This thread is both full of win *and* full of epic sadness. To think of all these stupendously good games from yesteryear (I would kill for a Tie Fighter remake) - and to then realise we'll never see proper remakes as most the developers have vanished Sad

*sigh*

+1 for Outcast. Amazing game! Installed it again recently and got it running after a lot of work, then it bugged out on me. Sad

TIE fighter and X-wing are great games, but there is a more recent version of these; X-Wing Alliance. It was actually better IMHO. Remake please!

proper mechwarrior simulation - none of this arcade or rts bullshit

flashpoint was essentially the progression of deltaforce gameplay
i just wish there was a game like deltaforce, in that it featured wide open areas and tactical operations
things that are both poison in today's market for some reason

i never really liked outcast much
it was nice for it's time i guess but the game was just boring in the long run
but voxels though.. i'm fairly certain we will see voxel based games in a few years
now that raytrace acceleration is picking up again

Theres many titles that come to mind, but only one really stands out. Dungeon Keeper. I would like to see this classic title to be remade in Savage style, with two commanders per game, and the rest of the players taking the part of the grunts. Adding the ability for individual player to earn gold and grow in levels would only add to the depth of play.

Um....

The first Deus Ex. Wish they would at least make a proper release of the high definition pack for this

The first system shock, would be creepy as hell in a modern engine.

would also be cool to see a new AVP game but I guess we will have to settle for Aliens colonial marines when it arrives.

And my only other wish have already been granted which is HL1 in the form of blabk mesa, cant wait for that one Very Happy

Not much of an FPS fan me lol

As for real oldies I would play a remake of Zak Mc-Kracken or alien breed Razz Surprised

my answer - NONE

by today's standards they'd make some half ass sequel/remake using modern day 'gameplay' methods

i'm playing Deus Ex atm , without any mods (HDTP doesnt seem to work tho .. ) and it's still playable . i can't imagine a proper remake today , they'd only dumb down the whole experince , multiplatform it and make it shorter . heck .. i bet there'd be regenerative health system .

but in a 'perfect world' scenario , some upgrading (sequals or remakes) to titles like (see below) wouldnt hurt
Anachronox
Monkey Island
Outcast
Outwars
Vampire the Masqurade Bloodlines
Thief 3
System Shock 2
Heretic
No One Lives Forever
Jazz Jackrabbit
Die by the Sword
Grim Fandango

Lode Runner was released on other platforms before pc, so its not really a pc classic Wink

I can only think of one game deserving either a remake or a succesor.
SWAT 4 - With better graphics and an enhanced AI that would be an epic game.

What i've seen mentioned here:

Close combat

+1 to Outcast, Die by the Sword, LBA
Outcast/LBA were just brilliant games, no doubt about it. Die by the Sword I found very amusing personally.

Fallout as well, I did not like Fallout 3 one bit. I still don't get why they went by the semi-FPS style and dulled the game down so much Sad

Edit: I saw someone suggesting Jazz Jackrabbit as well, good man!
If we're going down that road though, give me all the games I played back then:
- Duke Nukem (will take Forever ;()
- Halloween Harry
- Commander Keen
- Monster Bash
- Mystic Towers
- WHACKY WHEELS !
- Rise of the Triad
- Bio Menace? Similar to the platformers above, dude with long black hair fighting zombies

Come to think of it..aren't all these Apogee games?

Edit 2: Yes they are. Check out http://www.jefklak.com/games/apogees-legacy/

I played and enjoyed pretty much all of the games listed there, 3DRealms had better make DNF memorable as well!

For those who don't know, Apogee used 3DRealms as a marketing brand first but adopted that name permanently when 3D games became more and more popular. Instead of dropping 3DRealms, they dropped the Apogee brand..
