    I'll have a new rogue squadron, if someone is taking orders.

    Desert Strike. Just update the engine and graphics but keep the view and the gameplay the same. Awesome.

    Surprised that some people already posted about Turrican, Another World and Flashback!:D

    Would like to see a remake of Vagrant Story. Loved it when it first came out but just cant bring myself to play it again as it looks kinda crap by today's standards (obviously) HD remake would be glorious! I wouldnt want a sequel considering the rubbish that SquareEnix spew out these days

    Bringing Tenchu back to the glory days would be fantastic also. IIRC the last two Tenchu games where a puzzle game and some PEGI12 game on the Wii :mad:

    +1 to Flashback and Elite though.

    Destruction Derby, nostalgia overload. Such a fun game, spent hours upon hours on it when I was a kid.

    Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. SHENMUE too!

    I think you may be on to something there!

    Tie Fighter/X Wing

    Star Wars Battlefront

    Outcast

    and I would really love another Vampire The Masquerade RPG. Don't get me started on how amazing the 2 games were, Redemption and Bloodlines.

    Oh and Thief, but that could be on the way anyways, so here's hoping Eidos don't bin it.

    It's an enduring mystery to me that nobody seems able to sort out another Battlefront. There's demand for it, it's a Star Wars game so it's a license to print money, it lends itself to online so well, and it's such an effortlessly simple concept to make something great out of.

    I've been playing the first two again lately; the space battles are still unique and the game in general is still a riot. I would love to see those effects on modern platforms.

    Great game, could do with a visual update and no more. Never finished it, kept getting lost in the forest. Maybe better graphics would help my orientation skills!:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,439 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Deus Ex..the original and not the crappy sequels.

    Battlefield 1942 - updated with Frostbite 2 engine and leave everything else as is.

    F22 Total Air War - One of the finest fighter jet game ever made...pity DID went under :(

    woohoo..never realised the modding community released an updated version a few years back...you can now download it for free :D

    I would love to see a remake of Dragon's Lair, this time without the geeky main character and the horrendous control. If done properly it could be awesome:)

    I'd also like to see the Drakan series revived. "Drakan-The Ancient's Gates" was my favourite game on the PS2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29 MilionMilesAway


    This list could get quite long.
    Hired Guns was a brilliant little Future themed RPG from the Amiga days.
    Carrier Command ( I think they are re-making it in fact). They better have the original game included as a Easter egg.
    Supremacy
    Dungeon master
    Eye of the beholders
    I got a few of these on emulators, but like most things, the memory is better than the replayed experience.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,770 ✭✭✭FortuneChip


    Vagrant Story wasn't exactly a Franchise, but I feel it really deserved some sort of follow on. It had really good characters, and the lore was all enjoyable.
    Rosencrantz was a particular favourite

    Loved the fighting system, but it would definitely require tweaking what with two generations having passed since then!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Bring me a modern Syndicate game that doesn't suck, damn it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,478 ✭✭✭omerin




  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭GarH


    Starglider 1 + 2
    Driller
    Dark Side
    Turrican 1 + 2

    I could name 100s more

    Some sort of a Conflict Desert Storm remake would be nice. Very difficult games, but enjoyed them.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,186 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Is Homeworld too new to ask for a sequel/reboot? Cause i want one god dammit!

    Also, Freespace 3.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭weemcd


    I'd mark out for a selection of beautifully redrawn megadrive games

    Streets of rage (same style or similar vein to Street Fighter 2 HD remix that was available for DL would be the dogs)
    Rocket Knight Adventures

    I never played the Wu Tang games so I don't know how good/poor they were, but a good beat em' up with all the Wu members would be am absolute treat for me. Decent soundtrack, comic book/ninja theme, all the wu mythology to draw on (liquid swords album, music videos, wu time machine etc.) would all make a great game in the right hands. That or a game like ninja gaiden, where you could use different characters to approach stages differently, different weapons, abilities styles etc. Lot of room for variety...


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Um Jammer Lammy

    Vib Ribbon

    Destruction Derby

    Claymates

    Battlefield Vietnam

    Another World/Flashback.

    Anyone remember the third person game of this series on the ps1? It was crap as hell, but I loved it.

    So yeah would like to see this series redone....booted...whatever the cool kids are saying now.

    I'm not saying I'd like them as fps's's, probably a hd collection would suit me.

    Do you have an Android phone?



    I'd also second Flashback. Definitely my favourite MegaDrive game of all time!

    Some of the stuff that Free Radical were doing on it looked so promising :(
