match.

I misspent much of my youth scouring the internet for fighters and plugging them into MUGEN, the more improbable the pair-up the better. Pingu versus Sailor Moon? Dance, my puppets, dance! But this time I’ll attempt not to apply quite such a haphazard sense of logic… as much as I’d love to see an Elder Scrolls Online and Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid mash-up (when Elsweyr launches, you just know there’ll be some dragon fanciers out there desperate to befriend the wyrms). Instead, I’ll pick something practically sensible: I would love to see Dante and Bayonetta share a slice of pizza.

Every time Geralt is transported via portal from his world to another crossover I can’t help but smile. Doug Cockle’s voice acting is iconic; I’m always going to be endeared to hearing him grumble about whatever new world he finds himself in.

As Final Fantasy XIV is already opening its universe doors to other franchises, I’d love to see what Geralt would make of Eorzea. It’s unlikely we’d get a crossoverspecific job, but some crossover iconic gear for Geralt’s arsenal would be sublime. I’d love to team up with him to take on some classic primals, but would also love to track down some fearsome The Witcher monsters.

Poor old Lara. She’s a bit of a sad girl nowadays, torn up with angst and not quite sure where the line gets drawn between good and bad at times. She needs to fall in with a gang of improbablehaired adventurers who can show her what fighting for the right cause looks like, while she can teach them how to pound monsters into Pedigree Chum and hunt out treasure in creepy forests and ancient ruins. Plenty of Dragon Quest characters have British accents, titles, and/or parental issues, so she’d be right at home. And after a spell gleefully walloping drackies and slimes, Crofty might get her ’90s bounce back.
