The cute-but-deadly approach

Goose
My first instinct is to recruit Goose… no, not that goose, I mean Captain Marvel’s adorable cat who just so happens to be a Flerken – you know, that alien species that can shoot tentacles from its face. With the agility and deceptive cuteness of a feline, Goose would be able to infiltrate enemy bases and launch surprise attacks on the unwitting Wolves who think he’s just a harmless kitty. 

Animal Crossing Villager (Super Smash Bros) 
Super Smash Bros Animal Crossing Villager is another deceptively deadly character. As a fighter who became a meme so powerful they cannot be stopped, the villager in Smash with his ruthless killer persona would perfectly befit any dangerous close-combat fighting with ex-ghosts or drones. 

Chansey 
In every team you need a healer, and with Chansey’s Soft-Boiled move that can heal 50% health, you can’t go wrong. Generally I’d try to keep her out of sight, but the Lucky Punch item Chansey can hold (that increases her critical hit rate) would come in very handy if she gets caught up in any hairy situations. 

Dogmeat (Fallout 3) 
Having a good doggo who can alert you to an enemy presence with his heightened sense of smell is always helpful when you’re on a dangerous island where lots of folks are out to kill you. He can also scout for loot and find any useful weapon blueprints or gear and generally just be a very good boy. Heather Wald

Team Moiras

Me
I’m going to assume that I’m included in this four-person Ghost Recon squad, because my ego demands that I am important enough to join an elite group of highly-trained military assassins.

Moira from Overwatch – She heals, she damages, she’s an impossibly-tall Irish eugenicist. This may not sound ideal, but the woman has ice cold blood running through her veins (with maybe a dash of Jameson). She can fade in and out of areas (perfect for stealth) and throw damage orbs that’ll bounce around rooms, sucking the life out of enemies. She can also throw healing orbs at people who are rushing in too quickly. Sure, she’s not much of a conversationalist, but I’m not here to talk, I’m here to kill.

Captain Marvel – This is a no-brainer. She’s clearly the most OP superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (she went toe-to-toe with big bad Thanos, for Christ’s sake), and she has amazing hair. She also has a helmet that emphasizes her amazing hair, which hopefully she can procure for me, as well. She’s cool, calm, and collected, and she can change the color of her suit so we could all match and be best friends. Plus, she’s Brie Larson. Need I say more? Oh, the cat can come, too.

Moira from Schitt’s Creek but as Dr. Clara Mandrake from The Crows Have Eyes II – I want two Moiras on my team, okay? Two polar opposite Moiras would bring me immense joy. Plus, Moira Rose has impeccable fashion sense, and we can really double down on being the team with cool hair once she brings all of her wigs to the battlefield. But I specifically request Moira Rose as Dr. Clara Mandrake, a scientist who is half-human, half-crow that leads crow mutants and causes the apocalypse. I want that on my team, no questions asked. The power that she has…untouchable. Alyssa Mercante

Ghost, Goose, Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum – Hidden behind the quirky stutters and tics of a man who has more charisma than he knows what to do with is someone who at least sounds convincing. Give him a script filled with plans and jargon – see Independence Day and Jurassic Park – and he’ll give you a speech to make sure shit gets done. I mean, it’ll probably get everyone killed – but Goldblum makes it all sound worthwhile. A motivator to the very end.

Casper the Friendly Ghost – Unlike some of my other choices (naming no names *cough* Jeff Goldblum), Casper might actually be useful in a fight. He can’t be shot, can breach through walls instantly, and according to the Casper Wiki – trust me, I checked – he’s over 200 years old. I.e. he’s seen some shit. A probable war veteran and unkillable. Punisher, eat your heart out.

The goose from Untitled Goose Game – Our quack team of killers will need some assistance in killing faceless soldiers – and there’s none better at sneaking behind enemy lines than the goose that’s already broken the internet at least twenty times already this month. Mister Goose is equally adept at ruining picnics as he is at committing various war crimes, trust me. It’s all in the eyes.

Captain Price – Because they can’t all be joke answers. What the fuck is Jeff Goldblum, a smiley ghost, and a goose going to do to extremists and separatists Bradley Russell

John Bernthal

I would choose Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher, Jon Bernthal’s Shane from The Walking Dead, and the actor Jon Bernthal, alongside my own in-game character who I’ve made to closely resemble Jon Bernthal, because what better way to take on Colonel Walker, Jon Bernthal’s new villain in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, than with a literal army of alternative Jon Bernthals. I also love the idea of Walker having an existential crisis from being hunted by a squad of his own clones, with a final showdown that wouldn’t look entirely dissimilar from that Agent Smith fight scene in The Matrix: Reloaded (opens in new tab)… except everyone’s Jon Bernthal. Alex Avard

Witchers, knights and Destiny

Solaire (Dark Souls): Every good squad needs an emotional anchor, and I can’t think of anyone more suited to defusing tense combat situations than the effervescently joyous knight Solaire. He won’t be the stealthiest person in our squad, but he’ll keep morale high. 

Geralt (The Witcher): We’re gonna need some go-getters who can get things done, and if Geralt can handle gryphons and werewolves and basilisks, I reckon he’ll have no trouble with a couple of dudes with guns. He’ll have one sword for men, one sword for monsters, and one high-powered assault rifle for armed mercenaries.  

Sam Gideon (Vanquish): Admittedly, the main reason Sam is in the squad is because I would kill to see a conversation between him and Geralt. That said, he also knows how to handle a gun and look real cool while smoking a cigarette, and quite frankly those are the most important qualities of any Tom Clancy character. 

Zavala (Destiny): This squad needs a leader – a leader with blue skin, no hair, and the ability to create giant impenetrable bubbles when the plot demands it. Zavala also has the added advantage of bringing Lance Reddick’s voice to the squad, which is a huge bonus. Austin Wood

Goku and Lyudmila

Goku: He’s best known for taking on super-powered aliens in hand-to-hand/beam-to-beam combat, but Goku’s also fought plenty of dudes with guns. He’s so strong that their bullets don’t even hurt him.

Super Saiyan Goku: He’s like Goku but way stronger.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko: One of the greatest soldiers in recorded history, Pavlichenko killed at least 309 enemy combatants in her time as a Red Army sniper. The Wolves would scoff at her old-fashioned Mosin-Nagant rifle if they ever managed to get within 300 yards of her, which they would not.

Ultra Instinct Goku: This is the strongest Goku. Not including him on my Ghost Recon squad would be ridiculous. Connor Sheridan

 Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain 

I put a few hours into Metal Gear Solid 5 (opens in new tab) near launch, but I had already heard too much about how the final act was marred by repetition and an unsatisfying conclusion. I just couldn’t get excited enough to see where the story went and it kept me from enjoying the rest of MGS5. Blame Peace Walker’s false ending, I guess, because it annoyed me enough that I never bothered to keep playing for the “true” conclusion. Anyway, a few years of reconsideration on my part and a freshly remastered next-gen version of MGS5 would be enough to get me past that hump. Though in my heart of hearts, what I really want is for Konami and Hideo Kojima to patch things up long enough for him to return and give his final entry in the Metal Gear saga the edit pass and proper conclusion it deserves. I also want to see him cook up more bizarre business like Death Stranding with the independent Kojima Productions, but a brief reunion with his old company and series could go far. Connor Sheridan 

Infamous: Second Son / Last Light 

It doesn’t matter how many wonderful games come along, the PS4’s pair of early exclusives still have a special place in my memory. Anthem may have cool Javelins and Spider-Man PS4 (opens in new tab) might have you swinging through Manhattan, but it’s floating through Seattle using smoke or literally sucking the neon from billboards that made my heart soar. I loved the innovative ways Infamous: Second Son and Last Light used the DualShock, made fantastic use of the early graphics powers long before PS4 Pro was a twinkle in Shaun Layden’s eye, and introduced characters that were as flawed as they were average humans, the kind of characters you could see yourself going for a beer with. Plus, a game that makes me feel like one of the X-Men is always going to go down well with me. Sam Loveridge

Quantum Break

If anything is going to be remastered from this miserable generation it’s going to have to be Quantum Break (opens in new tab). Okay, listen, when it comes to Quantum Break, I can’t get enough of it and I refuse to be impartial. When some people get in at 3 am on a Friday night they put on Netflix, but I put on the Quantum Break live-action episodes. Patrick Heusinger gives the performance of his young life as badass Liam Burke, and that my friends is a true fact. What am I supposed to do when Project Scarlet comes out? Dig my Xbox One out of the cupboard at three in the morning? I don’t bloody think so. Besides, imagine how amazing those live-action episodes will be in 8k or whatever ridiculous video format is the standard by then. Quantum Break is the most entertaining action game of this generation and it will be the most entertaining action game of the next generation – hell, maybe even the generation after that – if Bruce Livingston’s Time Knife screenplay takes off and gets the DLC recognition that it truly deserves. Oh Quantum Break, the generational divide between next-gen consoles will never tear us apart. Never. Josh West 

Mass Effect: Andromeda

Don’t look at me like that. I just think that after the star-spangled brilliance of the first Mass Effect trilogy, Bioware should get another chance to release Mass Effect: Andromeda (opens in new tab) as it was meant to be. You know, with fewer characters going through the whole thing looking like they’re working their way through a bag of dangerously sour taffy. A remaster would give Bioware room to make a few tweaks to the more mawkish moments of the story, and dear god, it could even cut out that awful planetary travel animation that seemed to take hours. Just remove the whole thing and throw it on the fire. With just a few changes, and a shiny coat of next-gen varnish (and a few years to tamp down the outrage over the original release), we could all finally enjoy Andromeda and its Pyjak. Rachel Weber

Sunset Overdrive

Before Spider-Man was ever a twinkle in Insomniac’s eye, Sunset Overdrive (opens in new tab) proved the studio had a real talent for nailing kinaesthetics in open-world games. The obnoxious story didn’t do it any favors, but Sunset Overdrive’s action-infused mobility deserves another chance to be appreciated on next-gen consoles, where a smoother frame rate and native 4K resolution could make those fizzy visuals pop even louder (if that’s even possible). Plus, if a remaster meant PlayStation players could finally get in on the action, I reckon there’s a good chance Sunset Overdrive could finally receive the recognition (and sales numbers) it really deserves. Alex Avard

Bloodborne

Let’s get this out of the way right now: I will take any excuse to play Bloodborne (opens in new tab)again. That aside, a PS5 Bloodborne remaster could also improve the game’s load times, which are a bit of a buzzkill even after its many updates, as well as the occasional FPS dips you see playing on a normal PS4 (I can’t speak to PS4 Pro performance). Putting more powerful hardware behind it would in theory take care of most of that, and a proper remaster would give From Software a golden opportunity to update the game’s fast-travel system. I really wish you could go from lantern to lantern without stopping by the Hunter’s Dream hub every time. That’d be like 50 percent fewer loading screens right there. And while the game looks great to begin with, I wouldn’t complain about some enhanced visuals either. Let’s make those blood splatters sing. Austin Wood

 Horizon Zero Dawn 

Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn (opens in new tab) sits proudly in my collection of PS4 games, which is good, but it’s still got the shrink wrap on, which is bad. To my great shame, I never made time for one of the best games of 2017 (opens in new tab), as I seem to have a bad habit of only taking on massive open-world adventures when they star a superhero. At this point, I have to be honest with myself and admit that I may never get around to this acclaimed PS4 exclusive or The Frozen Wilds (opens in new tab) DLC… unless a PS5 remastered bundle rolls around and lures me in with even prettier visuals. I’m imagining Aloy darting around robo-dinos at a smooth 60 fps, in a lush landscape full of super high-res textures and the kind of draw distances that would make a modern console buckle. Lucas Sullivan  

God of War

Look, I know it came out really recently. I know. But if God of War (opens in new tab) looked that eye-wateringly glorious on PS4, just think what Kratos’ worn skin and Atreus’ little red quiff would look like with brand new technology behind the game, pushing it to even newer levels of graphical prowess. The forests of Alfheim would be so delicate, so unearthly that you’d be able to spend hours in photomode getting the lighting just right, and the Valkyries would probably look so lethally beautiful that you might not even mind when they bellow “VALHALLA” and beat you to a pulp. I mean, the closer they get with those attacks, the more detail you can drink in, right? As the launch of God of War was the PS4’s crowning moment (fight me), having a remastered version for the PS5 would link the two consoles nicely – I can practically see the PS5 + God of War bundles on the shelves already. And despite the prospect of having to live on beans and toast for a month afterwards, I can see myself walking away with one without any hesitation whatsoever. Zoe Delahunty-Light
