Old game series you'd want to see back

Anyone else here have any old game series that haven't been touched by developers for years that you would like to see a sequal, reboot or anything to?

Personally I would like to see two things made... Hexen 3 and a proper sequal to One Must Fall 2097...

    A good, non-3D, Heroes of Might and Magic. Also a good Might and Magic game. Mandate of Heaven was amazing while For Blood and Honor was okay.

    One Must Fall... isn't that like, a giant robot cage fighting game? Maaaaan, I remember playing that when I was like, 9 years old o_O

    I dunno about any series I'd want to see brought back.... I just don't think any good could come of it haha... I'm still trying to pretend that Thief 4 doesn't exist >_>

    Hmmmm... Wing Commander and an Elite remake would be welcome. And before someone mentions it, I know the Elite kickstarter was a succes but I really don't enjoy massive multiplayer games and it looks like Elite is going that way.

    One Must Fall and Alpha Centauri, good choices both.

    I've been eagerly awaiting Dungeon Keeper 3 myself for about 14 years now.
    Thankfully, someone else had that idea and is making War for the Underworld (https://wftogame.com/) which looks to be a modern clone. I hope that goes well.

    Other than that; a modern remake of Star Wars: Rebellion. That was so awesome.

    Also wouldn't mind a new vampire: the masquerade game

    Might and Magic, from VI to VIII.

    Homeworld

    Homeworld : Cataclysm (I probably played like 700 hours of this as a kid)

    Homeworld 2

    New Homeworld.

    Good news is at least its looking like Homeworld 1 and 2 could be released again thanks to THQ's bankruptcy. Just updated for modern machines.

    An modern Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura successor hands down. Hell, even only an Arcanum:HD EE would be more than suffice!
  • IllustairIllustair Member Posts: 878
    Arcanum with better combat mechanics! I would really like to play that game, but I just couldn't bear the combat.

    Probably won't make any friends with this:

    1) Knights of the Old Republic (don't say TOR is this)
    2) Castles. Games nowadays add complexity upon complexity, which is not what I want
    3) SimAnt - not really a series, though
    4) Master of Orion

    I'll be the one to say it. Half-Life 2.
  • ajwzajwz Member Posts: 4,122
    Didn't enjoy HL2 :( Was a major let down after the original half life
  • iKrivetkoiKrivetko Member Posts: 934
    Can't think of anything besides KOTOR and NWN, really.

    Come to think of it, more Chtuhlu Mythos games surely wouldn't hurt either. I still remember the countless, fond nights when I literally *devoured* Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the World! Now it's completly outdated and won't even run on my nvidia graphic card at all. ):

    Shenmue. It's been nearly fourteen years and I still dream of playing the final chapters.

    Ahhh Castles. I spent hours playing that in my Amiga 500 back in the day :)

    I'd like to see an Enhanced Edition of the old Lord British Ultima 7 series, The Black Gate and Serpent Isle, for the sake of nostalgia. That was the first game that started to offer the feel of traveling with a party in the way BG does today. The world was amazingly diverse, open and large for the day, and almost everything in it was interactive.

    At least they put Age of Empires 2 on steam. The graphical mods on there can make the game look pretty good, at least given its age.
  • IllustairIllustair Member Posts: 878
    Wow, there are graphics mods for AoE 2?

    Yea but you need to own it on steam otherwise you'd probably have to contact the creators to get them to work.

    I also can't say the state of their multiplayer at the moment or how these mods interact with it (they shouldn't but some might). They got rid of LAN in this version which kind of sucks.

    Little Big Adventure, anyone?

    The first thing I thought when I saw this was Might and Magic, but several people already mentioned it.

    I think Ubisoft still holds the rights, and they seem to have destroyed the franchise beyond all hope of resurrection with HOMM VI, unless a third developer comes along and is able to buy the rights from them.
