Hey there,
I'm just curious about games that people want modern day sequels to. The older games more than recent games as saying "I want a sequel to Unreal Tournament 3" is just showing what a moron you are.
And I'm hoping to remember some good old games.
So list some games, give some reasons, try to educate your GoG brothers (and female brothers) about some great classics.
Anyway to kick things off:
Blood
I LOVED Blood. The protagonist, the one-liners, Flare gun. You name it, it had it all. A modern technology version would be great. Blood 2 was a tad mediocre. However I think that if this was done it would be more F.E.A.R. and less Duke Nukem. Blood was not a balls to the wall horror. It was a light-hearted gore-fest. With a Voodoo doll.
Skyrealms of Jorune: Alien Logic
I REALLY loved this game. No sequel was made however. I enjoyed the light "RPG" elements with spell choosing, growing little digging things from giant florescent eggs and talking to ... weird things. It also had an interesting universe.
Dungeon Keeper
First was great. Second was better (Flame on!!). Third could have been something else. Evil Genius is fun, but not the same. Nothing like having an obsequious voice with fantasic voice acting saying how evil you are and how goody-good the good guys are.
Requiem: Avenging Angel
I vaguely recall liking this, but I've not been able to play it for some time due to not having DX6. But was a good diea, cool powers, and I don't think too many games at the time had a sorta "Hub" area to wander around in between righteous arse kicking.
Crusader: No Remorse/Regret/Sequel
This was carnage at it's best. No story, no plan, no mercy. No remorse or regret either for that matter. I've NEVER got this working on XP
I've tried Shadowgrounds and it's not bad, but is more akin to Diablo (sorta) than crusader.
Syndicate
Awesome-ness. Syndicate Wars was a bit dumb, but the original is still fun to play and the Atlantic Accelerator is still possibly the hardest level in any game, ever. Or I'm just crap at it.
Star Control 2 and StarFlight 2
I've grouped these together as are similar games. And I've listed that I want good sequels to these sequels as Star Control 2 already has a sequel which is kinda crap. But more games to this vein would be awesome.
I'm sure I could think of more if I put my mind to it, but come on people. Let gaming wishes and nostalgia fly!
