If you had the power to ressurrect a franchise, which one would you ressurrect?

[Emode]

Langrisser/Warsong.

[Zequill]

Golden Sun. Megaman. I heard Castlevania was kinda dead.

[Ozzyorcborne]

Legacy of Kain
Wing Commander
Freespace
Total Annihilation

[Kazlofski]

Thief series...

(Not thief 4, that was lame :S a real good reboot with the real voice actor)

[Aurimas]

I was happy to see a few people mention Freespace.

That's was the first thing I thought of. Loved that game. Story was good, gameplay was good. Too many games tried to go way too deep (looking at you Elite Dangerous et al). Nothing really compared to it.

[Altrec]

Heavy Gear (The arena shooter that I think is still around is not what I want. I want Heavy Gear 3 with campaign and MP.)
MechCommander (Although the new Battletech game is looking very promising and close enough in feel.)
Jade Empire
Rock N' Roll Racing
Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander
Half-Life
Clive Barker's Undying and Clive Barker's Jericho (I would be happy with remasters, but I would like to see additional stories for these games.)

[HeyJoe]

Zork or Might & Magic!

[Deleted]

Unreal Tournament, without a doubt. A high res, best practice netcode UT99 with all the ability to create your own skins/voice packs/maps that the original had, but with a generally more locked down engine (security/bots).

[Uriel]

Another game that NEEDS a remake is

Fatal Racing aka Whiplash!

Do it game companies or Indi programmers, I need a game similar gameplay and with nice graphics.

[Vizardlorde]

legend of dragoon.

[Darkfie1d]

Hellgate: London and Freelancer.

[Daten-shi]

Black & White
The Movies

[Amnaught]

Red Faction, in the style of Red faction 3. Open world. Explosive multiplayer. Annihilation was shit and they need a redemption.

[anaxie]

Bring Westwood and Bullfrog back and get them as far away from EA as possible

Bioware can just fuckin die. They deserve EA

[breadisfunny]

vigilante 8 franchise.
road rash franchise.
not really a franchise but aidyn chronicles first mage. following the games story you can tell they wanted to make at least a sequel to it because so many story threads go unresolved and the main baddy isn't even killed just his lieutenant.

[anaxie]

City of Heroes - my personal favorite mmorpg of all time, was pretty popular before WoW came out, but then lost a lot of players to WoW and the game eventually had its servers shut down. I'd pay hundreds to have the servers back up and to play again.

Warcraft RTS - Not just because I'd love to see Warcraft 4, because if the game is Starcraft 2+ quality, it was be my new game of choice. Main reason I hate WoW, it killed my favorite game series.

Warcraft 3 is still pumping out campaigns on the hive.....

- - - Updated - - -

Real dawn of war.

Real resident evil
Real warcraft
Real metal gear
Real mafia
Real final fantasy
Real fallout
Real zelda
Real mass effect
Real dragon age


The issue is appealing to everyone makes games dogshit

And a huge contributer is open world syndrome games need to STOP doing open world if all they are going to do is shove it full of filler bullshit

[Fencers]

Parasite Eve or Champions of Norrath.

[minteK917]

Turok, quake, unreal tournament, time spliter, perfect dark. When they were actually good games.

[meowfurion]

Diablo.

I mean let's be real. I don't really recognize Diablo 3 as an actual DIABLO game.

[Micronetic]

Half-Life

HL3 OUT YET! GIEF HL3!!!!!one!!!
