Franchises In Need of A Comeback

Chris Kemp takes a look at some wizened legends that were retired too early…

 

[Raven Gold]

Freelancer and Delta Force are two games I'de like to see rebooted.

 

[Jabberwocky]

star control
transport tycoon

 

[Solitude]

I agree with all the games mentioned in the article and the ones mentioned in this thread.

Another one is Master of Magic. I also want a new Ultima, even though there were tons of them.

 

[m3n4ce]

HomeWorld
Descent
MDK

SIERRA Adventure Games Most Definite, but also the old Live Video Games e.g. the Tex Murphy Range (Under a Killing Moon)! Used to love those.... maybe I should buy it from GoG

 

[Tank]

Homeworld
Descent
Battlezone (1998 version)
Starlancer
Freespace

 

[czc]

star control
transport tycoon

Have you heard of Cities in Motion?

I want them to make another Caesar, Caesar V

 

[Jabberwocky]

Have you heard of Cities in Motion?

No, but it sounds promising!

 

[Grimspoon]

Mdk!!!!!

 

[Voicy]

I would've loved to see more LucasArtsâ„¢ quest titles like the old gems.

Day of the Tentacle
Monkey Island 1-3 (4 is not worth mentioning)
Freddie Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist
Sam & Max
Grim Fandango

and of course

the Star Wars Jedi Knight series

 

[OmegaFenix]

I disagree. IPs like Baldur’s Gate, MDK and all those should remain firmly where they are, in our nostalgia filled childhood. Why not make something new, why remake something thats been done before?

 

[Deceptor]

I want a reboot of the Pharaoh series .

 

[Voicy]

They should do remastering of old titles, not script / layout remaking.

This is a remake:

 

[Crzwaco]

Baldur's gate series don't need a comeback. Its on of the top sellers on GOG just the way it is and well do you really think there will be a market for this games these day's? My brother who never really played the older games found baldur's gate so hard at the first few battles he gave up.

I would not mind Remastering of the series that would be awesome.

 

[Lupus]

Uhmm are we forgetting Dungeon Keeper? That would be awesome, I've still got my Baldurs gate discs somewhere must go digging them up. Perhaps I should also finish Monkey Island one again, 20 years is too long.

100%

I want heroes of might and magic get a reboot. A decent reboot with highly stylized 2d graphics. Drop the freaking 3d it looks shit for heroes.

Unreal needs hd remastering
Quake 1 needs hd remastering
Caesar needs hd remastering
Shadow warrior needs hd remastering
Redneck rampage needs ahd remastering
Prey needs a hd remastering.

I played duke3d with the hd mod and it was so much fun.

 

[Lupus]

I don't agree on Prey seeing it's also only 5 years old and wasn't that great.

I loved prey. It was different.

That's exactly why they should make a comeback. Gamers are being milked on weak easy-ass games that offer little to no challenge - and the default reaction to any challenging game is to give up.

As for my list -

Star Control - if only to replace the misfit that was Star Control III
Master of Orion - almost to the word the exact same reason as above - look how well the Civ franchise is still doing for itself.
UFO (XCOM) - No idea what it should be called anymore - but here they should focus on remastering the game and maybe expanding it a bit
Baldur's Gate - absolutely - they left lots of space when ending Baldur's Gate II - there's room for more story - the endless series of books based on the Forgotten Realms is enough testament to that.

Who is going to play it once they hear is so hard on normal hehe.

Baldur's gate 2 Played it 9 times till the end and only once have I beaten the last guy. Strange how it works I want to see the ending again that's why playing it now again.
