Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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!

I'd like them to give 'Z' (Bitmap Brothers) another go.

Not "revived" since it's still going, but I wish the mega man series would modernize. It's 2024, I get side scroller was megaman's thing but how I would love a modern, ratchet and Clank style platformer/open world where you go to different parts of the city to fight the different robots. But Capcom and most Japanese game companies are insanely opposed to modernizing and of making their games look current. Graphics wise they're always outdated

I'd really like to see another time-based drama similar to The Last Express. It had a lot of time-based events where you could run into particular passengers of the train in the hallways, and gained a strong sense of physical "presence" as people pushed past you in the halls using detailed rotoscope animations.

The Invisible Hours comes close - it's non-interactive, basically letting you play as a ghost cameraman watching the mystery.

Panzer Dragoon. I only played and finished Panzer Dragoon Orta for the XBox when it came out. I tried the included original game, but I had a hard time telling depth and perception with the old graphics.

+1 for Populous.

But my answer to this every time is Red Faction (1, specifically. While I did enjoy Guerrilla, I want to see a throw back to more fully destructible environments on next gen tech).

I really loved playing ps2 military shooters like SOCOM and Conflict Desert Storm. It would be fun to see how those games would be made today.

The Darkness.

Jackie Estacado fought through hell to save his girlfriend only for her to get bad touched by an angel and fly away leaving him there to Rot.

We never got to see that story finished.

None. We need less rehashes and more fresh IPs.

Post like this slow progress by letting devs think we want the same shit over and over.
