Video Games You Wish Existed

[SkidAce]

There are technically a few others:

HROT - Very directly Quake inspired: Amid Evil - Actually Heretic 2 inspired but thus Quake-like: Gravelord - Sort of situated between Quake and Doom gameplay-wise with some modern elements too: Wrath: Aeon of Ruin - Literally runs on the Quake engine and very Quake inspired but people have opinions about it lol:
Basically Dusk is the only straightforward Quake successor I can think of, most of them mix it up with a number of other games and go for faster-paced more frenetic stuff which is less... Quake-y.

Painkiller was also a Quake spiritual successor but has since become kind of its own thing.

I missed some of those somehow.

Having recently come off a major Final Fantasy Tactics kick (via the Ivalice Chronicles remaster) ... I want an honest-to-God FFT sequel.

My wife really wants this to happen sometime too. It won't, I suspect, all the people who could make it are scattered, but I wish it would. I think even a fairly 8/10 by-the-numbers official sequel with a big campaign would sell insanely on the legend and nostalgia of FFT, so Square should really think on that.

There are a couple of decent FFT-ish indies but they always either don't have much of a campaign or try to really simplify the formula (which makes some sense, FFT is towards the complex end for indie game design in some ways), but I don't think any have quite nailed it (where Fire Emblem-likes have got closer).

Thinking of games that should happen but probably never will: Black & White 3. I know Molyneux's new game might scratch a significant part of that itch, but not the "giant AI monster" part. I may have already posted about this upthread but I still want a modern B&W successor set inside computers with a TRON-ish aesthetic called RGB. Naturally red would be "bad" , green "neutral", and blue "good" . You are still a god, but you are operating in this realm because the "real" world has becoming inured to miracles. And bit monsters and their transformations could be so freakin' cool.
