Hmmm.

I read pretty far down and it's nice to see everyone tossing their own ideas and all (loved the achievements part xD) BUT I think you're all putting the cart before the horse.

Yes, a 3D RWBY game would be awesome. No matter if it's hack n'slash or JRPG or anything in between. HOWEVER, that is not just unlikely,  it would be more accurate to say it would be almost impossible to happen. Look at all the anime of the season (and I know many of us here are anime fans as well): Has anyone made a SnK game? A SAO game? A (insert popular anime name) game? A SAO game was actually made but not Internationally ported but that's not the point). The only series to be famous enough to get their own game(s) as far as I know are Dragon Ball, Naruto Bleach and One Piece. That's the level of popularity we'd need to make it to the big name companies (like Valve or Squenix or better yet Tecmo Koei-Bethesda is awesome but they have pretty much 0 experience outside of RPG's afaik)

HOWEVER, an arcade beat'em up is FAR, Far easier to make AND would allow us to enjoy RWBY in all it's glory,both with the rich story and the awesome combat (a-la Guilty Gear, BlazBlue?). Heck, even if RT never gets that far, using the MUGEN system it could even be community made!

Long post, so tl;dr is don't focus on the impossible (3D game of any kind, mostly), focus on the possible(2D Side-scroller,Beat'em up). Or at least the more likely.
