That's all I can think of right now.

Privateer. of all space sim games, that has, by far, remained closest to my heart. I played the crap out of all the wing commander games and would love to see some remakes (actual remakes... updated graphics and that's it), but privateer has always been at the top of my dream list. Starlancer was a great game too, but i wonder how much of that was because i bought my first force feedback joystick just to play that game and i have such rose-tinted glasses because of it.

tie fighter and x-wing vs tie fighter as well, but i never got into them NEARLY as much as the wing commander series. not because i didn't enjoy them, but because i was a kid with VERY limited spending money so i had to pick and choose.

someone said castlevania: SOTN and a huge part of me wants to agree, but another part of me knows that so much of the charm of that game was the art direction. it stands up so well today because of it and updating it would feel alienating.

i'd love to see more side scrollers on PSN or XBL like the the 80's x-men arcade game. that game was boss.

people have mentioned Master of Orion 3, but i had SUCH a hard time getting into it. i LOVED MOO2... loved it. MOO3 did NOTHING for me. i'd love to see a remake of MOO2

Uh, as the first person who mentioned MOO3, yeah none of us liked it. That was the whole point of what I said, a new Master of Orion that wasn't complete dogshit.

Dwarf Fortress with a UI from this century.

To those yearning for an Ogre Battle remake/sequel: they did make Ogre Battle 64, and it's actually really good. It's also available on virtual console.

RIP Quintet =(

Paper Mario is the successor to Super Mario RPG (not nearly as charming though imo).

SOTN has Belmont family successors on the gameboy.

There's a game without the RPG elements of Shining Force on SNES called Bahamut Lagoon which isn't bad.

Mother 3 (Earthbound 2) was released somewhat recently and there is afan translation. You can even buy a cart or make one yourself so you can play it in your gameboy. I did because sound is part of the Mother 3 gameplay and the emulators out there can't do sound right. Don't forget the first Mother game on the NES if you've got a hankering for some more.

Also, I may be alone on this one, but I think remakes suck. They're always just a cash grab and development is usually offloaded to some other studio. There are very few that are really worthy of spending another bundle of cash on.

Road Rash add in some hooker banging + meth running and it's easily GOTY.

Totally agree on Mutant League Football, Master of Orion and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter

And I'd love to see new games of these series:

Bushido Blade
Tenchu
Syndicate (not in FPS style!)

Another Capitalism game wouldn't hurt either.

Tired of people asking for a FF7 remake. Why do we need it?

If you play the HD re-release for the PC, it's the same game with improved resolution. If SE re-made 7 there's a good chance that most people wouldn't like it, just like they never like anything square puts out. What are people hoping for exactly? The game is great in its current form, leave it alone.

Remake Phantasy Star 1 through 4. Oh wait they already did, but never released them in the US. Goddamnit, release them here.

X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter
Doom + Doom II (the original styling with the crazy fast movement, etc.)
FF7/8/9. Yes I even liked 8. Though 9 isn't near as bad as 7 and 8 are, the graphics are just such a massive turn off for those two when playing on like a 55" screen.
SimCity 2000 with a better engine
Original Command & Conquer and Red Alert on a newer engine
MechWarrior 2 on a new engine. FrostBite 2? CryEngine 3? Don't care, the series needs to come back.
Total Annihilation on a new engine. Best RTS of all time and people are still pumping out new units and mods for it. AND the engine has aged decently well, including supporting all modern resolutions.
Tribes. PlanetSide 2 made my dick tingle a little bit reminding me of Tribes, but it just isn't the same without the crazy speed.

Shattered Galaxy - An amazing mmorts that sadly went down the drain with no support...
Total Annihilation - Best rts I've ever played, but most awful unit pathfind I've ever seen once you had alot of units swarming around.

holy shit didn't know anyone else on this board actually played SG, I was Atomix in that game way back when

Master of Magic
Tie Fighter
Tribes

Endless Space is pretty similar to MOO. At least if feels similar to what I remember.

Ultima series

This. U4-6 would be amazing. Fuck the guardian shit. But open world with a ton to explore and no real "go here next" stuff would be awesome. Surprised it hasn't happened since EA owns the IP I'd assume.

I've heard there's an issue with Garriot owning Lord British and other characters. They are "remaking" Ultima 4 though:Ultima Forever.

Doom with improved graphics, you say?http://svn.drdteam.org/gzdoom/

World of Warcraft

Come at me bro

I still think its one of the best games I've played to this day... No mmorts has ever even been good at all except this one.

I was killbot and killboticus back then. I was Fiera on the good planet. Ran my own squad for a bit when overlord system was active since i had a lot of support, but i played mostly as TOFU after having left the game for a little bit and coming back.

I'd like to see another Dr Mario game. Always thought that was fun back in the day.

I want a remake (re remake i guess?) of Pirates! with something like assasin's creed 3 for the battle engine. Pretty fucking please.

We were talking about this in IRC the other day.

WTB PIRATE'S CREED!!!
