Vampire - The Masquerade

also

NOLF was a great "series" (2 titles)

and of course

System Shock!!!

Maybe we get to see Cate Archer again - but I think they won't do it because it would not become a financial success in the todays world of "cool" MW soldier crap...

command and conquer when westwood was making them lolstreetridaz
EA just insults me with their desperate attempts to rejuvenate a classic but overused style of gameplay, and they then proceed to bastardise its connection with the franchise in the most recent installment.

I would say that the visuals in both games serve their purpose well enough; and that aside I don't think I'd ever want to see anyone other than the same developers or a totally dedicated team of fans attempt a remake.

The Elder Scrolls. Yes, I know it isn't dead, but I don't want to wait two or whatever years for a release, I'd have them make a new TES over Fallout 4 any day.

a proper successor to EMPIRE EARTH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

other than that umm... Hexen? there is Hexen: Edge of Chaos coming though...

how about a Daikatana remake? the potential was there... it was just the worst develop management in the history of gaming.

While it's not exactly as popular as some other titles, I want to see at least a sequel to Star Wars: Republic Commando. That game was really fun, especially the squad commanding part.

Another series I would like to see get rebooted would be Advent Rising. That was a pretty fun game, despite its flaws.

Another user on page one has got a good suggestion with the Command and Conquer games made by Westwood, Red Alert 3 just doesnt feel the same as the first two games for me. Theme Hospital and Roller Coaster Tycoon would be pretty nice to see going again (Roller Coaster Tycoon would be nice back how it was in the first and second game rather than the full on 3D game). Maybe Grand Prix 5 as well by Geff Crammond with Steam support would be epic!

Well starcraft was on top of the list but obviously it got scraped off :D. 1. X-com UFO/TFTD (Sadly as (almost) always the original was the best in the series. 2. Elite 3 (Still better then freespace) 3. Settlers 3 (they already remade settlers 2 wich is much like setters 1, the 3th installment adds some cool features too) 4. The movies (I really liked the managing part, never made an actual movie. It should go larger scale imo as you run out of actors pretty quick and can't increase income anymore.) 5. Pizza tycoon (they made a couple of spinoffs but nothing like the original pizza tycoon, i loved everything about the game. 6. Fallout (FPS = no fallout, it was a nice game but i never had a real fallout feeling except when the main storyline ended so quickly, but that was me falling out of my chair) A new simcity couldn't hurt either although 4 is still very fun, same goes for other builders and tycoons like ceasar, a bug free childrens of the nile, roller coaster tycoon, transport tycoon etc.

Surprised no one mentioned this game: Master of Orion. This game series needs to be brought back in force and not in the craptastic way that was MoO 3.

Clearly you have taste, good sir. How are you feeling on the new Dark Messiah stuff they recently churned out? (By they ofcourse, I mean the other company that has the rights to the franchise)

Thanks, mate. My favorite is VI, VII was also OK. I did not like Dark Messiah at all. Still play the VI and VII th games from time to time.

I second this motion for a sequel to Total Annihilation. That game was awesome and still looks good now. I can only imagine with a newer engine and a new storyline how it would look!!!

Another X-Wing/Tie FIghter game. I still can't find another game that has flight controls as good as those. How come those are the only games where you could assign a button as a "shift" key for the joystick, enabling you to turn left/right and barrel roll with just one stick?

How about turn Heroes in Might and Magic into a traditonal RPG?

lol They are refering to a traditional RPG, the one Heros is based on.

For me:

Might and Magic
Baldur's Gate
Dark Sun (I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet, great old school RPGs.)

Dark Sun is a fantastic game...to be honest I really miss most of the games SSI made starting way back to Pool of Radiance. So many great titles...Eye of the Beholder, Stronghold (not the one most of you are thinking of), Dark Sun, Al Qaddim...lots of great game.

Then there's other RPG games like Lands of Lore, Ultima, Betrayal at Krondor, and stuff like that...never get's mentioned on this site. It's always Baldur's Gate, Planescape, ect ad nasuem. Not that they weren't amazing games, but so many great games from the past are forgotten here.

Personally I would like to see any one of the above RPG's remade, or others like:

Syndicate

Magic Carpet

Big Red Racing (1nsane Racing is pretty close, though and fairly recent)

Hexen

Quarantine

Oh, I always mention them; in this very topic I mentioned Ravenloft, Lands of Lore and Ultima Underworld.

Of the games you cited the only one I haven't played is Big Red Racing. And I didn't like Syndicate (although I tried, it was considered "cool" at the time; if memory doesn't trick me there was even a sequel), Magic Carpet (1 and 2) and Quarantine (Quarantine was awful; it's that game where you drive a cab, right?).

I'll never forget the final battle in Dark Sun 1. DS 2 had a game-breaking bug here (where you need to activate a fountain or something in order to enter some caves), so I couldn't finish it. This is one of the franchises I would revive too...

Old-school RULES! :twisted:

:lol: I remember that bug and got hit by it myself. And yeah, Quarantine was the cab game but it was awesome (at least I thought so, and it is looked back on with high regards by most archive sites).
