If you could resurrect 1 dead game and restore its playerbase back to its former glory, which one would you pick?

The esport scene is dead, not the game.

wc3

UT2004

...

is this even a question?

i dont know
normally I'd say command and conquer
but todays faggot ass "gamers" wouldnt appreciate it/deserve it
I guess I'll just go with Kotor/a good Star Wars rpg

Dark Age of Camelot

I want to cry..

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory hands down.

Make it two and i'll add Quake 2.

Most deserving, no doubt.

I don't know why liked this piece of shit so much.
A friend made me buy and play it 6 years ago, what a piece of crap.

>i dont get why people dont like the same games i do

extreme replayability and customization mostly

and the story and endgame actually started to get pretty great in the last few years

This. Preferably the custom games community. Map makers will come where people are.

Dead game = game Sup Forums doesn't like.

SC2 isn't dead.

Neither is the esports scene. Smaller =/= dead

MAG

This. 1000x this.

Star Wars: Galaxies

easy choice

...

I would kill for this game around the time of factions. Runescape pre Jagex becoming Jewgex would be a very close second.

Phantasy Star Online Episode 1+2

Had fun while it lasted on this too.

This, fuck NCSOFT for life. Shoot all NCsoft employees on sight. Burn all NCsoft assets.

If Nostalrius wasn't coming back Id say vanilla wow.
I actually tried playing champions online recently. The game suffers from all the usual modern mmo problems.
Too much instancing, too much teleporting to the missions for you ect.

>Hellgate
>having any glory at all

This game died for a reason man.
So many fucking stupid flaws and design decisions.
Lets not let players respec through any way whatsoever.
Lets also make our skill tree an unreadable mess.
Want to know how much damage that skill costs or WTF it even does? Better look up videos and research a build!
Fuck that game could have been great with longer development and more polish because the basic combat was pretty decent.

But it's shit

Timesplitters

Revive it then immediately kill S2Mallken so he doesn't ruin everything.

This.

Some of the developers even went back to the game and fixed most of its problems in the last year or so, but since the hype was gone it didn't bring people back. It deserves to be played again.

Planetside 1, no question.

Warcraft 3

This is the only valid answer

...

store.steampowered.com/app/366440/

that's entirely hirenz and their reputation's fault though

You misunderstand user, you can only choose 1 game, so choose wisely

that feel when i love vanilla but i cant handle the shitty combat anymore- it genuiniely feels like cookie clicker to me

Ultima Online

Dead Nation desu

Doesn't matter to me whose fault it was that the game's community left, what matters is that it's fixed now and people should be playing, but they're not.

Guild Wars.

Shattered Horizon.

I just want some decent 0G shootan

>40.000k players
Why wouldn't you just say 40,000,000 you britbong turbo nerd?

Red Dead Redemption. Shit was chill

Of course not, even I don't believe you. It isn't the only mistake hi-rez made. How could they possibly have fixed the game.

This game had some serious balance issues, but was fun as hell.

i want a pay 2 play planetside gayme

Fallout 1/2.
and
Ultima Online.

Street Fighter 4. I got in on the last 2 years of it's lifespan. I was just gitting gud when everyone jumped shit to V.

I don't know exactly what it is, but I don't enjoy V at all. It feels clunky and bad.

>everyone jumped shit to V
Only fags jumped on V and the scene babies

>read the plot on nova campaign

What the fuck is this shit.

Tribes.

I never even played it and I'd pick Tribes.

A reboot is needed so very much.

Tremulous

I'd say Lineage 2 Interlude but that's not really dead. All I need to do is learn russian and enjoy playing with Ivan.

Glad its dead. Never had fun playing it.

>I got in on the last 2 years of its lifespan

No Street Fighter game has been great out of the gate people only fondly remember the last 2 years of 3 and 4 but not suffering through Vanilla 4 and New Generation. The good times will come again you just have to be parient

Since the community left they've done a lot to fix the game.

>added a server browser and custom server support
>nerfed weapons like the Jackal, Eagle, sniper rifles, and Plasma Gun
>reduced classes from 9 to 3, increasing loadout freedom
>rebalanced classes
>added a new map or two
>added a few new weapons
>tweaked all weapons
>tweaked the way that explosives work
>tweaked physics and stats for armor classes
>removed the perk system and made perks inherent to the three classes or universal to make playing a variety of roles at once possible

basically all of the game's problems fixed

WARCRAFT 3: THE FROZEN THRONE CUSTOM MAPS

except the cash shop

How to learn Russia?

Guild Wars.

Pre-patch bullshit which ruined it, of course.

Studio is effectively dead and Activision doesn't give a fuck

easily this

Ya know what really killed this? God god awful, abysmal engine with its 20 minute load times. And how could I forget the official response, "get an ssd". Naw, fuck that, at one time it became completely unplayable, the caching and precaching and whatever the fuck it was doing was taking so long, the server would time me out every single time.

And then they abandoned it. At least Subnautica is great. If you care to wait the 15 minutes initial loading screen.

...

No, they totally changed the progression system. Unlocks cost virtually nothing now, gold is only for cosmetics.

UT2k4. The entire eSports scene would be built around it too because fuck every other game.

tell me what is it
COOP general in starcraft 2
?? whats the point how its played?

And my sadness at this point increased further...

What the fuck were they thinking with Prototype 2? Surprised I sat through that piece of crap. Heller was the worst, most unrelatable protagonist I've ever played as. It's hard to fuck up a DAD WHO WANTS TO SAVE HIS DAUGHTER character, but they sure did. And that's just the story problems.

FFXI, bar none. Of course that's probably just the 12 year younger me talking. Don't have the time for that shit anymore.

Fuck the haters, I'm with you user.

Nothing still feels as good as running through hordes as a melee character in that game. FSS should have never got in bed with EA and the Koreans.

is nost coming back the elysium thing? When is it dropping?

There are coop missions you can play with friends. Fun fact, there are actually more people playing coop missions than actual ladder games. Its very popular.

UT99

I wanna say Final Fantasy XI but knowing the direction it will eventually take is depressing. If it stayed on course with it's hardcore leveling system and solo unfriendly exploration then hell yeah I'd do it in a second.

I liked it
youtube.com/watch?v=NuS6ZJrfZXQ

It was bad, but I miss the days of me and my mates just sitting around, grinding flax, running through the wilderness, getting hype when my friend got the crystal bow.
Good times.

Star Wars Galaxies as long as it was remade with better graphics and combat

Don't forget turning Virus Mercer from a anti-hero (as opposed to the infinite douchebaggery of the real Alex Mercer)...INTO SOME LUNATIC THAT WANTS TO TURN PEOPLE INTO MORE OF HIMSELF. The tie-in comics don't help here either.

Seriously, I wanted to see Alex to look for Pariah and see how extraordinarily bad it would look.

Y'all niggas don't even know

Came here to say this, I'm glad someone else did

thx, i dont have friend with sc2 ,...

Bring back Blacklight: Retribution, I want my cyberpunk wth mechs f2p game back. Hell bring back Neotokyo and Dystopia, I need my chrome future.

I kind of wanted to buy that game but knowing it was going to be released in the same timeframe as Overwatch just meant it was doomed.

~ToAU era was a great time. Aside from Colbri camping 24/7

I still listen to the Whitegate theme occasionally. Abyssea was fun for a long while for me and my dwindling LS. But it clearly felt like another game all together.

I really wish SE would have given this game the justice it deserved. Not what it has become.

It's not dead, ever heard of old school runescape?

Warcraft 2 and 3
ultima online

>NeoTokyo

Not dead, but yeah, not alive exactly either.

And you can't just jump in to play, because these are people who have over 1000h of gameplay and know literally everything about every map and how to play them so good luck enjoying shit.

NT in Unreal 4 or the proper usage of Unity or even Cryengine - shit, what I wouldn't give for that.
