If you could choose a forgotten franchise/underseen game to be revived, what would it be? And would a preffer the same old team to make it or a brand new team?

My answer would be Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico with the original Deadline Games team. That game is criminally underseen.


RULES:
1- The game/latest game in the franchise must have come out at least three years ago.
2- There must be no plans for a sequel/remake.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, that game was AMAZING! The same team should make a sequel :( It even ended open for a sequel.

http://www.giantbomb.com/chili-con-carnage/61-19080/  This is the pseudo-sequel for PSP, if you are interested.  I will say that for being a low-budget indie game, Total Overdose was a fucking blast!!!  I would love to see someone dedicate some money and time to that as a franchise (I'm looking at you, EA!).

Unfortunately, though...Deadline is also responsible for Watchmen: The End is Nigh.  =  /
___________________________________

Now, as for which franchise I would like to see revived, there are only two proper answers:



While Dark Cloud 2 did come out, the franchise has laid dormant for a while now.  With the massive critical reception that the franchise had, I could only hope like crazy that Level 5 is secretly working on Dark Cloud 3.  It's the only thing that will make me buy a PlayStation 3...

...unless Matsuno-san comes back to the gaming world and decides to grace the world with the brilliance that would be Vagrant Story 2.  I would mark out like a muthafucker and probably strangle people on the streets randomly out of pure joy and uncontainable excitement if Vagrant Story 2 were ever announced.  = D

The only other franchise I could think of would be Fear Effect.

Planescape Torment sequel would be a dream come true, especially if it'd lead by Cris Avellone....just the thought of it has me drooling all over my keyboard.

XIII, Pokemon Snap and Luigi's Mansion. 

I would also really like to see a remake of a classic Resident Evil game. Imagine a 1080p Nemesis chasing you....

Skies of Arcadia

Grandia (technically Grandia Online is in development but it's been going through delays and such)

Skies has a lot of potential and Grandia II was overlooked considering its great story and gameplay

Freedom Fighters, Gladius and The Suffering. I must have played through those games half a dozen times each. While they arn't going to win any awards for their gameplay the story was interesting enough to carry things on its own. I would kill to see a next gen sequel to each.

Duke Nukem of course.

No One Lives Forever. It got great praise from critics but I guess it just didn't sell well, and we just got the Contract J.A.C.K. sequel... which I like to pretend doesn't exist.

Unreal (Not talking about Unreal Tournament, I mean like Unreal 2: The Awakening)

A new Quake game that's actually made by id

Wow. No Chrono Trigger yet. How is that possible?

I third the notion of Golden Sun.

Stuff I think would be awesome AND WORK WELL (A good 3D Castlevania would be awesome if that were in any way possible) :

Blaster Master - massive open (under)-world.

Desert Strike - first person & behind view, same basic mechanics, awesome action & graphics (not much sim).  It's depressing how little awesome helicopter action there is in games these days.

Battletoads - Lots of variety and white knuckle action.  Couldn't ask for more.

Wing Commander - Story pushed, intense and visual space combat (not slow paced or simmy at all, gotta be as in your face as possible, to make it like a space battle in a movie)

Descent

Final Fantasy, ayup.

You know, like pre-Enix Final Fantasy?

Like,

Lost Odyssey with higher production value, a proper writer, and current-gen prerendered backgrounds a la REmake only better.

Oh, my.

Not really forgotten, but the Chrono franchise desperately needs a new game.

Also: Rock 'n Roll Racing, DoReMi Fantasy, Metal Storm, and Sonic.

Many great series have already been mentioned, so I'll try to come up with some new ones.

  • The Neverhood
  •  A new Oddworld game that follows Abe (Stranger's Wrath was pretty good, but I wanted more Abe platforming).
  • Syndicate
  • Full Throttle
  • A 2-d Earthworm Jim (If, and only if, there were incredibly detailed assets along the lines of Muramasa and Odin Sphere).

That's all I can think of right now, but man I'm sure there are so many I'm forgetting.

PSI OPS. Do it!

And another Jedi Outcast, Pikmin (it will be announced soon), and Oddworld would be sweet.

I see that once again, I am the one who mentions the Might and Magic series (The RPG, not the Turn Based Strategy spinoff). Those games were awesome.

Also, since Capcom enjoys whoring out Resident Evil so much on lame rail shooters, why don't they remake Resident Evil 2 (or 3, I'm not picky) in the old style like what they did with REmake for the Gamecube? I could use some bad tank controls and pre-rendered camera angles right about now.

I think that was what everyone was hoping for when RE5 released and they said they would be coming out with a new game for the Wii. Unfortunately what we got was Darkside Chronicles which has parts of RE2 but on rails.
