My gaming library is fairly limited compared to hardcore enthusiasts but I don't recall any shooters, FPS or cover-based TPS that let you switch to grappling. At best, you might get a default melee animation or the occasional random one in Deus Ex.

I think allowing players to switch between grappling and shooting would be pretty cool, especially if you could use them as human shields or shove them into other combatants. You could enter a grapple state with certain enemies and have a status bar like Sekiro where once you do a combination of enough blocks or deal enough damage it could open them up to a hand to hand or gun finisher and if the pressure is too hot, you could just release them and bail

Even if it isn't John Wick, it could be a fun idea

Bug was incredible! I only had a demo disc of it and im not sure why we never got the full game but it was so much fun. I played it not long ago and could smell the smell of my old houses living room as i went through the first level. Such a trip down memory lane

I once stumbled upon Summer Games Done Quick

Is that still a thing. Just all speed runs of any game put there with all these different modifiers.

My and my roomates lived by the TV religiously for the whole week it was going on

John Wick would make a fantastic game. Personally I'd like to see it happen (and done properly). But licensed properties have historically had a stigma attached to them. And that fact alone makes any potential developer/publisher think twice before throwing their time and money at a project like this.
