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!
how about more original IPs instead? new and exciting ventures we havent seen before
with that being said, nightmare creatures 3 whenwe get those in spades, they’re just all 5v5 hero shooters with moba elements
quite original indeed
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
Splinter Cell, specifically picking up where Chaos Theory left off. Use it to showcase Unreal Engine 5 lighting and make it a proper, spectacular stealth game again with Spies v. Mercs multiplayer.
Oh man, just made my own comment on black and white, and I assumed I was the only one. Black & White 2 is still the best God game out there for me and it was so much fun.
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.
Panzer Dragoon. I only played and finished Panzer Dragoon Orta for the XBox when it came out. I tried the included original game, but I had a hard time telling depth and perception with the old graphics.
Earthbound. Even an official western release of Mother 3 would be nice.
I’d love to see Monkey Island revived as a more open-world style game on the order of Fallout.
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.
Burnout, but takedown style, NOT paradise/open world
It’s insane I can’t just have a game where I can do ridiculous crashes and uses cars as bullets.
NOT
paradise/open worldJeez, I am with you in this one, what is wrong selecting tracks and having less open world games in general?
Butnout: Paradise was the good shit
But they took out crash mode. Yeah, you could crash whenever in the open world, but I loved the puzzle game aspects of the old crash mode.
What kind of mode is that ?
'Cause there was a mode you were scored on the amount of mayhem you caused.Crash mode was sort of like Angry Birds but with exploding cars and 10x the production value. You’d get score multipliers for causing the most damage possible.
They had pre-arranged intersections with set traffic patterns and multipliers and stuff scattered about, so it was a puzzle as well as a driving challenge.
oh that’s cool !
This is my number one gaming wish. The old school burnout games were great! Couldn’t get into Paradise and all the driving around in between races.
Ape Escape
I only ever played the first one. I firmly believe it has one of the best soundtracks of all time.
Bully 2 would be great
I’d love to see another jak and daxter
Wipeout. They can continue from Omega, it was great fun. Formula Fusion is a really cool spiritual successor by many of the original minds, but it’s a little lacking in content.
Edit: lol, took me four hours to realise that continuing on after Omega rather ruins the title of that one
have you tried BallisticNG? very similar feel imo.
I was actually slightly put off by how tightly it looked like it was imitating the first couple of Wipeout games, like the UI being almost identical and a bunch of the teams being the Wipeout ones with the serial numbers filed off. Like they’re unwilling to try their own ideas, you know? If it’s so similar, well I can still play the old games. I assume you feel differently?
i think that’s sort of the whole point. i mean the dev is called Neognosis. though i can definitely see how that could be unsettling if you’re intimately familiar with the franchise, which i am not.
i had the pc version of 2097 as a child and i could never get the hang of it. too technical for a 9-year-old i guess. so i never really had any nostalgia for the specifics, i just saw Ballistic on sale and thought “hey that looks like wipeout, I wonder if they still have that weird floaty feel”. it does feel like i remember, and after spending some time with it i really enjoy it even though i’m still no good 25 years later.
also they did add go-karts so it’s not entirely plagiarized ;)
Hah, well maybe I pre-judged it too much. I’ll keep an eye out for a sale on it
Planetside 2. So a Planetside 3 would be nice.
Yes. Please.
What’s insane to me is that they are still regularly updating the game. How they can do that with 1.5 monthly players is a mystery to me. But props to them for sticking with a game for so long.I haven’t logged in for nearly three years. Has TI been overhauled again?
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Of course there is always OpenTTD, which has by far exceeded the original, but I would just like to see a modern game (not necessarily in terms of graphics) with the same vibe. Transport Fever and all the other variants never quite achieved the same depth and complexity.
Locomotion was the official “spiritual” sequel, but I remember that game being horribly disappointing.
Master of Orion I loved I and II. The third apparently bombed and reboots have failed.
Sim City I mean the real Sim city as Maxis would have made it. Not a cash grab, not a mobile game, not a “city painter” where any simulation takes a back seat to decorating with DLC assets.
Super Mario RPG no those other, spiritual successors do not count. They are fine games on their own but not the same.
Lost in Blue not the fanciest games, but I enjoyed them. There are plenty of modern games in the genre, but I haven’t found one that quite fits…
There hasn’t really been a good vehicular combat game in awhile, like Vigilante 8 or Twisted Metal
I also noticed there haven’t really been any good couch party games besides Mario party; think Crash Bash, Pokemon stadium, fusion frenzy, and the like.
