I jumped in to suggest Crimson Skies, but Semmern beat me to it. It could be a mixture of flight sim, first person shooter, adventure game. Wild looking flying machines in an open steam punk environment would be a blast.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

A modern remake of Stunt Car Racer, a 1989 vintage 3d racing game that was amazingly fun despite its primitive vector graphics.

An automotive equivalent to the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, where you can drive a huge variety of realistically modelled vehicles in realistic landscapes.

A GTA esque cop game set in the '70s starring Murphy...

Starcontrol 2 and Tie Fighter. Would love to see new/expanded versions of those.

Something that's been cooking in my head for a
long time, a platform for finite state automaton
simulation, like SimLife, but on steroids, with
many more variables. And the whole thing would
be open, with a system for packing up mods for
sharing.

The basic structure would be completely reconfigurable.
I got the idea in part from SimLife, which came
with a text file suggesting how it could be subverted
to simulate other things, and gave a brief example
of modelling a financial system, using the food in
the game to represent money. So, I thought, why not
run with this, so you can simulate an entire political
economy, with a few hundred thousand automata,
representing individual players in a world economy,
with variables designating the characteristics of each,
including geographic location, national affiliation,
wealth, assets, education, skills, etc. Then build rules
of interaction, and set the thing going and watch what
happens, a sandbox for experimenting with economic
systems, and governing methods.

Establish a users forum, and promote the improvement of
the structure, and its use in college faculties of economics
and political science. Try to engender the growth of a
generation of students of systems engineering in society
management. I have for decades been of the opinion that
economics and government should be branches of systems
engineering.

Trespasser.

I always say Trespasser!

I think it's the atmosphere, at least in the early levels. The sense that you're unravelling, layer by layer, something far bigger than yourself. Secrets better off undiscovered. Bones whose stories will never be told. The consequences for crazy dreamers whose ambitions exceed their capability.

Layered with a perfect, haunting soundtrack, the story is advanced by voiceovers from John Hammond (Richard Attenborough.) No expense was spared.

Then it all goes to hell because the production team ran out of money and time and published the thing in a rush. So the last levels are little more than a shoot-em-up; Richard Attenborough is sacked; and the enticing, entrancing story and all its promise is literally wedged up a pipe and forgotten.

Funnily enough, the fable of idealism vs reality told by the game unintentionally parodies the production team, who befell the same fate. Trespasser was a mangled shadow of what it should have been - just as Hammond's careless ambition did for Jurassic Park and Isla Sorna.

Obviously, this should not happen to the remake.

cheers

When you think about it.
They remake movies all the time, so why not games.
Better graphics better sound bigger maps etc.

Multi-player (co-op) remakes of either F15 Strike Eagle III or Jane's F15 and Tornado, with dynamic campaigns, would be welcome here. I think it's just ridiculous that Jane's F15 wasn't developed with the co-op option in the first place.

Yes, 1942 Pacific Air War! For my money still the best PTO sim ever.

Either EF2000 or F-22 TAW - just remake them with modern graphics and leave everything else the same.

Jane's Longbow or Longbow 2 - again, remade with modern graphics.

DI's Tornado - I'd give my right bollock for a modern full on Tornado sim.

Strike Fighters 1/2 - such a shame it's apparently been dropped by TW.

The only non-flight sim that immediately jumps to mind is Dungeon Keeper... Again, modern graphics everything else left the same.





I recently played the GoG release and even though the graphics are very dated now it's still as brilliant as it was all those years ago. Just goes to show how naff game design has become compared to the 90's!

While we're on Bullfrog and Peter Molyneux let's have a remake of Black & White as well:





Oh yeah, and Syndicate:




In fact, now I think about it, there was a sci-fi strategy game back in 1996 or 1997 called Fragile Allegience that was pretty cool (I was really happy when it became available on GoG):






Oh yeah, and finally I'd like SimCity remade. Properly.

Oooh some good one in here all of them.

I second Hidden and Dangerous 2 and Trespasser and Vietcong.

I'd also like another Codename Eagle. Man I was enamored with that game. I adored being able to run, swim and fly. They did well creating the sensation of flight. I remember one level I had to destroy a blimp and they gave me a parachute and I saved the game there so I could just keep going back and use the parachute.
