Rock n Roll Racing was an awesome 2 player old school SNES title of competitive racing with combat elements and upgrade features.Kalamala7 said:
Even as a 3D remake or reboot or sequel for a two decade ago title; I think it would be epic to reintroduce such a simple yet outstanding fun game such as this was.

I'll just post a link to [a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.338078-Games-you-want-to-be-announced?page=1"]this[/a] thread and leave it at that.
Why is it that on just about every thread like this someone has to say that? There is a Fallout 3. It exists. If you won't even acknowledge its existence then you should go find everyone else that thinks the same way and make Fallout 3 the way you think it should have been made because no one else is ever going to do it.JavaJoeCoffee said:
I'd honestly just like to have an HD re-release of the first three first, buy them 1,000,000 times, and THEN ask for a 4th. That way they realize we don't want it changed too much.bahumat42 said:
Others I would want:
L.A. Noire, done right.
Metroid: Fusion (it'd be awesome playing a game where Samus is a wanted criminal)
American Nightmare is good, but I want a proper Alan Wake sequel
The Binding of Isaac
Any other games I can think of are actually get...

Star Wars: Republic Commando, sequel would be called Imperial Commando

And this. I'm seeing a pattern here... And they need to go throw money Mando's pacifists)at Travis's feet (and exile whoever made mando's pacifists) till she comes back and finishes the Imperial Commando books.TheRussian said:Star Wars: Republic Commando, sequel would be called Imperial Commando

What I'm wondering is why nobody's tried to create a mod for Van Buren. Now obviously there's the legal issues if they take elements from the leaked version, but if they do a fan recreation using their own tools and release it as a non profit mod for another game, I'd be all for it.JavaJoeCoffee said:
As for my choice: A sequel to Knights of the Old Republic 2.
Not an MMO that shits over everything the second game set up to be replaced with Galactic Empire 2.0

I would love to see a current gen Space Station Silicon Valley. Or throw back graphics + new game would be just as awesome.
But it will never happen. /buzzkill
The World Ends With You
Harry Potter: Quiditch World Cup
Okami (not Okamiden, I want a game with Amaterasu)

There are plenty of 8- and 16-bit games that were great and could do with a reincarnation of sorts.
However,
seeing as most of the game titles we get these days are silly sequels, pathetic prequels and off-putting origin stories, most of which happen to be delivered in little variations of the oh-so modern same-old, same-old rail shooting tunnel vision crapfest, we are currently quite happy going back to playing old titles, sniping old hardware from online marketplaces and building fun gaming rigs for family and friends alike. It's become damn near impossible to source certain bits and pieces, but just the common weekend effort to build a proper Street Fighter / Tekken / whatever fighting stick from near indestructible industrial parts is worth every minute and every penny.
Digging out some well-browned, unsightly C=64 or Amiga hardware and reviving it to see the kids get brain cramps from, say, the Fairy Tale Adventure is also quite rewarding and fun.
Just last year, I was defending games as being art, but, in the last couple of months of seeing what the vast majority of the gaming industry has become, I think I currently do have severe issues enjoying the art bit when there's just so damn little, you know, actual game in my games. Game titles have become as expensive to put together as, say, expensive sports cars, and the fun I get out most of these Ferraris equates less to what made me love and believe in gaming as something good, and more of just yet another form of consumable. With micro-transactions lurking in even the most innocent-looking offering for the kids and 'free' online games sucking more time out of your life than a heavy heroin addiction, I consider it to be refreshing to introduce folks around here to some really fun games that fit on, say, 500 kilobytes of chips or 880 kilobytes of floppy disk... and the fun lasts for more than just one sitting of pseudo-autistic tunnel vision.
Right now, I don't think we're amusing ourselves to death, I think we're just consuming ourselves silly, with a wealth of old 'franchises' not being ressurected, but spiked and transmogrified into something not quite as fun and nowhere near as lasting as that original bit of technically crap stuff that has impressed and influenced so many people just one or two decades ago. Most of the games we consume these days have little to go for them when it comes to making a lasting impression. I wouldn't want any more of the really old-but-good titles to be completely ruined by the current braindead behemoth of revisionist marketing.

...You're saying that Devil Survivor 2 is already out... AND I DIDN'T KNOW?! Now I'm going to rob a bank to get enough money to buy it. Or just rob Gamestop. You know, Atlus, this is why your games sell fairly poorly in America. It's not ENTIRELY cultural barriers, it's that you DON'T FUCKING ADVERTISE! Hell, the last I heard of it was back in, like, June, when I heard that they were making it!TizzytheTormentor said:
I'm still hoping for a sequel to Arcanum, and if not a direct sequel then at least a spiritual successor set in the same universe.
It's just too cool of a place to just let die. I mean, in which other game can I play a half-orc wearing a top hat who sends out robot spiders to do his bidding?

Aren't you lucky. [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/09/21/paradox-announce-cartel-interview/]tacotrainwreck said:
I'd like to see a sequel to Vanquish. The end of the game kind of leads an opening for one and I'd love to play some more fast-paced, physics defying, russian-robot-blasting with 'macross missile massacres'.
Also a Just Cause 2 with some co-op multiplayer, how great would if be to go Jet-Jousting with your mates above a large city and racing to see who can make to the ground furthest without deploying a parachute and without dying?
And a Battlefront 2 sequel which has some better online multiplayer, dragging a LAN cable around the house is too much of a pain in the ass for me.

We got screwed over when we got Nuts & Bolts instead of Banjo - Threeie. It was almost like Rare had given up or, was paid off to take a dive. Also, here's a small list of games I'd like to see return:
Adventure Island
Battle Toads
Diddy Kong/ Donkey Kong Racing
Double Dragon
Earthworm Jim
Gex
Jersey Devil
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
Ninja Gaiden (2/ 2.5D side-scrolling kind)
Resident Evil 2 & 3 remakes in the same style as the Resident Evil Gamecube remake
Rock Band Dethklok
Rock Band Japan
Smash Brothers Portable (I know, we're getting one of the 3DS but there could have been a GBA/DS one)
Star Wars Battlefront 3
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Anthology (insert Sith Lord here)
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 3
Tomba!
There are more but those are some I'd love to see modern iterations of. For a lot of them it would be great if those would remain as 2D side-scrollers and thanks to Rayman Origins that may not be such a far fetched idea. Others like Banjo-Threeie, Earthworm Jim, Gex, would probably be great as 3rd person free-roamers like Kazooie or, Mario 64. I know the Gamecube had Resident Evil 2 and 3 but, I didn't actually play those and didn't even read much about them so they could very well be remakes like Resi-1 for all I know.
