A little bored in work here today as there's nothing to do already, so thought I'd start a game thread to keep me occupied! Anyway, it's a wish list with a difference....
What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Mafia. For me it's the best PC game of all time, and even though it doesn't look bad, if it were remade using current gen tech, and perhaps adding in some current gen gameplay additions (like a Gears/Rainbow 6 cover system) it would make it even more amazing. Honourable mention has to go to X-Com Apocalypse though, I'd love to see that made using current gen technology.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Difficult choice, as I was tempted to say Mafia again. Probably would have to be Bioshock though. It was an exceptional experience that in hindsight I went through far too quickly (I had it finished the weekend it came out). It's been so long since I played it that I might well have forgotten bits, but it will never be quite as amazing as it was the first time.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
Another difficult choice as I tend not to play too many poor games, but I reckon X-Men on the 360 is right up there with the worst of them.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
It'd be Metal Gear Solid 4 for me. I've played the other three Metal Gear games (though never finished the 3rd after my save got corrupted near the end) and as I don't currently have a PS3 there's no chance I'll be playing it any time soon. Fingers crossed for an Xbox release at some point, as unlikely as it is.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Resident Evil 5. The new co-op mode should make the game even more enjoyable.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? :D
Left 4 Dead, really need to spend more time playing it as I've still only had one real session on it.
Feel free to add your own wishes as well :)

A. BF2 because it is the Best FPS Ever released & 64 man IO server are my Online gaming Heaven.
B. BF2, Same reasons.
C. Stalker, I waited for years & even had a sig made only to be let down dismally by the released game.
D. Dunno as I don't know any PS3 titles.
E. BF3. I can see a theme developing here :confused:
F. BF3, Can't wait to Teabagg the first mofo I see & then get shot because I am laughing to much only to exchange banter with whoever & laugh some more :cool:

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Little Big Adventure; it was just an amazing game which despite having quite basic graphics took you to a different world and frustrated the hell out of you. I was always astounded by how much atmosphere and fantasy could be created with so little tech.
Syndicate needs to be remade desperately, definitely one of the coolest games ever made!
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Thats a hard one, I actually really liked Guild Wars for the first few weeks I played it, fantasy RPG one of my favorite genres mixed with online play, but the problem is how seriously people take games like that and they soon become unappealing for the casual player, at least they did for me.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
I tend to turn games off quite quickly if I don't like them so there aren't many I remember, I was recently very unimpressed by FEAR but want to remember it or I'd buy it again!
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
Gran Turismo 3/4
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Alan Wake, GT5 (so I have an excuse to buy a PS3)
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread?
I have a hankering to go back and play Forza 2 from the start again, I picked it up last night and found I'd got to a point where it was getting tough and hence why I had put it down in the first place, I need to play from the beginning to see if I can develop the skills to get it completed

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Elite, quite possible the best space trading/combat game ever made. Some games have had a good go recreating the atmosphere of Elite, X series & Freelancer to name 2, but none match it. The only thing I would be worried about is if modern day graphics would ruin it, was it the wireframe graphics of the original that made it great or the storyline?
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
KOTOR 2, just to forget one of the best twists in a game I’ve played in years. :D
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
I’m going to agree with me bro here, I can’t remember many games that really stunk, but X-Men was one of them.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
I don’t really think there are any/many games on other formats that I think “must play” right now.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Mass Effect 2, and then 3 followed closely behind. Mass Effect is one of my all time favourite 360 games, can’t wait for the follow-ups.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? :D
Anything, because it would mean I’m not in work ;D

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Return to Castle Wolfenstein as it's just simply the best game ever.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
I'd have agree with Dave on Bioshock. After I completed it, I wish I'd gone about things differently. Maybe not have killed off the the girls. I was only really learning about the many different bio weapons too late in the game.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
DXII - was just awfull
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
GoW II with with added Physics and invcreased level design. As too Mirror's Edge.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Quite simply the next episode of Half Life.. Nothing on the horizon yet which as a shame.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? :D
Far Cry 2.. I'm 50% through and broke off with no pending missions so I can play catch up with a few others. I don't won't to rush through it so i thought a break would keep the interest alive. That said, I would like to be playing it now :)
What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Thief. It looks so blocky by today's standards and the collision detection wasn't quite perfect. I seem to remember you even had to mess with the settings so you could mouse-look! It could be made even more atmospheric with today's standards. I think this was one of the first games (after the godawful Trespasser) to utilise proper physics on objects. I definitely remember knocking boxes around accidentally alerting people to my presence. This could definitely be improved upon too.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
I'd again have to go with Thief and Thief II. Brilliant storylines. And Half-life. The first playthrough seemed like it would never end, and really like I was being hunted by everyone. You don't get that on replays.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
JSB called it. 18 months on pre-order and I'm handed a bunch of toss. STALKER. Far too many fundamental problems and, whilst not a truly bad game, the anticipation made for an epic let-down.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
That one on PS3 that's like Indy meets Tomb Raider. It has a very forgettable name but looks really good. I know you all know which one I mean so I'm not going to bother looking it up! :p
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
RE5 is a good shout. Had it on pre-order for a while. I seem to remember there may be a Dead Rising 2 in the works also.
Oh, and Duke Nukem Forever. ;D
Edit: Forgot about HL ep3 Huddy! Come on!
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? :D
Scene It. Just fancy a game of it right now!

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune I think it's called :)
What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Tough one, so many games that I'd love to see! I'm conflicted between Final Fantasy 7 (bit of an obvious choice for me) and Deus Ex. I'd probably lean towards FF7 though. Deus Ex would be great to see revamped but I probably wouldn't have the specs to play it anyhow :p I'd almost say Everquest but I don't think it'd work without the charm its graphics brought to it.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Final Fantasy 7! I'd love for it to be new and exciting again. However I'd also not like to lose the memories of when I first played it and the wonder I felt so that wouldn't really work. I have too many memories of that game connected with memories of my life at the time that I'd rather not lose. So I think it'd also have to be Bioshock as that game was such a great experience the first time round :)
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
Again, got to be X-Men on the 360.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
Final Fantasy Crisis Core or the Star Ocean game that's on the PSP, just my kind of thing but I can't afford a PSP so they'll just have to wait! Wouldn't mind Valkyrie Chronicles on the PS3 either.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Final Fantasy 13 :D
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread?
Hmm probably Quantum of Solace as I'm working my way through it again, forgot what surprisingly good fun it is, plus I get to stare at various pictures of Daniel Craig. Can't be bad :D

Just goes to show differing opinions. :D
Despite the bugs I really enjoyed STALKER. Another game maybe I could have played differently. Maybe not so nutural throughout as I was.

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Final Fantasy VII cos, well, it's Final Fantasy VII
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Final Fantasy VII (seeing a trend anyone?)
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
Fallout 3, it isn't necessarily bad, it's just so far departed from the original two i loved so much when i was younger. I've recently started playing the original again and i can safely say it isn't rose tinted glasses syndrome, the originals were just so much better.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
Only game i don't have access to that i want is Ninja Gaiden 2
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Final Fantasy XIII - as stated in another thread, what should be a great announcement that it will be released on both platforms turned out to be a huge dissapointment; that being that the PS3 release will be held back for a simultaneous release.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread?
Rock Band... speaking of which, toodles
What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Ultima IV. I lost so much time to this game as a wee nipper and would love to see a Garriott do a beautiful HD version of this isometric classic.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Everquest. That first 6 months was pure magic. The wonder of seeing new sites and meeting new friends. A time when it was an achievement just to get to level 20 and embarking on a big journey was a major upheavel. Once The Shadows of Luclin hit and fast travel was common place the game lost this magic but I'd love to do that first 6 months again.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
LOST. I have mental scars.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
If we're talking pie in the sky: Super Mario Galaxy. The only Wii game I'd come back to time and again.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Dragon Age: Origins on the 360. Ok, we'll meet in the middle and I'll take Mass Effect 2.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread?
Not Last Remnant... I'd be playing Prince of Persia though I'm still not sure what I think of it.
I'm really torn on the FF7 issue. A remake would be brilliant, no doubt, but.... well, it wouldn't be the FF7 we remember. A modern one wouldn't necessarily be better.
We'd lapt it up though of course. I'd lap up a simple re-release though tbh.

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
The two that popped into my head were Sid Meiers Pirates and UFO Enemy Unknown - both of which got remade in the last five years or so. It'll have to be Planescape Torment then.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Any of the Lucas Arts point and clickers. Once you've solved the puzzles once there isn't much replay value. The buzz comes from finally figuring out that the rubber chicken has pulley in the middle of it.;)
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
Any number of FPS's that got released in the wake of the first Doom.
Edit: No Gene Wars. That looked brilliant and then the difficulty curve was so bloody steep I never made it past the third or fourth level.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
Fable2. I'm not screaming out desperate to play it but between a Wii, DS, PS2and a PC I've got most things covered.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Duke Numer Forever?;D
Dawn of War 2 probably.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread?
Anything! I'm report writing today and it's doing my head in.
Warhammer Online or Elite Beat Agents. I meant to bring my DS in for lunchtime but forgot. :( I'm this close to beating the third verse of Jumping Jack Flash.
What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Kick Off 2. Yes this is a very old game but when you take out all the nice fluffy stuff in FIFA it's all about a game of football. Kick Off 2 was sublime at delivering a game that was beautiful by it's simplicity. This was one of my greatest experiences of multiplayer gaming. Not over the internet or LAN but just a bunch of mates sat playing a game of footy
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
I would love to see Desert Combat remade using the latest game engines. It was built on the Battlefield 1942 Game Engine so even back in the day, it began to show it's age very quickly. At the time it managed to strike the balance of serious game play, large open maps, vehicle and infantry combat. The most important factor was fun. It had the lot. BF2 gave it a close run for it's money but never really beat it in my opinion.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
Not necessarily bad but I just wish it wasn't there. WoW. So many times I have tried to get on board the big bad World of Warcraft bus. It's not that I don't see the point of it, in fact I do. What I can't do is invest the ammounts of time in it, to get anything out of it. WoW offers very little for the casual gamer (unlike City of Heroes. Awesome, Awesome Game)
Another one being Live for Speed. A very serious PC racer for very serious PC Racer fans. It borders on obsessive with these gamers. Basically shaving hundredths of a second off a lap time wash rinse repeat. infinitum. I don't know what's more boring, watching cars go round a track on TV or on a PC screen. Single biggest waste of my time and money ever
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
Waving my E Peen I have a good PC, X360, PS3 so nothing really exclusive that I can't really get.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?

Battelfield 3.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? :D
FIFA or Fallout 3

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Carmageddon. Quite simply this would be EPIC! Improved physics, better gfx, more power ups. Oh and proper multi player support. Was amazing fun playing 1 v 1 against my dad. Would love to go 8 or even 16 players at a time :)
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
For me this is easy peasy mcsqueasy - Deus Ex. Quite simply a stunning game with lots of different ways to play. Great story too.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
Destruction Derby 2 - awful, awful sequel. Took all the fun out of and turned it into a pure racer with stupid jumps
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
None really as I have 360/PC/PS3. Not even a single game on the Wii appeals....
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
Dead Rising 2 (if the rumours are true...). MOAR ZOMBIE MASH!
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? :D
Left 4 Dead - definitely :D Had muchos fun with it last night. That or Flatout Ultimate Carnage....

What game do you wish could be remade using todays technology, and why?
Desert Combat. The mod for Battlefield 1942 was so good that every other mod I've played on any game since (or before) has paled into insignificance. Better than Battlefield's 'Vietnam', '2' and '2142' all by some margin, it had brilliant maps, fantastic vehicles and franctic gameplay. The best feature undoubtedly the very tricky to fly Helicopters, which were sadly made far too easy to fly in subsequent games. That is personally for me, however I can think of games that would make a bigger splash if re-made, primarily Fade to Black and Parasite Eve, both of which were amazing, but definitely before their time. I've mentioned several games that fall into this catagory for me with Haly several times on MSN. :p.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Bioshock was brilliant, and an absolutely thrilling journey through gaming, so that's definitely a nominee. Max Payne 1 and 2 are also ones I would love to experience, but only if they were on a par with technology from today. If technology being on a par is allowed, then definitely Half-Life. For me personally it's the most important game ever made.
What game do you wish you could forget simply for how bad it was?
I want to say Half-Life 2, because it has tainted the brilliance of the first one and was the biggest let down of anything I've played and relied far too heavily on the gravity gun leaving the game feeling like too much of a physics showcase rather than a game on a solid foundation. I've played worse games obviously, but HL2 being the disappointment is was has made me as angry as any game.
What game do you wish was available on your format that currently isn't?
I have all formats currently so I don't really know what to say. To go back to a format I didn't have would be the master system, so Alex Kidd.
What game do you wish would just hurry up and get released?
I'm predictable. Alan Wake.
What game do you wish you were playing instead of reading this thread? Alan Wake ;D. For games that are out, probably Fallout 3.
What game do you wish you could forget, just so you could experience it again like new?
Everquest. That first 6 months was pure magic. The wonder of seeing new sites and meeting new friends. A time when it was an achievement just to get to level 20 and embarking on a big journey was a major upheavel. Once The Shadows of Luclin hit and fast travel was common place the game lost this magic but I'd love to do that first 6 months again.
Oooh good call :) Really was something special pre-Luclin. I remember trying to reach level 15 so I could join a friend's guild and it was such a huge accomplishment to get there as it took so long! And how dying in the mid 30s meant you'd lose a good couple of hours work. Oooh and hell levels.....really that game was very unforgiving at times but I loved it so!
I remember travelling from Grobb to Overthere with some friends and it really did feel like an epic undertaking to be able to do that. Nothing like the ease of travel that WoW has.
