Oh hey, good call there.

That would be a huge gain for the PS3 too.
Or the 360 or Wii, you know, seeing how it was made by a third party.
Well sorry, I just figured it would be kept to Sony platforms much like a number of other third party games have been.

Cannon Fodder. Becuase War has never been so much fun.

Would Vagrant Story count seeing as there was only one?

Also, Shenmue. No, I don't care that you hate it.

I don't necessarily think there should be a sequel to Planescape plot-wise, but I'd love to see another game use the setting.
Really any non-Forgotten Realms D&D game would be a welcome change as far as I'm concerned. I think the world is ready for high-def Mind Flaying.

A Dark Sun revival would be incredible. Both on the computer and p&p, that is. Such an amazing world.

Which setting is D&D Tactics? Eberron?

Greyhawk, which I found out by consulting this very comprehensive list.

EVO and Syndicate seconded.

I would pay for remade Syndicate music. It was like the music from the Dianetics commercials but with the word "Syndicate" in the middle.

I'm not sure if any of you heard or played this game for the Genesis...

But I would really like to see GreenDog redone/re-released.

Creatures from the C64, puzzle based single screen Torture Screens. Fuzzies are captured by evil demons, you must rescue fuzzies before they are tortured, chainsaw'd, cut in half, pushed in to acid, squished, burnt and generally maimed:



I will continue to pimp this game till I'm blue in the face, it was my childhood favourite. It even had a Terminator 2 title screen (Which happened to be one of my fave films at the time too!)

Spoiler:


But, it's not popular enough so not a chance in hell. Another obscure-ish one I'd love to see revived would be Skool Daze and Bak 2 Skool. Bully almost did a good enough job but it wasn't close enough to the previous two mentioned games.

I was just discussing yesterday how I'd like to see a good sequel, or at least update, to TIE Fighter.

Yes.

That's the first series I thought about when I saw this thread.

Also, Legacy of Kain and Phantasy Star.

Solar Jetman + today's physics/graphics engines and motion controls (PS3/Wii) = totally awesome.

I was just thinking about how a sequel to an xcom game would work today and also why nobody has mentioned Beyond Good and Evil yet (unless I missed it).

Then I was thinking about what made the two games great,

BGaE - Strong female character, dressed fairly sensibly and able to hold her own in a fight.

Xcom - I think the defining point of the first two games was base defence. Without it, you'd never really feel the connection between the tactical map and missions. When I first played the game I assumed that the base screen was merely metaphorical - you build x to get y. Fighting through what you spend much of the game staring at makes it very physical and real.

I'm not sure if this would work in 2007 as a top down game so you'd probably want to do it in 3d, some kind of sci-fi fps, but one very grounded in the real world.

Then I realised something else, what would happen if you Combined the two?
