What dead game do you wish you could play again?
- Thread starter Baphomet
- Start date
Came in here to say this exact thing and it's the first post!
I played an obscene amount of MGO2, it was so fun.
Definitely wish I could play Marvel Heroes. I played it for a bit as Nova and that was a blast. Never got to the end of the campaign though but it was a fun time. I think this was about a few months before they had announced that the game was shutting down, as well.
There was this social deduction game called Throne of Lies. It was a lot of fun but is sadly dead now.
That's a good one! Crazy times, played it for a good while a week or so into the release in Germany and it was something seriously special.
Man did I love messing around in this game. Capturing fortresses was so cool. Too bad it died
I also have a few that are more about experiencing it again than actually playing them, as most of the games can still be played
- playing games with my best friend back in school on his glorious 386, which was a beast of a machine back then. He died way to early and I still think of him and our time gaming together all the time
- Lan parties with my friends in the 90s, Half Life, Unreal, Quake... oh my
- The Monkey Island remasters on my iPad. They were perfect and I want them back!!!
this has been my wish for every Mar10 day since it was discontinued
There's a group that still plays Monday Night Combat on Steam, with full scrims every-other Saturday
It's mostly active on Discord. If you join chat on the steam group https://steamcommunity.com/groups/HotshotsForever you can probably get a Discord invite from someone
Lineage 2 retail before it went free to play and got completely ruined. Or Wildstar, I played as long as I could until they shut it down.
BROTHER! This was my first thought when I saw the title. So much potential. It was unique, perhaps too unique for the unwashed masses, but I still got about 60 hrs just playing the campaign across several of the characters.
Maannnn...
You can play Mechassault on Insignia. Not sure if there are any active players but you could play it online in theory.
NFL 2K5
NCAA Football '14
NBA Street Vol 2
I know there's emulators and PC mods to get them working and stuff, but like, I wish they just worked on modern hardware in an easy, boot up and play way with 100% feature parity to when they launched (e.g., online dynasty in the NCAA series... some of my fondest videogame memories are playing the NCAA Football series with my best friend in an online dynasty 15 seasons into the future. I remember playing '14 with my buddy, and we were in the 2023 or 2024 seasons in the game thinking "Jesus, in real life we'll be 40 in 2024..." and thinking how far off that is, and well, here it is, an me and him are anxiously awaiting the new College Football '25 game set to laiunch this summer).
I'd love another 1vs100, was really fun

Dead game: Fat Princess
Go back to the golden days pre hackers and normies played it too: titanfall 2

Evolve stage 2 was a lot of fun.
Assassin Creed multiplayer was SO GOOD. Kinda surprised after all those iterations that it never turned into anything for the franchise and just petered out. Considering it was a full separate launcher it needed to be its own platform or something.
I dunno if there's an appetite for it these days but some kind of greatest hits with maps/characters from all the previous versions would be really cool. Heck there's a lot of cosmetic stuff you could shove in there if you wanted to.
I just wanna sneak around in plain sight 😭

You can actually still play the story mode (if you have it on pc)
Just google battleborn project reborn.
So far only story mode works but mp is on the way.
Survival Crisis Z
Old indie, open map zombie survival gorefest.
Really fucking dope but it's kinda jank to get working on modern computers. If I could get it on my Steam Deck, oh man.

I don't have anything before the PS4 anymore, I guess what I'm really saying is I want a remaster on modern consoles.
Give me Project Justice and Skies of Arcadia while you're at it Sega and Capcom.
Splinter Cell Spies Vs Mercs, but specifically and only the original Pandora Tomorrow version.
Destiny circa The Taken King

It was fantastic and they released new characters and events so frequently that there was always something to look forward to. Still wish we would have gotten Jubilee before it all went down though
Early Xbox Live games such as Mech Assault and Moto GP with the original community. Everyone used their mics and were really nice, at least in the UK.
OG Quake, the CTF mod before they had any custom models added, when it was all just this brand new and insane thing to be playing online.
And Tribes 1 at its peak.

Maybe we'll get Super Mario Bros. 40 for the 40th anniversary. lol
Man... Fat Princess was so fun.
