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

      I’ve heard a fair bit about this game, but never really played it. I may try to get a copy for my Steam Deck. Which one would you recommend for a first timer?

      Cyberpunk scratched that itch for me to a surprising degree. It’s not a perfect match, but it felt closer to the original than the sequels did somehow.

      Glad I wasn’t the first one to suggest it. It’d be so much better if they finish it off and provide the missing gap to the original game.

      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.

    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

      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.

      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.

      Such a shame NOLF is so deeply mired in rights disputes that we’ll probably never even get a digital rerelease, let alone a sequel.

        I keep hearing that, but it seems like if there was a market for a 60s-themed spy game, someone would make a game that’s totally starring Kat Bowman who is an agent for ACCORD.

        Sadly it’s probably more that uh, there isn’t and now I’m going to go sad replay NOLF again.

      A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.

        Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.

        Edit: no that’s just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn’t change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️

          Nonono, that’s it!!! I totally missed the link :)

          After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!

            Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).

            I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don’t load!) If this patch can work around those issues that’d be great.

            Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!

    XCOM 2 came out in 2016. Let’s get another XCOM game. Maybe humanity pushing into space and creating a colony which then comes under alien attack. You have to defend the colony, cut off from earth, and take out the alien menace.

        I want to like Chimera Squad but every mission feels the same. I love the character based approach though. Also it was fun having aliens on the team for once.

        Xcom 2 and Chimera Squad both had some annoying UI problems but luckily they were fixed (for the most part) by mods.

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

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

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

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