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!
Just give me a new Deus Ex game please.
What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

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.
Klear@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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.
IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Given how well that game sold, it’s even more baffling that we don’t seem to be getting another Deus Ex. Don’t they like money or something?
AceQuorthon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Yes please, one close to the original <3

KOTOR
beepnoise@piefed.social 2 months ago
Nice choice! Would you like them to start afresh or would you like them to continue on from a specific game?
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
UnityDevice@startrek.website 2 months ago
Have you ever played swtor? It’s a lot like kotor 3 in many respects.
Riccosuave@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This is my number one pick as well. Just keep it the fuck away from Disney.
gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I recently started my 1st replay since I was a kid. Loving it on the steam deck, battery lasts forever with the old gem!
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I can’t believe no one has said the most obvious:
Legacy of Kain
Katana314@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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
craigers@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dude this is the correct answer. A new soul reaver game would be dope.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 months ago
A proper Thief sequel would be nice.
ToffeeIsForClosers@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Came here for this!
DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Hell yeah! Wish I could play one and two for the first time again. The third was…fine but nowhere near as good.
executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Half Life
InvisibleShoe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Spliter 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.
Ketram@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Oh man, just made my own comment on black and white, and I assumed I was the only one. Black & White 2 is still the best God game out there for me and it was so much fun.
tobz619@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Butnout: Paradise was the good shit
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 months ago
NOT
paradise/open worldJeez, I am with you in this one, what is wrong selecting tracks and having less open world games in general?
iamthewalrus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This is my number one gaming wish. The old school burnout games were great! Couldn’t get into Paradise and all the driving around in between races.
Scio@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.
Also, only a single game, but: [rpgs.co/arcanum-of-steamworks-and-magick-obscura-…). At least this one’s possible to buy in Gog and Steam…
MurrayL@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Scio@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to 🤫
simple@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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…
Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
beepnoise@piefed.social 2 months ago
Ah man! What a great choice!
It looks like the studio was behind Ghost of Tsushima, so here's hoping further down the PS5's lifecycle we get a sequel!
GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They are making too much money with ghost of tsushima lol
:(mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 2 months ago
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
GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Probably poorly, making a single player studio create multiplayer games is bad.
Unless they themselves really want it.
aksdb@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Unreal Tournament
tobz619@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Splitgate really fumbled pivoting to a loadout based shooter instead of the arena style from the first game
ICastFist@programming.dev 2 months ago
Man, to think Fortnite, of all things, killed UT. Very sad
beepnoise@piefed.social 2 months ago
YEEESSSSS!!! Man I love this game!!
sjmulder@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
Okami! Please, more!
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 months ago
XCOM 2 came out in 2016. Let’s get another XCOM game. Maybe humanity pushing into space and creating a colony which then comes under alien attack. You have to defend the colony, cut off from earth, and take out the alien menace.
I_Clean_Here@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There was Chimera Squad …
JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 months ago
I want to like Chimera Squad but every mission feels the same. I love the character based approach though. Also it was fun having aliens on the team for once.
Xcom 2 and Chimera Squad both had some annoying UI problems but luckily they were fixed (for the most part) by mods.
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 months ago
Mass Effect. Either abandon/re-do thr Andromeda storyline.
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I liked Andromeda the game more than most but I really hated Andromeda the galaxy as a setting. I’d prefer to go back to the milky way with the species from the original games. Maybe set in the future after a major political upheaval or something.
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 months ago
Yea I’m not married to the Andromeda storyline either.
I personally think a mass effect prequel game about the first contact war (or whatever the war was between the humans and the Turians) would be the most interesting.
Banichan@dormi.zone 2 months ago
None. We need less rehashes and more fresh IPs.
Post like this slow progress by letting devs think we want the same shit over and over.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve got probably 9,000 hours on different variants of the Civ franchise over my lifetime, assuming I played Civ V and VI the same amount as the other four. I’ve got 1,600 hours in Factorio and probably the same amount in KSP.
My point being that some of us kinda do want the same shit over and over.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I haven’t really played since 4 but I played 1-4 quite a bit.
Banichan@dormi.zone 2 months ago
And people like you are slowing the progress of gaming.
If you want to play a game you used to like, just play it.
BrightCandle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Syndicate (the recent indy homage alas broke the formula too much).
Mech Commander
edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Gauntlet, specifically in the vein of Legends/Dark Legacy. Arrowhead did a reboot-ish of the original style game 10 years ago, let em put some of that Helldivers 2 money into this.
Zerfallen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
helloharu@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ridge Racer - Namco have really done it dirty and would love to see it revived. Take it back to basics as a pure arcade racer without the Burnout nonsense.
Timesplitters - Just pleeeeaaase.
Alundra - It was a JRPG on PSX and nothing ever came after the second game. It had loads of potential.
SSX - I still love the stupidity of those early games. Would love to see a fun another snowboarding game that doesn’t take it self seriously.
UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Power Stone 3 Half Life 3 Need For Speed Underground 3
Basically a bunch of 3s
FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Outrun. The last one we had, Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, was fucking awesome. I literally bought that for every system they released it on. It’s one of my most played games.
I’d absolutely love a new Outrun in that same vein. There’s been a few half decent clones over the years, but none match both the gameplay, proper branching paths and overall vibes.
SEGA has long since stopped selling it because they no longer have the Ferrari license for the cars. But as a car guy, I’ve easily got dozens of suggestions what to replace them with. Ferrari’s are nice… but I’d also love an Outrun with Lamborghini, Porsche or a whole pack of Japanese cars like NSX, AE86, RX7, Miata…
GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Protoype, with Alex Mercer as the protagonist. Either a reboot or a follow-up to 1 is fine with me.
Jollyllama@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Not a series but I would love a Freelancer reboot/remake or sequel.
Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Burnout.
cheesecakecat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Watch Dogs. It’s without a doubt my favorite video game franchise of all time and it saddens me that there hasn’t been any sign of a new game being in development at all. I’d love if the game went back to its roots by following the first entries formula, but that’s just a minor preference and at this point I’d take anything.
teh_shame@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Chibi Robo!
Even just a remaster would be awesome
LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’d love to see need for speed come back following the underground 2 formula.
AuntieFreeze@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Timesplitters
xantoxis@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Far Cry. Both FC3 and FC4 were great, and then they never made another one after that.
Apeman42@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Twisted Metal: Black II please. Or even one that’s a little more of a dark comedy like TM2. I just know I hated everything after Black. (Why the fuck were we racing instead of fighting sometimes?!)
Zeusz13@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Titanfall. Proper Titanfall.
bitfucker@programming.dev 2 months ago
This. Titanfall 2 has ruined my taste in FPS forever. Nothing ever comes close for me
faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
And there were some really great levels in the campaign, that was a fun game
Miphera@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
