Games you would like to see resurrected

Just to be clear: I dont mean the whole Xcom fiasco, I mean what game that you cant get off the shelves unless its a lucky pre-owned game would you like to see brought back, maybe with a little graphical and audio updating, but with all of the gameplay, story, mechanics and themes left intact?

Mine would be dungeon keeper, I had fun on my old computer luring hero's into some heavily trapped hallway and then dropping a LV.10 bile demon on their heads for good measure and the voiceovers for the "Improvements" on areas were so darkly humored it was great; "There is nothing left here but a very persistent stain on the ground which your troll's are attempting to remove before we spray acid across it" lol

I tried to download it to my laptop recently and due to an accidental disconection during download only the before and after voiceovers got through along with some unusable on their own files.

So what are yours? Add as few or as many as you like

I'm afraid I whip this dead horse a little too much (I think I'm at about a 1:1 ratio with Yahtzee and Silent Hill 2), but my favorite game of all time is the oft maligned and misunderstood Chrono Cross. Given a graphical overhaul (only for the characters though, the hand drawn scenery was gorgeous), and maaaybe voiceovers (nearly every character in the game had a distinct accent), I think it'd fit in well.

It probably wouldn't sell well over here (way too colorful and blood-free for today's average gamer), but it would do a killing in Japan.

Edit: On second thought, I wouldn't resurrect a specific game, but I'd like to see forgotten gameplay elements make a comeback. I grew up loving turn based RPGs, but there are almost none being made today. Come on writers!! Work out a good story, dream up some believable characters and give me a good 'ol Final Fantasy 7-9 kind of experience again!

Haegemonia: Legions of Iron, superb space based RTS, it is in the "sold out" range, but I would love to see a revamp or a actual sequel.

I'd also like a Dynasty Tactics 3, or a Dynasty Tactics 2 that I can play on my PS3, I love that game

The correct answer to this question would be StarCraft: Ghost.

I was so pumped for that game when it was in production.

Steambot Chronicles 2. Canceled due to the earthquake, but had so much potential.

 

[BlackIvory]

I would love to see an "upgraded" version of BG2. just a graphics and sounds update, keep it in the isometric. dont DARE touch the story and gameplay mechanics, they will always be perfect.
Ooh, and maybe DIG too, that would be awesome.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Probably Phantom Crash. That game would get a huge facelift it was out for the 360.

 

[Rooster893]

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.

Hopefully Namco will get their head out of their asses and a make a 3rd... which REALLY needs to happen.

 

[MercurySteam]

Starcraft: Ghost. Get someone to actually finish it this time. It's a great concept tha will sell.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Star Control 2.

Oh yeah...it was remade. Now they call it Mass Effect for some reason...

 

[drbarno]

black & white

i'd like to see a return of the god simulator.

 

[LobsterFeng]

Even though it's relatively new, I'd like to see someone take another wack at the Mirror's Edge concept, I thought it had a lot of potential.

EDIT: Also if anyone remembers the old Dune RTS' by Westwood I would like to see those come back as well. They got amazing actors to do live action cutscenes, and because it followed the Dune universe the stories were incredible. That and Dune II is a game that is famous for establishing the beloved RTS formula that most games follow. (Build base, build troops from base.)

 

[gigastar]

Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot, before Activision ruined them.

Rayman, when and if Origins ever comes out.

 

[Aralous]

Morrowind, though it really isn't that old. I'd just like to see it with Skyrim graphics and combat mechanics.

loved phantom crash game but not S.L.A.I. it just wasnt the same the arenas felt smaller the game looked worse and frankly there too many ranks to work your way through

star control 2 was a great game as was starflight I would love to see those again mass effect 2 is great but need even more star flight/control 2 thrown in

the klonoa series is great I heard there were remakes for the wii (I dont have a wii) would love a 3rd though

yes mirrors edge Im looking forward to brink mirrors edge with some gunplay thrown in Ill enjoy that but a dedicated mirrors edge would be welcome

 

[Neverhoodian]

Tie Fighter. Modernize the graphics and update the iMUSE music system. Leave everything else intact.

I guarantee it would be a best seller.

This.

Also I woulnt mind seeing some reworked versions of Might and Magic games, or a grafical update of Baldur's Gate.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

The new Wing Commander "Trilogy" that was cancelled after it's first part Prophecy. That games were so great.
Oh and Privateer, of course Privateer.
