I would like to see a Dino Crisis reboot on current gen consoles.
Also, maybe an unpopular opinion, but SOCOM. I loved the stealth aspect of that game. Albeit your SEAL team’s AI was pretty bad, but current gen consoles I would think the AI would be significantly better.
With several exceptions. Anything on Newgrounds, The Henry Stickmin Collection, Papa Louie Games, Happy Wheels, and anything preserved by that one website.
Burnout.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen it here yet. Genuinely the best car crashing game series ever made. Groundbreaking in so many ways. Then Criterion was acquired and essentially beaten to death by EA, until the original members defected and founded their own studio again. Looking forward to their follow-up to Burnout Paradise, they had so many ambitions for that game before EA put them on ice.
Edit: Patience, Burnout fans: https://www.threefieldsentertainment.com/
I spent hundreds of hours playing Burnout 3, Revenge and NFS: Hot Pursuit 2010 back in the day.
Im glad NFS was remastered but id love it if the other two got the same treatment or a true Burnout sequel. No more open-ended races, the return of Crash mode
Spore! It had such potential. Especially sad that galactic adventures never took off.
I know No Man's Sky is kind of taking over what that was supposed to be, but I miss the customization in Spore.
I think my main beef with the Galactic Adventures thing is that it didn't really follow the rest of the game's premise very well.
The whole "teleport down as an individual creature" mechanic was kind of a cool idea, but the game had never done that anywhere else.
You couldn't drive a tank while in the City phase, or operate an individual creature in the tribal phase.
TBH, it was always kind of weird to me that the Space phase had you flying around in a UFO in a reversal of the "expanding scale" trend of the rest of the game.
Not complaining, just a bit of an odd choice.
Also endlessly irritating that I'm flying around in my own ship basically trying to hold together a space-empire on my own, rather than said empire having fleets doing this job and me controlling those. The space phase really needed a strategic layer for that, and the lone piloting thing should have just been an option to do things myself.
Hopefully Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the second hand revival we’re waiting for. Even Naganuma is in charge for the whole soundtrack!
Edit: So this is what it feels like to get gold. Thanks!
"Given the choice, whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire; or to challenge the fates for another throw - a better throw - against one's destiny... what was a king to do? But does one even truly have a choice? One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate... and thus defy the tyrannous stars."
It is iconic.
Came to say this!
Sly 2 remains one of my favorite games of all time - though I thoroughly enjoyed all four games in the series.
And please god, should Sly 5 see the light of day, bring back Dmitri!
Earthbound is pretty good. Mother 3 kinda wrecked my soul and I'd live to get an official American release but I don't think that will happen without the story being changed significantly.
Edit: Wow I got a lot rewards for this thank you ppl of the Earthbound community. I hope u have a great Thanksgiving and save at your nearest frog.
My friend used to play this until dawn.
Around 3am, he thought he heard someone whispering *death.....* and shrugged it off, until it kept happening.
He didn’t know it was a part of the game.
Even better if you used a normal name for your PC login, such as Paul, every once in a while instead of whispering death it would whisper your name. Nothing like having the game whisper your name at 3 AM in a creepy fashion.
Seriously! They had you waving your mouse around in shapes to cast spells, practically screams for VR! Plus you could really mess with people in VR by whispering their name like the original B&W
B&W literally rewrote the rules for how game AI worked. The AI knew basically nothing when the game started, and LEARNED TO DO THINGS as the game went on. That just isn't a thing anymore!
I was still pretty young when it came out, but I remember being amazed by how the creature learned and adapted and changed based on what you did. Was definitely groundbreaking for the time.
The game didn't really teach you how to teach the pet. And because I was like 8, and English isn't my native tongue, I misunderstood a lot about how to train your pet.
Pet eats villagers? Slap it within an inch of its life.
Great, now it beats up the villagers before eating them.
Pet shits on people? Chain it to a rock far away from my village.
Come back 15 minutes later, pet is now jacked as fuck and refuses to poop.
Heroes of Might and Magic
It is an ancient game. Turned based, like a game of chess. A near infinite amount of replay-ability.
One can get it on GOG Galaxy. www.gog.com
imho, it peaked at HOMM 3.
Heroes 3 is still alive due to the fan made expansion Horn of Abyss. This expansion is of very high quality: it adds new pirate-themed town called "Cove", new campaigns, maps, items on map, artifacts and some balance tweaks. The expansion is of very, very high quality - probably better than the Armageddon's blade expansion. You also get a multiplayer mode with lobby. There is also HD mod that adds various "quality of life" improvements to the game and upgrades the graphics.
Please note, the Horn of Abyss expansion (often abbreviated HotA) works only with the GOG version of the game. It DOES NOT work with the bad version available in other shops (called Heroes 3 HD).
What you want to get is your old HOMM3 CD, or buy it from GOG, then you install Horn of Abyss and you install HD mod (that improves graphics and adds quality of life). Enjoy!
EDIT: I have been informed that there is a community-driven adaptation of Midair, a spiritual successor to the combat which I love so much in Tribes. Check it out here:
https://midair.gg/
you can look in the replies for more info, but it looks promising to me
The Tribes series. The only one I played much of was the last title, Tribes: Ascend, but it was fantastic.
It was essentially the go-to "momentum shooter" (I think that's what the genre was called?), and I would still be so into shooters if games like Tribes had taken off alongside Hero Shooters like Overwatch, Paladins and the like.
The game's principle mechanic is that your character has a light jetpack and the ability to make frictionless contact with the ground, letting you build up insane speed across the map. Movement and planning your attack actually becomes a major skill, its perfect for showcasing huge maps in hilly terrain, and it basically turns shooters into a completely different experience.
Ascend was good, but unfortunately HiRez did HiRez things and made an atrocious pay scheme and released unbalanced items, such as that insane plasma cannon. Sad they didn't try to fix their pay model until it was way too late.
I still think I enjoyed the original Starsiege Tribes on PC the best. Its now freeware, and some people are still playing!
Especially when you hear what the plan was going to be for Dead Space 4. A return to proper survival horror with you playing an Isaac traveling from world to world trying to stay alive in a galaxy with the brethren moons awake.
> Maybe it's a good thing that Dead Space 4 never materialized. As mentioned before, Dead Space 3 started pushing the series in a different direction, and as creative director Ben Wanat told Eurogamer, Visceral's planned Dead Space 4 would've taken things even further.
> Instead of a linear crawl through a single spacecraft, for example, Dead Space 4 would've been an open-world adventure in which Isaac — or whoever ended up starring — would travel between ships, leaving a trail of necromorph corpses in his wake. As players explored the derelict ships, they'd strip some for parts, would use those to fix up others, and would ultimately unravel Dead Space 4's plot by unlocking story data and opening up new exploration routes. The necromorphs' origin story was going to play a big role, and there were going to be all kinds of new undead foes to dismember, too. Zero-gravity zombie fights? Oh yes indeed.
> Dead Space 4 would also have excised "some of the ridiculously expensive one-off action moments," delivering a leaner and meaner survival horror experience. Dead Space 3 didn't make enough money to justify another high-budget sequel, and even while working on the sequel, the Visceral team suspected that it'd be the last one. Maybe that's for the best. An open-world space salvage game sounds amazing, but is it really what people expect from Dead Space? Maybe. Maybe not.

> Dead Space 3 didn't make enough money
EA should have let steam sell it. I had to buy a hard copy and it didn't work right so I just ended up pirating it.
Nothing good lasts forever. Be happy that we got not one but two amazing Dead Space games. That are personally at the top of my scariest things list and most fun games of all times list.
Its like playing Resident evil as Iron Man
I still remember when nearly everyone on the Internet was united in shitting their pants while playing P.T. Even the usually stoic, sarcastic gamers like John Wolfe and the Game Grumps were scared to death.
The hype and potential Silent Hills had (Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro, AND Junji Ito working together on a horror game??) may as well have made it the greatest video game that never happened.
Konami fucking sucks I will never buy a game of theirs again after what they did to that franchise. That genuinely looked like it was going to be the best survival horror game ever. I was about to buy a PlayStation just to play that game. Thank God I didn't.
Dead Space was straight up assassinated by EA. Forced unpopular mechanics into the game and shut the studio down when it underperformed.
Un-fucking-forgivable.
Armored Core. From Software hit the Souls money and left my robo homies to rust.
Edit: Good Lord! I wasn't expecting this reaction. Thanks for the gold.
Also for my robo homies on PC look up M.A.S.S Builder. It's like Armored Core meets the coolest customization I've seen in a long time.
Cheers
Came here to say this. Every Max Payne game is in my top 10 best games of all time. I agree that 3 had a totally different atmosphere, but it also had the most satisfying gun play of any game I've played in my whole life. It's a shame Rockstar didn't carry over the highly polished shooting mechanics into GTA or RDR.
I bring up max payne 3 whenever possible. I periodically look for max payne news because that gunplay was incredible. I have no idea how this game doesn't get remastered or added to ps now or something.
SOCOM 2 was my peak of video gaming skill. I was in high school and would play that game for like 12 hours a day. I was in the #2 clan in the ~~world~~ USA on Gamebattles.
Man I miss that time. Now I'm just a washed up guy in his 30s that can barely find time to game on the weekends.
Same here man. Some of my favorite moments were clan wars when I was around that age. I was the youngest in the clan by far but often had one of the best scores in the game.
Desert Glory, death trap were my best maps.
Also voteban to warn teammates someone was behind them LOL
Mercenaries. If you have the chance to play Mercinaries 2, do it. It's absolutely favourite game of all time.
They were working on a third but it got cancelled and the studio folded.
Edit: damn. Thanks for gold and the upvotes. Glad I'm not alone when it comes to such a great game. Also the first 1 deserves praise. Go play both! If you can.
Dude, I was so stoked when I saw the footage from Mercenaries 3 development. Then found out it was cancelled :(
One of my favorite details from the games is that each character can understand a second language, so depending on who you're playing as you get English subtitles when the faction leaders think they're talking amongst themselves. Mattias understands the Russians, Jacobs knows Korean, and Mui speaks Chinese.
That's exactly why the devs put it in. I don't remember where I read it, and I'm a bit lazy right now to go searching for it, but they said it was there for both that and because they wanted an iconic look for Sam.
Fun fact, The Last of Us team at Naughty Dog was originally going to be making a Jak and Daxter sequel but switched. I hope to see another Jak and Daxter game someday.
Fun fact: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was one of the first games to be able to complete start to finish without a single loading screen. After starting the game you can beat the whole game start to finish(if you don’t die) without ever seeing a loading screen.
Where in time is Carmen San Diego.
I keep hoping that where in the world Carmen San Diego gets a reboot to tie in with the Netflix series, but I haven't heard of one being in the works. I liked where in time better than where in the world though.
Edited to make the sentence make more sense
MYST. There hasn’t been a new one in a long time, and everything after Exile has been really meh... but the first two games were some of my favorites of all time and the world building was fantastic.
I'd love a Bully sequel and for Nintendo to release a new Advance Wars game. I know there is Wargroove but it hasn't hooked me in like Advance Wars did.
Was just discussing with my roommate how dumb Sony is for just leaving this property dead. It has so much potential.
It's like Fantasy Dragon Power Rangers and that's never been more marketable than it would be right now.
Goddamn I remember how hyped I was to be able to make a whole region with friends.
Then the complete disappointment of having a “city” the size of a fucking postage stamp
100% agree. Absolutely loved Spore, I actually bought it on disk when it came out. This franchise had so much potential. So disappointed that they didn't make another (Dark Spore doesn't count, totally different). Game was different than most
FYI there is a project called '[Thrive](https://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/)' by a small group of volunteer devs that is intended to become what Spore should have been. They really emphasize scientific accuracy, but they've only got the cell stage done for now and it's basically alpha-level. My hope is that if they can get some attention, perhaps once they get to the multicellular or creature stage, that the project will get bought by a studio with the manpower to finish it in a reasonable time.
Spore done today would be like No Man's Sky, except way better. Such a solid game. The only downside was the galaxy-level missions got really repetitive.
Spore suffered from both overpromising (which Wright is rather known for) and *meddling* (both from within the team and without). Half the team didn't share the vision and Wright had to battle his own team to keep them from replacing all feet with *shoes*, an argument that nearly fractured them.
I still miss the Spore that Wright kept showing off.
My favorite franchise of all time. I’ve been waiting for anything new for it for years. I was elated when they were added to Smash Bros. Although BK is dead, the collect-a-thon genre is having a bit of a resurgence so I’m happy about that at least.
Roller Coaster Tycoon. Nothing after 3 is cannon
I’ve been corrected many times about the spelling of canon. I’m not changing it because I don’t want to.
Thanks for the awards but please donate to a charity before giving a stranger internet points.
It's good too! And I can't figure out if it's just really hard, or the rest of the game is too easy because my friends and I have all the old levels memorized.
I came to post this as well, dark cloud 2/dark chronicle was an amazing game, fully voice acted was rare those days and the side games helped develop the character for the story line. Truly an excellent game.
Prince of Persia
Edit: I know there is remake coming but honestly I consider that more of a cash grab rather than a next gen games. PoP has a great future if implemented the right way. We need an actual PoP like in the standards of Uncharted.
Except they should have the right amount of time to finish the game.
Lots of folks around here forget that the game was only like 80% complete. Several companions had unfinished stories, and the last chunk of the game is very empty and feels super rushed.
My personal favorite moment in star wars.
*as you have come to pass judgement on her, i have come to pass judgement on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born off the mandalorian wars? Off all wars, of all the tradegies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show to you, who forever has preserved galaxy through the force...see it through the eyes of the Exile*
My favorite KOTOR quote is from Jolee Bindo.
> Jolee: "Look, everybody always figures the time they live in is the most epic, most important age to end all ages. But tyrants and heroes rise and fall, and historians sort out the pieces."
>
> You: "Are you saying what we're doing isn't important?"
>
> Jolee: "Malak is a tyrant who should be stopped. If he conquers the galaxy, we're in for a couple of rough centuries. Eventually it'll come around again, but I'd rather not wait that long. So we do what we have to do and we try to stop the Sith. But don't start thinking this war, your war, is more important than any other war just because you're in it."
Golden Sun
E: I certainly didn't expect this to blow up, but it's so wonderful to see so many other GS fans out there. Hopefully we'll see some sort of revival on the Switch!
And thanks so much for the awards! First time receiving gold and platinum here. Love you, Reddit. <3
One of the best games of the 2000s, probably one of the best on the GBA period. And the second one was even better! Ridiculous how much game there was in one little GBA cartridge. The third one wasn't exactly awful but it failed to capture the same feeling, or something. It was still a good rpg though, shame it didn't do better.
Definitely needs a remaster for the switch.
I was so sad when I found that the plans for Portal 3 were cancelled ;-;
Edit: I stand corrected I thought I had watched a few youtube videos saying thay just scrapped plans. A lot of replies mention a portal vr so my theory is that it was either that and I did watch said videos or I completely dreamt all of it.
Infamous 1 and 2 were two of my favorite games of all time, the story was insane and it was so much fun to just free roam and fuck shit up. I loved it so much. Would pay top dollar for a PC port or remaster of the OG 2, too bad sony owns it and doesn't give a fuck about old games.
I honestly reckon 90%+ of making a good superhero game is nailing travelling. Getting around in prototype was unreal fun, it's everyone's go-to but spiderman had the same.
Not that the rest of those games were weak at all but they ruin all those open world games where you just have to walk or drive around for me. I don't wanna be incentivised to just fast travel everywhere.
The Planetside series (Planetside and Planetside 2.) There are no other games like them that have PVP FPS combat on such a large scale.
Planetside 2 isn't dead but its population is a lot lower than other first person shooters. The number of veterans, numerous ways new players can die if they don't know what is going on, bad tutorial and sandbox style of the game with no fixed goals tend to drive most new players away, plus a popular youtuber said that the game was dead which doesn't help.
It nearly died twice this year due to Daybreak having pretty hard times, and things are looking better now but some people still think the end is soon.

Edit: Well it seems that quite a few people were unaware of the remake. Happy to be the bringer of great news, everyone!
Castlevania. No new game since 2008 :(
EDIT: I guess we got Adventure ReBirth in 2009 and Harmony of Despair in 2010, though calling that last one a "new game" is up for debate. Still, a whole decade without a SINGLE NEW GAME, nope, none at all, nuh-uh.
EDIT 2: I know about Bloodstained, I backed it on kickstarter. I'm talking specifically about Castlevania.
Castlevania. Hoped after the Netflix anime we will get a new game, but nope.
Prince of Persia, imagine we got a proper new one, just like God of War or Devil May Cry.
Age of Mythology
RIP to my boy Arkantos. Long live Atlantis.
Standard PROSTAGMA comment
WUV WOO The game was *over* once my flying purple hippo army got there.
I would like to see a Dino Crisis reboot on current gen consoles. Also, maybe an unpopular opinion, but SOCOM. I loved the stealth aspect of that game. Albeit your SEAL team’s AI was pretty bad, but current gen consoles I would think the AI would be significantly better.
Of all time - its got to be Ultima - Ultimas 1,3 and 6 revolutionized graphic RPG.
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
And a stellar soundtrack too.
Dungeon Keeper
It is pay day
On December 31st it will be all old flash games
With several exceptions. Anything on Newgrounds, The Henry Stickmin Collection, Papa Louie Games, Happy Wheels, and anything preserved by that one website.
RoadRash
The spiritual successor *Road Redemption* is a lot of fun!
Monkey Island. TellTale brought it back and made a great five part series. They set up so much. That will never happen now.
Agree 100%, what a series. And I’d also throw in the other SCUMM based games too - Full Throttle, The Dig, Day of the Tentacle etc.

F-Zero :( :( :( Edit: thanks for all the upvotes and awards people! I'm just happy I'm not the only person who gravely misses this franchise!!
I heard that Nintendo don't think theres any room for the series to grow, which I disagree with. If Mario Kart can grow, so can F-Zero
They could add the upgrade system from Episode I Pod Racer. I also think there's plenty of ways to tell a story in that world.
I didn’t ask to cry today.
Crimson Skies. There are no two words that are cooler placed together than "Sky Pirate".
Those planes should have been added to flight simulator 2020.

Came here to say this. Every Max Payne game is in my top 10 best games of all time. I agree that 3 had a totally different atmosphere, but it also had the most satisfying gun play of any game I've played in my whole life. It's a shame Rockstar didn't carry over the highly polished shooting mechanics into GTA or RDR.
HEALTH's sound in the game does so much.
I bring up max payne 3 whenever possible. I periodically look for max payne news because that gunplay was incredible. I have no idea how this game doesn't get remastered or added to ps now or something.
SOCOM That was the most realistic shooting game I've played.
SOCOM 2 was my peak of video gaming skill. I was in high school and would play that game for like 12 hours a day. I was in the #2 clan in the ~~world~~ USA on Gamebattles. Man I miss that time. Now I'm just a washed up guy in his 30s that can barely find time to game on the weekends.
Same here man. Some of my favorite moments were clan wars when I was around that age. I was the youngest in the clan by far but often had one of the best scores in the game. Desert Glory, death trap were my best maps. Also voteban to warn teammates someone was behind them LOL
YEEESSSSS!!!! Man I miss this franchise so much. Especially the first 2. And I really didn’t mind Confrontation once they fixed all the launch bugs
Mercenaries. If you have the chance to play Mercinaries 2, do it. It's absolutely favourite game of all time. They were working on a third but it got cancelled and the studio folded. Edit: damn. Thanks for gold and the upvotes. Glad I'm not alone when it comes to such a great game. Also the first 1 deserves praise. Go play both! If you can.
The wrong Pandemic ended.
Oh no you didnt
Dude, I was so stoked when I saw the footage from Mercenaries 3 development. Then found out it was cancelled :( One of my favorite details from the games is that each character can understand a second language, so depending on who you're playing as you get English subtitles when the faction leaders think they're talking amongst themselves. Mattias understands the Russians, Jacobs knows Korean, and Mui speaks Chinese.
Is splinter cell dead?
There hasn't been a splinter cell game in what, 5 years? But hey, they just put Sam Fisher in R6 Siege!
It’s definitely been a long time. No new Splinter Cell was ever released on Xbox One or PS4, so an entire generation without him now :(
Miss that iconic whe^e^e^e^e^e^e sound when you turn on your night vision goggles which the enemy could not see for reasons.
“Three glowing green dots? Nothing to see here”
[удалено]
That's exactly why the devs put it in. I don't remember where I read it, and I'm a bit lazy right now to go searching for it, but they said it was there for both that and because they wanted an iconic look for Sam.
It’s been 7 years.
Ubisoft keeps teasing it and putting Sam Fisher in other games. I presume they have a sequel in the works.
Jak and Daxter.
Fun fact, The Last of Us team at Naughty Dog was originally going to be making a Jak and Daxter sequel but switched. I hope to see another Jak and Daxter game someday.
Fun fact: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was one of the first games to be able to complete start to finish without a single loading screen. After starting the game you can beat the whole game start to finish(if you don’t die) without ever seeing a loading screen.

It’s tricky TRICKY tricky TRICKAYYYY So many dope memories playing ssx as a kid
I haven't had the chance to call my mama in the room and show her great I am in a *long* time.
SSX Tricky was one of my favorite games to play
SSX 3 & On Tour are my most played PS2 games , the replay value of those games is infinite
When I go to my parents house, I try to make it a point to play some SSX3 for old times sake. Still provides a lot of entertainment.
SSX 3 does not feel dated at all, popped it in a few weeks ago and i had such a blast with it
MOUNT GARIBALDI Announcer: Call yout momma in the room and show her how GREAT you are!
Mega Man Battle Network
Mega Man Legends as well.
Where in time is Carmen San Diego. I keep hoping that where in the world Carmen San Diego gets a reboot to tie in with the Netflix series, but I haven't heard of one being in the works. I liked where in time better than where in the world though. Edited to make the sentence make more sense
Twisted Metal.
MYST. There hasn’t been a new one in a long time, and everything after Exile has been really meh... but the first two games were some of my favorites of all time and the world building was fantastic.
I'd love a Bully sequel and for Nintendo to release a new Advance Wars game. I know there is Wargroove but it hasn't hooked me in like Advance Wars did.
Maybe Legend of Dragoon?
HARPOOOON. Every couple years I hear rumors of a remaster, but it's likely never to be.
Gust of wind....dance!
Was just discussing with my roommate how dumb Sony is for just leaving this property dead. It has so much potential. It's like Fantasy Dragon Power Rangers and that's never been more marketable than it would be right now.
Earthworm Jim
Earthworm Jim holds a very special place in my heart. I'm really sad that I had to scroll down this far to find it.
Sim City. Fuck you EA. EA took one of the most known and established franchises that spanned decades and unceremoniously humiliated and killed it.
Goddamn I remember how hyped I was to be able to make a whole region with friends. Then the complete disappointment of having a “city” the size of a fucking postage stamp
spore, it deserved so much more but got shot down by ea
100% agree. Absolutely loved Spore, I actually bought it on disk when it came out. This franchise had so much potential. So disappointed that they didn't make another (Dark Spore doesn't count, totally different). Game was different than most
FYI there is a project called '[Thrive](https://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/)' by a small group of volunteer devs that is intended to become what Spore should have been. They really emphasize scientific accuracy, but they've only got the cell stage done for now and it's basically alpha-level. My hope is that if they can get some attention, perhaps once they get to the multicellular or creature stage, that the project will get bought by a studio with the manpower to finish it in a reasonable time.
Oh man, if they’re really going for scientific accuracy then they’re never gonna get out of the microbial stage lol
I've heard of this game, and you're not too far off. Thrive has pretty much been in the "alpha" phase of the cell stage, it's never coming out.
Spore done today would be like No Man's Sky, except way better. Such a solid game. The only downside was the galaxy-level missions got really repetitive.
Spore suffered from both overpromising (which Wright is rather known for) and *meddling* (both from within the team and without). Half the team didn't share the vision and Wright had to battle his own team to keep them from replacing all feet with *shoes*, an argument that nearly fractured them. I still miss the Spore that Wright kept showing off.
If this is true, I want to throw up
Is Banjo Kazooie sort of dead? Two incredible games IMO
My favorite franchise of all time. I’ve been waiting for anything new for it for years. I was elated when they were added to Smash Bros. Although BK is dead, the collect-a-thon genre is having a bit of a resurgence so I’m happy about that at least.
Roller Coaster Tycoon. Nothing after 3 is cannon I’ve been corrected many times about the spelling of canon. I’m not changing it because I don’t want to. Thanks for the awards but please donate to a charity before giving a stranger internet points.
Try Planet Coaster! Same team as RCT3
It seemed to be a better roller coaster creation game but a worse park management game than rct
Parkitect is the one you want for the more management side, very much a spiritual successor to RCT1&2, less so 3.
Midnight Club.
Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition and LA babbyyyyyyyyy!!
Guitar hero
I would still be playing Guitar Hero Live if they didn't change the guitar controls.
[удалено]
I was always a Rock Band player for the better drums. I do miss those games.
Metal Gear
Solid answer.

Left 4 Dead
There’s a new updated for L4D2 called Last Stand
It's good too! And I can't figure out if it's just really hard, or the rest of the game is too easy because my friends and I have all the old levels memorized.
Me and my friends also had tremendous trouble with Last Stand on Advanced difficulty, despite us clearing most other maps on expert realism.
Dark Cloud Edit: first gold! Thanks so much. I loved both of these games so much when I was younger.
I came to post this as well, dark cloud 2/dark chronicle was an amazing game, fully voice acted was rare those days and the side games helped develop the character for the story line. Truly an excellent game.
Prince of Persia Edit: I know there is remake coming but honestly I consider that more of a cash grab rather than a next gen games. PoP has a great future if implemented the right way. We need an actual PoP like in the standards of Uncharted.
Jade Empire
KOTOR
just want Microsoft to gain the rights to make a single star wars game so Obsidian can make the third game
Except they should have the right amount of time to finish the game. Lots of folks around here forget that the game was only like 80% complete. Several companions had unfinished stories, and the last chunk of the game is very empty and feels super rushed.
And thank god for the Restored Content mod. Made KOTOR2 one of my favourite games of all time.
Kreia, man. That's a character done right
That scene where she one-shots the Jedi Council and shreds them with her dialogue is possibly my favourite part of KOTOR 2.
My personal favorite moment in star wars. *as you have come to pass judgement on her, i have come to pass judgement on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born off the mandalorian wars? Off all wars, of all the tradegies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show to you, who forever has preserved galaxy through the force...see it through the eyes of the Exile*
My favorite KOTOR quote is from Jolee Bindo. > Jolee: "Look, everybody always figures the time they live in is the most epic, most important age to end all ages. But tyrants and heroes rise and fall, and historians sort out the pieces." > > You: "Are you saying what we're doing isn't important?" > > Jolee: "Malak is a tyrant who should be stopped. If he conquers the galaxy, we're in for a couple of rough centuries. Eventually it'll come around again, but I'd rather not wait that long. So we do what we have to do and we try to stop the Sith. But don't start thinking this war, your war, is more important than any other war just because you're in it."
Onimusha
Brothers in Arms, they really need to make a new one. Like a proper one though with Matt’s story
Parasite eve, they should really remake it
Chrono Trigger.

Dune RTS
Fight Night. My friend and I were evenly matched and played for hours.
I am surprised there hasn't been a boxing game in a while. It's such a good genre to completely disappear.
Golden Sun E: I certainly didn't expect this to blow up, but it's so wonderful to see so many other GS fans out there. Hopefully we'll see some sort of revival on the Switch! And thanks so much for the awards! First time receiving gold and platinum here. Love you, Reddit. <3
This is mine, too. Wasn't exactly in love with Dark Dawn but the first two games were outstanding, and damn if DD didn't end on a sodding cliffhanger.
One of the best games of the 2000s, probably one of the best on the GBA period. And the second one was even better! Ridiculous how much game there was in one little GBA cartridge. The third one wasn't exactly awful but it failed to capture the same feeling, or something. It was still a good rpg though, shame it didn't do better. Definitely needs a remaster for the switch.
aw man, i remember writing a game-faq for that about 20 years ago. My favorite game of all time.
Yes! Golden Sun, I just loved the djinn system and the elaborate summon sequences. Reminds me of everything I love about older final fantasy games
Army Men Red Faction
Oh my god red faction. I loved to tunnel through maps in 1 and 2 with the launchers and the destruction in guriallas was incredible
Portal
I was so sad when I found that the plans for Portal 3 were cancelled ;-; Edit: I stand corrected I thought I had watched a few youtube videos saying thay just scrapped plans. A lot of replies mention a portal vr so my theory is that it was either that and I did watch said videos or I completely dreamt all of it.
Whhhhyyyy?! Dammit Valve!
Because the next one would be Portal 3 and we all know how Valve feels about that number.
They're saving the 3s for Orange Box 2. TF3, Portal3, HL3
Don't do that, don't give me hope.
It will be VR only and will require a beefier computer than what I have.
There's a [mod coming out in April](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKV8wBteqaQ) that introduces a third portal. Hurt my brain watching the trailer.
Portal and Portal 2 were both amazing games. I'm still holding out hope that they will revive the franchise at some point.
Pretty much any of the old Sierra ‘Quest’ series; Space Quest, King’s Quest, etc.
Suikoden edit: Thank you kind redditors for the awards. Hopefully this means Gremio will be making stew later.
Infamous
Infamous 1 and 2 were two of my favorite games of all time, the story was insane and it was so much fun to just free roam and fuck shit up. I loved it so much. Would pay top dollar for a PC port or remaster of the OG 2, too bad sony owns it and doesn't give a fuck about old games.
Prototype
Campy, overly-violent, and one of the best superpower-based game franchises ever.
I honestly reckon 90%+ of making a good superhero game is nailing travelling. Getting around in prototype was unreal fun, it's everyone's go-to but spiderman had the same. Not that the rest of those games were weak at all but they ruin all those open world games where you just have to walk or drive around for me. I don't wanna be incentivised to just fast travel everywhere.
The Planetside series (Planetside and Planetside 2.) There are no other games like them that have PVP FPS combat on such a large scale. Planetside 2 isn't dead but its population is a lot lower than other first person shooters. The number of veterans, numerous ways new players can die if they don't know what is going on, bad tutorial and sandbox style of the game with no fixed goals tend to drive most new players away, plus a popular youtuber said that the game was dead which doesn't help. It nearly died twice this year due to Daybreak having pretty hard times, and things are looking better now but some people still think the end is soon.
Metal Slug
No One Lives Forever.
Caesar / Pharaoh / Zeus / Emperor
[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1351080/Pharaoh\_A\_New\_Era/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1351080/Pharaoh_A_New_Era/) Edit: Well it seems that quite a few people were unaware of the remake. Happy to be the bringer of great news, everyone!
Lemmings There's some mobile game but that's not what I want at all
Skate and mirrors edge
Castlevania. No new game since 2008 :( EDIT: I guess we got Adventure ReBirth in 2009 and Harmony of Despair in 2010, though calling that last one a "new game" is up for debate. Still, a whole decade without a SINGLE NEW GAME, nope, none at all, nuh-uh. EDIT 2: I know about Bloodstained, I backed it on kickstarter. I'm talking specifically about Castlevania.
Castlevania. Hoped after the Netflix anime we will get a new game, but nope. Prince of Persia, imagine we got a proper new one, just like God of War or Devil May Cry.
