I didn't give mine cool names :(
Imaginary/future games:
-Starcraft 2
-A Planetside/EVE/WAR-styled Starcraft MMO
-Diablo 3
-EVE Online 2--just EVE Online modernized from the ground up, with re-balanced economy that skews the game toward 0.0 space rather than away from it. Fuck Dust 514 or whatever it is
-Mario Golf 2 (Waluigii Open)
-A good SimCity 5 (fuck you SimCity Societies :damnyou:)
-Gran Turismo 5
-Warcraft 4
-A really good 3D Lode Runner
-A new/awesome BATTLE CHESS (http://tinyurl.com/ycu4ats)
Oh man Brian, that is a FORMIDABLE list. Advent Rising and Mark of Kri were both flawed but immensely fun, and for that they certainly needed some sequel-love. And a thousand times yes to more Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, and especially Kyrandia.
And Wavelength? WHAT NEW POCKETS SHALL WE STAY OUT OF?
Might as well contribute a few off the top of my head...
- Might and Magic 10. A proper one, and not set in the abysmal Ubiverse.
- Troika anything. Especially a sequel to the scientifically proven greatest RPG of all time, Arcanum.
- Ogre Battle anything. (I would also settle for a new Final Fantasy Tactics that ditches the candyland Gameboy setting and takes it back to old-school Ivalice. And sets it during the time of Saint Ajora. Yes, I went ultra-nerd on that one.)
- Prince of Persia 3: Mo' Shadows, Mo' Flame. Put Jordan Mechner back at the helm where he belongs. PoP hasn't been the same without him.
- A new Silent Hill made by 100% authentic, factory-fresh Japanese people.
- Fallout 3. I'm talking Van Buren here, not Bethesda garbage.
- Valkyrie Profile 3: Hrist.
- A new Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest.
- The planned Loom sequels, Forge and Fold.
- Grudemath.
Oh, and Yon? He crazy, son. He crazy.
Man, everyone has fantastic lists....Mine's probably going to lack some goodness :3
1) Shenmue 3
2) Breath of Fire 6
3) Viewtiful Joe 3 (or 4? I can never remember!)
4) Final Fantasy XII - 2 (loved the story and battle system, I just want more of it!)
5) Deus Ex 3 (I know it's being made, but I want it NOW)
6) Crash Team Racing 2
7) Final Fantasy Tactics 2 (Or FFTA3, I'm not picky :p)
8) Blade Runner 2 (it would HAVE to be by Westwood, mind you)
9) Rebel Assault 3
10) Team Fortress 3: Hats And You! Edition
Oh man, GRUDEMATH THE GAME.
A game about getting together with a dude to race against him in a game.
You guys could come work for us. All we do is imagine games...but we get paid with imaginary money, so maybe you shouldn't bother.
I for one support the offer of our Imaginary overlords!
