Arx Fatalis with the id tech 5 engine would be godly... also, slightly more competent voice actors.
Duke Nukeem! Oh wait. Maybe not!
In all seriousness though I would love to see a new Warcraft. However I doubt it will happen due to the MMORPG uses up the majority of the fresh lore. However there are several events that are happening in the game now I would love to play RTS style.
Chapter on the war in Mount Hygal? between the elements and the druids anyone?
Chapter about the war against Wildhammer clan fighting Dragonmaw with some interventions from the Twilight Hammer?
Even a chapter about the battle for Tol Barad.

They decided to stop doing Twitter updates and official media releases because every time they did, some jackasses would use some sort of magic formula to figure out 'when are balck meas gonna be released?'lovestomooch said:
They are still posting regularly on the forums, and Raminator recently promised to Paypal some guy 50 bucks if it wasn't released before 2013.
off-topic: How do you expect me to type superscript, reCaptcha?
I think the big question is necessity: will remaking the game improve it?Souplex said:
If not, don't.
For example, System Shock 2. Graphically, it's inferior. There's no real physics engine.
But would improving the graphics or adding a realistic physics engine improve the game? No. It's not about physics or cutting-edge graphics. It's about the story, the setting, the mood, the tension, and the action.
System Shock 1, on the other hand... could probably benefit from a better engine...
Yes, I know. Actor Tony Jay, god bless his soul, was a magnificent talent that was taken from us far too soon. Even still, and bearing in mind a missing writer, this confusing tale of time and vampiric wars needs a decisive ending. So happens I think Defiance was a damn great game, and so it needs an equally-great finisher.metal eslaved said:
The REmake wasn't bad, and I never played the MGS one but I'm inclined to condemn remakes anyway.
1. Developers need to get new material.
2. If the original was good, don't water it down with a remake.
It doesn't 'honor the original', it just creates an inane cycle where we can keep harvesting money every 5 years or whatever arbitrary timeline the producers decide on. How often is the general consensus that a remake is better than the original?
The game I always come back to when I think of this is SH1. When I played it a month or so after release the graphics were crispy clean, cutting edge stuff. Now people claim they can't be frightened due to the inferior visuals. Elitist bast... (mutter mutter). Anyway, I still think it's better off as a one of. With a remake you have to specify every time which one you're talking about, and the developers usually decide to take little liberties with the material or add bonus content to skew your opinions.

wow, i thought i was the only person on the planet who even know that games exists... and hell fucking yes.whiteblood said:
I'll add the this list the game Strife. it was an extremely underrated game that used a modified (to the max) version of Doom's game engine and was one of the first open world (almost-ish) games ever.
