Titanfall. Proper Titanfall.

bitfucker,

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

Miphera,

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.

  • 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
TachyonTele,

MechWarrior 5 is a lot of fun

RightHandOfIkaros,

Yeah, it is, but it is fundamentally different from MechAssault. MechWarrior is a simulator and MechAssault is an arcade shooter. Its like the difference between Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon, theyre both fun but they’re also very different games.

Alexstarfire,

Are you the only person that likes Daikatana? I thought that game was pretty universally panned. I haven’t played it myself, mostly because all I’ve heard is how bad it is.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Remaking a good game is stupid. Remake the bad games and give them another chance at success.

I would definitely want a reboot of Daikatana more than a direct continuation. Daikatana has a lot of cool ideas that just weren’t realistically achievable when it came out, but certainly now are pretty easy to implement with modern development tools. The game has been “off the market” so to speak for so long that making a sequel would be stupid compared to just rebooting it entirely.

Miphera,

The Brandish games have such a good soundtrack, I especially love the one in Dark Revenant! It’s also such a cool concept, you could easily make a modern game with that type of premise.

masterbaexunn,

Didn’t know lodoss war had a game. Fuck yes

tilefan, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 25th

I’ve been playing a lot of Space Invaders lately

Scio, (edited ) do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

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!]

MurrayL,

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.

leave_it_blank,

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.

Scio,

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 ☺️

leave_it_blank,

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!

Scio,

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!

Grandwolf319, do games w It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation

Dude, where have you been? Look how little good single player games rockstar is putting out.

It’s just harder and less profitable.

I rather have one great red dead 2 than 5 forgettable ones; looking at your assassins creed, used to be one of my favourites and I haven’t played anything after black flag.

If I ever get VR stuff, I would want to play Alyx but if they had 5 okayish games instead, it would be a nope from me.

I still haven’t even played black mesa even though i bought it, I like fewer but better choices especially since I’m more busy in this stage of life.

NaoPb,

Is it really or are we assuming it is because publishers do this?

Grandwolf319,

I would argue it’s more like multiplayer games are just much more profitable instead of not being able to turn a profit as well on single player games. And it is very easy to prove that some multiplayer games are cash cows.

That’s the thing about capitalism though, it’s not about choosing something profitable, it’s choosing the max profit option.

Thankfully there are enough passionate people and good companies that a savvy gamer can find ways plenty of single player games.

xavier666,

Doesn’t Alyx have a fan-made non VR version as well?

Nostalgia 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.

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.

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

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.

Banichan,
@Banichan@dormi.zone avatar

And people like you are slowing the progress of gaming.

If you want to play a game you used to like, just play it.

TachyonTele,

Have you made any games?

Semi_Hemi_Demigod,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

Which means I wouldn’t be buying new games, which means game makers don’t have a market, which means no more new games.

Alexstarfire,

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.

ampersandrew, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

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.

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…

beepnoise,

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!

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Zahille7,

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.

mydoomlessaccount,

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

GreyCat,

PvP would probably go poorly, making a single player studio create multiplayer games is bad.
Unless they themselves really want it.

GreyCat,

They are making too much money with ghost of tsushima lol
:(

KOTOR

beepnoise,

Nice choice! Would you like them to start afresh or would you like them to continue on from a specific game?

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

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.

gothic_lemons,

I recently started my 1st replay since I was a kid. Loving it on the steam deck, battery lasts forever with the old gem!

UnityDevice,

Have you ever played swtor? It’s a lot like kotor 3 in many respects.

FenrirIII,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

But online and grindy

UnityDevice,

You can hide chat and you’ll barely even notice it’s online. And I don’t see how it’s grindy - in fact they made the base game so easy your companion can kill everyone for you.

If you just play the base game content from 2011, it’s 8 completely voice acted stories that are interconnected into one big story. And it’s free.

This is my number one pick as well. Just keep it the fuck away from Disney.

Deadlock, and really enjoying it!

KotFlinte,

Man I really want to get into the playtest, but can’t find anybody who can invite me.

I’ve always loved dota but I’m more of an FPS gamer so it might really hit my vibe.

teh_shame, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

Chibi Robo!

Even just a remaster would be awesome

beepnoise,

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?
