It's rolling to a close, and do you take a moment of pause, and think, "Hey, what happened to game xyz???" What games from earlier generations do you regret did not (seemingly will not) make a reprisal appearance this generation?
Personally, I feel disappointed that Colony Wars did not come back for PS2. Yeah, it was a series that was rapidly headed down hill in its sequels of the PSX days. What I really would have liked to have seen was an honest in spirit attempt of the very first Colony Wars. A dozen times over I would have given up all that Star Wars franchise junk if I could have had another Colony Wars space opera, instead.
G-Police would have been nice, too, but I am not necessarily bothered by its absence.
I think another homage to Aliens for PS2 would have been sweet (but only because I'm a huge freak over that topic...and no, an orthagonal RPG of Aliens vs. Predators is not what I had in mind).
Pulling from waaaaaay back, I would have been overjoyed to see Space Hulks (from the 3DO days) make an appearance this generation.
As a sidenote, I would have liked to have seen an NFS in the same spirit as it debut on 3D0. They have taken the NFS series is many directions since then- some good, some bad. However, none of them seemed to have the same flavor as that first one. NFS2 was good, as well- worthy of a reprisal in spirit (with super-exotic cars that can be difficult, if not testy, to drive for better or worse design foibles).
Well, that's all I have off the top of my head. Please post in your "regretful absences of the generation".
