Game Franchises that need reseurrection:

[TheMightyFavog]

'Mechwarrior. (Unfortunatley those asshats at Harmony Gold have pulled their usual bullshit over the "unseen" 'Mechs AGAIN, thus kicking the planned resurrection squarely in the pills.)

Starflight (EA Still owns the rights to these games. Guys, Just give it to BioWare, and watch them crank out a game that will outsell Mass Effect.)

Wing Commander (Please? You could make this work with consoles.)

Star Control

Space Quest

Anything else I'm missing?

1. Sports Car GT,

So that I can drive this on a real racecourse like Road Atlanta,Lime Rock,Donnington Short,Daytona Road Course,Lugna Seca,Mid Ohio,Riverside,Le Mans (60's Le Mans Please)

Nothing like this Beast being Heel and Toe Downshifted going into the "Corkscrew"



This was made in '99 for SCGT by a friend of mine.

Truly a Blast!

9. May I suggest Forza Motorsoprt 3?

Hundreds of cars from little European hatchbacks, to Japanese drift machines, to classic Detroit Iron, to ALMS and endurance racers (Plus the ability to make custom paint jobs) and great tracks like Road Atanta, the Nuerburgring (Both the old and new courses), Road America, Laguna Seca, If you are on XBOX Live, you can can even download the test track from Top Gear if you have the ultimate edition!

12. I can't use a gamebox...

The controller that I want is PC only...



"The Cup model is our biggest seller due to the popularity of stock car racing. It comes with a 13" or optional 15" diameter steering wheel, which is best suited to oval racing. This provides finer control than a smaller diameter wheel, and provides a sense of realism for stock car simulation, but it's still not too big for the desktop.

The Cup model also incorporates the high grade ETI Potentiometers which last 2 to 3 times longer than the DK pots on average.

USB/PC Only.

2. Wasteland.

Screw Fallout and its first person shooter crap.

Give me a straight up turn based, party based, RPG.

Update the game engine used for the later Wizardry games. It would work really well for a game like Wasteland.

[Ohio Joe]

3. I would love for Brian Reynolds to do an update to Alpha Centuari

My wet dream would be for him to do a Rise of Nations style conversion of it to RTS.

4. Duke Nukem

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem

I'll believe it when I see it.

Their face, their ass, what's the difference?

[Ohio Joe]

5. I think Duke is real now that 2K has taken over

Actual people have played it. 3D realms really blew it with Duke but 2K I think is a much more reliable company and I hope will do it justice.

15. I used to joke that Duke Nukem would come out the same time as Chinese Democracy.

Yeah that Guns N Roses album, which turned out to, um, SUCK!!!!

But that's a reality, and now Duke Nukem is apparently a reality. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

6. Was going to mention Thief... But it looks like it is back...

[cemaphonic]

7. Hopefully better than the last one

(although the shalebridge cradle mission made up for an awful lot of suck)

[Glassunion]

8. That level scared the shit out of me.

I'm a grown man. Shameful.

[dawg]

10. MYST

I loved that game. Except for that insufferable maze-runner.

[Glassunion]

11. Ever play the parody PYST?

[Riftaxe]

13. Freelancer

[Hayabusa]

14. Some of my favorites

I second MechWarrior.

I add

X-Wing/TIE Fighter
Baldur's Gate
Dark Forces Saga
More AKI wrestling games like WCW/NWO Revenge and WWF No Mercy
Warcraft RTS

16. Tex Murphy - I played the hell out of those games.
