beepnoiseWhat 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
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?
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.
I recently started my 1st replay since I was a kid. Loving it on the steam deck, battery lasts forever with the old gem!
UnityDeviceHave you ever played swtor? It’s a lot like kotor 3 in many respects.
FenrirIIIBut online and grindy
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.
RiccosuaveThis is my number one pick as well. Just keep it the fuck away from Disney.
simpleInfamous. 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…
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!
OmegaI 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.
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.
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
PvP would probably go poorly, making a single player studio create multiplayer games is bad.
Unless they themselves really want it.
Unless they themselves really want it.
They are making too much money with ghost of tsushima lol

A good comment& conquer game
Is that an online propaganda troll simulator?
Oh fuck, muhaha. Yeah, you never heard of it?? Highly recommend it.
ampersandrewAs 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.
CoelacanthI’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.
Linux is for pussiesNone. 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.
Boomer Humor DoomergodI’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.
And people like you are slowing the progress of gaming.
If you want to play a game you used to like, just play it.
Have you made any games?
Which means I wouldn’t be buying new games, which means game makers don’t have a market, which means no more new games.
I haven’t really played since 4 but I played 1-4 quite a bit.
Snot FlickermanI 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.
so you think developers are just setting aside great new ideas because of random internet posts? gimme a fucking break.
NeryKNostalgy 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.
ScioNo One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.
Also, only a single game, but: [rpgs.co/arcanum-of-steamworks-and-magick-obscura-…). At least this one’s possible to buy in Gog and Steam…
No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 NOLF Contract Jack Free Download PC Revival Edition
Download updated editions of No One Lives Forever (NOLF), No One Lives Forever 2 (NOLF2), and Contract Jack for free. These editions include all of the latest official and community patches, widescreen resolution support for modern monitors, and no CD patches. Play the original No One Lives Forever, NOLF 2, and Contract Jack in full high definition (HD). Relive those glorious memories. Help us revive the game.
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.
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.
Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to 🤫
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!
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!
- 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
MechWarrior 5 is a lot of fun
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.
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.
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.
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.
Didn’t know lodoss war had a game. Fuck yes
Zeusz13Titanfall. Proper Titanfall.
This. Titanfall 2 has ruined my taste in FPS forever. Nothing ever comes close for me
faercolAnd there were some really great levels in the campaign, that was a fun game
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.
Okami! Please, more!
DurandalLegend of Zelda following Twilight Princess.
TimeSplitters following future perfect.
XIII following… the ending of XIII cliffhanger.
Half Life following HL2 E2 cliffhanger… or L4D3… or Portal 3…
Overwatch following Jeff Kaplan
Cave Story following Cave Story 1
IchNichtenLichtenJust give me a new Deus Ex game please.
Glad I wasn’t the first one to suggest it. It’d be so much better if they finish it off and provide the missing gap to the original game.
Cyberpunk scratched that itch for me to a surprising degree. It’s not a perfect match, but it felt closer to the original than the sequels did somehow.
Given how well that game sold, it’s even more baffling that we don’t seem to be getting another Deus Ex. Don’t they like money or something?
They do like money. That’s why they made two shitty prequels.
Yes please, one close to the original <3
I just want more 2D Castlevania games. It’s been forever.
Well, there was Bloodstained which is castlevania with everything but the name. Same lead gamedev, too.
Bloodstained is fun. I’m also enjoying Deaths Gambit
