MediEvil's got a remake on PSP (so it's not that forgotten), played and completed it, the story telling is a bit different, and, IMO, worse than original :) There's also at least one new (unnecessary) character
Original PSX version rules |
OXM said their new issue will have the first details on a reboot, the cover features a blood splatter.
I think its Blinx 3. |
I was about to say Beyond Good & Evil but apparently they are actually making a sequel.
|
Everything from the characters to the art direction in MediEvil Resurrection were just too juvenile for my tastes. The original games -especially the first one- had such a cool Nightmare Before Christmas atmosphere, espeically the Pumpkin Gorge stage <3
|
The Jade Cocoon universe needs a new entry. The thought of ideas from JC being applied to a current-gen game is exciting.
I'd also like to see a new Magic Carpet game. |

Screamer Rally is by far my favourite racing game, with V-Rally Edition 99 in 2nd and Midtown Madness 3 in 3rd. Still have it on one of my retro laptops, the speed it runs at is brilliant, great for a DOS game. |
Klonoa probably deserves another game. The core gameplay mechanic of being able to utilise enemies for platforming and puzzles was really good, and there's still plenty of untapped potential there.
|
ARGH LBA REMAKE!
Also, Dungeon Keeper is dead I'm afraid. EA sold the rights to some random asian company that's making it into a World of Warcraft clone. This made me very sad. |
I think it wouldn't sell well, first two games felt perfect, and there is another game series about an evil lord, Overlord
|
Lots of games, mainly BullFrog ones. Magic Carpet, Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper, Genewars...
Magic Carpet was lightyears ahead of it's time. 8 player networked multiplayer, 3D deformable terrain, tons and tons of spells (with upgrades), a variety of enemies (including ones which only attack if you fight back and set the entire herd on you, enemies that stole your spells and mana). Different tactics to use on enemy players: Throw meteors at them, use lightning attacks, use a volcano on their castle, raise a skeleton army!) http://newgamesprograms.com/NewGames...shot2328-0.gif http://retromedia.ign.com/retro/imag...1223678013.jpg Then there's games like: Freedom Wings, Rebelstar: Tactical Command, Transport Tycoon (as in a 3D version like the PS1 game), Warzone 2100, Wall Street Kid, Rush N' Attack |
Quadruple yes to MediEvil. I never played the sequel.
|
Medievil would be awesome! I haven't played the PSP version but I haven't heard great things about it. The second one was very average, I didn't like the british twist it had.
|
The orignal Medieval was so fun. I never played past the first few levels, though. I oughta get it on PSN.
But yeah, a modern version of it would be sweet, but honestly I couldn't see it happening. |

-"Fountains that have been depleted will remain that way even if the player were to return to the level after completing it. " |
Oh man Gex has been locked away in my head until now I loved that game.
If anyone here has played Spider on PSone then I think that deserves a remake. Croc was a classic also one of the first few ones I played. How would Pong work out in HD? |
Aww man. How did I forget about Croc! I loved that game when I was a kid.
Also I want to see a remake of this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...r_Coverart.jpg For the people who have never played Ty, It's a bit like Ratchet and Clank mixed with Jak and Daxter... Sort of. |
Perhaps not so forgotten nor a franchise, but I'd really love to see DICE make a new Mirror's Edge. That game was absolutely stunning. So colourful, great graphics, good gameplay and a decent story. It's a shame that not that many people bought it and now you can get it for less than ten bucks.
I know there have been rumours and even official news about Mirror's Edge 2, but at this point, it just seems to be completely shelved. Also, it's the only game that I have ever bought from a retail store when it came out and it cost me around 70 euros and up to this date, I'd still say it was worth it. It was pretty short, yes, but just the colourfulness of it justified the pricetag for me. |

Did get a spiritual successor in the form of Magicka. |
Mirror's Edge is probably the most frustrating game I've ever played. No other has caused me to shout racist and sexist rants repeatedly in rage.
|
Really? I don't get it, almost everyone who I know says it's really difficult yet I managed to (uh oh, bragging incoming) beat it on the hardest difficulty without using any weapons with no trouble.
|
I found it really hard to time jumps and line them up properly. Don't get me wrong, it has some great mechanics, I just found them very difficult to master. It wasn't really for me.
|
I get really irritated with games but Mirror's Edge didn't really annoy me at all. Yes it is hard, but to me it's a welcome challenge because the game is so great.
Anyway, Mirror's Edge definitely needs a sequel, or a prequel or something new. |
I didn't find it to be that hard. I just wasn't that interested by it.
|
Mirror’s Edge was a neat concept but by god it did some dumb stuff late in the game. I can’t count how many times I simply couldn’t figure out what path I was supposed to take.

I wish Sega would make another Vectorman using the engine they used for Vanquish that would be a hot game; I wonder if it ever crossed their mind? They were planning to turn it into a third-person shooter at one point anyway.

I played a 3D platform/fighting/FPS type game on the Xbox called Breakdown. While it was really cool and reminded me of the Matrix, it's a good example of why 3D platformers/fighters don't translate well sometimes, due to distances, not being able to see things at the right angle... etc
|
I would be cool with Sega just giving Vanquish a Vectorman skin. I think if it had a unique multiplayer component it could be a hit. GOW clones are becoming the new COD clones so this would be an opportune time for it.

Bringing back this thread with a classic platformer I completly forgot about till now, Prehistorik
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rehistorik.png When I got my SNES, It came with Prehistorik Man and I remember playing it very vaguely at my mates. It's a pretty fun game and I think needs a HD remake :) |
Pizza Tycoon. One of my favourite Tycoon games back in the day.
The only game where you make pizza, run a business, deal with mafia, buy bombs and rats to use against your competitors and do random dealings with NPCs that have different heads (including a fly/insect head) http://www.mobygames.com/images/shot...the-bank-s.gif And this amazing game called Mad TV about running a TV studio by buying tv series and films and then choosing when to air them, what adverts to use, etc. http://www.mobygames.com/images/shot...e-bottom-s.gif |
Deal with mafia? In a pizza simulator? Oh man that sounds awesome.
