Titanfall. Proper Titanfall.
This. Titanfall 2 has ruined my taste in FPS forever. Nothing ever comes close for me
I can't believe no one has said the most obvious:
Legacy of Kain
The indie scene has focused on a lot of SNES/NES-style retro franchises, but I'd definitely like to see a return to PS2 aesthetic, especially now that we can render those scenes at 60fps.
I recently played Psuedoregalia, and it was a lot of fun.
Half Life
No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.
They're both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we're golden!
Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one's possible to buy on Gog and Steam...)
Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I'd prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I'd still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!
[Finished with the edits now!]
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.
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...
Burnout, but takedown style, NOT paradise/open world
It's insane I can't just have a game where I can do ridiculous crashes and uses cars as bullets.
Butnout: Paradise was the good shit
But they took out crash mode. Yeah, you could crash whenever in the open world, but I loved the puzzle game aspects of the old crash mode.
NOT ~~paradise~~/open world
Jeez, I am with you in this one, what is wrong selecting tracks and having less open world games in general?
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
Okami! Please, more!
Mass Effect. Either abandon/re-do the Andromeda storyline.
Edit: Spelling
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.
Syndicate (the recent indy homage alas broke the formula too much).
Mech Commander
Gauntlet, specifically in the vein of Legends/Dark Legacy. Arrowhead did a reboot-ish of the original style games 10 years ago, let em put some of that Helldivers 2 money into this.
Ridge Racer - Namco have really done it dirty and would love to see it revived. Take it back to basics as a pure arcade racer without the Burnout nonsense.
Timesplitters - Just pleeeeaaase.
Alundra - It was a JRPG on PSX and nothing ever came after the second game. It had loads of potential.
SSX - I still love the stupidity of those early games. Would love to see a fun another snowboarding game that doesn’t take it self seriously.
- Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
- The Neverhood
Make games weird again
I want a game in the Black Marsh. And I want it to be weird like Morrowind where I can kill anybody and become a god (from absolutely nothing).
Like, in Morrowind you're literally not important. Even the Nerevarine hopefuls die and they just find another. Oblivion you're given instructions (by the Emperor, IIRC). Skyrim you're the Dragonborn pretty much immediately.
For every year Capcom doesn’t make MegaMan Legends 3, an executive needs to be launched out of a trebuchet right into a wall.
Outrun. The last one we had, Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, was fucking awesome. I literally bought that for every system they released it on. It’s one of my most played games.
I’d absolutely love a new Outrun in that same vein. There’s been a few half decent clones over the years, but none match both the gameplay, proper branching paths and overall vibes.
SEGA has long since stopped selling it because they no longer have the Ferrari license for the cars. But as a car guy, I’ve easily got dozens of suggestions what to replace them with. Ferrari’s are nice… but I’d also love an Outrun with Lamborghini, Porsche or a whole pack of Japanese cars like NSX, AE86, RX7, Miata…
Power Stone 3, Half Life 3, Need For Speed Underground 3...
Basically a bunch of 3s
Not a series but I would love a Freelancer reboot/remake or sequel.
Protoype, with Alex Mercer as the protagonist. Either a reboot or a follow-up to 1 is fine with me.
Wipeout. They can continue from Omega, it was great fun. Formula Fusion is a really cool spiritual successor by many of the original minds, but it's a little lacking in content.
Edit: lol, took me four hours to realise that continuing on after Omega rather ruins the title of that one
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'd love to see need for speed come back following the underground 2 formula.
Twisted Metal: Black II please. Or even one that's a little more of a dark comedy like TM2. I just know I hated everything after Black. (Why the fuck were we racing instead of fighting sometimes?!)
Timesplitters
I just want more 2D Castlevania games. It's been forever.
Well, there was Bloodstained which is castlevania with everything but the name. Same lead gamedev, too.
Master of Orion I loved I and II. The third apparently bombed and reboots have failed.
Sim City I mean the real Sim city as Maxis would have made it. Not a cash grab, not a mobile game, not a "city painter" where any simulation takes a back seat to decorating with DLC assets.
Super Mario RPG no those other, spiritual successors do not count. They are fine games on their own but not the same.
Lost in Blue not the fanciest games, but I enjoyed them. There are plenty of modern games in the genre, but I haven't found one that quite fits...
I'd love to see another jak and daxter
- Brandish, based on Brandish II
- Kuon, based on Kuon
- Clock Tower, continuing from Clock Tower 3 but actually good
- SimCity, based on the original.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion, based on Neon Genesis Evangelion 2: Evangelions
- Record of Lodoss War, based on the Dreamcast game
- Policenauts, but only Kojima can be the one to make the next game
- Tresspasser, based on the original
- Danganronpa, but more like the first 2 and not v3, though I wouldn't mind another try at Ultra Despair Girls with an actually decent story
- John Romero's Daikatana
- MechAssault
- XENON - 夢幻の肢体 (XENON - Fantasy Body), I wouldn't mind seeing a remake in the style of something like Life is Strange or a similar type of story game for this one, though I would demand it keep the original 90s art style
- Parasite Eve
- Megaman Legends
- King's Field
- Panzer Dragoon Saga
- F-Zero
- Hybrid Heaven
- BattleTanx
- Dino Crisis
Titanfall. Titanfall 2 is a banger Video game. I word really like to see it being continued.
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.
