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!

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

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

  • Brandish, based on Brandish II
  • Kuon, based on Kuon
  • Clock Tower, continuing from Clock Tower 3 but actually good
  • SimCity, based on the original.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion, based on Neon Genesis Evangelion 2: Evangelions
  • Record of Lodoss War, based on the Dreamcast game
  • Policenauts, but only Kojima can be the one to make the next game
  • Tresspasser, based on the original
  • Danganronpa, but more like the first 2 and not v3, though I wouldn't mind another try at Ultra Despair Girls with an actually decent story
  • John Romero's Daikatana
  • MechAssault
  • XENON - 夢幻の肢体 (XENON - Fantasy Body), I wouldn't mind seeing a remake in the style of something like Life is Strange or a similar type of story game for this one, though I would demand it keep the original 90s art style
  • Parasite Eve
  • Megaman Legends
  • King's Field
  • Panzer Dragoon Saga
  • F-Zero
  • Hybrid Heaven
  • BattleTanx
  • Dino Crisis

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.

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

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Nostalgia drive engaged !

The Crusader series (No Remorse, No Regret) could have been built upon, with its famously cheesy live-action cutscenes.

The Quarantine series disappeared after its second installment, Road Warrior. Come to think of it, most mainstream vehicular combat games went away, like the Interstate series.

The Discworld adventure games (1, 2, Noir) were famously convoluted, but they did a pretty good job of adapting Pratchett's world into video games.

Finally I would have liked to play the initially planned sequels to Advent Rising. I have (probably rose-tinted) fond memories of that game, but hey, you asked.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Here's a rather wacky one: Star Tropics. A sequel to Zoda's Revenge would just blow my mind.

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

[-] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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.

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

Spectrobes, spent a ton of time in all 3 games as a kid. Apparently the 3rd game sold pretty poorly even though I would argue it was probably the best of the 3. It had just about everything one would want from a pokemon rpg, it even allowed for 2 players! Super upset that Disney killed it :(

New entry should absolutely follow the footsteps of the 3rd game (origins). Only thing I would hope that is improved is some of the terrain paths were kinda narrow and hard to accurately maneuver the horse-like mount around. That super frustrated me as a kid as it was much faster than walking, but all the time you ended up losing from getting caught on terrain, having to dismount/dismiss the mount, turn around, then resummon/remount made it more efficient to just walk.

The combat was fun enough on the 3rd, but my absolute favorite part was the excavation of fossils. Trying to go as fast as I could while also being super careful to not damage the fossil and having that linked to better stats for spectrobes was SO much better than breeding/catching new pokemon to me. It felt much more engaging than hoping for good rng.

If they won't make a new one, the least they should do is remaster the games for switch. Which they also probably wouldn't have to do much for the remaster as I would argue even the original version looks the same/better graphically than the latest pokemon releases for switch.

The Saboteur had such great potential. I enjoyed the concept and the artistic use of color in the game.

[-] FluorideMind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Intelligent Qube

Not a series, but I'd like another.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 1 year 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.

You know what, fucking Bubsy. Let's see another one of those fuckers. Let's give it to a dev like insomniac though. That's what I want to see. Let's take something that never quite pulled it together and make that shit shine! Give Bubsy his chance in the sun.

There's a fair amount of failed mascots that had small followings or good ideas badly executed. Instead of rehashing the already beloved, let's see some genuine attempts to redeem some of the benchwarmers.
