Dead game series you'd like to see come back.

[hazys]

Well to be fair Japan puts out new Wizardry games all the time. Hell they just released a new Wizardry gacha. But we certainly won't see another Sir-Tech Wizardry.

 

[Crashbandi]

Yesterday I would have said Perfect Dark, but I found out it's being rebooted let's go! So now I'm gonna say Parasite Eve, the failure that was 3rd birthday it deserves either a proper sequel or even a reboot itself.

And of course Suikoden

 

[dropsmegamega]

Rayman.

 

[tigg]

Shadow Hearts
Phantasy Star ( not the online game series)

 

[Yousef]

Dead rising
Dead souls
Death stranding
Dying light
House of the dead
Dead space
Red dead redemption
Left 4 dead
Dead or alive
Dead to rights
Walking dead
Dead island

[Pokenami]

[PhrawzT]

Powerstone
Katamari Damacy
Final Fantasy Tactics
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

I want a new Katamari game as there hasn't been once since 2011 (the mobile games don't count). I don't care about the remakes as I already own all the originals.

 

[Lee__Kanker]

If its gonna be remade into triple a crap like silent hill I dont want anything to come back

 

[NoctemDead]

Dark Cloud
King's Field/Shadow Tower (I'll take either or both but think Shadow Tower has more potential)


Greatly hoping that the return of Silent Hill (2 Remake was a good start) and VtM: Bloodlines are true to form and revitalize those series

Of course Warioland 5...

You could rename the thread to "Forgotten IPs from Sega, Capcom & Konami" & basically all the answers would still fit, with a bit of Bandai Namco on the side. And whatever I would add would fall also fall into one of these groups.

But Hey! At least we're getting a new Okami!

Mediocre? I've found 7/XX to be nice (especially as a handheld entry). Not on the same level as 6 but I'll be honest I got tired of aliens (either the Marsians or the Venusians) and the future soldiers were a neat twist on the Rebel army.

I'd still rate it above 4 all day.

Klonoa 3 would be great but could it surpass 2? Wario Land 5 was Shake It but I agree about getting a new one.

If you wanna compare it to advance sure, but its called *7* and *XX*, X is the best one alongside 3 so I had hefty expectations
In the end I found it so forgettable, nothing to call its own meh bosses..
At least 4 had the monkey transformation, XX had nothing, even after finishing it many times it just made me wish I was playing any other MS

Post automatically merged: Jan 27, 2025

Even if its slightly worse than 2 it means it's slightly worse than amazing, its criminal how Klonoa has 8 games but no K3
Also Id just really like a new 2.5D game, actual 2.5D where it uses the fact its in 3d and its like you're moving across a diorama

Yeah 5 was shake it but to me it felt like a spin off

I forgot about 4's transfo but this felt a bit anticlimatic after 3's ending.

Anyway I deeply regret how 5 got rushed and unfinished because the Ptolemaic army had a great potential and the story felt darker as well as being the tail end of the timeline.

XX was a name to make a nod to X but it was 7 bis like X being 2 bis. I do wish we got more levels in XX.

I'd take anything as long as the gameplay and story are good.

I'm genuinely surprised we didn't see a PSP or DS entry in the style of the first two GBA games and the Wonderswan one.

3D Klonoa would require a full rework of the air bullet imo. Rayman and Kirby managed so Klonoa could but I think this would feel too different and people would prefer something like the first two.

Yeah 5 was shake it but to me it felt like a spin off.

Like Master of Disguise? Anyway, I wish they made the VB one available.

Warioland and Warioware coexisted so there's no reasons they couldn't still have more games in both way.

i'm so glad i don't have to write tokyo xtreme racer lmao

4 is terrible compared to the first 3; everything was recycled, bland levels, bland final boss.. my point was that at least it had one memorable thing about it unlike 7 and XX

I guess by the time the psp came around Namco gave up on klonoa? It would've been a perfect fit ...

No I mean 2.5D like 1 and 2, you move in 4 direction but the map moves around, it was awhole genre on the ps1 but then it just died for some reason, I never understood that; I dont want a 3d klonoa

Yeah, although unlike Master of Disguise I liked it

I think much like star fox and f zero they just don't want to make a new one for whatever reason. I dont get it.
The "we dont wanna do iterative sequel" excuse is bs with all the bland new super mario bros sequels, sport game spin offs and mario partys (and star fox zero being a pseudo remake)
They could easily hand it to another studio like they did with metroid, but for whatver reason they just wanna sit on it I guess

 

[dr grim]

Unreal ( tournament )
Command and conquer
Killzone
Wipeout
Micro machines

I think that sadly the "innovation" excuse was also because Miyamoto wants to create something new each time (like with Pikmin) but does not always know how to improve an already established formula.

See how every Starfox games after 64 are not made by Nintendo and that F-zero GX which was fundamentally like X was made by Amusement Vision instead of EAD.

Mario being the flagship franchise next to Zelda allowed more games with less changes whereas a niche like the others would have them take more time for the formula.

Yeah! So why can't they just handle it to Wayforward or something? Warioland especially doesnt have to be a big expensive gamble, so I really dont get it


Oh! I Would love another Quake in the style of 1 and Blood 3 which again should be in the same style as 1...
It can be 3d I just want the atmosphere and big detailed maps back

 

[Ikagura]

Wasn't WL Shake it from them?

I'd take any competent dev (but then again Platinum did StarFox Zero).

Quake 1 is cool yeah. Unfortunately id Software and Bethesda think that Quake = "Must be a multiplayer Online Arena FPS only" despite that Quake II and 4 also exist.


I feel that Blood 2 killed the franchise (like how we won't ever see a Duke 5).

Was it? I think it was Good Feel...yeah it was good feel

I think nintendo's over forcing gimmicks when it hurts the game? They sure came close to doing that for mario odissey..

And if quake is gonna be anything like wolfenstein the new colossus...

I'm being a bit hyperbolic theres stuff about it I liked but also stuff that made me shake my head in disappointment

Spoiler: it's better if you dont know

did I really need to see an obese broad moan like a siren as she gets pounded?

 

[MasterEn]

darkstalkers needs to come back. characters based off of old movie monsters with anime art style and dragon ball kinds of fights. it would make a lot of money and gain a lot of popularity in the right hands.
