If you had asked this question a decade ago, Deus Ex would've 100% been on the list. But honestly, the new Deus Ex series is pretty fucking good.

Maybe we can remap the controls in this one... I'm going to throw some money at these guys, but do they really need 1.7 million to have stuff like limb dismemberment? Or even 900 grand for the base game. Seems kind of steep.

$900k sounds like they know video games cost money, but I feel like they should've asked for 1.5M base.

900 grand is not a lot of money anymore. Fucking crazy, but salaries, health care, etc, adds up quick.
I hope they kick ass with it, but I don't back video games on KS anymore.

Huh. I guess this is going to be a bit more than what some kid could do with the DOOM editor back in the day then...
Funny thing is, an actual good redo of the original System Shock would have been on my Do It Again list for certain.

They are very smart to have released a demo.

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen
Was anything ever released that was even close to this? (Other than the N64 one.) I put so many hours into this on SNES and I don't know if I've ever seen anything similar in all the years since. Sure you can find plenty of games that have a similar combat system, or similar leveling system, or alignment system, etc. but nothing to my knowledge that comes close to the whole package.

Soul Nomad on PS2 was sort of similar, except the maps were grid based; it's also a NIS game so there was a good deal more silliness. It lacked the ALI/CHA/Reputation morality system too.
I've still never played the N64 one; might be time to acquire an emulator.

Just a few off the top of my head-
Darklands AutoDuel/Car Wars Racing Destruction Set Mail Order Monsters 6 Gun Shootout A decent PC baseball game (Earl Weaver Baseball?) ToEE and other classic AD&D modules done correctly Master Of Magic (Planar Conquest is decent, but it could be a lot better) Seven Cities of Gold/Heart of Africa (a good exploration game) Another update to Pirates! Adventure Construction Set Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain An old fashioned dungeon crawler- Bard's Tale, Wizardry, etc Silent Hunter or Red Storm Rising, or another good sub game Wizard's Crown with updated graphics and UI

When my mother moved out of her house I /almost/ got my copy of Car Wars back. Except at some point the box had popped open and dropped tokens all over and she vacuumed them up. Ah, well.

This. I'm actually quite amazed that nobody has done this already.

That game was surprisingly fun back in the day.

AutoDuel or Car Wars, oh yes.
I have a box of Car Wars books, tokens, maps, etc. in the loft. It's not been opened for... er... 25 years? Longer? Fuck I don't know. But the best Car Wars type game I can remember was Interstate '76, a much under-appreciated gem. Someone do it right, please.

Darkwind was fun for a while, but too punitive with too much daily maintenance. Definitely some cool stuff there though.

now that we're doing voxels again (sort of), VR Magic Carpet
(only slept 3 hours last night, so this is suspect, but it seems like a super awesome idea to me right now)

A sequel to Warhammer: Space Marine, damn that game was just a rush of smashy smashy shooty shooty fun.
Or some mythical game that incorporates Diablo's loot system with Dark Souls mechanics, and a compelling narrative.

Seven Cities of Gold has a fun mechanic even if you don't want to do the setting--a hex-based procedurally generated map that reveals one hex at a time through movement, etc.--somebody could do something brilliant with that basic idea but contemporary tools and polish.

That does look pretty, and it looks like the sort of game I'd pick up on a Steam sale, but it was really the gameplay of Space Marine that I loved.

You know what game I really loved the music and mood for, but it was hopelessly broken, was the old 4x Emperor of the Fading Suns. I tried some of the fan patches way back and they were good but didn't really make it fully functional. Would love an updated version.

That was a fun one. But just whenever a game started to get interesting, the bugs would corrupt the game and that'd be it. A straight remake with bug fixes would be enough for me; any modern quality-of-life improvements would be gravy.

The top of your head has a neckbeard. Also, there has been NO shortage of old fashioned dungeon crawlers (immediately springing to mind - Darkest Dungeon, Stranger of Sword City, both Legends of Grimrock, all the Etrian shit).

Isn't the Etrian shit all Weaboo stuff? Other than that, your point is valid.

If anything, my problem with the japanese dungeon crawlers has been that they're TOO oldschool, ie. they use mechanics straight out of 1980 for whatever weird cargo-cult reason. Whenever they try to innovate, it's either a move towards JRPGs with smaller encounters and grindy character development (cf. EO), or results in casualized nonsense with super-streamlined mechanics where you basically hold down one button for 99% of the combats in the game (cf. Demon Gaze). The genre needs an evolutionary leap, and the last time that happened was in 2001 with Wizardry 8. /sadf

Darklands has pretty much been at the top of my remake wishlist forever.
