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

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!

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.

They made a couple modernized games. But they don't have the feel of the original (better than Bubsy 3D though).

That's why I mentioned insomniac, or another dev of that caliber. It's a pipe dream, but it's fun to think about. Doesn't even have to be Bubsy. Imagine rockstar taking a crack at Glover. What's your dream team of failed mascot and proven dev?
