Before the release of DA veilguard, my answer would be Mass Effect 4. Now I’m not so sure.

Smugglers Run - Good premise. I think it could be great with the right modern touches.

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins - I know Sekiro started that way but I’d like a legit sequel with legit developed mechanics/story from the originals.

MTV Music Generator/Music 2000 - I think the multiplayer Jam Mode was ahead of its time, and someone should revisit that aspect in a modern mindset.

Bloody Roar. The rights are held by Konami, so there’s practically no chance of it happening.

Little Big Adventure 3.

Once I thought it was just as far away as Half Life 3, but after 27 years of inactivity they started making a remake of LBA 1. Perhaps it will lead to a remake of LBA 2 and the eventually LBA 3.

It’s long dead thanks to kinect, but another Sonic Riders game would be amazing.

Absolutely loved Zero Gravity and never played the others (because I didn’t know they were part of a series), but I would absolutely love even just a combination of the air fuel like mechanic of the original combined with the gravity meteor ring things. No clue what the kinect version would bring since I’ve never heard that good of things about it besides the main theme being great, so maybe exclude elements from that title.

Kenshi 2, but I just want a remastered version that makes it more playable.

Titanfall 3. I’m doubtful it’ll happen as long as Apex Legends and/or the Cal Kestis Jedi series is profitable, and if it does come it’ll be riddled with microtransactions in the multiplayer but honestly if we get some new evolution in the waltz between titans and pilots I’d still dig into the multiplayer for at least a few hundred hours. With the new server-side tech I imagine if they tuned the graphics to a more cartoonish style, they could 100% create a Titanfall-Battlefield crossover game with massive maps and plenty of environmental destruction that would be unbelievably fun and intense. Not to mention TF2’s campaign is in need of a follow-up.

In the same vein I’d love to see a direct sequel to Red Faction Guerilla. I’m not sure what caused it but it seems like AAA studios have shied away from destructible environments in a stupidly disappointing way. Rainbow 6: Siege is the only modern game with a seeming dedication to unscripted destruction; even Battlefield 2042 notably lacks it. RFG had some unbelievably fun mechanics when it came to the mixture of open world and destruction. Not to mention the themes in that game’s story would resonate well with most people nowadays.

Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.

C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn’t dead.

Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a “boomer shooter” but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.

Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.

Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I’m just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.

Legacy of Kain

Katana Zero

Viva Piñata

Hollow Knight

I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I’m still pumped for when they’re ready to release it.

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I’m also really into LEGO so yay!) I can’t wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.

Bushido Blade.

All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.

Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.
