I figure everyone has a favorite game from their past that they would love to see a sequel for, or maybe even a reboot with today's graphics.

I am curious what titles people on the board would pick. It doesn't have to be recent games, it could be any game from any system.

Some of mine would be

1). Actraiser (SNES) - reboot
2). Heretic (PC) - reboot
3). Descent (PC) - reboot
4). Crimson Skies (Xbox) - Sequel
5). System shock (PC) - reboot
6). Crusader:No remorse (PC) -Reboot
7). Blood (PC) - Reboot
8). Shadowrun (PC) - Reboot (the original RPG game, not the 360 fps)
9). Rise of the Triad (PC) - Reboot
10). Terminal Velocity (PC) - Reboot
11). Final Fantasy III (SNES) - Reboot
12). Forsaken (PC) - reboot
13). Dungeon Keeper (PC) - Reboot
14). Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance - Sequel
15). Battlezone (PC) - Sequel or reboot of activision series

and if we can truly dream,
1). Blake stone (pc) - reboot
2). any Babylon 5 game, please!
3). Shadow Warrior (pC) - sequel or reboot

Colony Wars
G-Police
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

Battlezone and Dungeon Keeper definitely deserve a second shot. Dungeon Keeper for the iPhone or DS - come on, you know it makes sense...

Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Bloodrayne, Manhunt (hope it won't be like the second one), Shadow Hearts , and a proper Parasite Eve 3.

FreeSpace, is like Colony Wars. But I'd like it on my PS3, since my PC isn't as good. So Colony Wars.

Errrr as for my own:

A Dog's Life
Splinter Cell (depending on how conviction plays)
Freedom Fighters
Tony Hawks Pro Skater
Hogs of War
Oddworld (anything)
The Getaway (guilty pleasure for sure)

Yeah, I've encountered FreeSpace.

+1 for Oddworld and Chrono Cross. Though knowing Square of late they'd probably turn the latter into some horrific ar-per-guh lite. Freedom Fighters wasn't too bad, but between Left 4 Dead and Gears I think we have the co-op/squad shooter thing covered.

+1 for Soul Reaver - I absolutely loved that series. Some of the best characterisation , voice overs and level design in any game to date imo. I miss it muchly.

Rallisport Challenge 2 - never going to happen I know but nothing out there matches it imo.

Wave Race - every time I see great water effects this gen I crave for a great Jet ski game... woefully short of those given the technology available. :(

I'd like to see a conclusion to the Legacy of Kain series.

Probably never happen considering the chick that wrote the story left the company and one of the voice actors died, but I still wanna know what happens dammit!

You guys brought some great games up.
I cant believe I forgot the Oddworld games, I love that series and have played every game. legacy of kain is awesome too, and i didnt know one of the actors died, which one?
A new rallysport, Chrono cross, Kingdome hearts, would be awesome.

I'll have a bit of Soul Reaver too. And I want a proper Okami sequel. And a new Skooldaze.

Shenmue 3 - God I frigging loved the first 2 (particularly the 2nd)
Commander Keen - heard years ago (circa Mario64) that a sequel was on the cards but never surfaced
Vice City - I adored the game world in this and for me no other GTA has matched it
Outrun - 2 Coast to Coast was fantastic, I'd love a wholly new modern Outrun
Point Blank

Most games I love are still with us today and going strong:
Mario (hooray for Galaxy)
Civ IV
Street Fighter etc

Eh? Who was the Soul Reaver chap that died? Tell me it wasn't Simon Templeman.

Broadening the topic slightly - how about franchises that are still with us, but are a pale shadow of their original glory?

Sonic is the most tragic case I can think of. That hedgehog made my childhood, and now the best he can do is supporting act in a fucking Mario minigame compilation.

Tonyy Jay was the LoK voice actor who died, voices the Elder God among others.

@freedom

Damn :( Can't imagine the Elder God being portrayed by any other voice actor.

I think Visceral Entertainment could do Soul Reaver right, in the unlikely event that they get their hands on the property.

Wave Race
Vice City remade with the GTA IV engine.
Rally Sports Challenge needs a sequel and it should be multiplatform.
SimCity 2000
Zelda Ocarine of Time. In pretty and with my memories of it completely erased.

Went round to a mates last night and played Mirros Edge on his PC for about 5 minutes...

I hope that gets a sequel.

Absolutely. And all other games in first person perspective should have the same camera.

I really, really hope they don't drop Mirrors Edge. Fascinating game.

It's defintely the aesthetic that hooked me, but then it's also a puzzle game. Perhaps a puzzle platformer. But there's so much about sustaining momentum, I don't know if that's fair.

There's a lot of great and seemingly mature game design in there, for such a new concept. Not to say there aren't quite a few bug bears, the reponse to the controls are awful, for one. Delayed input and detection issues (specifically in combat).

I look forward to picking it up for cheap and maybe writing a bit about it.

@no pudding, if you have a 360, gamefly has it for a really cheap deal right now.

Nope I have a PS3. And Gamefly isn't in the UK, is it?

Definitely Oddworld. My second favourite series after Metal Gear Solid.
I remember hearing the name soul reaver around the time it was around, but never heard anything about it. Guess I was missing out

I am the same ashers2ashers.

And afterwards I was told people who were involved were Amy Hennig (of Naughty Dog) and Denis Dyack (of Silicon Knights). And apparently it had great storytellign and puzzles.

Will need to check it out evenually.

Here's a plot snippet from Soul Reaver 2. If you thought MGS was intense, you might want to down a couple of coffees first.

No_PUDding and dirigiblebill -

Good news, a sequel to Mirror's Edge is supposedly in the works.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit as well, even though I wasn't expecting to.
