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!

      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.

      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.

      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.

          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.

      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.

        I really like the boomer shooter and PS1 style graphics comeback, but I also agree with you.

        Also, Legacy of Kain Defiance holds up pretty decently

    No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.

    They’re both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we’re golden!

    Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one’s possible to buy on Gog and Steam…)

    Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I’d prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I’d still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!

      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.

        I keep hearing that, but it seems like if there was a market for a 60s-themed spy game, someone would make a game that’s totally starring Kat Bowman who is an agent for ACCORD.

        Sadly it’s probably more that uh, there isn’t and now I’m going to go sad replay NOLF again.

      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!

    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.

        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.

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

            They had pre-arranged intersections with set traffic patterns and multipliers and stuff scattered about, so it was a puzzle as well as a driving challenge.

            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.

    Black and White. I miss good god games. Most these days seem like they are just casual, mobile style games.

    Splinter Cell. Or a similar tactical stealth shooter. Except made by anyone other than Ubishit

      Splinter Cell, specifically picking up where Chaos Theory left off. Use it to showcase Unreal Engine 5 lighting and make it a proper, spectacular stealth game again with Spies v. Mercs multiplayer.

    Infamous. 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…

      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.

      It looks like the studio was behind Ghost of Tsushima, so here’s hoping further down the PS5’s lifecycle we get a sequel!

      I 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.

      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.
