Red Faction Guerilla. The remaster is decent, but just imagine what they could do building the game for modern hardware.

The Mercenaries series. Love running around and blowing random crap up.




A remaster or something. First one is one of my favorite games but it's so dated now if you even have hardware it can play on.

Unfortunately EA killed the studio and I can't imagine they care enough about the IP to try.
At least the first one is still playable and backwards compatible. The 2nd one was also awesome, but only playable on 360.
Think I may fire this one up this weekend


I'm not sure my disc works anymore I played it so much

It was on windows, may be able to play it on there if you can find a copy (don't think it's on steam but saw a pc disc copy on Amazon at one point for like $5).

The most recent version of that game I've played ran on a 512K Mac.

My vote goes to Marathon / 2 / Infinity because it's the first FPS that had an actual plot, and a pretty good one at that.

I would love to see a new version of the original Legend of Zelda. I don't mean a continuation of the series. I mean a redone version of the classic with a new map and improved graphics, but the same vaguely top-down view and game play. Still dealing with screen mazes, blowing holes in suspicious boulders, finding rafts and flutes and what not. Same backtracking your way to faerie fountains. Same collecting coins to buy upgraded weapons and rings and etc. The original Zelda might've been the first open world game. Just expand on that and make it enormous.

They did that for Link's Awakening on Switch. Might be it sells enough that they do that for the other top-down ones

Mass Effect is very similar in plot to the sequel, Star Control 3.

The Ur-Quan Masters is a not very recent remake of Star Control 2.

KOTOR


I'm assuming you've seen this:

Yes, but that's just a remaster of the original isn't it? Not a reboot?
Well, it's a remake in a modern engine, which is exactly what I want.

Why would you want to reboot it and replace an awesome story with something that would almost certainly be a downgrade?
KOTOR holds up. My teenage sons say it's the best game they've ever played.

They should remake Descent.

Which Descent, you ask? The 1995 FPS where you explored mines in a spacecraft; or Descent Freespace, the unrelated space combat sim that's been kept alive with modern graphics and new missions by the online community?

Both.

Awesome. I haven't played it in years (played it last on the iPad while traveling when that port was first released) and cannot wait to play the remaster.

This actually was remade. Not sure how well it did though. MOO2 was amazing and defined the genre for a while but not sure if it can keep up today in the sea of 4X games now.

I used to dump the computer video out to a 27" TV and played probably 6' in front of it using a FlightStick. So much motion sickness!

I've been playing Overload with my Quest 2 in VR with a PS4 controller. I can generally only do one level per session and I've played a decent amount of VR so have good VR legs. I can play project cars 2 with steering wheel in VR for a few hours without any issues.

There are some cool looking turn based rpgs out there on steam from smaller developers. Some of them apparently have pretty steep difficulty curves though.

Any of y'all ever play the turn-based Mario RPG game? Damn that was fun as hell. Legend of the Seven Stars or something like that.

Gloomhaven and For The King are pretty fun turn based RPGs I've played lately.
