Legacy of Kain. Make it a new single-player, story driven experience or re-master Blood Omen and Soul Reaver. As an original story it doesn't necessarily have to pick up where Defiance left off - hell, I'd play the shit out of a Vorador centric game - it just has to have something to do with the central themes of Nosgoth, the Pillars, and Kain.

So are there any old games you'd like to see get a second chance at life with updates? And if you were in charge, what changes would you make to improve the past mistakes?

Septentrion/SOS was a high-concept SNES game that I'd like to see them give a second chance on the Gameboy DS.
  • Update the graphics and while the music is great, it could also use one.
  • Further the character's stories, including the survivors you rescue.
  • Let the playable ones have special talents. The councilor has an easier time convincing the survivors to come along with him (he could know sign language to help the deaf passenger), the doctor loses less time when knocked down, the sailor has a map (which the others can later get, but his is more detailed) and the Architect can take more damage before getting knocked down.
    • Maybe they could add a new character or two like a steam room worker who is strong enough to move some of the furniture in his way (what the heck, make him black). Or a lady singer who is smaller and can crawl through passages the others can't.
  • Have a longer time limit.
  • Improve the survivor AI.
  • Keep it a side-scroller.

No, I don't expect anything good from developers now. Enhanced editions, or reboots or whatever. "Gamers aren't the audience" is a pretty apt description. Games are targeted towards the general public now, like the movie industry. I'm no longer the demographic they are catering to, so I don't expect anything I liked about the old games to still be present when they are "reimagined"

Eternal Champions would also be a nice one even if it's for the nostalgia factor alone. Heck, many of the fatalities are still gruesome by today's standards.

Bonus points if they keep Senator.

Still, it's quite a few months I havent heard a thing about it.
It's kinda sad that sega has all these dormant ips and theu dont do anything with them.
You have to hope for a 3rd party, to ask for their permission and then, you get maybe a new game.
I mean first wonderboy, then shenmue and now this.
 
I never played project altered beast but I would love to see a spiritual successor of it but without the name since it never felt like a altered beast game. Also, get rid of the alien, he just creeps me out.
 
Poured countless hours into this one. So much fun using each of the weapons. Great maps and vehicles, with some good assault maps too. I also miss the mutators, you don't really find them in modern shooters anymore. Then there's the voices you can choose from.

Cobalt was my favourite character.

My top 5 picks:
Remake or remaster Soul Reaver and add in all the cut content, make it harder and remove a few of the block puzzles or make em much shorter.

Metal Gear Solid V, it would have been very interesting to see what the game would have been like with it's cut content implemented and the overall game polished up (maybe also change the story as that was the weakest part of 5)

Resident Evil 3.5/4, the Castle version (the one with the fog tentacle creature) would be so interesting given it apparently was the most complete out of the 4 canned versions and had some interesting ideas (Wesker was the main villain and Leon being infected meant he hallucinated and couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't, not to mention, the game being much darker. It was going to end with Leon dying) Maybe incorporate some of the hooked man version ideas as well (like the hooked man himself, those weird living dolls) or make a hybrid out of the two versions (and add zombies because why not?)

Megaman X3, a lot of interesting ideas first showed up here (bosses having 2nd phases, different ride armors, Zero as a playable character) but X3 half asses nearly every one of these ideas, not to mention having several dull boss fights as well as boring stage design and the difficulty being kinda of inconsistent.

Megaman X7 as well, even more promise than X3 (2d and 3d stages, Axl who could copy enemies, tag team like switching between characters) and it was even duller than X3.
 
I'd love to see a new Project Eden. The game had some great puzzles, but the fights were rather dull. A new Lost Vikings would be nice too. I like Trine and all, but I prefer having to get all three character to reach their destinations individually instead of them teleporting into each others' place, and the ones you're not using at the moment floating in limbo.

Septerra Core deserves another chance too. It was a really unique cyberpunk "jrpg" hampered by bad voice acting and occasionally tedious quests and grinding. Same with Revenant, it was such a cool Diablo clone with fighting game elements, but some of the dungeons were waaaay too long and maze-like.

Finally, I think Jazz Jackrabbit is ripe for a revival and a return to norm after the atrocious GBA game. Oh, and what I wouldn't give for a good MDK 3!

Put my vote in for Septerra Core as well. Grub was such an cute character.
 
I'd love to see an enhanced remake of Super Mario RPG. I wouldn't say no to anything featuring Mallow and Geno (especially Mallow) again, actually. But I think SMRPG would look amazing in updated graphics and music (if done well, not like the soundtrack to Diddy Kong Racing DS). Square has taken baby steps in acknowledging it's existence so maybe it's not completely and utterly impossible.
 
I'd like to see the Army Men games make a comeback and be done with the proper quality and care it deserves. I think Army Men was a good concept for its time, but the later games weren't very good. I think it would do well in this era of multiplayer gameplay.

I'm surprised with the popularity of multiplayer shooters like Overwatch and TF2 that whomever bought the IP when 3DO collapsed hasn't tried to bring back the franchise. I mean, there are indie fan games like that Army Men III project, but I'd like to see something official.

I know that the Army Men franchise became widely hated in its later years, but it hasn't seen a major release since around 2007 or 2008 at the latest, and the games as a whole have been forgotten by the general gaming public. I think after a decade of falling into obscurity, the series deserves a second chance.

I'd love to see a remake of Army Men 3D or Sarge's Heroes on the PS4. Or maybe a whole new game in the Army Men franchise to start the franchise anew.
