Let's hope they can add some of that MicroProse magic.

Harsh Doorstop? Are they running out of names? 😂

To be honest, what I've seen so far from the new games I'm not very exited, exept maybe that ww2 taskforce game.

Me: BRING ON TRANSPORT TYCOON II!

My Brain: Let's remember Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and all the other post Microprose RCTs. Do we want to do that again?

Bit of a mixed bag of upcoming titles, but certainly on brand. I particularly like the look of the two old school tactical shooters. Early access is a bummer; I've walked that path too many times. But I'll follow progress.

You hit the nail here.

Seriously, I'm hoping for resurrection of flight sims with non-punishing realism, dynamic campaign (or at least randomly generated mission), and career mode; something like Gunship 2000 or F-15 Strike Eagle III. Such an empty hope.

Well at least we still have the nostalgia thread here.

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

I'd hope for a really good remake of Pirates... the 200x one was quite mediocre. But the rights are probably with Firaxis/2k anway... Also a F1GP remake for modern systems would rock...
