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

Mass Effect. Either abandon/re-do the Andromeda storyline.

Edit: Spelling

I liked Andromeda the game more than most but I really didn’t like Andromeda the galaxy as a setting. I’d prefer to go back to the milky way with the species from the original games. Maybe set in the future after a major political upheaval or something.

Yea I’m not married to the Andromeda storyline either.

I personally think a mass effect prequel game about the first contact war (or whatever the war was between the humans and the Turians) would be the most interesting.

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.

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.

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?

Semi_Hemi_Demigod , 47 minutes ago

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

so you think developers are just setting aside great new ideas because of random internet posts? gimme a fucking break.

Gauntlet, specifically in the vein of Legends/Dark Legacy. Arrowhead did a reboot-ish of the original style game 10 years ago, let em put some of that Helldivers 2 money into this.

That would be great. A new Gauntlet Legends game would be great.

I really want a Condemned 3 that wraps up Ethan vs SKX. They never got a proper final face-off in 2, and (spoilers) since SKX has joined the Oro and Ethan's unlocked his yelling power or whatever, it would be nice to have that loose end tied up.

Here’s a rather wacky one: Star Tropics. A sequel to Zoda’s Revenge would just blow my mind.

I’d really like to see another time-based drama similar to The Last Express. It had a lot of time-based events where you could run into particular passengers of the train in the hallways, and gained a strong sense of physical “presence” as people pushed past you in the halls using detailed rotoscope animations.

The Invisible Hours comes close - it’s non-interactive, basically letting you play as a ghost cameraman watching the mystery.

The first Deception game by Tecmo. A pretty basic game in concept: Invaders come in your castle, you set up traps, lure them into the traps. But- Something about the limiting view of first-person, combined with the poorly lit castle, chilling music, and dark story tone has never been replicated. Add on how you could customize your castle with extra hallways and rooms with special attributes, capture invaders to make your own monsters, or even use masks to change the way invaders react to you… mmm, now I want to play it again.

I tried playing the second, third, and Trapt, but everything after the first game switched to a more action-oriented third person view and started to shy away from the heaven/hell connection.

I wouldn’t mind if it was a game outside the Deception IP. I just want the atmosphere back.

Katana314 , 1 hour ago

I own Deception 4 on PS4, didn’t know what the original was like. I think there’s a lot of cartoony appeal in luring people into elaborate multi-stage death traps, but it’s tricky to garner appeal out of more than just a lot of animation work for each variety of trap.

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

Legacy of Kain

The indie scene has focused on a lot of SNES/NES-style retro franchises, but I’d definitely like to see a return to PS2 aesthetic, especially now that we can render those scenes at 60fps.

I recently played Psuedoregalia, and it was a lot of fun.

Would love to see a Dark Cloud 3. Not PlayStation exclusive though.

Half Life

Watch Dogs. It’s without a doubt my favorite video game franchise of all time and it saddens me that there hasn’t been any sign of a new game being in development at all. I’d love if the game went back to its roots by following the first entries formula, but that’s just a minor preference and at this point I’d take anything.

Lost_My_Mind , 1 hour ago

I remember at one point I tried taking the original on PS3 to gamestop to trade in. They offered $0.10.

I was so insulted by the offer, I’ve never once gone back to trade anything else in. That was like 10 years ago.

Cyberstadium Series: Basewars.

Sure, it was only 1 game, so maybe not a series, but as the name suggests, it was meant to be a series.

Wipeout. They can continue from Omega, it was great fun. Formula Fusion is a really cool spiritual successor by many of the original minds, but it's a little lacking in content.
