Still untapped Kickstarter game revivals...

[Metro]

Starflight 3... or did they ever manage to do this? Years and years and years ago I think some of the original devs were working on something but it was proceeding at glacial speeds.

Honourable "outsider" mention: Elite (not an RPG, but kinda an RPG?).

That's already a thing. Unless you were purposefully mentioning it; alluding to the fact that Elite: Dangerous isn't a very good sucessor.

You caught me. I'm not oblivious to the existence of E-D, but I choose to be.

X2/X3/X3AP are far more similar in gameplay and concept to the original Elite than E-D can ever hope to be. And yet, I'd love an actual "remake" of the original, with the core gameplay kept exactly the same.

There was a reason why I spelled out the full name.

I get it, though. I always wanted a remake of Ultima IV*, and well, yeah. Lets not speak of that remake. I'd rather just see a nice graphical uplift, with a few UI tweaks.

Why I forgot about it for this very topic is beyond me.

Vampire: The Masquerade

Really, I'd be happy with anything World of Darkness considering CCP is just sitting on the property as far as video games go.

Be careful what you wish for. I though the same about DnD then Neverwinter was announced :D

I'd take it. Then again, I probably would've ended up wasting my time on World of Darkness Online had it happened.

Damn. Should've checked my own post after posting. Well, fixed now.

I concur with both. Sigh.

There is still no sign of a game modelled after Wizardry IV, where you would be controlling a small horde of summoned (or recruited, like King's Bounty) monsters against hostile adventuring parties in an RPG. Also, Lords of Midnight-style first person strategies are missing entirely.

Hard to tell if they would be Kickstarter successes. Both are very old, and probably unfamiliar to most gamers.

a Heavy Gear game that isn't a F2P deathmatch abomination

Honestly, I'm pretty burnt out about this whole spiritual successor business. It was nice the first few times, but now I'd rather see people investing their talent into some fresh IPs. Kickstarter offers the chance to try out less used/niche settings that most publishers won't risk when they can just play it safe, and it's a shame to see such potential wasted in favor of just making a clone of that old RPG everyone liked.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! How did I miss this? Thanks!

 

[Ulminati]

We still haven't gotten a good kickstarter space sim either...

 

[made]

Still waiting for a remake of the cult classic Moonstone.


It would be perfect for a modern audience. All they have to do is update the gfx and controls, perhaps add some more mp/coop modes.

This one looked promising and afaik it's not dead so there is hope yet:

 

[DraQ]

Terra Nova remake - unfortunately it's not a very popular game so that's unlikely too happen. I would fork out shekels.

TN seems to be gaining some notoriety lately.
In any case the concept seems rather compatible with current market, so I see no reason why a spiritual successor (because TN was made by gameplay and themes rather than any of its fluff) wouldn't be able to take off.

I want 2.5D FPS with wide variety of level design from narrow mazes to large open spaces with hundreds of enemies, ambushes and secrets. Huge variety of enemy design that are not bullet sponges, large number of interesting weapons that are satisfying to use. With lots of gore, crude humor, simple fast paced combat and no QTE, cutscenes or finishing moves.

 

[sser]

Crusader for sure.

I bet Gollop wants to do Laser Squad Nemesis again at some point. Problem is the name is kinda shit and Frozen Synapse already stole the conceptual thunder.

Civil War Generals/Sid Meier's Gettsyburg/Antietam-type games.

Not really PC stuff, but I feel like Smash T.V. would do well as a reboot what with the popularity of Geometry Wars and even smaller games like Crimsonland.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

A D.W. Bradley led Wizardry IX Kickstarter would be worthy of my ill-begotten lucre.

 

[Neanderthal]

I really wouldn't mind seeing the Legacy of Kain games return to the top down perspective, a less cinematically intense game like the original Blood Omen, with lots more gameplay and not hamstrung by the latest graphical bells and whistles. Hell something like a heavily modified version of the Div:OS engine'd do. A less ambitious game that doesn't need five million sales but can reboot the franchise on a more moderate scale, all they'd need to make sure of is the writing, hire somebody good like Amy Hennig or Chris Avellone.

And Simon Templeman of course, think most o others have snuffed it.

 

[e-mailio estevez]

I want Tyrian and OMF to make a comeback. Badly.

 

[Volrath]

Kickstarter is dead jim.

So, another SRS Sam then?

SRS Sam is not 2.5D

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Not exactly a lot of genres left to try to mine for buckazoids, but something along the lines of either Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase or Carmen Sandiego would be nice.

Carmen Sandieo is still being flogged around for the kids, but the educational value of it could be applied to almost any game. Meanwhile the Dr. Drago concept could be expanded to cover every major continent in the world, or even our solar system!

 

[Morality Games]

I would open my wallet wide for a King of Dragon Pass clone with a solid pitch.

Don't need a clone, there's Six Ages.
