Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Big Sierra Fan:
Wing Commander Series
Ultima Series
Space Quest series

And for the oddball:
Superhero League of Hobokon (lots of tongue in cheek off humor in that game)

I have to agree with the plethora of people saying Command and Conquer, that's one series that definitely needs it (Especially in the wake of the RTS renaissance). Saints Row would be another good option, in order to bring it back to what it was.

Tried Vulkan API with Doom and got double the performance with my 380. Can't wait to try it out with Ash and see the performance metrics I'll be getting...

 

[NorthboundOcclusive]

The X-Wing Series (Xwing, Tie Fighter, XvT, Xwing Alliance)

 

[nitro89]

I would say the Age of Empires series or Grim Fandango

Hmm, that's a tall order to only pick one game series that deserves a reboot. Especially since some of the games that I've loved over the years come from different genres.

So, I think I'll have to list a couple:
-- Flight Simulator genre: X-Wing series. Yes, I'm a major fan of Star Wars (still remember seeing ANH at the drive-in as a kid). But while there are a number of flight-sim games I've played & loved over the years (like the old Chuck Yeager DOS game, or even Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 1 & 2), the reason I love flight-sim games is because of (IMHO) the flight-sim series: X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, & even X-Wing: Alliance. Dogfighting with classic Star Wars fighters, making torpedo runs on Star Destroyers, what's not to love? And with the new films already out & on their way, it's the perfect time to reboot the game franchise.
-- First-Person Shooter: SWAT series. Again, I'm a long-time FPS player. Starting back in the Dark Ages with Castle Wolfenstein 3D, Doom/Doom 2, Heretic, & even the early Quake games, I've continued it up to more modern times (Halo: CE is still a go-to online game for me whenever I have an hour or so, & I really enjoy playing BF4). But SWAT is just something else. Like with the Battlefield series & other "realistic" FPS games, you're going to die quickly if you simply try to "run and gun" against the opposition. And the different multiplayer game modes are so different from other FPS games (like VIP escort, one of my favorites but also the source of much angst when it comes to actual play). But the biggest reason I loved it (& why my brother-in-law & I used to spend so much time playing SWAT 3 & SWAT 4 over our LAN)? Arresting the opposing team. Very few games have an option that lets you neutralize the opponent without shooting them...let alone one that gives you more points (standard points on multiplayer were 1 point per kill but 5 points per arrest). And let's not forget how your loadout & tactical gear not only had pros & cons (like how the gas mask meant you were immune to pepper spray, CS gas & pepper-loaded paintball guns, but meant you were blinded by flashbangs), but it had a noticeable effect in game (i.e. heavy armor let you shrug off "sting" grenades much more quickly, but meant you moved slower & took longer to arrest somebody).

Fortunately for me, they've already 'rebooted' my favorite RTS (StarCraft II), or I'd have to add that one as well.

The best game ever made for the Xbox 360 was Marble Blast Ultra. Friends and I put hours into the game trying to beat eachothers high score. I would love to see it on Steam.

 

[MetXallica]

Shogo: Mobile Armor Division
Heroes of Might and Magic 2 remastered with modern 3d engine.

I believe that the series that should be rebooted is Assassin's Creed; the idea of an open world sandbox set in historical times always intrigued me, but the fact that the gameplay is basically the same since AC3, and the main story is so confusing and bad written that I believe that a reboot would only be good for the series, which still has potential to be interesting.

 

[Gam3r01]

I would like a Battlefield 2: Modern Combat remaster.

 

[giorov]

The franchising most deserving and needing of a reboot must be Empire Earth. One of the best RTS games whose second and third iterations royally sucked. Alternatively a new Rise of Legends would be great too.

 

[giorov]

I would say the Age of Empires series or Grim Fandango

Agreed

 

[giorov]

Thief! Seriously one of my favorite game series growing up! And the latest Thief game from a couple of years ago was just a joke. Need a serious reboot of this game!

Agree!

 

[LandoVash]

Agree on all posts about Command & Conquer, less goofiness, more strategy.
Secondly, Freelancer brought back would be nice, even just a network & HD remake would be fine.
Lastly, Descent is another one I'd like to see remade, Descent Underground is ok but Descent Overload Demo is what is really headed in the right direction.

 

[giorov]

I think everyone can agree that Half-Life is the most deserving series for a reboot (or a sequel).

Pretty agreeable though really I just want a continuation. Half Life 3. We already have Black Mesa (Source) which is superbly well done.. hopefully they finish the Zen levels before HL3 DOES come out lol

 

[giorov]

Command & Conquer and Age of Empires need a reboot or return.

These.

 

[JakeWearingKhakis]

Ogre Battle
Secret of Mana

Also, there are several MMORPGs that went free to play that I wish had a second chance.

 

[meidinsh]

Team Fortress 3 or Portal 3 would be nice, Valve could add HL3 as well.

 

[Bizzmark]

I'd love to see a reboot of Herzog Zwei. Obscure, I know, but kind of a different style of RTS. Very original. And fast-paced too, I can imagine people would enjoy it today.

Or maybe Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (NES)

I would mention some old PC favorites, but almost all of them have been rebooted.. mostly horribly D: one I can think of, though, that's deserving of a true reboot is Quest for Glory.

 

[illuminatuz]

Prince of Persia deserves a come-back.. the ones after "the two thrones" are not upto the mark.. it's either too much stunts or too much fights.. The two Thrones is perfectly balanced between the story, action & stunts

stunts = moving around and dodging obstacles by running on wall etc..

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

...Wolfenstein, Doom...

there currently are brand new reboots of both series
