Support NeoGAF

BONUS QUESTION: Would you want the game to keep it's original style or would you prefer it to go in a more modern direction?

For me the answer is easy. One word: Hexen. It's funny, in the rpg scene I'm a bit burnt out on the fantasy setting and would prefer sci-fi but the opposite is true for fps. A return to a dark fantasy fps would be very welcome in my opinion. Now as much as I'd love a true to the original experience, I think Hexen would be incredible if it followed the borderlands format. Now before you roll your eyes, think about it, an open world similar to what you would find in elder scrolls but gothic and with the ability to quest with others. Seeing as how Hexen is already in the fantasy setting, more rpg style character upgrade mechanics would be a really good fit.

Have at it gaf.

Shadow Warrior.

Oh wait.

Real answer: I want another Duke Nukem game, but I want it to take a nod from the RoTT reboot and just focus on the core tenants; I'd prefer an entirely new game -- something that happens after DNF, but a total recall of DN3D-style gameplay, but contemporary where it's appropriate. I don't have any faith in Gearbox anymore to make this happen after A:CM, so I am a sad human being.

 

[Sinatar]

Hexen would be great, but you just know they'd try and Skyrim it up.

My vote goes to Blood.

 

[Refyref]

Heretic/Hexen would be the best, but...

THAT I would not want.

Blood would be nice too. It actually needs an enhanced version like DN3D and SW got, since there is no source port solution for it, making it a bit annoying to play on modern machines.

 

[Messofanego]

We already have Deus Ex and Thief revivals.

No One Lives Forever revival would be nice. There are barely any comedic FPSs along with Timesplitters and Borderlands, and that's about it.

Blood
Heretic
Duke Nukem (properly this time)
NOLF

I think the time has finally come for that dark and gritty Redneck Rampage reboot we've all be waiting for.

you can find it on GOG.com perfectly playable on modern machines.

Yea a good source port of blood would be a nice start.

Jace Hall tried to do exactly that for Blood, but Atari said no and stopped him from doing it. Gits.

Actually, I would support the hell out of this, or at least a nice port of the original ala Shadow Warrior Redux

 

[Messofanego]

A sequel to XIII would be cool.

SWAT

I would shit my pants. It's still so fresh now, is there any FPS out there that lets you deck your squad with all paintball guns and still be fun? I never played SWAT 4 with actual guns, until the Grand Hotel when the terrorists aren't effected by paintballs

 

[Draft]

The one with Cypress Hill on the soundtrack.

Totally agreed. I really hope The Bureau paves the way for more games to be set in the 60s

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Blood. Definitely Blood.

 

[Roland Deschain]

Blood. Definitely Blood.

[sixteen-bit]

Shogo

 

[Refyref]

I wouldn't call it perfectly. Aside from the low resolution, and having to run it through DOSBox rather than natively, it has all the old Build issues like no mouselook for more than one axis at a time.

Aww, that sucks.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

System Shock series (goes without saying, really).

Immercenary (I haven't played it, but reading on HG101 made it sound like a really interesting game. Would love to see something similar out there today).

 

[Dynoro]

The one with Cypress Hill on the soundtrack.

Kingpin? yes please - I'd take a sequel of that over pretty much anything bar NOLF

Might wanna remove that man^


Or at least tag it NSFW and take it out of image tags.

 

[SteveWD40]

A sequel to XIII would be cool.

Very much this.

 

[DaveOshry]

Hexen/Heretic FOR SURE.

And no, this doesn't mean Interceptor is working on that. Although it would be cool...

 

[Hot Coldman]

XIII, please. What a great game. That grapple hook was brilliant.

 

[troopershades]

Descent. Miss it so much. Music still burned into my brain.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

There is only one correct answer.

 

[Stitch]

I still want to play Duke Nukem 3D Reloaded

Oh yeah and Shogo needs to come back.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I hope they patch the performance of ROTT a bit, and add options to bind my additional mouse keys. That last one is a bit unforgivable imo.

Game itself is pretty great though, good price, fantastic speed.. just needs to get polished a bit more.

How do we know if ROTT was a success? Have the devs said as much?

 

[Doomshroom]

More detail on the nipple then in the face...

 

[antitrop]

That is one highly detailed 1995 3DO nipple, lol.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Yes yes yes!! Such an unloved series; I'd love a modernisation of it.

Personally I'd vote for Dark Forces. Not Jedi Knight - I mean specifically Dark Forces. And maybe reboot Quake as well, as I didn't enjoy the direction that series went in.

 

[Messofanego]

Never heard of Immercenary, but there was a Gamasutra article about it.

[ViewtifulJC]

NOLF...been a long-ass time since we had a superspy shooter

 

[Forsythia]

Blood and No One Lives Forever. Since Blood is already out of the question of ever seeing a sequel or remake, my bet is on NOLF. But I guess the rights to that are lost in limbo and no publisher is willing to give a developer an appropriate budget for a game like that.

generally positive gaf impressions are my litmus test for whether a game is worth a damn or not.

it's also doing pretty well in other mainstream media.

[ViewtifulJC]

*good superspy shooter

 

[Finalizer]

Strife mite b cool for a modern update. Seems like a kind of game that'd benefit greatly from a modern direction.

 

[Tadale]

XIII, which is not that old BTW, is getting the benefit of some rose tinted glasses. The only thing it had going for it was that it looked neat, and that's coming from someone who was really looking forward to it.

EDIT: And Hexen would be my choice.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

You and I, we'd get along just fine. Would you be interested in buying a Monkey at all?

 

[watchdog]

My vote goes to Blood.

YES!!!! Blood gets my vote as well.

 

[Easy_D]

Doing a Hexen game like that would take out pretty much all elements that made it Hexen in the first place.

 

[intheinbetween]

old days (shareware days may I say?):
Hexen
Heretic
Blood

not so old days:
NOLF
XIII
Time Splitters

 

[Dictator93]

Blood
Heretic
Duke Nukem (properly this time)
NOLF
SWAT

Heretic and SWAT.

A new Heretic or Hexen would be god like.

 

[Lambtron]

Blood, NOLF, and Shogo: MAD.

 

[Draft]

Kingpin? yes please - I'd take a sequel of that over pretty much anything bar NOLF

Yes; I wanted to call it "Convict", lol. Just like ROTT reboot the game should begin with the player getting beat up and tossed in a dumpster.

I wonder if Warner Bros will pick up the rights to the original games seeing as it owns the IP. Perhaps then Hall will get his wish.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Half-Life.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

Blood and Hexen / Heretic. I ADORED Shadow Warrior when I was younger, and I'm excited about the remake that's coming out. I'm sure it'll be awesome, but I can't help but admit that I'm bummed there is no multiplayer, considering I had SO many good times on the original.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for Duke Reloaded considering Gearbox apparently retracted their "don't release it" statement. Interceptor worked on it for quite sometime, so I think there's a good chance it'll come out some day. Single player AND multiplayer. Pumped and hoping for the best!

Old FPS runner-ups:
Shogo
SIN
NOLF

 

[FloatOn]

Half-Life.

Don't hold your breath.
