At this year’s E3 we saw the revivals of older games such as Phantom Dust, Crackdown and Grim Fandango, all set to return in either sequel or remastered form. Whilst I am aware of the concern many gamers have of developers suffering from ‘sequel-itis’, only churning out sequels to games as opposed to developing newer I.P’s, there are a few classic games that I really wish would make a comeback into the current-gen arena. Here is a list of 15 games that I think would make a fitting return into the gaming landscape today.
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
The Drifter puts you in the boots of a man who dies before the opening credits roll, then gets a second chance to uncover why someone wanted him dead. With gritty pixel art and practical detective puzzles, it's less about inventory management and more about staying one step ahead of the people trying to kill you again
Find out if The Amazing Spider-Man vs. Kingpin lives up to its legacy as a must-play for Spider-Man fans everywhere.
Why Timesplitters hasn't happened yet is beyond me. But its near criminal that it hasn't because the Timesplitter games were just incredible.
Also, I never got to play Eternal Darkness :(
I really want a Vigilante 8 sequel though :'(
Oh and Power Stone.
A third person Monkey Island made by Naughty Dog would be kind of cool.
Not a series unfortunately, but…
Freedom Fighters!
That could be an epic trilogy at least.
Top 3 games I would love to see remade:
1. The Guardian Legend
2. Shining Force
3. Darkstone
Of course, Shining Force is the only one of these that's an actual series, but still, it would be cool to see the other 2 get a reboot.
Jade Empire, KotOR, ICO, F-Zero
