agreed, sequel, not a reboot. so much potential, as long as it's not a fan-made sequel.Ubermetalhed said:A remake? No way. Give us System Shock 3.Moagim said:System Shock 2 remake.
Updated visuals and AI, and that's it. Everything else remains unchanged. Result would be a perfect game.
I miss SHODAN
Irrational are wasting their time with the Bioshock series.
What game would you make a sequel/reboot to?

Bust A Groove. It's what got me into music games and I still consider it one of the finest. It had actual CHARACTERS with DIFFERENCES and a degree of actual CONTROL over the on-screen action on top of fantastic presentation and a great soundtrack!
However it always had ONE major flaw: You input the Dance Command on the first 3 beats and then hit the enter key on the 4th, but you don't need any sort of TIMING for the dance command. Let's fix that.
How? Well we make a note chart denoting where all the beats and notes in a song are and HIDE IT. NEVER show this note chart EVER. Now, when you input your dance command, if an input happens to line up with one of the notes on the hidden chart you get bonus points. The more you can line up, the better. HOWEVER! Nailing the notes is NOT required! Why? Because it would be all too possible for you to get a dance command that is too big and not enough notes to do it in on top of the fact that REQUIRING you to hit the notes would be too damn mean. You're already getting bonus points for hitting those notes, so you WANT to AIM for them anyway.
This completely changes the paradigm of music games, relying on musical skill and rythm more than lightning fast button inputs.
As an extra twist I'd bring back and manual branching dance trees of Bust A Groove 1, but rather than just letting players pick freely, high scoring moves cost "Momentum". You'd have a Momentum meter at the bottom of the screen. Some moves would give you few points but lots of momentum while others would be high scoring but COST momentum. Also nailing those notes gets you momentum as well. Oh and yes the branches wouldn't even show up if you don't have the momentum to pull it off and I WOULD like there to be up to 3 different dance moves you can do via the branching dance tree (as opposed to 2 in BAG1).
Wanna really up the ante? Custom characters. Let me make my own character and dance them against the Bust A Groove crew, learning their moves and allowing me to customize my dance tree adding a degree of deck building strategy to my music game.
...
...admittedly I don't think anyone besides myself would actually buy this game and lord knows it's too damn complex for most reviewers to understand. It's amazing how much music games have devolved since the good old days.
So ALTERNATELY I'd also accept just calling up Namco and having them make a We Cheer 3 only remove the Cheerleading theme and make it a straight dancing game. It's about the next best thing really. (No seriously. We Cheer 2 is awesome!)

Well the existing one is on Wii but the motion detection middleware they use (AiLive) has been ported to Move and Dance Masters shows that similar gameplay is doable on Kinect as well so they should just put it on all 3 (one of the few times that's actually POSSIBLE considering the differences between them).CulixCupric said:
Shoot at this point I'd just take a We Cheer Perfect Collection for Kinect and Move since We Cheer 1 honestly had the better soundtrack but We Cheer 2 was more polished. I'm talking about THIS game by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KISNiPKFb3M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0NSbBMsYf8 Seriously, ya' make the best motion controlled music game and then just let it fall by the wayside? Using it's base to make bland exercise games (Exerbeat) and mini-games (Go Vacation's dancing game)?! No! Namco you've gotta strike back against Just Dance and losing the Cheerleader theme (and thus not scaring away half your customers) is the first step!
If I could choose to reboot any franchise, I would reboot the living shit out of Ghouls n' Goblins. I would turn it into a legit survival horror game set in a medieval world. Knights vs zombies vs demons (not vs. controls as was the case with every other ghouls n goblins game >_>)
Tales of Vesperia- I would love to see a well made sequel to this game. Its tied right now with Fallout: New Vegas for my favorite RPG ever.
Star Wars Battlefront 3.
It could have bigger battles, better graphics, better AI, more maps, and DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIROMENTS!

It was indeed a stab at Black Mesa, seems like they're so determined to make the game as true to Valve as possible they're taking decades releasing it...ShakerSilver said:

A true sequel to KoTOR and KoTOR2, not one that forces me to run an MMO on my laptop with a monthly subscription I'd have to justify to my mother and defend from my father (I'm only 15, btw). I mean DA:O and DA 2 are kinda spiritual sequels, well, not really, but its all for naught if I cant spam force lightening down an enemy
As previously stated Vampire bloodlines the masquerade.
a game with so much potential and some fantastic ideas cut short due to exec pressure.
also a better Sims castaway

I want to remake Star Wars Battlefront 2, I'd make it exactly the same, only higher res and better online support. I wouldn't change a thing to the gameplay, but I might add a map or game mode.
I guess I could make a sequel, but it could never be as good. Though if I could reassemble Pandemic I wouldn't hesitate.

Have you ever checked the forum [http://forums.blackmesasource.com/] out? They mentioned several times that they are in the final stages of development. I think they also stated that the soundtrack went gold.TerribleAssassin said:
I'd make another Wanted game.
First step would be to make a single-player campaign that isn't 3 hours long, work on the Ai and cover system and maybe add in some Timesplitters-esque challenge modes as well to play after you've played through the story. Second would be to add multiplayer, maybe even have it so you can customize your guns (like how most of the characters in the movies had really awesome, signature guns) and character (Maybe go even so far as to customize your bullets). I think the multiplayer would almost be like Brink, but in third-person and not a pile of crap.

Gladius would get a sequel on Wii U, 360, and PS3, as well as PC this time. Would play like the first one, the only difference I would make would be that equipment would be horizontally rather than vertically scaled.CulixCupric said:
RCT4 would get more customization, more realism, less cartoon-like, while still being fun and entertaining. PC, Wii, and DS.
Tabula Rasa was not the same game when it was shut down as when it launched, but I think bringing it back with minor upgrades would be a mistake, so a full-fledged reboot is in order. If it were developed and launched by ArenaNet and treated like Guild Wars with purchase-only payment, huge focus on story, etc then I think it would have great success.
Star Wars: Republic Commando 2 or Star Wars: Battlefront 3.
I've wanted them for so long, but no dice.
