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!

The Saboteur had such great potential. I enjoyed the concept and the artistic use of color in the game.

I'd love a new Tomba game.

half-life 3 but apparently gabben only uses his ceo power to shut down discussions about making hl3

Parasite Eve, hell even a remake of the first would be welcome

Earthbound. Even an official western release of Mother 3 would be nice.

i want the Just Cause series to continue on from the second installment but instead of focusing on the movement, focus on the world building and setpieces. the plot in JC2 is completely batshit insane and ends in a fistfight atop a speeding ICBM. they kinda just forgot about that part in the sequels in favor of adding tornado guns or whatever.

The first Deception game by Tecmo. A pretty basic game in concept: Invaders come in your castle, you set up traps, lure them into the traps. But- Something about the limiting view of first-person, combined with the poorly lit castle, chilling music, and dark story tone has never been replicated. Add on how you could customize your castle with extra hallways and rooms with special attributes, capture invaders to make your own monsters, or even use masks to change the way invaders react to you... mmm, now I want to play it again.

I tried playing the second, third, and Trapt, but everything after the first game switched to a more action-oriented third person view and started to shy away from the heaven/hell connection.

I wouldn't mind if it was a game outside the Deception IP. I just want the atmosphere back.

I own Deception 4 on PS4, didn't know what the original was like. I think there's a lot of cartoony appeal in luring people into elaborate multi-stage death traps, but it's tricky to garner appeal out of more than just a lot of animation work for each variety of trap.

I really want a Condemned 3 that wraps up Ethan vs SKX. They never got a proper final face-off in 2, and (spoilers) since SKX has joined the Oro and Ethan's unlocked his yelling power or whatever, it would be nice to have that loose end tied up.

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.

A new die hard trilogy game still based on the original movie trilogy but using a modern engine and graphics

I would love to see Homeworld 3. I know we have HW3, but what we got isn't Homeworld.

StarCraft. I never played Legacy of the Void campaign and I was told the ending was bad. Would be nice to have a StarCraft III though

I'd love to see Monkey Island revived as a more open-world style game on the order of Fallout.

Sonic Riders, the currently dead Sonic racing spin-off. Don't have any experience with the third entry since I've never used a kinect, but building/branching off of Zero Gravity would be amazing.

how about more original IPs instead? new and exciting ventures we havent seen before

~~with that being said, nightmare creatures 3 when~~

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

we get those in spades, they're just all 5v5 hero shooters with moba elements
