SW:KOTOR -- I'd much rather have III than an MMO 🙁
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines -- someone should reform Troika and give them $20m to make a sequel.
Fallout - please Bethesda keep letting Obsidian work on it, they understand the world much better than you do.

And: Mechwarrior, Wing Commander, X-Com (not the awful FPS game, we need an X-Com 1 remake.)

Oh, I'm used to calling them expansions. Expansion = new campaign, plus some new multiplayer units, maps, and features.

No, they were expansions back in the good old days. But since each of the SC2 campaigns is going to be huge they decided to release them as independent games. Meaning you do not need to own the current SC2 Terran to buy, install, and play the SC2 Zerg.
Of course, that means you will end up paying more in the long run too.

Lucas forced Bioware to shit out KOTOR 2 in time for the holidays and it was a buggy incomplete mess.
It killed the franchise. We were always supposed to get closure with a third game and make a nice computer trilogy. But the whole project got axed. After that there was never any serious intention of making KOTOR 3.
Had Lucas been working on the project himself, you better darn well believe he would have crapped out a third game to complete the trilogy and make assloads of cash.
Of course in that case all three games would have sucked so none of us would cary anyway.
 
I wish they had never stopped making party-based infinty engine games.

If they would have spruced up that engine with some nice 3d graphics and kept the same deep gameplay/story I'd still be buying them.

NWN2 didn't cut it for me.

I really wish the space sim genre would come back. It was so much fun 🙁

I agree and I really hope they don't make a Fallout MMORPG. It'll just ruin the series, as MMOs tend to do. Just let Obsidian make a single player Fallout 4 based on Skyrim's engine.

I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Might and Magic: Heroes 6. I played the beta, and it looks great. I preordered, and release is about 2 1/2 weeks out. It's always been my favorite TBS series, and I have played it from the beginning.

Even though it's been years and years, I'd like to see them revive the Warlords Battlecry series. Those were always my favorite RTS games.

For those who are asking for KOTOR III, I guess the Mass Effect series can be considered the spiritual successor to KOTOR, no?
Click to expand...

Spiritual successor yes, but no one gives a crap about that. We needed closure. Its like giving us Empire Strikes Back and no Return of The Jedi. Wouldnt that piss you off?

Baldurs Gate actually ended. Everything was finished. It didnt need a sequel. A spiritual successor was fine cuz we completed the original story of the Bhaal Child.

But how about multiplayer? If someone buys Heart of the Swarm, will they have access to full multiplayer? If so, that's pretty cool, but a little annoying because if I had known that I may have thought twice about buying Wings of Liberty so soon after its release.
 
remake of FF7 using frostbyte2 engine. :T

Meh all of us are wanting a remake of FF7 with modern gfx.....

And all stupid sony does is tease us with intro's.

LOL i love the comment on youtube:

SE director: So? What's left on the list?

SE Employee: Let's see, Final Fantasy: XIII-2/Versus XIII/Type Zero, Kingdom Hearts 3/Kingdom Hearts Drop Distance/Kingdom Hearts BBS 2/......And all the other not so well known titles. Sir, I'm sorry, but we can't start development of a FF7 remake until 2050 at the earliest, plus with all the money we've been losing we may not have a budget to make the most anticipated games we keep holding out.

SE Head: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU-



final fantasy 7 remake would own the charts across all boards.

yassou costas!

i'd love more star control and mechwarrior. call of duty has been dead to me after cod:mw2, like battlefield was after a very disappointing bf2. f1 2011 looks to be a minor improvement over the lousy 2010 game.

Actually I have no idea how MP is going to work for the rest of Starcraft 2.
Click to expand...

Probably they'll give fully functional multiplayer in each version of the game, so you only have to buy one in order to play against anyone else who owns any version.

But they'll also make sure that people who buy multiple campaigns will get some slight advantages to encourage everyone to buy all three.
 
Freespace (the story in 2 was so damn epic and left a lot of unanswered questions)

Mechwarrior (One of the "best" Sci Fi universes to work with and the whole style is so much better than the Japanese Mecha style)

MechCommander (see above)

Homeworld (Relic's work on the 3D RTS game has never been matched, nevermind bested. Shame there weren't more RTS games based in 3D Space)

Company of Heroes (Brought in some revolutionary concepts and was a solid game in itself)

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (Homeworld'y type game based more around tactics and capital ships with RPG elements. No sequel ever came out and I think the studio collapsed)

Hellgate: London (Controversial I know but it didn't need to much work to change it from buggy grind to superstar product. Best DirectX 10 implementation I have ever seen. Completely transformed the game graphically)

Aquanox (Unique and different)

King's Bounty (HoMM eat your heart out. This series spanks you 🙂)

Space Pirates And Zombies (Indie game, superb. Cannot wait for their next updates)

Star Wars: Republic Commando (The first was too short even on Hardest but it was pretty simple and epic. Completed it at least 5 times)

Star Wolves (Russians make Homeworld with a non-linear story mode including RPG elements. Epic gameplay if you could ignore bugs... some of which would be nerd-rage infuriating)

Dawn of War (Wondering whether they'll ruin the series by going back to DoW style Space Marines or they'll improve upon the base which DoW2 built)

Then that makes them standalone expansion packs? I'd say so.
