What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

  Nostalgy 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.

  The Darkness.

  Also, Prototype, but someone already mentioned that.

  Tabula Rasa. It was a first/third person sci fi mmo shooter/rpg with craftable mechs, It lasted for a bit more then a year before it shut down, and no private servers have been created since.

  Gundam : Universal Century Online. Picture eve but mostly on the ground and with combined arms mecha warfare. Start on foot, buy a jetpack, mine some ore, built a tank/jet/mech, fight in the war. It lasted about as long as tabula rasa before it shut down. It currently has no private server.

  Firefall : first/third person sci fi mmo shooter/rpg with craftable mech suits. bla blah, shut down no private server.

  tl/dr: I want a new mech mmo. Or even just to be able to play my old favorite mecha mmos.

  I’d love to see another Fallout game like 1 & 2.

    have you tried kenshi?

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

  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.

  I’d love a new Tomba game.

    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 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.

  Splinter Cell

    I was just thinking about Splinter Cell the other day. It’s crazy how every single third person game turned into a “souls-like”. It seems like we used to get such better diversity in game genres.

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

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

  Disciples, the 2 is still one of my favorite games. The 3 was crap

    Liberation was worse 😭

  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.

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

  source
• AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Sonic Riders. 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.

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

  source

  • MajorHavoc@programming.dev ⁨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.

  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

• funkyfarmington@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

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

  source
• Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Arc the Lad in the art of the originals after III. To be clear, Twilight of the Spirits would still be canon, but it’s also 1,000 years in the future.

  Dirty Bomb 2

  Not “revived” since it’s still going, but I wish the mega man series would modernize. It’s 2024, I get side scroller was megaman’s thing but how I would love a modern, ratchet and Clank style platformer/open world where you go to different parts of the city to fight the different robots. But Capcom and most Japanese game companies are insanely opposed to modernizing and of making their games look current. Graphics wise they’re always outdated

  MAG from the PS3.

  arc the lad 2 twilight of spirits. Not the arc the lad series but the stories and themes explored in the particular game 2

  source
• Schtefanz@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Bully 2 would be great

• ObsidianZed@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  +1 for Populous.

  But my answer to this every time is Red Faction (1, specifically. While I did enjoy Guerrilla, I want to see a throw back to more fully destructible environments on next gen tech).

  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.
