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

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!

  • 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
  • Parasite Eve
  • Megaman Legends
  • King's Field
  • Panzer Dragoon Saga
  • F-Zero
  • Hybrid Heaven
  • BattleTanx
  • Dino Crisis

MechWarrior 5 is a lot of fun

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 3 points 3 weeks ago

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
