I would settle for Half Life 2: Episode 3 like the original plan. I don't need a new engine with ray tracing and HDR and whatever new shit they would want to throw in. Just make the final entry of the story in the old engine. I just want to play it. Finish the goddamn story (and I refuse to read the story that was leaked a while back. I want it for real.)
It's a meme, but Half-Life at least recently got a new entry. Don't get me wrong, i would LOSE MY SHIT if Half-Life 3 released, but another Portal entry would make more sense.
For real though, what do you think his game was? My guess it was a 2k series or Sports but would love if it was PowerStone or Virtua Tennis. Both stole so many hours and gave me the best memories. Skies of Arcadia too even though I'm more of a Grandia 2 fan.
Powerstone was a surprisingly effective and fun fighting game that I'm surprised never came back in any way. the NFL 2K games were how I started even caring about sports.
Grandia was a great game, but it was just barely too linear for me. you never return anywhere, and there's no real exploration outside of the game path (unless you count going back to the field to get the joke weapons). Skies' main issue is the battle system.
Now stay with me, but what if the enemy system from Grandia (where they're on the map and you can "surprise" them, and they can "surprise" you) were in Skies instead of the random battles that made going through the Temples (anywhere combat area really) a pain in the rear.
Dude was trying to find sailors in Shenmue for sure!
... but seriously being a football coach it was probably NFL 2K, when the Dreamcast came out those games were so much better than Madden on the first Playstation.
Only thing that's keeping it from being truly great is the soundtrack being lower quality. But I hope we get a proper remaster with better textures and QoL options.

I was already going to vote for Harris, but if Walz makes remastering Skies of Arcadia part of the platform I might actually go knock on some doors for them.
I don't think he'd be able to force cross-platform back-compatibility, so unless Sega gets in the console game again, he still wouldn't be able to play Dreamcast games.
It's such a weird gotcha. Anyone in their 40s right now would had been 10 in the 90s. They grew up playing games, and are probably still playing games right now. So good job alienating half the population.
My Dad is Tim's age. It was mainly because of us but he definitely spent a ton of time playing Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 in the late 90's and has played most of the Assasins Creed Games.

So, Charlie, what you're saying is we'll finally have a gamer in the white house.
I don't think this is the "gotcha" you think it is.
