For example, for me, I would *love* a new Populous game based from what was done in Populous 3. That, and a new SimCity based on SimCity 4!

Mercenaries. Made by dice would be killer, would be a great opportunity for them to explore different mechanics and maybe even inspire a better battlefield.

A bit of an obscurer one, but I would love another Black & White, based on Black & White 2. It's a god game where you control a giant bipedal creature, control a city (or several) and battle against other gods through architecture and combat. You can train your creature to do things you prefer and expand your influence however you like.

It had a good/evil morality system, is completely winnable by being a pacifist, and has a really cute style of humor.

No other God game has quite scratched that itch and it's still fun to this day almost 20 years later.

I'd like them to give 'Z' (Bitmap Brothers) another go.

The Darkness.

Jackie Estacado fought through hell to save his girlfriend only for her to get bad touched by an angel and fly away leaving him there to Rot.

We never got to see that story finished.

Jak & Daxter, definitely. I want to know more about the whole Mar lore

Guardian Heroes for Sega Saturn. I know there was the GBA sequel, but it was terrible, and a very different style game.

half-life 3 but apparently gabben only uses his ceo power to shut down discussions about making hl3

Jazz Jackrabbit. Poor fella's been abandoned for over 2 decades now. Really fun platformer, a 3rd game was in early works, but Epic ditched it to focus entirely on Unreal

Star Wars Jedi Knight series. As is, there's Dark Forces (Star Wars Doom), Jedi Knight (Star Wars Quake 2), Jedi Outcast (awesome) and Jedi Academy (good, but JO is overall more polished). Thank fuck the years of EA-exclusive Star Wars games is over. There are several other SW game series that deserve to make a return (Republic Commando, X-Wing/Tie-Fighter, KotOR), but my first vote would go for Jedi Knight

Ape Escape. I would love one with the scope of areas similar to Super Mario Odyssey

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Specter! I should replay those games.

I'd love a new Tomba game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

The first game plays so much better than the 2nd! Never finished the 2nd game, now that I think about it.

Another thing that I have a (possibly fake) memory from the 1st game is, near the start, with those carnivorous egg-looking-plants and farting peaches, I remember once managing to get one of those plants to go up right as the peach farted, which triggered a small event and turned the plant into a mini thing-item to collect. Maybe it was only in the demo and scrapped for the full game?

I want a Revenge remake! 😁

A lot of people will disagree, but I loved Star Fox Adventures. It was easily my favorite Star Fox game.

3D Rayman games, the only one I played was Rayman 2, so that's all I can go off of.

BIONICLE, the game to the movie was a bit janky, but so much fun!

Pokémon Rumble: I remember only liking the first one (didn't play the second), and really disliking Rumble U. There's a mobile game now apparently, but...no thanks.

A very obscure one: Onslaught, from the Wii Shop. A first person sci-fi shooter with Wii motion controls, playing on an alien planet with giant bug creatures. Quite reminiscent of Helldivers or Starship Troopers.

Asura's Wrath: I think a remake would be nice, not sure if there's much space for a sequel, the ending fit quite nicely.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: I'm gonna count this as its own franchise separate from the other Xenoblade games, and a remaster, remake or sequel would be amazing.

Bonus: Borderlands 2 had a good setup for a sequel, an incredible villain and such great characters. I'd love to see where they'd take their stories, like Maya & Krieg. Should be about time for Borderlands 3, I'm sure it'd be great! (FUCK WHYYYYY)

NFL 2K. NFL 2K5 was so good and scared EA so much, it led to the EA/NFL exclusivity deal and the death of the entire football game genre for the last few decades now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

i want the Just Cause series to continue on from the second installment but instead of focusing on the movement, focus on the world building and setpieces. the plot in JC2 is completely batshit insane and ends in a fistfight atop a speeding ICBM. they kinda just forgot about that part in the sequels in favor of adding tornado guns or whatever.

I really loved playing ps2 military shooters like SOCOM and Conflict Desert Storm. It would be fun to see how those games would be made today.

Sonic Riders, the currently dead Sonic racing spin-off. Don't have any experience with the third entry since I've never used a kinect, but building/branching off of Zero Gravity would be amazing.

Power Stone 3, Half Life 3, Need For Speed Underground 3...

Basically a bunch of 3s

how about more original IPs instead? new and exciting ventures we havent seen before

~~with that being said, nightmare creatures 3 when~~

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

we get those in spades, they're just all 5v5 hero shooters with moba elements

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago
