Which genres do you want to make a comeback?

[Dodo1610]

Stealth games
I want stealth games in which sneaking isn't just an alternative to killing everything in your way but instead the only way to survive.
I honestly don't remember when the last real stealth game came out.

RTS. I would love to see something that takes cues from RTS like Outpost 2, Warzone 2100 and Earth 2150.
A RTS with a campaign that's not just a series of linear campaign maps with no relation or persistance from one another, so its not just tactics, but strategy as well, in the pursuit of a goal.

Real Time Strategy of customizable units the likes of Warzone 2100 and SMAC. Or mecha unit like Mech Commander.

The indie Baldur's Gates and Fallouts are nice, but I'm still waiting and hoping for an indie Morrowind or Deus Ex. Maybe it's too tall an order, not sure, but a man can dream.

Also it amazes me there are so few Zelda rip-offs, and almost none of quality. Every once in a while an indie acts like they made a Zelda-a-like but then it comes out and nope.

80s action movies

 

[PulsatingBrain]

there are so few Zelda rip-offs

I quite enjoyed Oceanhorn, but yea, now that I think about it, it's weird that such a successful game like Zelda doesn't get more copycats

 

[Lady_Error]

Spiritual successors to Uncharted Waters (1991) by KOEI.

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

i want Warhammer: Dark Omen II

 

[luj1]

a proper sprite-based sequel to Last Blade 2

 

[Kutulu]

Fantasy and sci-fi fps, but especially fantasy. Fantasy means magic and melee weapons, and sci-fi means that no more then half of the arsenal can be regular bullet spitters.

Both needs lots of evadable enemy projectiles.

 

[BrotherFrank]

Isometric shooters like the old strike series (desert strike, jungle strike, urban strike, future cop LAPD, loaded, alien shooter) preferably with lots of interaction with the environment, which is the element the strike series did best over others in the genre. Oh and coop, future cop LAPD had great coop so the potential was there. Theres still the occasinal isometric shooter like Hatred but the genre is a lost art overall.

 

[HarveyBirdman]

Whatever genre you want to call (the theoretical) Daggerfall. Absolute simulation? Maybe Kenshi is like that. I need to get around to it. Now get over here Fluent, so I can take a big ole slurp off that cock.

I read about that one forever ago, thanks for the reminder. I'll check it out, put it on my GOG wishlist. It's just weird there aren't a ton of them, small and big budget alike.

 

[CyberWhale]

Survival-horror games with pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls.

 

[SkiNNyBane]

Multiplayer arena shooters that have custom servers and mod support.
