Okay, say...

...You find an unmarked plastic DVD case laying on the ground, it looks like it's one of those you get PC game in. Opening it you free a magical PC-game genie (no relation to that console gizmo). He'll grant you 3 gaming wishes, provided they're for older PC games to be re-released on a new engine. You will not get a free copy of them, but the makers will suddenly decide to remake the game, and will release it within a year, with updated engines, and other updates to modernize it (Like internet play, widescreen support, expansions included, etc)

What 3 games do you pick?
Me?

1: Duke Nukem 3d on the UT3 engine
2: Quake, the original, on that new engine ID is workin' on. (forgot the name)
3: Dungeon Keeper 2. I just loved capturing heroes and turning them into skeletons, or letting them die and putting them in my graveyard

[Ch33zy]

X-Com UFO defense
Ground Control
Planetside (Older game in my opinion)

[Splitlip]

1. The Crusader games. No remorse, No Regret combined into one.
2. Syndicate.
3. Betrayal at Krondor

[GrosPoisson]

[Lord Kelvin]

1: Duke Nukem 3d on the UT3 engine

Duke Nukem Forever lol.


Anyways, mine (out of the ones that I've played, sadly a lot of these older ones that others keep talking about I haven't had the chance to try):

1. Homeworld (an actual good re-release, not that half-assed abortive HW2 crap)
2. Oni
3. Mechwarrior


Though I must admit, I wouldn't be against an Oregon Trail remake either...

fallout tactics on the fallout 3 engine

a boy can dream, can't he?

[GrosPoisson]

I wonder how tactics would function on the Fallout 3 engine? Commands for members of your squad besides yourself?

fuck if i know, that's their (theoretical) problem, not mine

to be fair, just because it's on the same engine doesn't mean it has to be first person

[Pltcl Sniper]

Rainbow 6 raven shield where I can at least see my gun (not that lockdown crap) Vegas was decent but I want the old school Rainbow six back.

Crusader no remorse series

GHOST RECON BACK TO ITS ROOTS!!! Dont get me wrong GRAW is fucking good for a console game but I feel they should bring it back to the comp in a good way.

:huh: but you could see your gun in raven shield

sure you aren't thinking of rogue spear/original r6?

True, I didn't consider that. Tactics on Fallout 3's 3D engine with isometric view, simplified skills system, and VATS-style slow-mo kills would be interesting.

Sorry worded it wrong, meant to say like ravenshield where you can see your gun.

[CaptCommy]

I would love a return to the Rainbow Six (Or Ghost Recon) games of yore. It's sad how every new entry turns more and more generic. That game was fucking great because it was DIFFERENT. Stop getting rid of those differences.

Oh man Meanpatrick is going to shit trucks.:D

A lot of these are good games, but I think I'd like to see sequels rather than remakes. Like, despite my abiding love for the older MechWarrior games, I'd rather see MW5 with a MW2/3 style mech construction setup and a Mercs style campaign tree set in the Jihad era rather than refighting the clan invasion for the umpteenth time. TIE Fighter sort of falls into the same boat: it was a great game for its time, but its time was long enough ago that making enough improvements to catch my attention would probably change it enough to make it TIE Fighter 2, so why not give it a fresh campaign too? Maybe something set after RotJ? I can think of a bunch of awesome things to do after the Empire is on the back foot and starting to collapse into warlordism.

Deus Ex might be good for an upgrade, though. I'll think of another two later.
