Yeah, a complete Star Wars run through, first Death Star, through to the last, with good graphics, and a smart AI - one that makes it challenging by using tactics, not just by trying to overpower you.

I'd like to see Homeworld done up with Homeworld 2 level graphics and interface (but keep the formations), and Cataclysm's time accelleration system.
A WinXP of Command and Conquer: Red Alert would be good too.

Carmageddon 3-I loved the Carmageddon 1 and 2 until a different developer took over and did a hack job on Carma 3. Just imagine the carnage you can inflict with today's processing and graphics power.....

And where have you X-Com people been? There is a new X-Com out now called UFO: Aftermath.

...which blows goats and has no business even being in the same sentence with XCOM!

I wouldn't mind Streets of Rage or Final Fight. I loved those beat-em-up games. Has anyone played River City Ransom, that game rox!

For those of you wanting a remake of M.U.L.E., there's already one created called Space HoRSE from Shrapnel Games.

For those of you wanting a remake of Sid Meier's Pirates!, there's one in development by Atari/Firaxis. Sid currently works for Firaxis.

My vote is for a remake of Master of Magic.

I agree. Master of Magic was awesome. It seemed everytime I played it there was something new I found (and I played it alot too). I liked it better than MoO which was also one of my all time favs. I miss the old SimTex. Too bad they are not around.

Quake1. Extremely competitive, Extremely fun. The engine is out of date, the game was written for dos, and everything is starting to feel dated. They need to re-release it with the original physics engine but with update smoother textures / resolutions / gui. I'm convinced that people would continue playing Quake1 for a long, long time if an updated engine came out.

They could make an extensive bundled mod pack including, an updated version of the original TF (updated graphics not gameplay), cleaner version of clan arena, rocket arena 3, and a few others. It would be extreme competitive gameplay.

I would say The Matrix. If they can get Max Payne 2's development team on that game, they might give it justice.

Rollercoaster tycoon 2 needs a graphics engine face lift as well.

Wipeout,Wipeout XL, Wipeout 3 , Wipeout Fusion.

The BEST fast paced hover racer of all time with very in depth controls, not only controlled the craft in turns left to right but raising and lowering the front of the craft affect airflow and how the speed/air affected its course. Like going over a huge drop off you could raise the front to fly or sore farther or you could hug the track while dropping the noise down to stay nice and close to the gound and track. So not only are you turning left and right but you would control up and down now, on flat level you could understand the concept of pulling the nose up which would trap more air slowing it down, so on super fast corners you would pull way back to raise the nose as you turned, along with the dual airbrakes for what ever way the turn was. It was just a very well designed game, EXTREMLY FAST speeds, great soundtrack, great courses, but the latest version on PS2 they like dumbed it down for all the stupid players who like to bounce off the walls and keep there speeds up, with the previous version you really felt a accomplishment when you would perform a perfect lap because it took skill and nerves of steel to control them speeds. I recently was over at a friends house where his younger brother sported a N64, man that game is still fun and brought back them same feelings of no blink racing.

Now they need to bring back the original style of craft controls, drop it in Xbox with 5.1 surround and 480p or better. Don't need to add all new fancy this or that, just a couple styles of crafts, a ton of good courses(or the originals). Mainly I just want the same game as WipeoutXL or Wipeout 64 but with improved graphics and same exact controls but using the new precise controls todays controllers have to offer. DO NOT DUMB IT DOWN FOR THE SLOW NO SKILLED PLAYERS!!!!


BRING BACK WIPEOUT!!!!!!

For those that said Total Annihilation, breathe easy.

It is coming :D (This I know for a fact- not sure if it'll carry the TA name, tho'- that's still in contention w/ a Korean group that had optioned for the rights, but didn't follow through).
