I would argue that it isn't a PiD2 that we are yearning for, its a chance to "re-live" the excitement of the first, be it through a port, or through a similar title.
I myself have been inspired to look into creating a re-make (though i'll admit it's to improve my own skills, not to serve the community, that being said, if i ever got anywhere with it, i'd release it free of charge).
I'm only 18, and even I can say I remember "The good old days", when game creators were more focused on user experience, then how much adrenaline they can squeeze out of teenage boys. PiD doesn't even resemble what we call "fps" games these days.
I recently was parted with my own PC, and hauled the old Mac out of my garage. I've spent the last few days enjoying PiD once again, and still value it highly in my list of "top 10 games".
To think that the best games (in my opinion) are often programmed by one or two creative people (For instance the original Prince of Persia, Jordan) is incredible, and I feel it's a real loss to the game industry to see huge teams of graphic designers focused solely on the visual. (Bit hypocritical since i'm applying to 3D Digital Animaion degree, but I stand by my point!)
