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!

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

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.

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

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.

Just give me a new Deus Ex game please.

I can't believe no one has said the most obvious:

Legacy of Kain

Far Cry. Both FC3 and FC4 were great, and then they never made another one after that.

wdym there is FC5 and FC6

I'd love to see another Fallout game like 1 & 2.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

have you tried kenshi?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Planetside 2. So a Planetside 3 would be nice.

I haven't logged in for nearly three years. Has TI been overhauled again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yes. Please.
What's insane to me is that they are still regularly updating the game. How they can do that with 1.5 monthly players is a mystery to me. But props to them for sticking with a game for so long.

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.

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

In regards to SSX, after the success of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater remake, I am surprised that EA did not counter with a remake of SSX Tricky. I love how accessible the SSX controls are while still offering plenty of depth for people who want to optimize their runs. It is too bad that EA Sports seems to be focused on simulationist sports games (and live services).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I can across this a while back that might scratch some of the SSX itch for me - its an indy game that takes heavy inspiration from SSX. There's a basic demo, it plays quite well on Steam Deck. Though I wasn't a fan of the controls, so hoping the dev changes them or allows them to be changed.

Syndicate (the recent indy homage alas broke the formula too much).

Mech Commander

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

do you mean Satellite Reign? is it "recent"?

  • Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
  • The Neverhood

Make games weird again

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

The Morrowind expansion for Elder Scrolls Online could have been the greatest thing ever, if they had just straight remade TES3 in the ESO engine, following the failed Neverine that literally existed in lore during the era ES was set in. Instead they just released an expansion set in morrowind with a story that had nothing to do with tes3's storyline.

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Butnout: Paradise was the good shit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What kind of mode is that ?
'Cause there was a mode you were scored on the amount of mayhem you caused.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Crash mode was sort of like Angry Birds but with exploding cars and 10x the production value. You’d get score multipliers for causing the most damage possible.

Tabula Rasa. It was a first/third person sci fi mmo shooter/rpg with craftable mechs, It lasted for a bit more then a year before it shut down, and no private servers have ever been created.

Gundam : Universal Century Online. Picture Star Wars Galaxies with combined arms mecha warfare. Start on foot, buy a jetpack, mine some ore, built a tank/jet/mech, fight in the war. It lasted about as long as tabula rasa before it shut down. It currently has no private server.

Firefall. First/third person sci fi mmo shooter/rpg with craftable mech suits. bla blah, shut down no private server ever created.

tl/dr: I want a new mech mmo. Or even just to be able to play my old favorite mecha mmos.
