My relatively obscure and hopeless choice is Golden Sun 4

Ooh I have another one! Steamland, the game of my childhood. RTS with trains. Would be very cool if it had a sequel.

Honestly every valve IP

Maybe not tf3 though, perhaps instead if it was a complete rewrite of tf2 and engine port that fixed all the jank

I wanted to see KOTOR 3 for years, but after seeing the writing in TOR and knowing Disney has bought the IP, I don't expect it, and I wouldn't be super excited if they actually make it.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan 3 points 4 days ago

SWTOR is as close as we are ever gonna get. Even if it's not quite the same thing. At least the base game story wise is solid and free!

Just turn the chat off and pretend everyone running around is a NPC. πŸ˜‚

Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.

In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.

Timesplitters. Can't believe that series got left to rot

No One Lives Forever

But as the games are in rights hell this will never happen.

A proper new Thief would also be nice. By someone who actually wants to make it maybe this time.

If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It's fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2's own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.

What I'm looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There's some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.

I'm also interested in Project Borealis, but that's untested for the moment.

Before the release of DA veilguard, my answer would be Mass Effect 4. Now I'm not so sure.

Elder scrolls. It's been how long since the announcement of a coastline?

[–] Stovetop 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

If it's not out within the next 4 years, it will officially be the case that more time has passed between Elder Scrolls 5 and 6 than Elder Scrolls 1 through 5.

17 years between Arena and Skyrim compared to 13 years so far since Skyrim's release in 2011 (and counting, almost up to 14 years if counting from calendar year alone).

When Skyrim came out, Bethesda promised free new Bethesda games for life to parents of kids born on 11/11/11 who named their child Dovahkiin. Young Dovahkiin is almost in high school now, and of the promised free games, their parents have earned a whopping:

  • Fallout 4
  • Fallout 76
  • Starfield

Hope it was worth it.

Same goes to Witcher 1 -> 3 to 3 -> 4 and almost Gta 1 -> 5 to 5 -> 6, and many more franchises. Why is it happening?

Demon Souls - DS3 to DS3 - Elden Ring wasn't too far off either.

Smugglers Run - Good premise. I think it could be great with the right modern touches.

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - I know Sekiro started that way but I'd like a legit sequel with legit developed mechanics/story from the originals.

MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 - I think the multiplayer Jam Mode was ahead of its time, and someone should revisit that aspect in a modern mindset.

Hollow Knight

I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I'm still pumped for when they're ready to release it.

I personally think blood omen was a way better game then all those 3d sequels. I would welcome a game in that style, kinda cool story and lots of secrets to be found.

Deus Ex. There was supposed to be a third and then Eidos sold out to make the Avengers game that flopped.

[–] esc27 9 points 4 days ago

Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I'm not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves... Even the story was good and entertaining.

Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have "fun". I miss freelancer's simplicity and space fights...

Days Gone 2 (not gonna happen though).

I would love a new Mother game to be honest...

or another Super Lucky's Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.

I've been diving into Fallout lately. Love the world building. Definitely wouldn't mind a 5th installment. May wait a few years after they release it for them to fix the worst of the bugs before playing it though. Bethesda may make great games, but damn they a buggy mess.

Bloody Roar. The rights are held by Konami, so there's practically no chance of it happening.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Bushido Blade.

All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.

Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.

[–] BodePlotHole 3 points 4 days ago

I've been saying this for YEARS.

I had high hopes for Hellish Quart; But it just didn't quite get there for me. It's been a long time since I played it. Not sure if they've added more polish since then...

Been watching and waiting for Hollow Knight 2 for entirely too long, but I'd rather have a polished but delayed game then a crap rushed one.

At least that one is confirmed

Kenshi 2, but I just want a remastered version that makes it more playable.

We’re about due for another game from my favorite series : Tomb Raider

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Probably Freelancer it's going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I've honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.

Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.

So yeah Id like them to reboot it.

Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I'm just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I'm also really into LEGO so yay!) I can't wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.
