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

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!

Burnout, but takedown style, NOT paradise/open world

It's insane I can't just have a game where I can do ridiculous crashes and uses cars as bullets.

Butnout: Paradise was the good shit

But they took out crash mode. Yeah, you could crash whenever in the open world, but I loved the puzzle game aspects of the old crash mode.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What kind of mode is that ?
'Cause there was a mode you were scored on the amount of mayhem you caused.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They had pre-arranged intersections with set traffic patterns and multipliers and stuff scattered about, so it was a puzzle as well as a driving challenge.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

oh that's cool !

Crash mode was sort of like Angry Birds but with exploding cars and 10x the production value. You’d get score multipliers for causing the most damage possible.

NOT ~~paradise~~/open world

Jeez, I am with you in this one, what is wrong selecting tracks and having less open world games in general?

[–] iamthewalrus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This is my number one gaming wish. The old school burnout games were great! Couldn’t get into Paradise and all the driving around in between races.
