Dream Game Releases

All gamers have an informal list of games they wish they could play newer, updated versions of. In some cases, that may just be an HD remake, as Square Enix has done twice this year. For others it’s a sequel to a much loved game; a continuation to a story. Where are our favorite characters now? Below I have compiled a list of 5 games that I’d love to get my hands on if they were ever released. (Most of these are unlikely, and probably impossible but you never know!)

1.       Left for Dead 3! Left for Dead was an amazing game for both PC and Xbox 360. In 2009 Left for Dead two was released with a whole new cast of characters, new special infected and even the addition of melee weapons. This zombie hack and slash/shooter is highly re-playable. The story is set up into various campaigns. There are various different game modes and DLC maps that have people still playing the game with their friends five years later. Also, there are a ton of maps that users have created to switch things up a bit. Maybe this is why Valve hasn't pushed forward with a Left for Dead 3? This sequel to a sequel would have many devoted fans practically throwing money at Valve.

2.       Final Fantasy 7 Remake. A simple port has already been released by Square Enix on the PC and Playstation network. Many would like to see Cloud, Aerith, Tifa and the others outgrow their pixels. It has already been said by the company that a remake is VERY unlikely but not impossible. Sadly, we won’t be seeing it anytime soon.

3.       Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core Remake for the PS3/PS4/Vita. Crisis Core has to be one of my favorite games of the franchise. The story, characters and battle system are all incredible. While I’d prefer taking the game to my HD TV, I’d still settle for a Vita release with cleaner graphics, faster loading times and the ability to skip cut scenes (which would be extremely useful after you've lost to a boss and have to watch the same scene over and over until you've practically memorized it, or is that just me?). Heck, I’d be happy if they just ported it to the PS3/PS4 so I could play on a larger screen.

4.       Pokemon Remake. I’m positive that the Pokemon hype is not going to die down anytime soon, especially after the huge success of Pokemon X and Y. I’d like to see the same mechanics as X and Y but with an old Pokemon game. A lot of fans want to see a Hoenn remake, but I’m fine with any of the former regions being upgraded to the glory of 3D graphics and easier IV breeding.

5.       An Online Multiplayer Sims Game. A while back this was a thing. It was called Sims Online. I never had the opportunity to play it, but I did get to see screenshots. You are basically playing Sims but your neighbors are other players online. I don’t know exactly how this would work, or why the Sims Online was cancelled in the first place but I do know a lot of Sims fans would love to relive something like this. There are a ton of social Sims players who have blogs, and actively contribute to the Simming community. The Sims developers have made small steps to include online social interactions between the players, so this could be a possibility. I don’t think we’d be seeing something like this too soon though, especially because The Sims 4 is being released soon and a lot of resources are being put into that.
