Voodoo Extreme has a feature up that's a
wishlist for future sequels. They run down some great game franchises that have been off the board for a little while, and wonder out loud about the possibility of new installments. Besides the usual suspects for lists like this (
StarCraft,
TIE Fighter,
Descent,
Ultima), they touch on some cult favorites that are ... less likely to show up in modern gaming. From the article:
"Planescape Torment 2: The Poop -- Loved by many a forumgoer is Planescape Torment, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed RPG set in the other planes of existence. It was a dark game with evil undertones, but also lighthearted and funny at times. Just think Baldur's Gate with an M rating. The Scoop -- Odds of a sequel are equal to or greater than Elvis coming home on the mothership." Any oldies you'd like to see back on modern systems? While I really like many of the ideas listed here, the LucasArts classics
Grim Fandango and
Maniac Mansion are the ones I'd most like to see rehashed.
