I'd always be up for a new Panzer Dragoon game. I also just looked it up and apparently they put out a remake of the first Panzer Dragoon in 2020, though that's not quite the same. Also agree with everyone wanting another Alpha Protocol. They should just call it Beta Protocol. Not even a direct sequel; just a spy-RPG with the same mechanics set in roughly the same world.

Came to post this. I got a demo cd with my PS1 that had like 15+ demos on it. Out of all of them, this was the one that impressed me the most and really felt like a true "next-gen" game. I'm guessing a lot of users who tried the demo may have found it frustrating because it was rather difficult at the time. Hence it being abandoned after one game. It may not have sparkled but it is a gem. And I had to have it. I still pop it in once and a while and imagine a remaster in widescreen and a zoomed out camera. The music slaps as well. So I guess now I'll dig deep and bring up Machine Hunter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSr4kLjtsWk

Crimson Skies is the first series I thought of when I saw this thread. It's a real shame that Microsoft has saw fit to just sit on the IP for all these years, it's such a fun setting. Also: A new Brothers in Arms. Gearbox has said they've been working on a new one for an extremely long time, with absolutely nothing to show for it. The original Road to Hill 30 was one of my favorites for the original Xbox, and though the World War II genre is extremely well-tread ground at this point, I still want to see a new entry with BIA's signature squad-based gameplay. Finally: Rogue Squadron. Star Wars: Squadrons was fun, but it was much more of a spiritual successor to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games as opposed to the arcady Rogue Squadron. Rogue Squadron was ~my jam~ as a kid, and I'd absolutely love to see a new entry take over from where Factor 5 left off.

I see that Ogre Battle and Freespace have been mentioned multiple times. All is right with the universe. I will now return to my 10,000 year old slumber. However, one IP that I just loving adore and could play forever is the King's Field series, by everyone's favorite From Software. Everything about that game is perfect, except the frame rate. And it would be such a good candidate for a virtual reality option.

Give me zoombinis. i almost said with awesome customization options, but then realized that making them not cartoony enough would be kinda...graphic when they fall off the cliffs and get splattered and stuff. Unfortunately with digitial marketplaces, without making it really easy to create a sort of gated kids zone on steam or something that pushes those games there's just no real way to market em. Back in the day we had toy stores that would have dedicated eduatainment sections. hell, i remember whole rear end toy stores that were devoted to edutainment stuff, where there weren't any pure toys, everything taught something. The only real way to sell enough copies to be worth it would be to push the nostalgia factor *hard* since a lot of people who grew up on those games now have kids in the target demo.... but then they're competing against the OG games that they're remastered from.

I'm sure it's been done and I'm just unaware of it, but I'd love to see another RTS with the unit design feature from WarZone 2100. It had just the right level of complexity, not like the ship designer in basically every space 4X game that just gets overwhelming.

My answer: all those loosely connected Quintet games. soul blazer, illusion of gaia, terranigma. All those games had such a specific tone and I wish someone would make a spiritual modern sequel. Like it's not even the gameplay, it's that they all had this weird pragmatic bleakness to them that no other game has. Like the world's saddest and most practical man wrote them. Like there is a scene you cause a cave-in and are trapped with a goat and a dead goat and it turns out they goats were husband and wife, and the wife is like "sometimes goats die" and as you starve to death she eventually brings you goat meat to eat, then when you escape the cave there is a big cliff and the goat is like "go on, I'll escape on my own" but if you go back she's just dead next to her husband. Or a similar scene in illusion of gaia where the princess doesn't want to kill to eat, then realizes there is no other way. Or like, the part of terranigma you save fantasy france from poverty by inventing a wine industry and some guy is like "I guess people can't live without alcohol" It's this very specific tone no other media I can think of uses. Something having to do something extremely awful and then the person who should be sad saying "this is the way the world is" in a weirdly brutal way. I feel shocked that the way people have extended earthbound's vibe into a million indie games that there isn't some modern game with that weird repeated motif of pragmatic hopelessness. It was so so specific to that one series. (and the scene in E.V.O where you kill the yeti and then his wife and then the kid is crying and the narration is like 'he'll die, sometimes things die, sorry!")

Heck, put me down for a proper EVO remake. Preferably based on the original that never made it outside Japan and Search for Eden was itself a remake of. I dig how you started as a jawless fish and ended as a being of pure light throwing psychic dinosaur energy at a giant devil spider that hatched out of the Moon like an egg

K8.0 posted:Battlezone. A thousand times Battlezone. It's deader than dead and there's nothing else like it. The first one was unforgettable. Never played another game with such a seamless blend of base building RTS and first person combat. My favorite match was against someone who obliterated my primary base. I had a backup base so it wasn't game over yet. I tracked them on foot, sniped them, and stole their tank. Omnicarus posted:No One Lives Forever was done dirty and a reboot would be groovy.

Crusader: No Regret / No Remorse A cherry-red Boba Fett traitor from ~tHe cOrPoRaTiOnS~ shooting your way through a real time isometric world. IIRC it used the Ultima engine so the controls were extremely janky for a shooter, but the level design and in-game writing was top notch.

Prince of Persia, provided that it is pulled from Ubisoft's gropey hands and given to a studio that knows how to make parkour platformers and not "open world capture the tower" games. Killzone. Still to this day I haven't found an FPS game that quite matches Killzone 2's WW2-but-its-the-space-apocalypse missions. Guerrilla has been on a roll with their Horizon games and Killzone Shadow Fall was a letdown, so I'm fine with them doing their own thing for a while before they return to their Space CommieNazis versus Space Neoliberals games.

SlothBear posted:Anyone play Little Big Adventure or the sequel Twinsen's Odyssey? A game made in that style again would be dope. My god, I played these at a friend's house and they absolutely ruled. I 1000% agree. For my own contribution, there was a Mac OS (and later ported to windows) game by the now-defunct Ambrosia Software called Pop-Pop. It was an arkanoid clone, and where it really shined was the online multiplayer. It had kind of a fighting game thing where you selected a character that could do a special ability to aggravate your opponent. One character sent a little duck into your opponents screen that slightly altered the course of the ball when it passes through; another riddled your opponents zone with bullets that, if they hit, would freeze their paddle... I've forgotten most of them. But it was a blast to do online for a round or two and I'd love to be able to jump back in.

X-Com: Interceptor The original 1998 one was terrible so you wouldn't have any nostalgia gameplay to preserve, but a flipped X-Com game where you have detailed interceptors (either on earth or in space) and mostly-abstracted ground troops still seems like it'd be neat, either as a flight sim or a 3rd person strategy game like a zoomed in Homeworld or something
