| Considering there is absolutely nothing of note for me this year on the gaming front, it made me ponder over this question. If you could make any gaming franchise get a reboot or at least a sequel, which one would it be? For me, the choice is relatively simple. There is a gap in the market for Arena FPS' that are simply for fun and not for little ragers. (I think we all know what franchise I'm thinking of on that front lol) So I think that they should either reboot or add a sequel to the Timesplitters franchise. They were some of the most fun albeit silly games I played. Future Perfect is one of the best of it's genre ever made and was full of so much content. Over 100 playable characters with their own dialogue, loads of weapons, loads of gametypes (Virus in 4 player split screen with 12 bots is hours of fun) and even the abilty to completely create your own maps for all game modes made this worth the price tag at the time. I feel that alot of games seem to miss out on the fun aspect as well as the longevity in favour of profiteering off the masses these days. A reboot of this franchise, at least in my opinion would do really well and remind people how to game for fun. How about you guys, anything you would really like to see?

| I'd love a new Timesplitters game. That game was so much fun. I still have fond memories of playing 4-player splitscreen with friends on the GameCube, blasting bots and annihilating everyone. |
| Easy. Chrono Trigger. Square Enix is already making a 15th installment in the Final Fantasy series but they only made two of the Chrono games. Which is a pity because I found Chrono Trigger fascinating. It had the basic mold of what a cast of characters in a game should be like (silent hero, smart girl, tortured soul, intelligent robot, etc), interesting game mechanics (Techs), an amazing soundtrack and a really good story. I'm still bewildered as to why Squeenix never made more games in the series. Another one would be a game set in the World of Darkness, which was the setting of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Bloodlines was a disaster on release but fan-made patches brought it back from the dead (no pun intended) and is now regarded one of the best and most underrated RPG experiences you can have. A reboot or a sequel would also bring back some dignity for vampires which have become sissified villains no thanks to Twilight and all those lame vampire shows. |

| I loved Timesplitters. I was just playing 4-way split screen Future Perfect a couple of weeks ago, and it was still just as fun as we remembered it. I really hope they make a Timesplitters 4... |
 |
| Where's my Jak & Daxter 4, Naughty Dog? You got lots of money from The Last of Us & Uncharted series to make another sequel. |
 |
| A Psychonauts and Jak sequel would be neat And Sengoku Basara cant get enough of these games |
הלב שלי כבר מת |
| Still waiting for StarTropics III, and a new official 2D Metroid game. |
 |
| As others have mentioned we so desperately need more Jak & Dexter squeals! I'd also be down with original Devil May Cry squeals or some type of continuation if they could bring their A-game. No over-westernizing it like with DmC: Devil May Cry. Being really into games that involve skateboarding I'd also love a squeal to the S.K.A.T.E series and some more Tony Hawk stuff as well. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| 1. Syphon Filter. I absolutely loved those games back in the day and the way I see it, it still remains one the best PS exclusives to date. 2. Dino Crisis. I still remember playing this back in the day. Imagine how much better they could do with today's technology. 3. Like crestofhonesty said, a reboot for the Tony Hawk franchise would be amazing. Some of my best childhood memories went on proving how Tony Hawk was the best skater to my uncle. |

| Alien: Isolation. I think about a sequel often. For fun, I came up with a story yesterday. |
| Here' s what I think; [list] JSR(Jet Set Radio) game. Fallout 4 Stalker: ? Sauerbraten Yumi Nikke Also something like CS;CZ: Deleted Scenes would be nice. I would say Half-Life 3 but I have no hopes of that ever going to happen, Valve has given up on making game and is focusing on the development of Steam as a everywhere platform(Which is a smart business choice IMO because Source is garbage.) |

Ezekiel said: Alien: Isolation. I think about a sequel often. For fun, I came up with a story yesterday. I like the idea to a point. I feel that Amanda being infected deviates a bit too much the canon though. If I had to be honest, I think the idea of being around for the fall of Hadley's Hope would make for a much better game. You could play as Newt seeing as how she survives until the Marines arrive in the second film. That way you would truly play as someone who was defenceless and get more depth out of the second film that "shoot aliens, blow stuff up" that all other ones have had from it. |

But there's a problem. Will they sell a game where a child is brutally killed over and over? |

| Conker's Bad Fur Day and Haunting Ground. My most wanted sequels. ;_; |
 |
| Our would love to see a reboot of Nightmare Creatures or Streets Of Rage (Which i know it's not going to happen but it would be nice though) |
| Dark Cloud 3, I am still waiting. |
| I'd kill to see the bushido blade series start up again |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Reboot: Devil May Cry 3 Sequel of the games: Shadow of Mordor, Castlevania Lords of Shadows 2 (come on, that was not an ending), Crysis 3 and Dishonored. |

Abul-Blasphemy said: Reboot: Devil May Cry 3 Sequel of the games: Shadow of Mordor, Castlevania Lords of Shadows 2 (come on, that was not an ending), Crysis 3 and Dishonored. How exactly would you bring about a sequel for Dishonored? A prequel might be possible, but a sequel, I can't see it. |
|
| I'd love a another Star Wars: battlefront game. I'm just super glad that this is actually happening. I hope it pays a lot of homage to the original game. I have my doubts though, but you never know. It could be a good thing. |
| Megaman Legends 3. I was excited to play it, even considered buying a 3DS. Capcom decided to cancel it, unfortunately. I fear this is one series that will never have a proper end outside of fanfiction and whatnot. |
 |
| Fucking God Hand Reboot would work, but i'd prefer a sequel. Developed by platinum games, of course, because who else can do it? 'Stylish action games' (or whatever you wanna call this specific sub-genre) are only really made by platinum anyway, there's too few as it is and God Hand is one of the most unique and best ones amongst them. It's just fun as hell and there's plenty of room to expand upon the gameplay with a sequel. The same things also apply to Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Vanquish. It's very unlikely any of these games will ever get a sequel tho. |
| I also want a sequel to Max Payne 3. I think it's Rockstar's best game. But since the character Max Payne is getting old and has been through enough, it can be a spiritual successor about another character. |

| Prince of Persia, Ubisoft is sitting on a goldmine of a series but they are too busy milking Assassins creed to death to care, The Sands of Time trilogy was one of my favorite in gaming and the 2008 reboot was also good but is still sitting on a cliffhanger ending after 7 YEARS GODDAMN IT. |
Deserada said: The first on my list are Xenosaga and .hack. By now both studios have been shuffled around, and as I assume both games were a product of their entire development team, it may be in vain to ask for a reboot on the grounds that unless the exact conditions of development were re-created, the result would be a different game (or would it?). This goes for most any wish for a reboot. How about rebooting arcades in the west? I'll die with these dreams. Obligatory Shenmue mention. I would definitely pay for a .hack series reboot. when I played them back over a decade ago I felt like I was literally online. the story and gameplay was on point and I wasn't the least bit disappointed. well the first two games anyways. if we can actually make it into an mmo and clean it up with the technology we have now maaaaaan i'd suck toes for it. |

Rather than a reboot of Xenosaga (since Xenosaga itself is already pretty much a reboot of Xenogears), I'd like to see a sequel. They kinda left the story unfinished. |

I am waiting/wanting a sequel for Baldurs Gate-(BG3/NWN) or more modern NWN2/Baldurs Gate type games. I am not a graphics junkie(regardless of my killer GPU) so i will play almost anything that has graphics at least as good as NWN2 or if it has a good story Baldurs gate 2. |

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but i think some key people who worked on BG/NWN are on the Pillars of Eternity team and the game is basically an unofficial sequel/spiritual successor so you're bound to like it. It comes out in March, i think. There's also this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-01-09-baldurs-gate-1-and-2-enhanced-edition-team-making-new-in-between-game I really should get into the Balgur's Gate series, heard so much good stuff about it. I bought the enhanced edition of the first game on a steam sale and it's been sitting on my computer for like a year now. I think the connections to D&D, especially the ruleset is what's intimidating me, since i have absolutely zero experience with D&D. |

You will enjoy the gameplay...and the D&D ruleset is definitely something to look at before starting, makes the game more interesting. there was alot more but a major aspect would be the e.g. 2D6, 3D3,1D9 damage calculator which could confuse someone just starting but when explained its simple, basically each weapon has different potential depending on type, quality etc and is calculated by "rolling dice"- 2D6 will roll a six sided die twice and will be better than a 1D9(nine sides) Then there are also other things to consider armour classes, stats etc. Also I myself need to look into the Balders gate NWN2 mod, basically,if i remember when i looked at it, you are playing builders gate world with 3D NWN2 graphics. |

Soul-Master said: I played Prime twice and both times I got bored and stopped before the end. The ideal 3D Metroid game should be in third person, like the old games. I also want a new suit.
