Old Game Revival Thread - What games do you want to see updated / sequeled?

[Purge]

Throwing this into the PC gaming, since the games I'd like to have revived are all from PC, but this doesn't mean this thread is PC exclusive.

Interstate '76 for one.
Mechwarrior.
Ultima.
Wing Commander.

Syndicate is already on its way.

I also would like another Black and White game - one that can use Kinect / capacitive touch.

[Gratch]

Dungeon Keeper (no, that crappy recent Dungeons game doesn't count)
A remake/update of the first Tenchu game

[skystride]

I'd like to see a MMO revived.  Gameplay tweaked to be more in line with what we expect today (i.e. not as hardcore).  Potential candidates: EQ1, DAOC, Shadowbane etc.

[TK-421]

Interstate '76
Privateer

I also want a sequel to Wing Commander: Prophecy

[Purge]

Oooo, a decent XWing VS. Tie Fighter, or a proper sequel to the Dark Forces game.

[USMC Kato]

My dark prayers were answered in the form of X-COM.

I want a new/updated:

Star Control
Shadowrun (Genesis version was awesome)
Freelancer
Homeworld
Gabriel Knight series
Master of Orion

[Blackjack]

I concur with everything here that's something I played before.  

I'll toss in:
-Volition's Freespace 1 & 2 (Volition guys have expressed interest in re-visiting it in interviews, but have admitted there just isn't a commercial market for space combat right now in the eyes of the bigger publishers)
-Irrational's System Shock 2 (I realize Bioshock is a "spiritual" successor, but I'd still like a true update of SS2)
-IO's Freedom Fighters (which won't happen because it "undersold," and because IO insists on beating the dead horse that is Hitman into the dirt until it becomes subterranean Elmer's Glue  )

The Motion Sickness Vomit Brigade
-Bullfrog's Magic Carpet
-Volition's Descent
*Even knowing full well they made me sick in their day, and would again today.

[CeeKay]

Planescape
Baldur's Gate
Outcast
Ultima
Bard's Tale (not that action RPG)
Zork
System Shock
Jedi Knight
Moebius/Windwalker

[Crawley]

Some really good choices here. I'd like to see an update to the Wizardry "Dark Savant" trilogy. These were the last 3 Wiz games (6-8). The first two games were the traditional tile based games but Wiz 8 moved to 3D. From what I recall it did it successfully. It wasn't FPSish nor was it overly complicated as some RPGs that were moving to 3D became. And it made good use of the 3D terrain.

So an update or re-visioning of that trilogy would be fun.

[Purge]

Oooo, a proper Xeen game, although I think Skyrim is pretty much what we'd be looking at. Hell, Ultima IX was pretty much that game.

[Laner]

In addition to all the ones listed so far, I'd like to see:

Wasteland (either a remake or sequel is supposedly in the works by inXile)
Fallout 1 & 2
Neuromancer
System Shock 1

...apparently I like dystopian futures.

[Purge]

...apparently I like dystopian futures.

That works out - we're heading there at breakneck speeds.

[Blackadar]

Master of Magic (my faith in Stardock to do so is rather limited)
Planescape
Mechwarrior
Outpost (or rather what it was supposed to be!)

[Chordian]

I'd like to see modern remakes of these games:

Anachronox
Baldur's Gate 2 (modern 3D engine and all)
Half-Life (by Valve and not by fans that may never get finished)
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (modern adventure game engine)
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (the first game and with SaveAnywhere)
MDK (this is what I want to be remade - not MDK 2)
Realms of the Haunting
Unreal

I'd like to see the following sequels:

Anachronox 2
Baldur's Gate 3 (but I dread how they might mess it up)
The Dig 2 (or a similar science fiction adventure)
Dreamfall 2 (lots of lose ends to deal with)
Fallout 4
Full Throttle 2
Gabriel Knight 4
Gateway 3 (and this time in a modern adventure game engine)
Grim Fandango 2
The Journeyman Project 4
Legend of Kyrandia 4
Monkey Island 5
The Nomad Soul 2 (Omikron)
Outcast 2 (was actually in the works but alas was cancelled)
System Shock 3 (lets have the DE:HR team have a go at it!)
Thief 4
Tex Murphy adventure #6 (in a modern 3D engine with modern controls)

[Ironrod]

Nobody's mentioned Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri yet? How can this be?

I'll second Master of Orion...or GalCiv2, which was the next-best thing. We're due for a good TB galactic empire-builder, anyway.

[Lockdown]

HOMEWORLD!!!!!
and Kohan

[Caine]

I'll add these

Independence War 3
a modern remake of the Colony Wars games for current gen
Simcity 5
Starflight 3 with a modern take on the engine plus a remake using a 3d engine
Witcher 3
Rise of Nations/Legends
Quarantine

add +1 to these
XWing/Tie Fighter
Mechwarrior
Freespace 3
Master of Orion
Alpha Centauri
Homeworld
Ultima
Wing Commander
Freelancer/Starlancer
Star Control
Outcast

[Thry]

Darkfall

I've played since launch and I'm amazed that despite its _very_ rough edges it doesn't have a larger following.

Once you get past the horrible UI and skill grind it is simply the most player skill intensive PvP MMO of all time.  I just wish a competent developer owned the game so we could see an update once every millennium.

[KC]

X-Wing
Starfleet Command
Star Control

[morlac]

Autoduel : Keep the topdown view.  Beef up the RPG elelments, add some multiplayer arena dueling and make it a PSN/XBLA title.  Would make a fortune I think.

DAOC:  3 realms has never been duplicated,  Hell add a 4th filled with Asian Mythology.   Sign me up!

Wizardry 9 : Way past due.  Keep the graphics simple if you like but keep the diverse character classes and funny voice overs "And up I go!"  Another XBLA/PSN candidate?

Magic Carpet : with modern physics!

Freedom Force 3 : comic book games are better than ever, Time for a "For Freedom!" Sequel.

[Crusis]

X-com UFO Defense. Just a remake with updated graphics and sound. Don't add or change anything! Just an updated game.

[Isgrimnur]

There was an old Harrier game for the Commodore 64 I'd love to see redone.  Hell, just a Harrier flight sim in general.

[USMC Kato]

Also I wanted to add:



Sent from my iPhone

[Lockdown]

Good Call, Kato!

Which reminded me:  Add Gladius as well.

[Purge]

Good Call, Kato!

Which reminded me:  Add Gladius as well.

The game was good, the story... it needed some spirit.

[Mithridates]

Master of Magic is the big one for me now that we're getting X-Com.

[CeeKay]

Witcher 3

I think that one is a foregone conclusion.

[Caine]

Witcher 3

I think that one is a foregone conclusion.

No doubt there considering how well it did and its reception by both critics and players.  I just want to get to the next part of the story.

[USMC Kato]

Good Call, Kato!

Which reminded me:  Add Gladius as well.

Fantastic game, maybe Bioware or some other Dev can get this resurrected. At the very least, maybe a HD remake?

[Alefroth]

SunDog: Frozen Legacy
Earth Orbit Stations

Ale

[CeeKay]

thought of some more that need updated:

TRON 2.0
Temple of Apshai
Raid on Bungeling Bay
Spy vs Spy
Bruce Lee
Magic Candle
DragonStrike
any of the Gold Box AD&D games from SSI

[ANZAC]

Really good choices so far.

A few of mine.  Drakan  Order of the Flame-who doesn't like a hot heroine

                     Crimson Skies-  crazy airplanes and an alternate universe awesome voice acting I'm in

                     Hostile waters  Anteaus Rising-for the awesome gameplay and unique concept

                     Dune-if you read the books, you gotta play

                     Unreal 2 the Sequel-loved the ship and crew, left us hanging-do it like Mass Effect 3
                     

[TK-421]

                     Crimson Skies- 

Good one.

[Purge]

Crimson Skies: HRTR > Crimson Skies 1 (PC) - but I'm not picky, I'd take either.

Another Jade Empire would be welcome. Given Bioware and EA's current success with Star Wars, it'd end up as an MMO.

[The Rocketman]

Good Call, Kato!

Which reminded me:  Add Gladius as well.

The game was good, the story... it needed some spirit.

Nice one indeed. I remember waiting in hot anticipation for Halo 2 to finally come out, and when I finally had it, I actually played Gladius more that week.

To add to the thread, I'd like a remake of Duke Nukem 3D. And just about any space combat game, from Wing Commander (hand drawn conversations aboard the Tiger's Claw!) to X-Wing Alliance (perfect amount of ship management options and music), ending with Freespace (make things go boom in an incredibly satisfying way).

And for nostalgia's sake, Terror From the Deep! But reading up on the new X-Com game, I think Firaxis will really deliver here!

[USMC Kato]

I wanted to add these two games, but they are from an older generation of consoles.

I want a Ring of Red update and also Robot Alchemic Drive

[raydude]

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th w/ up to 64 player coop and the ability to have multi-crewed bombers.
Search and Rescue: Vietnam Med+Evac
And a spiritual successor to Rescue on Fractalus, where you play a SAR space-pilot in the future.

[wonderpug]

What a bizarre pair of obscure, under-appreciated games that I am total agreement with you on.

I also want:

Privateer
Wing Commander: Armada (spaceship sim and turn based strategy, woo!)
X-Wing, TIE Fighter series
Starflight
Rebellion

Holy shit I really love space sci-fi, apparently.

On the B-list I'll add that an inexpensive XBLA update to Gozilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee would be a lot of fun to see.  Or whatever that other non-Godzilla giant monster game was that came out around the same time.

[Morgul]

I also want:
X-Wing, TIE Fighter series

+1

I played the crap out of tie fighter. 

Although the only thing I can remember at the moment was "the emperor" branding some symbol on my fore arm

[Caine]

"The Emperors Hand", I believe, for completing enough special missions  during the course of the game.
