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!

Are you the only person that likes Daikatana? I thought that game was pretty universally panned. I haven't played it myself, mostly because all I've heard is how bad it is.

Remaking a good game is stupid. Remake the bad games and give them another chance at success.

I would definitely want a reboot of Daikatana more than a direct continuation. Daikatana has a lot of cool ideas that just weren't realistically achievable when it came out, but certainly now are pretty easy to implement with modern development tools. The game has been "off the market" so to speak for so long that making a sequel would be stupid compared to just rebooting it entirely.
