excellent game....

another MDK would be great... although i preferred the humour in the first one... the second degenerated into fart jokes and toilet humour...

There are some new Quest for Glory titles... and they did remake the first 2 (I think) into VGA versions.

I'd like to see Transport Tycoon remade.

I would love to see that too! Although you can get a glimpse of what it would look like here, if it were to be done.

HELL YES! System Shock 2 would be awesome, if it were done right. I can just imagine how much more eerie the atmopsphere would become if it used something like CryEngine 2! :D :D

You won't ever see a resemblance of your favourite game so no use wishing for a conversion. Rather wish for a company like bullfrog to come to existance again.. imo
I beg to differ; there's Tomb Raider: Anniversary, which IMO is an excellent conversion of the original and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

AFAIK, you can. Search for "Half Life: Source".
Oh ja, I forgot about that! I've never been able to play it as I think it was only available as part of the Orange Box which I didn't get because of the whole STEAM thing and my lack of a broadband connection...
I have Half-Life: Source and it's not as exciting as you may think, in fact I don't see any remastering at all? :? It just looks like the old levels being rendered by the Source engine.

Here's a screenie to see what I mean:

I'm thinking Diablo should be left alone unless they make a DRASTIC overhaul of the dynamic, but then it wouldn't be Diablo I suppose. I say that because I played Titan Quest which was a great Diablo clone on a modern engine and I got bored of it so quickly. I think the problem comes with the evolution of games which give so much variety in the gameplay.

Anyway, for fear of wondering OT, I would love to see Baldur's Gate 2 in the Oblivion engine, FP perspective.

FINAL FANTASY 7 the game is a rpg legend and by the ps3 tech demo we may just see that happening in a not too distant future(when square enix main development team have freed themselves of all current projects...aprox 5years)

When? Where?

I am not aware of any new QFG titles being produced after QFG V.

I agree with Jonboy. Titan Quest ain't got no soul.

And Hellgate London wasn't great either. Story was good but got boring quickly. Insanely mashing the mouse and filling tons and tons of bad guys has somehow lost it's appeal.

I found the colours were a bit bright, I ended up with a head ache after 10 minutes of playing this... or maybe it was because I only played it when I was sick... not sure now

Deus Ex 3 is in development at the moment. There is a trailer out, but no gameplay movies the last time I checked, which was about 3 months ago.
