If you could resurrect one gaming franchise...

[Wolf Kanno]

If you could bring back one gaming franchise what would it be?

[Laddy]

Baldur's Gate. Any other answer deserves a quick and forceful ban.

Enhanced Edition doesn't count...yet.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Chrono Trigger. I want my third fucking game. :colbert:

[Citizen Bleys]

Suikoden ; ;

[Bunny]

Suikoden ; ;

xForever

[Pike]

Banjo-Kazooie

[Shauna]

Suikoden ; ;

Yes.

[NeoCracker]

...Only one? :cry:

I want Lufia back. Not the remake, a new entry.
I want Breath of Fire back.
I want Wild Arms back.
I want a new Dark Cloud.

I Can't pick only one man.

[Fynn]

Baldur's Gate!
Breath of Fire!
Golden Sun! (I know the last one was released quite recently, but there have been no news on a sequel since)
Chrono Trigger!
Mother! (this one I probably want the most. The games are just plain awesome and there is just so much more you can do with this concept)

[Quindiana Jones]

Final Fantasy!

hyuck hyuck hyuck

[Slothy]

One game might not really be a franchise, but Mirror's Edge needs a sequel. Preferably one which modern day EA keeps their dirty hands off of.

[VeloZer0]

Mega Man X. They kind of had a successor in MMZ and MMZX, but I don't feel either of these was as good as the original MMX games, and they haven't even had one of those out in the last 5 years.


Final Fantasy!

hyuck hyuck hyuck
That would also be on the top of my list. That and Chrono.

[Psychotic]

Chrono Trigger or Star Wars Battlefront.

[Quindiana Jones]

God damnit yes, Battlefront. Fucking Lucas pricks.

[krissy]

[Raistlin]

[The Man]

Suikoden, Chrono Trigger, and Mother series. Yep.

[Madame Adequate]

[Gamblet]

I want the good old Heroes of Might and Magic by 3DO back!
Second choice would be Chrono Trigger, smurf...

[Sephex]

Star Tropics.

EDIT: Actually the game was made by New World Computing, but whatever.

[Shattered Dreamer]

Crash Bandicoot
A sequel to The Saboteur

[Roogle]

My personal wish would be to see the long term success of the LUNAR franchise. Currently, there are about three or four remakes of the original Sega CD title and only one remake of its sequel.

The sequel leaves a lot of room for future stories, but we seem to find ourselves back at the original story hearing a different version of it each time.

I would like to see a return of the Suikoden series, too. That world had far too many mysteries to leave untold.

[Quindiana Jones]

A sequel to The Saboteur

I am also one of the fourteen people in the world who thought The Saboteur was a genuinely good game, let down by having the biggest prick in Pricksville as the main character. xD

[Jiro]

Suikoden, Breath of Fire and Wild ARMs. Goddamn.

[Bolivar]

Shining Force, obviously. As in Shining Force.

[Del Murder]

Chrono Trigger. I want my third fucking game. :colbert:
Easy and obvious answer. Though I did like the mention of StarTropics.

[Bubba]

FINAL FNATSY

I do actually agree with Quin and Krissy to certain extent.

I've said this before but I would like to see Square Enix release a new Final Fantasy in the style of VII, VIII and IX. I always thought that Final Fantasy suited the use of 2D pre-rendered backgrounds. Some of the most iconic images in FF history have come from when you are controlling a tiny character traversing these beautifully drawn backgrounds.

I can imagine this type of game with a nice HD shine and the usual impressive cinematic sequences would be a massive hit with fans.

I have enjoyed playing X, XII and XIII but they just don't have the same feel for me.

[Pike]

Adding Jet Force Gemini and a proper Master of Orion rez to my list.

[maybee]

Strider. I don't really see him anywhere expect maybe the Capcom fighting games.
Make a game like the 1989 ? Arcade game and bring the plumed clothed ninja back.

That has a lot more to do with camera angles that 2d backgrounds. There are some areas in FF13 where the camera zooms out and becomes static and it really feels like back in the good ol' days of pre-rendered.

[Gamblet]

Actually, I would like a new 2D Final Fantasy like I-VI.

That's not a new 2D Final Fantasy like I- VI. That's something that looks like it was done by RPG maker XV. :eep:

[Wolf Kanno]

Except it is actually done by one of the guys who developed FFIV (as well as the early NES games) and it's mostly the After Years Team, it was designed to be a retro title. It looks a little bland because it's actually been out for awhile in Japan and it was made for cell phones.

It looks like a flash game. :lol:

[Dreddz]

The Legacy of Kain series. Preferably a new Soul Reaver game. Would have been really interesting to see one on the PS3/360.

A new Phantasy Star game would be awesome as well. Specifically a sequel to PSIV. The talent is still there as they recently did the Valkyrie Chronicles games and before that did Skies of Arcadia. Not too bitter about this as they are still doing great stuff and Phantasy Star Online 2 looks legit. I still think they need to reestablish Phantasy Star as one of the premier JRPG's series as PSII and PSIV are two of the best JRPG's ever made.

[Pete for President]

A proper Tenchu would be nice. Like, one that received the same love and effort as Tenchu 2 had; a good evolving story with multiple character perspectives, the epic mission creator, those beautiful settings and the epic bosses. And without the weird zombie and robot crap they pulled in the games that followed 2.

[Quindiana Jones]

A new Tenchu would be pretty cool. 2 was an excellent game.

I'll jump on on the Final Fantasy bangwagon here!

But seriously - I'd love to see a return of the Dungeon Keeper franchise.

[Nifleheim7]

I guess i would have liked to see Level 5 make an open-world Dark Cloud 3.

Jeez how could I forget about Z.O.E :O I can't wait for the HD Collection! Z.O.E 2nd Runner was one of the best games of the PS2 era by far.

[blackmage_nuke]

Chrono Trigger
Might and Magic by 3DO (i couldn't care less about heroes of might and magic but i loved might and magic)
Monkey Island (MI4 was quite dreadful and MI5 had some annoying flaws which kept it from greatness. I think one more MI game could really finish off the MI series with a bang)

[Iceglow]

Bauldurs Gate
Suidoken
Colony Wars
Breath of Fire
Zone Of The Enders
Front Mission (being brought back as a tactical rpg)
Ring Of Red (this game was a stand-alone but fuck me it was good!)

Those will do for a start!

[Depression Moon]

Legend of Legaia
Bloody Roar

[Quindiana Jones]

Ring Of Red

:erm:

[Old Manus]

Star Wars Battlefront.This is the correct answer.

I would also have accepted Age of Empires.

[Iceglow]

Ring Of Red

:erm:

one of the first ever ps2 titles, highly complicated and deeply under-rated game.

[Hollycat]

Really tough question...
My first thought was the original crash series. But then I realised-
Megaman Battle Network. Most underated series ever.

I dunno. I would be right there with you. But MMBN 4 is tops on my list of "Worst Sequels of All Time". It was so horrible I didn't even try out MMBN 5 or 6.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I'd like to see a resurrection of the Grandia series, one of my favorite franchises of all time. I don't see it happening though, because the creator of Grandia passed away some time ago.

I'd also be on board for more releases in the Breath of Fire series. A lot of people were disappointed by Dragon Quarter.

And can I please finally have my Legend of Dragoon sequel/prequel/anything?

I said it in my last post, but I have to say it again. Shining Force. My gosh, I had such a nostalgia trip with this series today. Was messing around on YouTube (I listen to music in the back room while I'm working, when I can), and for some reason Mishaela's theme popped into my head. I found it, took a listen, and since then I've been going crazy with the emotions and memories the music from those games stir up, along with the screenshots and videos attached.

It doesn't exactly hurt that I've been playing XCOM lately, either. In terms of battle systems, the two are nearly identical, though with different focuses for your troops. Adapting the engine would be easy. Man, I want a new SF game.

I'm betting the odds are pretty good that at least one person who's played that game and has modding skills would nerdgasm at the opportunity to do this.

It would take more work than modders usually go to, unfortunately. The change in era would require all new models and textures. You'd have to work in an MP system, and probably a new defense system with damage reduction, due to the amount of melee in the game. You'd need new animations as spells replaced rockets and grenades. You'd need a new glam cam system to handle the new animations. And lots and lots of new maps.

But my gosh, it would be glorious.
