Games you wish they continued.

I'm impressed, 4th page.

Seems like there's a lot of people around wishing for remakes of oldies that made an impact on their gaming lives.

I was fiddling around youtube looking at some of these older games and intros.

Ohh and one more on my wishlist even if it's cheesy...

What ever happened to Blake Stone?

Ey guys, all of you talking about Duke Nukem Forever. I actually don't know if you are joking or you really don't know about it anymore. It IS going to be released and probably in H1 2009. 3DRealms said they wouldn't release anything about the game until 6-9 months prior to release. Well here's a teaser and a pair of screenshots so...

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUN7mHUtzno

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/dukenukemforever/images.html - The last two.

The release date is still "When it's done" though, as always since they started from scratch again.

Sure it is. I once followed a game called: Unknown: The quest for the Golden Dragon. http://rpgvaultarchive.ign.com/archive/19990207.shtml

It was supposed to be like Guild wars. Completely free to play MMO with Morrowind like graphics and gameplay. I was even signed up to be a beta tester on it. I followed it for 3 or so years and in those three years, the beta testing was next week. It eventually went to the crapper and Kevin Ross vanished off the face of the planet.

The point here is that with constant delays, you usually never see the end product.

This incarnation of the game has never been delayed and you can not compare those developers to 3DRealms. I don't want this to become a discussion, DNF IS going to be released soon.

i second that, people gave that game such bad reviews, but i had a lot of fun with it
and the plot was pretty cool

zithe · Nov 10, 2008

The Katamari series is supposedly done.

DarkMatter · Nov 10, 2008

I forgot to say Commandos. :banghead:

IMO best strategy game series ever.

Oh and Tzar. God that game was fun, we spent hours at CAD classes playing that game. What most others needed a complete hour modeling, only used to take me 5 mins and we soent the rest of the time playing Tzar 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3. HAHA, those were good times.

JC316 · Nov 10, 2008

Just thought of a couple more. The Punisher and Riddick. I would love to see more of the gratuitous violence that made them great

das müffin mann · Nov 10, 2008

JC i love you for mentioning riddick

Hell yeah, a major sleeper hit. Overshadowed by Doom 3, but still EXCELLENT and worthy of a sequel.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Nov 10, 2008

Super Mario Bros 4?

New Super Mario Bros on the nintendo DS, which is another one that they had better damn well make a sequel to.

DarkMatter · Nov 10, 2008

I would like to see another Riddick game too. Even though was good, I didn't like too much the first one, but I love the franchise. Even though it's in its infancy and isn't very "focused" (to say it somehow), I just love the character and see a lot of potential and there's a lot left to be known about the Furyans. A game happening when the Furyan planet was slaughtered would be cool, but I'd love anything Riddick.

Half-Life: Riddick. I'm in.
Call of riddick. I'm in.
Riddick Tournament. Hell yeah!

Riddick and the chocolate factory... In. :laugh:

On a more serious note. I would also like to see a new flight sim made by DID (EF2000, F22: ADF and Total Air War).

Yer that was good...its just a shame it was never popular .

...because it came in at the wrong time, at a time when SoF was doing well, with far superior idTech3 engine. CZ: DS was left with the dated HL(quake) engine which had sorry graphics and crap physics (the gameplay relied on physics), though the concept of single-player CT vs. hordes of terrorists campaigns was nice.

phanbuey · Nov 10, 2008

full throttle... the best RPG concept... ever.

There is a Punisher game being released on the Playstation Network, and Riddick is getting a remake called "Assault on Dark Athena"

B1gg3stN00b · Nov 10, 2008

Shadows of the Colossus

TrainingDummy · Nov 10, 2008

I'd love to see a sequel to The Darkness, and another Star Wars Battlefront

Polaris573 · Nov 10, 2008

I would like to see a new Freespace game too. It seems there isn't much of a market for arcade-style space sims though.

MOAR FPS, RPG, RTS! Seems to be the line of thought by the developers and many gamers.

Aaargh! I didn't saw that game on your first post. I'm glad I'm not the only one that liked that game. Most people I talked to about it thought it was crap.

Thanks bt and pinchy, I feel much better now. It's been something I had left inside for too long...

Yeah, technically was a pain, one more reason for the need for a sequel, now with a decent budget to begin with.

TrainingDummy said:

Yeah I saw that when doing some searching about Riddick, but dunno, I think it's too early for a remake, and there's a lot to tell IMO before retelling the same thing. IMO remakes are better left for older games like Doom, Wolfenstein... <-- No coincidence that both had their remake. There are a lot more out thre waiting.

das müffin mann · Nov 10, 2008

i would love to see another NON mmo star wars KOTOR
maybe something to do with the mandalorian wars
or following where revan ran off to...

also a battlefront sequel would be awesome, but i would want it to be more like the first one

phanbuey · Nov 10, 2008

Oh also hexen 2 (not 3 - that sucked)... i think i was a bit too old school with the full throttle

Darkmind · Nov 10, 2008

Streets of Rage
Another purely side-scrolling sonic the hedgehog game for a console with the older kind of look of sonic (that doesn't suck). All side-scrolling, but 3D graphics
Another Simcity game (like 3000 or 4000, not like societies)
Remakes of Warcraft 1 and 2
SW: Rogue Squadron
SW: New jedi knight game
Remake of Goldeneye
Ocarina of Time remake

Mainly remakes. I could never just be into WC 1 and 2 though because the graphics just suck too bad for me to get into it. I've never played them before, and I want to for lore purposes. Goldeneye and OOT were my top games back then.

OOH i got one... a PONG remake

OzzmanFloyd120 · Nov 10, 2008

Agreed, pretty much any side-scrolling platformer should be continued... alot like Mega-Man 9
