Loved soul reaver.http://www.oxm.co.uk/50109/new-legacy-of-kain-project-revealed-possible-artwork-spotted-in-portfolio/
Dungeon Keeper definitely, also I would love to see Original War redone (with more tactical based approach to infantry), as well as Jedi Outcast/Academy actually done in a decent engine... with Psi-Ops like telekinesis *drools*
I would kill for Might&Magic VI,VII,VIII done in Skyrim style *drools some more*

I'll throw down with this one. Paradise is an okay game, but it lacks a lot of what made Burnout Burnout. And Crash was just bloody awful.GonzoGamer said:
Criterion did say they'd be making another Burnout game at some point, so here's hoping they learn.
I think you're thinking of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's RequiemLucid_Camel said:
Personally I'd like a nice new Dino Crisis, Timesplitters and Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. (I never got to play Cross first time around).
Yea, Paradise was a decent driving game just a bad Burnout game.Zachary Amaranth said:
They are making another one? I thought they just worked on another driving franchise now. I've mentioned it here before but my dream game would be Burnout Revenge Blues Bros Edition: all the Burnout fun with the cars, settings, and music from the Blues Bros movie. Rubber Biscuit should be the theme music for the crash junctions. It wasn't in the movie but I love that song.

They're currently on the Need for Speed franchise. Oddly enough, basically a reboot.GonzoGamer said:
There's been no specific news that they are making a new Burnout, but Criterion did say they would do another. They also said they'd like to do a Road Rash game, if I remember right.
It's possible that it's just PR, but I doubt they're completely done with the franchise.
See I thought about this, and my only thought was; "It would be cool to have a reboot of Legacy of Kain/Dino Crisis, but they'd only fuck it up"
So, all I want now is that someone make a game, and finish it. No half arsed filler bits, no shitty undertested menu systems, no immersion breaking QTE's. Yes I'm looking at you Capcom, come on, do it right next time. Then give us more dinosaurs, proper ones, not stupid zombie-transformer ones.

This came to me while I was at work the other day. I turned to a co-worker of mine (a fellow PC gamer), and said, "Why the hell don't they remake X-Wing and TIE Fighter?!"UrinalDook said:
Modern technology, graphics, and processing power could make a reboot absolutely EPIC!
-I own Streets of Rage 2+3 on Wii and replay them constantly. I've seen walkthroughs for the fan-made remakes and it just boggles my mind how Sega refuses to back such an obvious work of pure love. Really, just buy the prototype, maybe tweaking with extra content (the branching paths, if that's what it was, was an AWESOME idea) and throw it on the online stores. Most of the work is done, so the main cost is the purchase price and budget for modding, maybe DLC. It really can't be THAT expensive and God knows Sega could use a little extra cash flow.
-I know they redid Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP and I would absolutely pick it up if I could, but I keep thinking updated content would make this so much more fun. Why just level grind on random, pointless fights when you could include the mission system from FFT Advance where you go to the pub, pick a side-quest, and actually work through it, including unique win conditions like not using magic or knocking someone off a cliff with Dash (though without the godawful Judge system)? Better yet, use the FF12 bounty hunter mode where you randomly fight a unique character (either a beefed up stock enemy or original design) with an interesting back-story, who you can choose to kill, maybe for a special crystal skill, or spare and throw in jail for an item. While you're at it, have the Zodiac stones play a role - at least make something happen when you collect all 13 (obviously don't completely change the ending, but maybe add a special scene), or get real creative and include a system where a character can abuse the stone's power for special attacks, but forces a special boss fight (maybe a super version of a Lucavi demon) if you use them too often. Also, give concluding story arcs to special characters. Beowolf's thing ended well enough, but what happens to Agrias at the end? Cid? Cloud? Balthier? (how is he even in that time period in the first place? It's Ivalice, but I thought it was the past or something).
-Legend of Legaia: love it to death but it can get really tedious and slow. We've got the processing power where random battles aren't required anymore and can make level grinding and picking up spells easier. Also, the whole concept of choosing attack combos (Low, High, Right Hand, Left Hand) should have more of an impact on how an enemy takes damage, as well as flow more naturally into discovering super combos than having to randomly guess at them. I enjoyed the story and the 3rd act had a nice twist to the villain's reveal, but the actual dialogue needed a lot more polishing. The soundtrack is really good though with probably one of the best boss themes I've ever heard.
-Medevil: Absolutely agree. You'd think the gothic-horror aesthetic would make it more popular these days.
-Toejam and Earl and Earthworm Jim: the 2nd one for T+E is my favorite and probably the one everyone remembers if they've ever heard of the series. Both were really solid platformers with such unique, weird designs that you just don't see anymore. Especially T+E because it encouraged exploration and threw a lot of surprises at you (at some point you fight a duck riding a flying carpet, a nudist in a cardboard box, and a ghost cow - seriously, if you know a current series with that level of insanity, tell me). I wonder how that would work as open-world?

I'd probably ask for C&C to be rebooted seeing as how the plot is so full of holes you'll spend eternity trying to close all the massive gaps.
That and Resident Evil really needs to drop the "bio terrorism" schtick and go back to being about a faceless powerful corporation and zombies and nothing more beyond that spectrum.

I can't help but shout "Bring it!" whenever I see more and more info on the new Thief game. It's being called a reboot, and I want that game bad. I assume that counts.
That would be a shame. I mean, they peaked around Burnout Revenge but that & 3 are probably my 2 fav driving games of all time. I would love to see a comeback.Zachary Amaranth said:
How about the entire point-and-click adventure genre?
More games like The Walking Dead and Heavy Rain would be cool, except with better puzzles.
