Dream Projects You Want to Exist but Likely Never Will

You know, sequels or remakes to old games that deserve them, but that will never, for some reason or another, ever happen. This is some real self indulgent wankery for your favorite dead (or undead) games you want more of.

I want Activision to suddenly lose interest in Skylanders, let Toys for Bob off the hook and allow them to make a proper sequel to Star Control 2. I know the guys at TfB want to do it. They tried to get fans of the series to write letters to Activision letting them know they want a new Star Control. I know I did and got a personal response from Paul Reiche about it. Star Control 2 is maybe the single best video game ever made in my opinion and it's a crime that it's only follow up was the shitty, shitty Star Control 3 (made by a different studio after Accolade decided it would be cheaper).

The Ur-Quan Masters PC version of the game's (mostly like the original save the title) intro:



Or, the rad as fuck early CD CG intro from the 3DO version of the game:




I also want Crystal Dynamics to magically hire Amy Hennig back from Naughty Dog, hire a bunch of the Vigil studios guys and have them make a real....Darksidersish remake of Legacy of Kain. I think that that would be fucking keen. This one is a lot more far fetched than the Toys for Bob one I'll admit.

I only wish the rights and studio weren't owned by Activision. In this modern era of crowdfunding, Toys for Bob would be funded just as quickly and fervently as Torment or the similar Obsidian project.[DOUBLEPOST=1366963293][/DOUBLEPOST]

One day, Gabe keeps hinting about it.

I would also like to see the final, idealized, ultimate version of Dwarf Fortress within my lifetime. The one with all the features implemented, all at the level of realism Dwarf Fortress players look for.

And preferably a decent interface and maybe some non-ascii graphics, but that's not essential.

Moar Firefly, 'nuff said!


Yes, it probably will never happen and even when it did I'm not sure it would be the same. But I oh so wish they had shot more episodes back in the days.

A proper sequel to Jagged Alliance. I want an urban warzone, and I want it to really take advantage of modern computing.

I want to see some of the lesser know MicroProse games get a redo, hell some of the popular ones too...

Sword of the Samurai
Gunship
F-19/F-117
Darklands

A return of the following IPs:

Battletoads
Noctropolis
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Nightshade

I second bhamv3 want for a Half-Life 3. Part of me kind of hopes it'll be announced this year at E3, but I'm not getting those hopes high.

And of course, a Superman game. A good Superman game on par with Arkham Asylum games.

The alpha game footage looked pretty solid to me. Admittedly, I'm don't have much experience with shadowrun specifically, but from a general turn based rpg standpoint, I like it.

My dream game?

Skyrim (size/open world/story) + Dark Souls (difficulty/grimmdark/combat mechanics) + Ninja Gaiden (combat mechanics)

Also it would blow me

Give me another true sequel to Ogre Battle, or Brigandine, or FF:Tactics. I also second the call for Chrono Trigger 2: Chrono Harder.

I want a new version of Mount and Blade with cooperative multiplayer so you can have your buddies as lords under your command and they can fight their own battles as well as join with you for coordinating larger assaults.

I also want EA to die horribly and the rights to Mass Effect and Dragon Age go to a studio who won't piss and shit all over them.

Another one for the books:
A true Suikoden 6 (Dunno what the hell they were thinking going to Tactics style). I've truly enjoyed every Suikoden game and was one of the few that stayed true to a formula and did it better with every game.

A real MaRPG sequel, and a Paper Mario sequel that brings back old original characters other than Kammy Koopa.

A Metroid sequel with good gameplay, but where Samus doesn't need to be "allowed" to use her powerups by her not-boyfriend. That was just bad writing.

Capcom to bring the 3 Ace Attorney games that haven't been translated TO FUCKING AMERICA! And I do NOT believe that the series isn't popular enough, they decided to put him in Marvel vs. Capcom rather than Megaman! Speaking of which-

-more Megaman games! I don't really care about the franchise admittedly, but a lot of people do and its not fair how crappy they treat this franchise.

A Sonic reboot. Its reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally needed.

And finally I want Activision to work with Imsomniac and make the REAL sequel to Spyro. And no I'm not knocking Skylanders I hear thats good, I'm knocking the piecashit sequels created by fucking Vivendi! HOW DID RIPTO AND GNASTY COME BACK TO LIFE! One of them fell in lava, and the other turned into gems! Even worse than what they did to the plot, the games are crap compared to the original trilogy. "Enter the dragonfly" had only ONE boss fight, and the one with Gnasty looks like it has waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much level grinding.

ALL OF THIS. I would love, love, love a true sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics, not that Advance crap with its stripped-down ability customization and its silly Narnia-style story involvement. Give me politics and bloodshed and the freedom to totally abuse the support, counter, and move ability settings.

Also, for Nintendo to release Mother 3 in English outside Japan.

That Narnia plot was ridiculous. "Hey! I think we are in the game Final Fantasy!"

I think it's funny how in the first Advance, the kid is like "We have to find a way out of here and back to our real lives!" whereas in Advance 2 the kid's attitude is pretty much "I have everything I've ever wanted, right now."

A Kirby game where they finally explain what the fuck Meta Knight's relationship with Kirby is. Why do they look the same? Are they related? The same species? WHATS THE DEAL?!

Disney to bring back Lucasarts, and allow Boom studios to make Darkwing Duck comics again. I know thats not a game, but those comics were fucking awesome and I felt they could've gone on for a long run.

A sequel to every original Tim Schaefer game that doesn't have a sequel! What the hell world, Call of Duty gets a billion sequels yet imaginative games made by the Schaef-man don't? WHATS THE DEAL?!

A second season to SBCG4AP. Really I just want the brothers Chap making Homestar Runner stuff in general, but this especially.

I thought it was pretty obvious that they were both Dreamlanders, or whatever Kirby's race would be called.

And hell no, you -never- explain the mystery behind something cool and mysterious. That just ruins it. See: Midichlorians.

I have to agree with Ravenpoe, when I was younger I wanted everything that was mysterious explained and dissected. Now as I'm older, I find that most of the time the mystery is much better than the reveal and much prefer the mystery.

EX: Kirkman has said he'll never explain the origins of the zombie infection in Walking Dead because it doesn't matter, what matters is that there's zombies and they're awesome.
