This. I want a Saboteur sequel.

This. I want a Saboteur sequel.

Saboteur was so underrated.

Game Republic, so they can make Folklore 2

This first post....it's so beautiful.

The good Sega...

[Wonko_C]

I want them back and back at Capcom with Benn Judd in charge of the sequel to this:



And music from Simon Viklund and Jake Kaufman.
A true Bionic Commando Re-Armed 2 would be nice also.

[Saroyan]

publisher would be working designs.

This for sure if publishers count

[Totobeni]

Game Republic, so they can make Folklore 2

Game of the generation need a sequel.

The world is not fair :(

[Lich_King]

I'm torn between Bullfrog and Westwood, I just can't make a choice.

[kevinski]

Sega isn't dead, per se, but the company certainly isn't what it used to be. I wouldn't mind seeing Sega restored to its past glory. I wouldn't want a Dreamcast 2, nor would Sega. Sega could do something far more interesting that releasing a sequel to a console. (I'm not counting revisions of consoles as sequels.)

Ensemble... I have never weeped so hard.

[Duress]

Hudson? I'd like to see another Adventure Island game.

[Diddy Kong]

Rare

Rare. The good Rare.

Nintendo/Rare

[KageMaru]

Lobotomy Software - with the voodoo magic they pulled off on the Saturn, I can only imagine what they would pull off on current or next Gen systems.

[TucoBenedictoPacifico]

Yeah. Looking Glass, no contest.

Plenty of other valid suggestions here, by the way.
My chart (following Looking Glass, unmatchable champions) would be something like:

- Origin
- Troika
- Westwood
- Black Isle
- Bullfrog
- Microprose (the true one)

[PixyJunket]

Hudson? I'd like to see another Adventure Island game.

Wow. How did I forget about Hudson? HOW WAS IT NOT MY FIRST CHOICE?

I should be publicly shamed and have my Duo-R taken away from me.

Nintendo. They never recovered from their diasterous defeat in the 16 bit wars. Going third party with Super Mario 64 and teaming with Sega to do the underrated but hard as Balls Outrun GX and AX looked like they were on the right foot but the continued shit that the Mario Cycle produced was just too much. Sad to see them in this state. Pachinko games and publishing other people's games, and now with the exodus from NOA to NOE. They've really lost their way. Int Sys was broken up and the move of Fire Emblem from the PS3 to the PSP and lack of the localization of the third game has fans dispirited beyond belief. All the great gaming minds from the company reduced to making XBLA and social games. Sure, Galaxy and Mario Generations seemingly broke the Mario Cycle but now they are only going to make games from four franchises. Mario, Kirby, Zelda, and that football sim. Their partnership with Platinum games seems to be over.

What the hell is the Mario Cycle? it that like the Zelda cycle? cuz that's just bs

[CorrisD]

Factor 5.

I want a HD Rogue Squadron on a modern/next-gen console, that Battle of Endor would look amazing.

Westwood Studios, easily.

[Supermanisdead]

Cing. Makers of the secret best DS games ever.

[Scirrocco]

Troika. I don't care how buggy it is, if VtM:Bloodlines could be fixed anything else can be.

[lunchwithyuzo]

Either Quintet or Quest... I can't choose!

edit: ugh, fuck! Team Andromeda

[Zabuza]

Nintendo where did they go...seriously?

Guys. Nintendo is still great. But motion controls blow.

Most of the ones I would bring back have already been mentioned (old school Squaresoft, Capcom, Rare, Konami, etc.). It's too hard to pick JUST one so here are my more personalized top three:

Yeah buddy! That's my answer, as well. 'Course, I'd like to bring back GarageGames, too, so I could get more Marble Blast...

[HYDE]

Mercs 2 was so rad.

[scorpscarx]

Fixed. sorry

PS2-era Konami

This suffices.

As good as they are, I can't play their games because of the motion shit. So I want the old Nintendo back.

[Zabuza]

The 3DS is the closest I can get to Nintendo goodness now. And even though I haven't played it, the WiiU looks bothersome as well to the huge controller with that touchscreen. Can't I just get an HD Nintendo console with a Gamecube style controller.

I don't mean to derail my own thread, but I can go on and on about this and it does sort of have to do with once great companies.

The ActRaiser games, the Soul Blazer trilogy, and Robotrek are all games that I'm extremely fond of. Illusion of Gaia was the first game that got me interested in historical structures and architecture to the point where I had to get my hands on any books in the library that featured these structures and more. Quintet ended up introducing me to games that twist history to their benefit, and that's probably one of my favourite subgenres now.

I wish Quintet were still around.

Speaking of stuff I like that have died/have been left to die...

Konami.

A shell of their former selves. They don't even make games anymore outside of Benami and KojiPro stuff. Predictably, I'm quite sour about how they've treated the Genso Suikoden series (ie: a lack of a Suikoden VI even though I'm content with how Woven Web turned out outside of a few gameplay and presentation issues).
