What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

For example, for me, I would *love* a new Populous game based from what was done in Populous 3. That, and a new SimCity based on SimCity 4!

Wipeout. They can continue from Omega, it was great fun. Formula Fusion is a really cool spiritual successor by many of the original minds, but it's a little lacking in content.
Edit: lol, took me four hours to realise that continuing on after Omega rather ruins the title of that one
have you tried BallisticNG? very similar feel imo.
I was actually slightly put off by how tightly it looked like it was imitating the first couple of Wipeout games, like the UI being almost identical and a bunch of the teams being the Wipeout ones with the serial numbers filed off. Like they're unwilling to try their own ideas, you know? If it's so similar, well I can still play the old games. I assume you feel differently?
i think that's sort of the whole point. i mean the dev is called Neognosis. though i can definitely see how that could be unsettling if you're intimately familiar with the franchise, which i am not.
i had the pc version of 2097 as a child and i could never get the hang of it. too technical for a 9-year-old i guess. so i never really had any nostalgia for the specifics, i just saw Ballistic on sale and thought "hey that looks like wipeout, I wonder if they still have that weird floaty feel". it does feel like i remember, and after spending some time with it i really enjoy it even though i'm still no good 25 years later.
also they did add go-karts so it's not entirely plagiarized ;)
Hah, well maybe I pre-judged it too much. I'll keep an eye out for a sale on it
