I thought this was already a thread?
Others have already said Freedom Fighters could use a sequel, though I have no faith that they could do it well.
Republic Commando ended on a cliff hanger and was a great game.
Parasite Eve. Front Mission. Both are square RPGs that aren't Final Fantasy. Though once again, I have almost no faith they could do them justice these days. Left Alive (a Front Mission spinoff) just came out and it already has mostly negative Steam reviews. But fuck, give me RE2 Remake with magic and exp and I'd be happy.
Resident Evil Outbreak. Not an original answer, but it was an online game that optimised for a hard drive at a time when those things weren't common in consoles. Ahead of it's time and would work great in the age of discord, and games like Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 2 Remake show there's still a market for that stuff.
TimeSplitters. This the opposite of Outbreak in that it was the last of the split screen multiplayer party games. I doubt the inherent imbalance would work today, especially online. But can you imagine the salt if they mocked woke reboots and walking simulators? Or how about the games press unironically writing think pieces about how the mission where a cop shoots duck men is too difficult or that the game is transphobic some how.
Wave Race, Blast Corps. I don't buy Nintendo consoles any more, but can you imagine how these would look and play on a modern console? And it's not like there's a bunch of high profile clones eating the market either. There's a few Jet Ski games out there, but none that
have made a splash brought down the house anyone cares about.
another For Answer type Armored Core
What made For Answer so different?
