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!
No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.
Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. At least this one’s possible to buy on Gog and Steam…
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!
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.
KOTOR
I recently started my 1st replay since I was a kid. Loving it on the steam deck, battery lasts forever with the old gem!
This is my number one pick as well. Just keep it the fuck away from Disney.
Nice choice! Would you like them to start afresh or would you like them to continue on from a specific game?
I think the Revan storyline is about tapped out, so starting a fresh story is probably the way to go. but I’m open to anything.
Have you ever played swtor? It’s a lot like kotor 3 in many respects.
But online and grindy
Chibi Robo!
Even just a remaster would be awesome
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?
Just give me a new Deus Ex game please.
Yes please, one close to the original <3
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.
Given how well that game sold, it’s even more baffling that we don’t seem to be getting another Deus Ex. Don’t they like money or something?
They do like money. That’s why they made two shitty prequels.
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.
A good comment& conquer game
Is that an online propaganda troll simulator?
Titanfall. Proper Titanfall.
Yes please. I personally preferred the slower PvP of the first game, but the campaign we got in Titanfall 2 was incredible. Really with they would revisit that franchise.
This. Titanfall 2 has ruined my taste in FPS forever. Nothing ever comes close for me
And there were some really great levels in the campaign, that was a fun game
Watch Dogs. It’s without a doubt my favorite video game franchise of all time and it saddens me that there hasn’t been any sign of a new game being in development at all. I’d love if the game went back to its roots by following the first entries formula, but that’s just a minor preference and at this point I’d take anything.
I remember at one point I tried taking the original on PS3 to gamestop to trade in. They offered $0.10.
I was so insulted by the offer, I’ve never once gone back to trade anything else in. That was like 10 years ago.
None. We need less rehashes and more fresh IPs.
Post like this slow progress by letting devs think we want the same shit over and over.
I’ve got probably 9,000 hours on different variants of the Civ franchise over my lifetime, assuming I played Civ V and VI the same amount as the other four. I’ve got 1,600 hours in Factorio and probably the same amount in KSP.
My point being that some of us kinda do want the same shit over and over.
And people like you are slowing the progress of gaming.
If you want to play a game you used to like, just play it.
Which means I wouldn’t be buying new games, which means game makers don’t have a market, which means no more new games.
Have you made any games?
I haven’t really played since 4 but I played 1-4 quite a bit.
so you think developers are just setting aside great new ideas because of random internet posts? gimme a fucking break.
I want to see an adaptation of Naked Lunch as a video game that starts out as a hard-boiled neo-noir detective game, becoming a surreal waking nightmare much like the book, and ending with becoming an endless randomly-generated flight from the cops as you evade pursuit for accidentally killing your wife during a game of William Tell.
This has to be a point-and-click adventure, Sierra-style.
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.
Infamous. I don’t know why the series just disappeared after Infamous Second Son, I feel like we could’ve gotten way more in that universe. While they’re at it they should port Infamous 1 & 2 to modern consoles…
Ah man! What a great choice!
It looks like the studio was behind Ghost of Tsushima, so here’s hoping further down the PS5’s lifecycle we get a sequel!
Came to say inFamous, but specifically picking up after the evil ending in 2. The way that frames it could allow for character customization, and maybe even getting to choose your powerset.
It could even have multiplayer elements if that’s where they wanted to go with it. Not sure how well PvP would work out, but co-op missions could be fun. But, it could work just fine without any of that
PvP would probably go poorly, making a single player studio create multiplayer games is bad.
Unless they themselves really want it.
I loved the first 2 games. inFamous 2 is probably a top 5, definitely top 10 game for me. Festival of Blood is one of my favorite DLCs as well.
I didn’t finish Second Son.
They are making too much money with ghost of tsushima lol
:(I would love to have them on PC. Honestly why Sony doesn’t port all their old catalog (Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter etc.) is beyond me. That would get them so much money.
Okami! Please, more!
A proper Thief sequel would be nice.
Came here for this!
Intelligent Qube
Not a series, but I’d like another.
As written, this is a tough one to answer. I’m well served in most genres bar a few, and I probably wouldn’t want to see new entries from the people who made the old ones. For instance, I miss stealth games and Splinter Cell, but I wouldn’t want Ubisoft to make it. I would love to see a new Metal Arms, but Blizzard (and now also Microsoft) owns that one. I miss racing games like Burnout and F-Zero, but I wouldn’t trust EA or Nintendo to make a successor that makes me happy. So really, I think I want new stuff that’s more of a spiritual successor type of deal.
I’ve been wanting a new, proper Splinter Cell for years. Michael Ironside is cancer free now and still alive for a couple more years (hopefully). I dream of Sam Fischer getting a final send-off with the correct voice actor. “One final job” with him old and grey. But yeah, Ubisoft wouldn’t make it right, sadly.
Gauntlet, specifically in the vein of Legends/Dark Legacy. Arrowhead did a reboot-ish of the original style game 10 years ago, let em put some of that Helldivers 2 money into this.
That would be great. A new Gauntlet Legends game would be great.
Right, I was severely disappointed in the 2014 revival, didn’t feel the same at all
