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!

I'd love to see Monkey Island revived as a more open-world style game on the order of Fallout.

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

As someone who missed Monkey Island the first time around, I would be very down for a FFVII style remaster.

I want to go back and play it, but I worry the controls on the classic will be too much of a drag for me to get through it.

I mean, I don’t think it ever really became a series, but I’d love to see a modern remastering of The Suffering

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

Earthbound. Even an official western release of Mother 3 would be nice.

Titanfall. Titanfall 2 is a banger Video game. I word really like to see it being continued.

StarCraft. I never played Legacy of the Void campaign and I was told the ending was bad. Would be nice to have a StarCraft III though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to see Ultima Online come back, also Legacy of Kain

Dark Cloudy, but it should be built around city building a bit more than combat

Bunch of great suggestions already so I'll add these:

Sid Meier's pirates!

Majesty

Gothic (it's actually getting remake, but if the intro they've showed is anything to go by, it's gonna be a disappointment. We'll see..)

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

Agreed. The lack of a modern remake of Sid Meijer's Pirates is tragic.

Parasite Eve, hell even a remake of the first would be welcome

I’d love to see a modern take on Cannon Fodder, as well as another entry in the Desert/Urban/Soviet/Nuclear Strike series.

Lastly, there was a very fun demo/mod to Sensible Soccer for the Amiga that set the match between UK and Germany, and replaced the ball with a bomb that would periodically explode and eliminate any nearby players. I’d live to see a modern-day version of this, honestly - just some goofy fun!

..and yes, I am fully aware of just how old this makes me all sound.

For a modern Desert Strike check out Cleared Hot on Steam. It's not out yet but it looks promising and it's by a guy who wanted something like Desert Strike. Funnily enough it came up in a similar thread on Reddit a while back and I added it to my wishlist there and then.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

A new Final Fantasy Tactics and I mean one like the classic PS1/PSP game not those strange Advanced titles.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I would love to see Homeworld 3. I know we have HW3, but what we got isn't Homeworld.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A new die hard trilogy game still based on the original movie trilogy but using a modern engine and graphics

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to see need for speed come back following the underground 2 formula.

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

In a similar vein to another commenter wanting a pre-Paradise style Burnout; I’d like another NFS:U entry, but honestly am so over ‘open world’ racing games.. give me a good ol’ fashioned menu any day of the week!

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

THPS 3+4 please

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Outrun. The last one we had, Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, was fucking awesome. I literally bought that for every system they released it on. It’s one of my most played games.

I’d absolutely love a new Outrun in that same vein. There’s been a few half decent clones over the years, but none match both the gameplay, proper branching paths and overall vibes.

SEGA has long since stopped selling it because they no longer have the Ferrari license for the cars. But as a car guy, I’ve easily got dozens of suggestions what to replace them with. Ferrari’s are nice… but I’d also love an Outrun with Lamborghini, Porsche or a whole pack of Japanese cars like NSX, AE86, RX7, Miata…

Outrun with shadow multiplayer. You could see other players on the same road, but without crashing into them.

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

You might enjoy this video if you haven't seen it. Ross is awesome.

Speaking of Ross being awesome, I have to plug this initiative.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I am aware of that excellent video, yes. And indeed I’ve played literally every game he shows there. I really like some of them, but none have that charm that actual Outrun has.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Protoype, with Alex Mercer as the protagonist. Either a reboot or a follow-up to 1 is fine with me.

Black and White. I miss good god games. Most these days seem like they are just casual, mobile style games.

Splinter Cell. Or a similar tactical stealth shooter. Except made by anyone other than Ubishit
