What game series(s?) should make a comeback?

[drisky]

Shawdowrun, there is a lot of potential in the franchise that hasn't been properly utilized in video games.

At least not since the Genesis. Good lord I loved that game. I still think it's the best tabletop -> videogame translation.

I honestly preferred the snes one, except it was a point and click adventure game with out mouse controls so it was wonky, but with the recent rise in RPG's, shadowrun seemed like a missed opportunity, the 360 game was awful and it is time for another good game from it.

I don't mean to imply the snes game was less than awesome, but I was huge into the tabletop game at the time they came out making the genesis version much more to my liking.

I'm agreeable to the idea of a new shadowrun game all around though. I'd personally like to see a game that takes place just before / during / and after the Ghost Dance.

I demand maor Jet Grinf Radio.

 

[Hollock]

well they should finish making this

Spoiler

Tribes Arial assault should come back, exactly as it was. Just on Xbox 360, ps3. That was a good game.

 

[mik hardcore]

Whatever happened to Psi Ops? That game had such potential and a cliffhanger ending!

 

[Lordmarkus]

Quake. A Quake game developed by Id Software instead of some puppet studio.

Quake 3 with Id Tech 5... Yummy

 

[TheRocketeer]

I'd say Silent Hill, but at this point I can't help but think there would be more humanity in letting it rest once and for ever.

Perfect Dark. I know it had a shot with PD:Zero when the 360 first came out, but that was a dismal failure by any standard. Still, I loved the N64 one so much I'd go ape if they announced another entry. Or even just a remake.

they are releasing the original on XBLA

I'm so looking forward to this. I still have the N64 cartridge but whenever I go back and play it I just can't stand the controls anymore. The xbla version will have decent controls, online multiplayer and I think I heard polished graphics? If so I hope they just clean it up a bit and not change stuff too much.
Though I'm not eager to get on xbox live and get camped by a 10 year old with the farsight gun.

X-com. Oh wait, it has so many spiritual successors, open-source remakes and whatnot, that it's never actually gone down.

Yeah but ... 'spiritual successor' is another word for clone. 'Open-source' means buggy & wont run on anything with a chip made in the last 10 years & theres plenty of room left for X-Coms mechanics.

Simply merging Apocalypse, Enemy Unknown, TFTD & Intercpetor gives you a triple A title that would interest everyone. Thats ignoring the fact base building despite being the most awesome part of the game was kind of secondary. Give my office manager stats

No seriously. Theres still a FPS in there Exterminators fun but meh.

Mmmm multiplayer X-Com. Think SWAT 3 with Chryssalids .

You there!! I challenge you to UFO2000!

 

[TPiddy]

Primal Rage and Twisted Metal!

Twisted Metal, hell yeah. Vehicular combat is one of the more under-rated game genres.

Yeah, the best we've seen this generation is Full Auto, and it was average at best!

 

[Lucifron]

Fallout deserves to be resurrected tbh.

 

[peel15]

Tiny Tank the cute killing machine!

 

[Whoolpurse]

Mass Effect! Wait..

Um, I don't know really, The mission impossible games.

 

[NicolasMarinus]

Space Quest! Good old Roger Wilco, space janitor extraordinaire.

 

[soulasylum85]

PARASITE EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LWS666]

Hitman

they've probably died by now and if they do do something it'll be shit.

 

[C_sector]

Age Of Mythology 2 + an expansion of some sort would be cool.

 

[elcamino41383]

Rock and Roll Racing anyone?
