I, like every other self respecting person, have ignored that... thing like the piece of drivel it is. Of all the franchises to ruin it had to be shadowrun? The thing that sucks is that piece of garbage has probably ruined any chance of a new, REAL Shadowrun open world game that would ever be developed. A new Shadowrun open world game, if made with the same care and attention to detail as the Sega release from the early 90's, would be the BEST open world game ever.apsham said:
I think the Dungeon Keeper series was EVERYTHING that was right about PC gaming. Dungeon Keeper 3 with a few control issues fixed from 2 and a robust online component would be life endageringly fun. Imagine doing 8 person FFA's with current PC capabilities. It would be great.Cheesebob said:
I spent SO much time playing Mechwarrior's 2, 3, and 4 and I would love a 5. I also REALLY loved the Mechcommander series (especially the live action cut scenes from the first. I love the worst acting ever!). Any new PC mechwarrior games would be great.HarmlessBunny said:
Its nice that this game is still remembered because it was awesome.Vanguard1219 said:

1. No chance if you're in the UK like me, so emulator time! It's incredible by the way.
2. My god, YES. The music from the first level is in my head ALREADY and WILL NOT leave.
3. It sure could.
Sticking with the Amiga theme (thanks for the inspiration!) I'd kill for updates on the Cannon Fodder games and/or Moonstone : A Hard Days Knight.
Firaxis made a Colonization stand-alone "expansion" using Civ IV's engine. Alpha Centauri could REALLY use the update as well. It was the only Civ-like game I actually liked. I've seen some mods for Civ IV for it, but I'd rather that Firaxis give it the full treatment.
The Star Control series, especially Star Control 2 were really deep expansive games with a lot of backstory for just about everything. I officially ignore Star Control 3 as it is utter garbage; the developers know nothing of the Star Control universe, and tacked on all this contrived junk and retcons.
Transport Tycoon was a really fun game, and one of the older "Tycoon" games before they became a genre. I ignore Locomotion, as it is Rollercoaster Tycoon without rollercoasters. Track by painful track layouts, especially on straight runs was just about ready to give me carpal tunnel. Dragging and dropping straight track would be best, really.
Katamari Damacy + realistic looking models = absurd hilarity. 'Nuf said.
Sim City with even more realistic layouts. Many metropolitan cities don't have perfect grids as roads are concerned, as some are angled, or curved, or staggered. An intelligent way to design such roads as to have a miniature Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles or Dallas would really be nice.
Asheron's Call was the second MMO that I tried and I stuck with it. It had a really rich character system which was sadly dumbed down in Asheron's Call 2. What my friends and I find really good about Asheron's Call is that it is not gear centric; it's entirely based on skills. In my opinion that makes for a better game than to turn level 5, get all the obscenely overpowered gear and then become the equivalent of a level 30. Equip two people with the same weapons and armor, and one will have a huge advantage over the other in knowledge and skill if the other is a total novice with the equipment.

I'd kill for a chance to play a next-gen GoldenEye on Live or PSN. I remember back a year or 2 ago, a couple people redid a few levels using the Source engine. Not gunna lie, I could have cried when I found out those screens were just a mod and not a full-fleged game.
I agree with someone who said Max Payne, but I also would like an updated version of San Fransisco Rush, still one of my favourite ever racing games!
isnt that swell? 
While im still awake, i'll give out one more shout, to Monster Rancher and Jade Cocoon!
Those were sweet PSOne titles right there.

Battlezone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(1998_video_game))
RTS meets FPS in an interesting way. Wouldn't even change the game play, honestly, except maybe increase the units limit, and have the graphics at modern levels.

I would like to see Shadow of the Colossus, Maximo, the Kingdom Under Fire series (the new one sucked ass, I want the old ones updated)
I also want the Timesplitters games updated. I was looking forward to the fourth one, that is until Free Radical went belly-up.
I would also like the spyro games from the PS1 (the good ones made by Insomniac) remade
and Crash the Bandicoot (from Naughty Dog) remade.
all the new ones suck so badly that they are just a disgrace.
And Conquer's Bad Fur Day without the cencorship and the old multiplayer brought back.

Fanboyish yes, but I would definitely buy a technically updated, ultra shiny graphical FFVII and play through it again
More realistically though I think Mount and Blade is an awesome game, I just wish that it had been executed a bit better with at least semi-current gen graphics, better physics engine etc..

If that happened, they'd have to be working together. If they were against each other in an arena game or something, Spyro would never get in flaming distance of Ratchet before he shot the poor dragon's head off.Indigo_Dingo said:
Having said that, since the current Ratchet and Clank storyline has Clank missing, maybe Ratchet could find Spyro to do his gliding deeds instead?
As much as I'd love a new decent Spyro, he's not really suited to HD due to his character limitations (from what I've seen nowadays, gamers want GUNS, and a variety too - Spyro's basically permanently equipped with a short range flamethrower and a weak battering ram).
No...you're not the only one...It /is/ extremely fanboy/girlish but they 'did' ask.KeyMaster45 said:
Oh and Black and White 1. The way it was with the Black and White 2 graphics. Tada, a game that works. Because both of them had issues.
With 1 it was the poor graphics/savefiles/easily manipulatable code and Online vs mode.
With 2 it was the horribly dull story/unessissary and obnoxious toolbar/and the laughably easy method of winning the game via 'sim gameplay' (or the 'Good' alignment method)
i.e: 'Build moar and you win' was so much easier than 'tactfully position mindless soldiers around an inpenetrable fortress of doom while your population struggles to keep up the birth rate vs death rate and the opposing race is firing effing volcanoes in your face'
Cut and Paste the two together I'd say you'd get a pretty nifty PC game.
