[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn’t count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]
Portal
Portal, please
Honestly every valve IP
Maybe not tf3 though, perhaps instead if it was a complete rewrite of tf2 and engine port that fixed all the jank
I wanted to see KOTOR 3 for years, but after seeing the writing in TOR and knowing Disney has bought the IP, I don’t expect it, and I wouldn’t be super excited if they actually make it.
SWTOR is as close as we are ever gonna get. Even if it’s not quite the same thing. At least the base game story wise is solid and free!
Just turn the chat off and pretend everyone running around is a NPC. 😂
F-Zero
Hi-fi rush. Fuco Micro$oft
I genuinely had heard plenty of praise that I checked it out more and really liked what I saw in gameplay. I was going to wait till it went on 25% off then pick it up. Then Xbox Game Studios had the brain dead idea to shut down the whole studio that made one of the best new IPs in recent years. After hearing about this, I decided right there that I wasn’t going to buy it ever.
That’s why “Fuck Micro$oft”. I bought it but didn’t see the news until a few weeks when I was checking about the game and if they were planning a sequel or what. It’s a great game IMO but the studio got shut down because Micro$oft fucking sucks
Timesplitters. Can’t believe that series got left to rot
The first time splitters was one of my favorite games ever. I don’t remember why, but the second one I didn’t like nearly as much.
Deus Ex
If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It’s fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2’s own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.
What I’m looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There’s some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.
I’m also interested in Project Borealis, but that’s untested for the moment.
No One Lives Forever
But as the games are in rights hell this will never happen.
A proper new Thief would also be nice. By someone who actually wants to make it maybe this time.
It’s been so long since I’ve played these. I need to replay them.
Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.
In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.
Deus Ex. There was supposed to be a third and then Eidos sold out to make the Avengers game that flopped.
Lemmings
I’m not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves… Even the story was good and entertaining.
Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have “fun”. I miss freelancer’s simplicity and space fights…
Loved Freelancer! Did you try the Everspace games? They’re the closest to a spiritual successor that I’ve played.
Yeaaah I tried the last one, while It comes close and was fun to play, I missed the free universe roaming even if it was mostly empty (like the real deal xD).
Same, honestly. I’d kill for a remaster or a proper sequel.
Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.
I’ve been diving into Fallout lately. Love the world building. Definitely wouldn’t mind a 5th installment. May wait a few years after they release it for them to fix the worst of the bugs before playing it though. Bethesda may make great games, but damn they a buggy mess.
Have you tried fallout London?
