- Thread starter The Praiseworthy

Golden Sun
Oh hell I really miss Golden Sun and I don't see Nintendo ever bringing it back
(Fuck Dark Dawn though)

Wipeout for Playstation is a huge one for me. Its been around since the beginning of psx, and its such a fantastic game. A close second is Evolve. While not that old, I long for the days when its playerbase was at its peak, and I can only dream what it would be like today.
Max Payne and Viva Piñata. Ryse too, even if it only had one game. Lost Oddyssey, Jak and Daxter.
The series I got used to having consistently are the ones I feel the absence of worst, feels like. Like Castlevania and Mega Man. And honestly it's been long enough with Etrian Odyssey it's starting to get that way.
Ouendan's definitely one that comes to mind otherwise, shame that we got three great games on DS... and then Inis went on to do other stuff I haven't heard good impressions of and never came back to it.
Also, Pikmin 4 seriously needs to surface finally...

Oh man, I actually COULD go for a Tactics A3... (The plot and characters of A2 were definitely incredibly lacking, but it was still a ton of fun to play IMO. So a shame that the series just vanished entirely on us.)
I REALLY miss these two series:
Metroid Prime
Tomb Raider (Core)
They provided a feeling of isolation and wonder without ever being overtly dark per say, always having this mystical atmosphere. I constantly pop back into both of these series' various games still for that atmosphere fix.

Wipeout on PS is a big one. It was a huge reason why I stuck with the brand. It was great having the Omega Collection on PS4, in VR no less, but I'd played all those tracks to death before the Omega Collection was even a thing. I would love to see a new big budget entry into the series.
My Top 2 have already been said (Final fantasy tactics and Wild Arms). God would they get my money quick for either.
Beyond that, a new Ape Escape has so much potential given the advancements in graphics, online play, etc. And it hurts my heart that we will never see a Viewtiful Joe 3.

I loved this game back than, I still have the disc with the name Twinsen's Odyssey
Oh god don't send me down this hole. Nothing hits like OSRS music. There's such a weird melancholy feeling that I get with no other game.
Get nae nae'd!
I just started playing again and this is one of the newer tracks, they still got it.
Ridge Racer. Glad Ace Combat is back for now at least, but it's RR's time Namco!
Also going to ditto Front Mission, going to replay 3 at some point this year and I want a proper entry so bad. But Square Enix is determined to not make anymore srpgs it seems aside from their mobile game.
Parasite Eve too.

For me, defo F Zero, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Turok and Timesplitters are great examples.
There's a few games that their franchises have warped a little bit, that I kinda consider them lost to a degree. The new titles can be great but kinda far removed in a way that what pulled those nostalgia strings is no longer part of the franchoe. I'd say Baldurs Gate, Fallout and Final Fantasy for me those were my favs growing up.

Yep. It's an entire genre near enough MIA. The worst thing is they're very seldom preserved or available to buy on modern storefronts or systems either. It's like a double whammy.
Ridge Racer, Wipeout, Motorstorm, Blur, Burnout, Sega Rally, Daytona, F-Zero, Wave Race, Project Gotham Racing.. if any one of those got revived in some form this year then it would be a good year.
I can't get into the game again like I used to. I always play it for a week or two and then unintentionally drop off, which makes the game even more nostalgic knowing I will never experience that level of commitment with it again.
Jak and Sly. I love almost all of the Ratchet games made since the PS2 era. It's a shame that Jak and Sly have been left behind.
(That being said, I adore Uncharted and The Last of Us and I like/love the inFAMOUS games and Ghost of Tsushima in varying degrees. I just wish someone like Japan Studio or Sumo Digital would get a swing at one of the classic PS2 character platformers.)

Although it's more of a subfranchise than anything, my vote is and will always be Resident Evil: Outbreak titles. I would very much enjoy revisiting that series on modern platforms and see a new title. And of course, Dino Crisis. But a real Dino Crisis, not whatever the heck the most recent one was supposed to be.
