Games you'd love to see another entry for...but probably won't

[Evonisia]

Remember Me, easily. Yeah the first game, while my GOTY 2013 (though it wasn't the best quality game I played), sold so badly that last time I checked a few months ago there weren't even any sales figures for it.

It's a damn shame, too. Remember Me had a gorgeous world and Nilin can't be wasted like this, especially in a world where everyone was salivating over the inconsistent, unlike able Elizabeth.

Warcraft 4: I enjoyed the fast-paced gameplay in the previous RTS games as well as the story, especially in Warcraft 3. It turned an otherwise stereotypical fantasy world into something more interesting with changes of narrative viewpoint. I dislike the storytelling in WoW but, admittedly, it's the only incentive I have to play the game. Even then, the developers consider storytelling second to gameplay and it shows. This is bad when even the gameplay isn't that good.

What's worse is that they let Metzen write and he's fully admitted to abiding by the "Rule of Cool". If it sounds cool, he'll implement it even if he has to retcon or create new, lore breaking stories to do it.

pokemon snap 2
under rated sleeper hit I want a DS pokemon snap

overlord
it was a great pair of games (plus a crappy handheld one) I want to see more of its devilisouly good humor

cubivore
a one off artsy food chain game but it was great I want more (at least I have tokyo jungle to scratch the itch with now)


Eternal Darkness
awesome game and the only Nintendo exclusive horror franchise sad it just poofed off nintendo's radar

 

[Mike Hoffman]

Mirror's Edge. I'm not counting the current version in production since they are apparently simplifying the game play to make it more accessible. I'm not against doing that all the time, but the challenge of the first game is what grabbed me.

Also, the Bioware games mentioned previously.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.

Such a waste of an amazing setting to only have one game for it. One of the few good steampunk games out there regardless, not to mention the cool mix with magic. And who doesn't want to play a lumbering half-ogre with a top hat who deploys steampunk spider drones into combat? Yeap, I want a new game in that series.

Bulletstorm: It was dumb as hell, but it didn't pretend to be anything else. I had a blast with the gameplay. I even kinda enjoyed the story, thanks to the aforementioned dumb factor. Sadly, I seem to remember that it didn't do so great financially.

Not to mention it had one of the most gorgeous post-apocalypse environments ever made.

Half-Life 3- Does anyone need to say more about this one?

There's no question about that arriving though, even though the Half Life series is getting more and more a historical series instead of a relevant one.

Mirror's Edge. I'm not counting the current version in production since they are apparently simplifying the game play to make it more accessible. I'm not against doing that all the time, but the challenge of the first game is what grabbed me.

Waitwhat? How are they managing that? The first was already a marvel of streamlined, simple-yet-effective design. You run and climb stuff, deliver the odd kick or shoot the odd gun, that's all there is to it. How could they simplify that.

pokemon snap 2

It'd work brilliantly on the WiiU too.

Advance Wars (continuing the Days of Ruin storyline)

how? how can you like DoR? im as big of a fan of AW as the next guy, but that game, it was, easily the worst of the bunch

theres some good to be found, the classic AW gameplay is still fun, and the balance changes, new units as well and the new leveling up mechanic are all great, however, the CO mechanics are very disappointing and everything regarding the campaign is terrible, the story is terrible, the missions are mostly boring, the campaign itself is very linear, compared to previous installments that allowed you to tackle different missions in different order and sometimes use different COs to tackle the same mission, also the characters are all cliches or boring

also gone are the detailed and colorful graphics of the previous games, the new graphics not only come in just 2 flavors, gray and brown, but also the game overall looks worse than even AW2, and that game came out for the GBA, the battle scenes are laughable, it looks like to photos shooting at each other

the game overall was VERY disappointing

Subjectivity FTW.

Everything you just said, I would have said about the first AW. I liked most of DoR's characters and approve of the effort to negate the power creep of CO abilities throughout the previous iterations. It might have been made before the 'grittiness' overload some folks have felt in the past few years, but a game made specifically about war I'd prefer to have a bit of emotional gravity to it.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Mercenaries. Someone get the rights to this series and put a big building with an EA sign on the front in the game so I can drop airstrikes on the ones who killed this series and studio.

Timesplitters god damn it. Crytek stop having the former free radical guys faff about with games like Homefront and give me flamethrower wielding monkeys fighting snowmen.

i can understand you prefering the gritty setting, touch it sucked in pretty much every aspect

but you cant seriously say the game looks better than previous games in the series, that simply isnt the case

the battle scenes are laughably static

remember how in the old games the attacking unit would drive to the battle screen before firing? doesnt happen here
remember how in the old games units would raise their weapons to attack air units or lower then to attack ground units? doesnt happen here
remember how the old games had 4 different factions each with distinct units? thats not present here

i agree the old COs mightve been somewhat overpowered, and by dual strike they had clearly ran out of ideas for new COs

also honestly, i couldnt give any less of a shit about grittyness, gritty dark war games are not in shortage, they have never been in shortage and will not be in shortage for the foreseeable future, a game that treated war in such light hearted way, even to the point of silliness, is truthly unique

 

[DishonoredElderSouls]

All I ask for are:

A shiny, brand-new Destroy All Humans game, with Nordic Games hopefully picking up old Pandemic developers and regaining the original voice actors.

Another Obsidian-developed Fallout game, complete with the numerous quest branches, all-encompassing skill uses, abundance of loot, and great characters.

A Dead Space game that returns to the fashion of the first two installments. No shared ammo, no save-the-world story, and a lot less swearing/gun-lovin'. These were my problems with Dead Space 3, especially how they disrespect the awesome character of Isaac by turning him into one of the dumbest space marine protagonists around.

A new Team Ico game (Heaven knows)

Another Sucker Punch-developed Sly Cooper game, or any new game by Sucker Punch. Seriously, the new Sly game is a joke and inFamous is cool, but nowhere near the greatness Sucker Punch could achieve in other endeavors.

 

[lord canti]

I would love to see another Condemned game. I enjoyed the hell out of the first 2 and would love a new one. I'm also really psyched for the new Shadowgate game.

 

[Moonmover]

I want more mech games. Big, stompy robots. I can't think of any games in the genre from the 360/PS3/Wii era, and that makes me sad. Hopefully Titanfall's financial success will help this happen, even if that game didn't impress me.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

I'd like to see another Breath of Fire for a console. But then again, Capcom.....

I'd like to see another Mega Man game. But then again, Crapcom.....

I'd like to see another Devil May Cry that isn't done by Ninja Theory. But then again, Shitcom.....

I think y'all know where I'm going with this.

There's so many different directions they couldve went when making new COs. A CO that can make his/her units go through enemy units. A CO that can move after attacking. I could go on. Oh well, I hope they get more creative.

I think Intelligent Systems said that they weren't going to give up Advance Wars.
However people may just demand more Fire Emblem DLCs over Advance Wars.


Baten Kaitos was two RPG games for the Gamecube made by Monolith. Both had good stories, a unique combat system, and a lovely aesthetic. I hope they make another one, but the games aren't exactly famous.


A game in the vein of Megaman Battle Network would be nice, I love the card based system.

 

[TristanBelmont]

A few of mine are:
Rage: I'll honestly never understand why Rage didn't catch on a lot more. The game wasn't flawless, but I thought it had awesome gunplay, phenomenal graphics and sound, and a really interesting setting that I really wanted to see developed further.

Half-life 3: Yeah I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Rage is actually getting a sequel, but I imagine id is focusing more on Doom 4 (Which is also coming) before working on Rage 2....
And as for Half-Life 3? Yeah, Valve gets my respect again when they just admit it will never exist.

theres this indie game with a battle system very similar to magaman battle network, id tell you to keep an eye out for it, but i cant for the love of god remember what the name of the game was



all this war talk reminds me, what happened to battalion wars? never tried the games but they always caught my attention

 

[Lupine]

Legend of Dragoon: I'm not ashamed to say that I loved this game. It was good old fashioned RPG fun, with a interesting take on conventional turn based combat with the timing button presses to extend your combos. Also the concept of Dragoons was just awesome. Being able to transform into a powerful Dragon Knight at any time in combat was fun and surprisingly strategic, even more so when you could just use your transformation to increase the power of normal attacks and magics or go all in for ultimate style super attacks.

While I loved the characters, I would even be willing to do a spiritual successor. Just using the concept of Dragoons.

Darkstalkers: I wants another one. Period.


Devil May Cry: While I didn't hate DMC, I'd be all for going back to classic Dante and doing something awesome with him. Heck we don't even need to use Dante if Capcom is really that dead set on updating the series. We could just have a game set in the Devil May Cry Universe and it could be pretty interesting if we decided to use Sparda as the main character.

Don't make fun of my Metzen! You can't keep him away from me! He's my walking hype injector.

But no seriously, while I agree with the guy needing to be on the backseat story-wise sometime, he's been writing for the series since like... -looks it up- a long time ago (WC2ToD). He's not the reason for the story taking weird turns, it's mostly the format the story has to work with. Not a lot you can do while being an MMO without having to comply with game mechanics. Guy also knows how to introduce an xpac.

Besides, he's one cool dude.

Dude

Spoiler

 

[Diddy_Mao]

Even if it's not a direct sequel I'd really like to see someone revisit Mark of Kri (Yes I know about Rise of the Kasai)
That game had such a fun feel and look to it and I think it deserves another shot.

 

[Headsprouter]

Dark Chronicle. Who knows where it'd go, though.

Technically we're getting another Timesplitters title...unofficial as it is. I just want it to be good. And if it gains popularity maybe we'll get a HD remake.

And Timesplitters 4, but that's the biggest maybe. But if it makes it as far as the remakes I'll be jumping off the walls.
