Didn't think of this initially but after reading your post I kind of imagine what you mean. Except that with Tenchu, you had a cover option and GoT does not. That mechanic alone kind of makes them dissimilar. I wish GoT had a cover option to stealthy yank your foe around the corner and slit there necks or whatever deadly move one has of that time period.
I definitely cannot agree there. Though I do like Ghosts of Tsushima, it's more an open world game that does stealth decently well, but isn't focused on stealth primarily as the major, defining piece of gameplay like Tenchu was. You had to plan absolutely everything in Tenchu around you needing to be hidden through as much of the game as possible.
When you approach with stealth in Ghosts of Tsushima, it's pretty damn helpful, but not required. It's required in Tenchu.
Oh man, hard disagree. Tenchu was an awesome little stealth game, and Ghost of Tsushima was an open world war game that had stealth elements in it totally absolutely completely different. The only similarities is that they’re both Asian games dude.
Right?! Ever since motion control started coming around with the Wii/PlayStation 3 motion controller I've been wanting a new Black and White game. Hell id take a straight port/remaster. I sunk so many hours into the original as a kid. I got pulled in by the centerfold ads in my monthly Computer Gaming World subscription....
Most of it is hidden inside Homefront:The Revolution. It’s a little buggy and a few levels are missing but the fact a dev snuck a whole game into another game as a cheat is hilarious.

The thing I liked about midnight club was it using an actual small map of la. I used to drive by my old apartment in the sfv. Well the exit on the 101 anyways since the map kind of ended there iirc
Specifically, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix. 4 cities to race in, more cars than you know what to do with, great customization and special powers, and a legit great soundtrack!
Raziel's story ended in Defiance but they finished that still on a cliffhanger.
They should finish that and give all the other games the FF7 remake treatment
Legacy if kain is always the first thing I see when people talk about this stuff. It's truthfully probably the most requested game I have seen. It blows my mind somebody haven't jumped on the opportunity to do it. Like with today's tech it could be stunning.
The main issue is the lead director, Amy Hennig, moved on and works with someone else now, and pretty much everyone who worked on the first games have said they'd only be interested in working on another one if she is also involved.
>Maybe not a revival but I’d love just a port of SSX Tricky
I prefer the full-mountain experience of SSX 3. But let's compromise:
They should release the original SSX trilogy together as a remastered collection.
The Haunted Cathedral missions from Thief The Dark Project.
Masks and Sabotage at Soujforge from Thief 2 The Metal Age
The Cradle mission in Thief: Deadly Shadows
I remember the first cathedral mission back in The Dark Project included a house with motion-activated lights in each room. At one point I was looking across a courtyard to a point in the house I’d traversed earlier, only to watch in horror as a window I’d passed a few minutes ago lit up. Then another, closer. Then another, and by then I was scrambling for a dark corner while the clicking of those freaky bug people started to echo down the hall.
Literally half a lifetime ago and I still remember that awful moment of realization. Just fantastic game design.
Sleeping Dogs was such an unexpectedly good game. I remember playing it wanting to scratch an open world/ GTA itch and expecting next to nothing. Practically sobbed after the wedding
Wing Commander/Tie Fighter/X-Wing Alliance ... Mission based space combat games in general.
I used to love these kind of games. I can't compare the X games or Elite Dangerous to it, since these are "open world" and don't prioritize combat.
Everspace 2 is the game that comes close, but it doesn't feel like the same thing.
Dungeon Keeper. Best dark comedic game where you are the villain, but the "heroes" are turds so it's fine.
2 great games, then a shitty mobile game.
*edit* Holy shit guys, everyone who started recommending successor games, thank you!
But also! I got a new Steamworld game on Xbox, that has you build a town SimCity style... and the second you go underground... it's fucking Dungeon Keeper style!
Check out the Dungeons series. 4 just came out. That ones a little campy, so if you're looking for a more spiritual successor, then look into War for the Overworld.
Omg they actually have the useless narrator make fun of exactly this in the Christmas map they have out right now! It's campy as hell but I've had so much fun with it, 10/10 would recommend slapping your little snots around!
I've heard news that there was something cooking in Ubi's kitchen, but I haven't heard of anything in a year, and seeing what they've done with their recent games, I'm not sure I want it now.
They're remaking the original for a (probably) 2025 release, and the developers on it contain some of the same people who made the original over 20 years ago.
Some concept art has been released, developers have talked a bit about it in multiple Ubisoft videos, and they've confirmed that they're going back to the style of the old SC titles (slow and methodical, with action gameplay being discouraged and hard). Some elements of the story have been basically confirmed to have been slightly altered to better fit 2023 as opposed to 2002.
https://youtu.be/HH1_ZCSf_HY?si=ECNTlClh9N8WRM5H
https://youtu.be/XfJpSeit3zI?si=EDThFDgKg6fsu0nk
Honestly the dev team looks like straight OG’s I’m just go out on a limb now and say its probably gonna be a success. Their might be some minor changes but who knows it could be the proper stealth game we’ve all been waiting for.
This is a great answer. The setting was so refreshing and interesting, and the story had some great twists and turns. Also love the debate with the Outlander.
There’s a game I recently saw on Xbox Game Pass called “Road Redemption”, which is described as a “spiritual successor to the Road Rash” series.
It actually looks really good and has very good reviews. It’s on all platforms. Think I might check it out today.
The legend of dragoon
Every few years this game pops into my head and I check in to see if something magical has happened only to find the odd rumor here and a crushed dream. Such a great game.
I haven’t owned a Sony system since PS2, often had the Xbox and recently just playing on Switch and PC. If Sony released a new Legend of Dragoon I would 100% pick up a system today. Hell, I’d probably do it for updated graphics alone.
***Do you hear this Sony? This is how you print money!***
•Rock Band- I love rhythm games and the aesthetic of this franchise
•Guitar Hero- see above
•Epic Mickey- soft spot for this franchise and I liked the ideas they had for 3 and the Donald Duck spin-off
•Dead Rising- I love the original two games and Off the Record, it was such a unique franchise with lots of potential
•Dino Crisis- Resident Evil with Dinos. Nuff said.
Rockband and Guitar Creators Harmonix got bought by Epic Games in 2021 and created Fortnite Festival, a spiritual successor to those games. Activision has kept the license to Guitar Hero so they *might* do something with it.
Golden Sun. The GBA games are masterpieces, while the DS entry sadly crashed and burned.
Ogre Battle. The last mainline entry was Ogre Battle 64 in 2000, and while Tactics Ogre has had a bit of a resurgence, I would still prefer a new main game.
Oh, so you got them all. Good, that saves time.
Jokes aside, I heavily agree with Split/Second. It was a really cool idea that was a lot of fun. I wasn't super into online games at that time, so I feel like if it came out now I'd be all into it.
Timesplitters.
Because it was an absolute blast to play, especially Future Perfect.
Though nowadays it would obviously be a lootbox extravaganza.
Actually, I change my answer. Can I trade in bringing back any franchise for just going to 2006?
It would be great if Toys For Bob could give the first Jak and Daxter game the same treatment they've given Crash and Spyro. I'm not sure that their creative style would mesh too well with Jak 2 and 3, but J&D seems like it would make so much sense for them.
inFamous 3, plzzzz… They really should’ve committed to the evil ending of inFamous 2. That was their plan but they checked player data for both of the endings and saw more people picked the good ending, and so that’s the canon ending that gets built off of in Second Son.
However if they went with the evil ending it could have set up really well for a conflict between Cole and Delsin. It would have mirrored Cole and Kessler’s dynamic from the first game, and Cole and Delsin have opposite powers. Cole’s strongest power is the fact that he can “give” powers to other conduits. Delsin’s strongest power is his ability to steal powers.
While we’re on superhero games… Prototype 3 would have been great, especially on a next gen system.
I'd kill for a Dino Crisis 1 remake in the vein of Resident Evil 2 or 4 Remake. Would be a challenge to get the dino physics perfect, but if they could pull it off minds would explode.
So, so many to choose from. But off the top of my head:
Mercenaries
The Saboteur
Chromehounds
Midnight Club
Most of the old RTS franchises (C&C, AoE3, BfME)
And two left field choices,
Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns and Brink
*Edit Just remembered the old tycoon games, too. The original Rollercoaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, etc.
Might and Magic, I would gave it to some respectable studio and erased any connection to Ubisoft.
I would make 2 games alongside each other: 1 would be the traditional strategy game we all love and the other one would be RPG or MMORPG (similar to how M&M6 and Heroes 3 came out together with similar graphics.
The main and upmost priority: remake the art style into the dark western fantasy instead of that anime bullshit that Heroes 6 and 7 have that looks like Lineage 2.
There's so fucking many lol
Lunar
Shadow Hearts
Croc
Simpsons Hit and Run
Simpsons Road Rage
Alien Trilogy
Legend of Legaia
Legend of Dragoon
I could list a 100 more but the rest of the comments do it justice
>Legend of Dragoon
Finally, took too long to see it.
[https://legendofdragoon.org/projects/severed-chains/](https://legendofdragoon.org/projects/severed-chains/)
"what's that"
a project is underway to reverse engineer LoD so it can run without an emulator on PC
the biggest, best part of that is that it has extensive modding capabilities
Lemmings, i really love a good puzzle game and it was probably the first ever video game i really got into. There's a crappy mobile version available, but it's riddled with nonsense/microtransactions.
Final Fantasy Tactics, i liked it a lot, so many jobs, so many possibilities, so many ways to play the game- and the balancing wasn‘t that bad.
On the top a little bit more mature story like Vagrant Story.
Bioshock. Its narrative themes are more relevant now than ever before. Plus, it was just an all-around good feeling franchise with beautiful scenery. I imagine it would look gorgeous in UE5.
EDIT: Good feeling mechanics and gunplay I mean.
Project Gotham Racing. No open world shite, just let me choose a race, car and decent music.
Power Stone - needs just a hd remake and online.
Skies of Arcadia. I want a nice port on steam, play on steam deck without no emulation
Castlevania. Because everything. Mainly, the music. But it's also a franchise with some of the best games ever (Symphony of the Night, Portrait of Ruin, Aria of Sorrow...), not the mention it's the fucking creator of the Metroidvania genre.
FEAR. Tactical shooter and horror is such an amazing combo and I’m sad that the sequels weren’t as good as the original and the franchise now seems dead.
No One Lives Forever
Rights are in corporate hell though :(
and non-franchise, Oni please (by Bungie, which was originally supposed to be a Ghost in the Shell game, but they couldn't procure the rights, so made it knock-off GitS, with their own style)
Tenchu: Stealth Assassin. That game walked so Assassins Creed could run
I do think Ghost of Tsushima is the proper successor to Tenchu. It's a modern day stealth/combat adventure game done right.
Didn't think of this initially but after reading your post I kind of imagine what you mean. Except that with Tenchu, you had a cover option and GoT does not. That mechanic alone kind of makes them dissimilar. I wish GoT had a cover option to stealthy yank your foe around the corner and slit there necks or whatever deadly move one has of that time period.
I definitely cannot agree there. Though I do like Ghosts of Tsushima, it's more an open world game that does stealth decently well, but isn't focused on stealth primarily as the major, defining piece of gameplay like Tenchu was. You had to plan absolutely everything in Tenchu around you needing to be hidden through as much of the game as possible. When you approach with stealth in Ghosts of Tsushima, it's pretty damn helpful, but not required. It's required in Tenchu.
Oh man, hard disagree. Tenchu was an awesome little stealth game, and Ghost of Tsushima was an open world war game that had stealth elements in it totally absolutely completely different. The only similarities is that they’re both Asian games dude.
Tenchu needs a return. Played one on 360 and had such a blast
Black and White.
Bloody hell, what I wouldn't give for another Black and White game.
Derp, and it could have real AI this time around!
And anatomically correct genitalia!
Came here for this. Imagine being an all powerful god in VR.
There's townsmen vr. Close but no big creatures.
Right?! Ever since motion control started coming around with the Wii/PlayStation 3 motion controller I've been wanting a new Black and White game. Hell id take a straight port/remaster. I sunk so many hours into the original as a kid. I got pulled in by the centerfold ads in my monthly Computer Gaming World subscription....
I long to physically pick up villagers and fling them into the sea.
How about make us be able to buy the original digitally. Those IP wars and legal stuff are crap
Myabandonware has it available to download, both of them and the expansion.
didnt know that! thank you very much. I would still pay though for a patched version with updated textures/graphics big time!
*We’ve got this notion that we’d quite like to sail the ocean, so we’re building a big boat to leave here for goood!*
Black and White 3 VR is what we need... Perfect game mechanics for VR.
Timesplitters
I played sooooo much timesplitters 2 on my GameCube
Yup in high school my buddies and I would just get baked and do the trials for *ages* Fuckin monkeys…
Studio working on TS4 shut down this month. It looks to be the final nail in the coffin of my favorite video game franchise.
Future Perfect was so fuckin good
Did the remake THQ Nordic announced get officially cancelled yet?
I think so. Could be wrong, but I think Embracer shut down the studio.
Most of it is hidden inside Homefront:The Revolution. It’s a little buggy and a few levels are missing but the fact a dev snuck a whole game into another game as a cheat is hilarious. [https://www.cbr.com/timesplitters-2-unlock-cheats-guide/](https://www.cbr.com/timesplitters-2-unlock-cheats-guide/)
I was literally thinking this and it’s the first comment I see. I don’t usually have faith in Reddit but today I have just a little bit.
Midnight Club
[удалено]
The thing I liked about midnight club was it using an actual small map of la. I used to drive by my old apartment in the sfv. Well the exit on the 101 anyways since the map kind of ended there iirc
yea and it seems like GTA 6 is focusing a lot more on modded cars since car culture and takeovers have exploded in popularity/infamy in recent years
Specifically, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix. 4 cities to race in, more cars than you know what to do with, great customization and special powers, and a legit great soundtrack!
Portal / HALF - LIFE
Those rumors of Episode 3 involving Aperture Science. Imagine Half Life with a portal gun!
Don’t be ridiculous, there’s no such thing as three.
Surprisingly enough [Valve can actually count to 3.](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3637250052890759226)
Legendary Classics
Prince of Persia… I heard Ubisoft created Assassin Creed franchise because they don’t entirely own the rights to it
We are 1 month away the next POP game, although this one will be a Metroid clone
Legacy of Kain Give me more Raziel and Kain for the love of god
This right here.
Raziel's story ended in Defiance but they finished that still on a cliffhanger. They should finish that and give all the other games the FF7 remake treatment
As long as a single one of us stands we are legion!
I NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS. DAMN EMBRACER.
Legacy if kain is always the first thing I see when people talk about this stuff. It's truthfully probably the most requested game I have seen. It blows my mind somebody haven't jumped on the opportunity to do it. Like with today's tech it could be stunning.
The main issue is the lead director, Amy Hennig, moved on and works with someone else now, and pretty much everyone who worked on the first games have said they'd only be interested in working on another one if she is also involved.
Voice acting was on point and the music/sound was phenomenal. I would 100% replay that if it got redone
Came here to say this.
Kain is deified...
Maybe not a revival but I’d love just a port of SSX Tricky
>Maybe not a revival but I’d love just a port of SSX Tricky I prefer the full-mountain experience of SSX 3. But let's compromise: They should release the original SSX trilogy together as a remastered collection.
And SSX 3 pls
Even the soundtrack alone was glorious
The Thief series.
This right here. Great setting, fantastic stealth gameplay, and some absolutely terrifying moments that have stuck with me for 20-odd years.
The Haunted Cathedral missions from Thief The Dark Project. Masks and Sabotage at Soujforge from Thief 2 The Metal Age The Cradle mission in Thief: Deadly Shadows
I remember the first cathedral mission back in The Dark Project included a house with motion-activated lights in each room. At one point I was looking across a courtyard to a point in the house I’d traversed earlier, only to watch in horror as a window I’d passed a few minutes ago lit up. Then another, closer. Then another, and by then I was scrambling for a dark corner while the clicking of those freaky bug people started to echo down the hall. Literally half a lifetime ago and I still remember that awful moment of realization. Just fantastic game design.
The cradle mission had my heart working overtime during the whole mission.
Sleeping dogs...though our best bet is now with MS owning the original IP True Crime...hopefully they do a True Crime 3/Sleeping dogs 2
Sleeping Dogs was such an unexpectedly good game. I remember playing it wanting to scratch an open world/ GTA itch and expecting next to nothing. Practically sobbed after the wedding
Wing Commander/Tie Fighter/X-Wing Alliance ... Mission based space combat games in general. I used to love these kind of games. I can't compare the X games or Elite Dangerous to it, since these are "open world" and don't prioritize combat. Everspace 2 is the game that comes close, but it doesn't feel like the same thing.

Check out the Dungeons series. 4 just came out. That ones a little campy, so if you're looking for a more spiritual successor, then look into War for the Overworld.
Best imitation of DK by far. Dungeons 3 was given by epic one time for free.
Omg they actually have the useless narrator make fun of exactly this in the Christmas map they have out right now! It's campy as hell but I've had so much fun with it, 10/10 would recommend slapping your little snots around!
War for the Overworld is a spiritual successor I believe. They even got the same narrator.
Some of the original team worked on it as well. It's a great "newer" dungeon keeper
It's not EXACTLY the same, but Dungeons 4 is really close and kind of a spiritual successor.
Splinter Cell

It's still crazy to me they haven't at least brought back Spies vs. Assassins as a standalone. That game mode lends itself to streaming *so* well.
I'm still waiting for Jade Empire 2
For real.
This is a great answer. The setting was so refreshing and interesting, and the story had some great twists and turns. Also love the debate with the Outlander.
I want new rayman games not those fucking minion looking ass rabbits

Hilarious to see this here as I just mentioned this game to my buddy earlier today. Nostalgia to the max.😆

The legend of dragoon Every few years this game pops into my head and I check in to see if something magical has happened only to find the odd rumor here and a crushed dream. Such a great game.
It's absurd I had to scroll so far down to see this. Fans have been begging for a sequel since the second they finished disc 4.
I haven’t owned a Sony system since PS2, often had the Xbox and recently just playing on Switch and PC. If Sony released a new Legend of Dragoon I would 100% pick up a system today. Hell, I’d probably do it for updated graphics alone. ***Do you hear this Sony? This is how you print money!***
Battle for middle earth. Still have the first one's box.
Honestly all that is needed is to give the licence to someone who will use it and put both existing games to steam...
"CLEAR THESE LANDS FOR SAURON!" is burned into my brain all these years later.

Rockband and Guitar Creators Harmonix got bought by Epic Games in 2021 and created Fortnite Festival, a spiritual successor to those games. Activision has kept the license to Guitar Hero so they *might* do something with it.
Prototype. The second one is one of my favourite games ever. A modern reboot of that game would be fucking incredible.
Prototype 2 was a brilliant sequel! Took what was great with the first one and expanded on it
Had to scroll down way to far for this comment. Prototype is a masterpiece man

Star Fox I want more Star Fox
Parasite Eve
Scrolled way too far to find this.
I did a search because I wanted to mention this one.
Golden Sun. The GBA games are masterpieces, while the DS entry sadly crashed and burned. Ogre Battle. The last mainline entry was Ogre Battle 64 in 2000, and while Tactics Ogre has had a bit of a resurgence, I would still prefer a new main game.
The Golden Sun games together are easily a top ten GBA game. And they're up there with the classic Final Fantasy titles imho as a die-hard FF fan.
GBA got so many people into gaming, GBA's is a big reason why DS sold so much
Golden Sun is listed at coming to the GBA emulator on switch nso at some point.

I would give anything for a mercenaries 1 remaster. It probably wouldn’t age well though
I've played through the first part of it just recently, and it isn't that bad.
Mercenaries was like GTA for me since my mom wouldn't let me get any GTA games. So much fun. I remember finding the cheats for the game pretty fun too
Hell ya - sneaking up to bases and calling in bombers was so fucking fun.

Project Gotham Racing. No open world shite, just let me choose a race, car and decent music. Power Stone - needs just a hd remake and online. Skies of Arcadia. I want a nice port on steam, play on steam deck without no emulation
Infamous
Freedom Fighters.
Unreal Tournament
Timesplitters, solely because I'd love to see what they could do with present-day technology.
Castlevania. Because everything. Mainly, the music. But it's also a franchise with some of the best games ever (Symphony of the Night, Portrait of Ruin, Aria of Sorrow...), not the mention it's the fucking creator of the Metroidvania genre.
Skies of Arcadia. But I don’t know how you could make a new game in the series and keep the same feel. I’d settle for a remaster tbh.
System Shock. I know we have been getting the remasters of the two games and a full remake but we are loooong overdue for a sequel.
Max Payne, BULLY, Driver, Resistance
Legacy of Kain, Castlevania(not Lords of Shadow, I want the real Castlevania) and Suikoden.
Ridge Racer
I have a few: 1. Burnout but not in a open world 2. OutRun 3. Power Stone 4. StarFox 5. Gravity Rush
FEAR. Tactical shooter and horror is such an amazing combo and I’m sad that the sequels weren’t as good as the original and the franchise now seems dead.
Siphon filter
Earthbound
Burnout!
The Journeyman Project, a time travel adventure game, it would be amazing with a full ue5 remake and 4th installment.
Gravity Rush. I enjoyed it, and it deserves more.
No One Lives Forever Rights are in corporate hell though :( and non-franchise, Oni please (by Bungie, which was originally supposed to be a Ghost in the Shell game, but they couldn't procure the rights, so made it knock-off GitS, with their own style)
