Rise of the Triad is a success. What other old FPS should be revived?

Well, there's Black Mesa. That's better than nothing! Correct me if I'm wrong, after the second half I believe they're doing multiplayer too? So it's practically a full revival!

Shogo, Blood, NOLF, Heretic/Hexen.. maybe SiN
I still want to play Duke Nukem 3D Reloaded
It could still happen. Gearbox just said that they'd let Interceptor to release the game non-commercially. http://www.penny-arcade.com/report/...ukem-reloaded-project-still-cleared-for-non-c
Don't know commercially, but in terms of fun it is. Though they apparently have to patch in "ALL optimization", which should be soon.

For their first game it's doing really well. Especially for an FPS that was put together in 1.5 years. Put a $15 (or cheaper thanks to GMG) price tag on it, and make it with the modding community in mind and people are pretty excited.

jurassic park: trespasser. what could have been...
I've longed to see Heretic II re-released on DD services. Acti owns the IP and the game was developed by Raven, so it's just a matter of ensuring modern system compatibility.

Don't judge me, all the obvious answers were taken.

Such an underrated game.
I'd go for Blake Stone, to continue the line of Apogee classics.
Or for some obscure 1990s shooter like CyClones or Chasm: The Rift. Or a proper Witchaven minus the suck.

This may not count because it was a mod...but one of my favorite single player FPSes of all time:
The sequel seemed to fall off the face of the Earth although wikipedia says the developer became very ill :-(

That mod was awesome
And yeah, what ever happened to what they were making (full retail game) ? Such a shame BlackLagoon

The world obviously hungers for a new Ken's Labyrinth.

Agreed. But I think I would give Gearbox one more shot at a game. But not with Duke or any other beloved franchise. A new FPS franchise. I want to see them develop a game from the ground up. Not passed around, no development hell, no delays, etc.
I want to see a true successor to Quake 3 Arena, I mean honestly all we need is a nice graphic boost to make it modern but keep the game just as fast and dont change anything about the formula. Make sure it also has lots of mod support so people can make awesome custom maps/modes and shit just like back in the old days. Also for fucks sake keyboard mouse only.. dont slow the game down for shitty controllers, you need to be able to strafe jump and rocket jump.
More successors to Quake 1 and 2 would be awesome as well.

Quake 4 was a sequel to 2. I enjoyed what I played.
I never played it outside the multiplayer demo which seemed soul crushingly awful. I never got to try the single player but the demo was enough for me to never buy it.
Single player was fun. Thats what you should get it for.

I keep praying the close combat tactical genre comes back. Games were so good.. it amazes me they died off.
I am sure I am wrong but it feels like shooters use to have so much more variety...

It was okay. However it felt like a Doom 3 mod to me. Monster closets and all, didn't feel very Quake 2-ish. It wasn't god awful, but it wasn't a Quake game in my opinion.

none of that strogg shit that we got in Quake 2 and 4. It needs to have the original slipgate setting that was never revisted again. this game is still one of my favourite FPS games of all time.

I'd love to see a new Hexen or SWAT. Maybe I'm left out in the dark, but I did not like XIII as much as everyone else. I'm thinking of picking this up just haven't decided on it yet. The original was a blast.
BLOOD was pretty decent too.

Second vote for Kingpin and NOLF, but i loved Hexen too.
Outlaws was really fun too, but we already have CoJ to replace it
Would love also to get games like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and Messiah again.

Yep, my vote would be for Hexen too. While the game is now dated in many ways, the original has a distinctive and creepy mood that holds up very well.

This too! Why did id abandon this setting anyway? Or did they simply name a different game Quake 2 because of the brand name?

New Undying or Realms of the Haunting, please. Or a spiritual successor.

This. So many times over this. Quake 1 continued using id Tech 5, targeting high end PCs. High speed nightmare-infused gun-play that rocks you to your core.

Yes we could, but this generation shows that we wont. Remake or Reboots are the best bets correctly.
BTW anyone played Singularity by Raven? Is it good FPS in terms of old-school design?

There is only one correct answer.
Why we haven't got a remake or sequel at this point, when even the universally reviled 'Duke Nukem Forever' got made...we need scully and mulder on that one.
