Stop knocking remakes people!

Dune 2000 was a remake of the older Dune 2, not a new game.

I don’t know why some of these replies have knocked it so hard. It was pretty competent. And the FMV was pretty good, to boot as I recall. IIRC, the guy who played Gimli in the LOTR films played your Mentat. This was around the same time he was making cameo’s in Wing Commander 3.

Also there was a voice cameo by Frank Klepacki buried somewhere inside it.

Just a small thing, but Grim Fandango absolutely, CATEGORICALLY, does not need a sequel.

It ended perfectly. It’s one game that should and will be remembered fondly rather than picked at for needing a cash-in sequel.

Although ‘cash-in’ doesn’t really go hand in hand with ‘point -n-click’, so I guess it would technically be OK.

I would like to see a Graphically enhanced DOOM. No change in weapons or game play, just the same game with new shiny graphics. Cause now, like then(when DOOM was made) there is just something satisfying about mowing down a room full of 30+ monsters with only a pile of empty shells as contribution to the brief battle that was waged there.

Seriously though.

XCOM
Mercenary. Though there was an expansion\sequel wasn’t there? It had a red disk, or the world was red or the loading screen was red. Something about it was red!
Syndicate\Syndicate Wars
Sacrifice
True Love
Battlezone
Dungeon Keeper
Grim Fucking Fandango

When I think of more I will add them for posterity.

Not Summoner (which is a bad console port from the early days of the PS2), but The Summoning, which is if not the best thing SSI ever put out, then pretty damn close.

Arsewisely says: “Hidden and Dangerous 3 please. It’s always seemed the most WWII of all the WWII games to me.”

GiGinge says: “Nothing quite as WWII as constantly crashing to desktop or watching your teammates jump off a boat to their hilariously retarded watery deaths, I agree arsewisely”

That’s so damn rich. Rofl.

A new Jedi knight game is such an obvious step, what with next-gen physics and graphics. I really don’t think Star Wars: TFU (that’s “The Fuckest, Uppest”) will live up to anywhere near JKII. Also, a new Thief game would be unbelievably sweet (Deadly Shadows was such a great trequel, especially in these days of rubbishy sequels).

Wahey for the new (oober-cinematic?) Oddworld game!
