Spending only a part of either budget and pocketing the rest isn't an option, every cent must be used on the game / marketing.

What kind of game do you create?

Honestly, I'd create like a massive RPG, with tons of sidequest. Something like Skyrim but bigger and with actual depth. Gameplay would be like a souls-like, since I like those. And it would also have a flying function, so you can explore both the Earth and Heavens.

The quests would have lots and lots of outcomes, and the main story would have various different ways to be done. Like if you had multiple games in a single disc.

It would also have lots of clothing and armory, since I love customizing the look of my characters. It would also have a deep as fuck character creator, deeper than Black Desert. And I'd make sure to somehow optimize the models to fit any kind of body you make.

Dunno.

The Silmarillion (assuming you could get the license). Either as multiple characters depending on the chapter/how far you are in the game or one character just living in it and interacting with the main players mentioned in the book without taking over their roles.

A platformer collect a thon with at least 50 unique levels and tons of power up's/gadgets.
Alternatively, an old ff style RPG with combat more akin to MMBN.
A new SSX
A new Skate

I'd just do an asset flip and I'd hire myself for 1 billion for the development, and 500 million for the marketing.

Grab as many rad licenses as possible'n make some sick-ass hype-ass crossover fighter with a story mode. Iunno how much game development costs. Maybe throw in some other bullshit modes. Kart racin'. Cookin'. Hero shooter. Dancin'. Datin' sim. Mech battlin'. Insanely-elaborate dress-up system. Rhythm game instrument peripheral support

GTA V cost 365 million and was, at the time was the most expensive game ever made. The fuck can we not do in a game with a billion?

Well this is just a hypotetical.

The most expensive game of all time costed $200Mill. (Star Wars: The Old Republic. At least, going by Wikipedia), can't you just imagine what can you do five times the budget of it? And how far can you make the game reach with that big of a marketing budget? AAA games just get more and more expensive. Take GTA , that one took like $100Mill.+ and it's a single player game. Imagine how much the next GTA is going to cost.

Just use your imagination.

Make an action RPG with a Black/African cast set in an African/Middle Eastern-inspired open world.
The create-a-character would also only have options for different shades of dark skin.

Either that, or make a fighting game with 30 characters and a good number of game modes. ...And a create-a-character mode.

I don't know, man. I just couldn't get into the game. For some reason, I wasn't able to identify with the main character.
