Game series you think needs a reboot.

[Baron von Blitztank]

Blood.
Yeah Blood 2 wasn't that good but if Duke Nukem can return after 13 years in all his ass-kicking glory then why the hell can't Caleb do the same?

I came into this thread with the express purpose of saying Space Quest. I loved that game. I think I need to go and download it.

PSA: Speaking as someone who recently downloaded a King's Quest game: those old Sierra Games look way better through the lens of nostalgia than they do in the cold, harsh light of 2011. (YMMV.)

I'm someone who regularly plays DOS games, and will almost always choose a DOS game over a modern game.. But I know what you mean.

I think Spyro would be an awesome reboot. I grew up playing Spyro and that was the first game I played on a console, it would be awesome to see the first game in all its glory on the PS3 graphics engine.

So, what game series or game do you think should get a reboot?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Spyro is kind of already getting a reboot. And he looks like this...

The horror...

What is this... I don't even. What happened to the cute little purple dragon I knew and loved?!

The Chrono series.

Chrono Cross was somewhat okay, but the plot was one giant black hole and having 40 playable characters with cardboard cut-out personalities was a letdown, especially with Chrono Trigger's closely-knit party. Radical Dreamers was a good game. I have no idea how the supposed remake was worse.

The series has been dead ever since, aside from "Chrono Brake/Break" being trademarked a decade ago. I pray the dream team will eventually get together again and make a sequel more connected to Trigger.

And the worst part? SquareEnix sent cease & decease letters to two fan-made sequels, possibly the best fan games ever: http://crimsonechoes.com/ http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/ We would think they did this because they were working on an official game, but by the looks of things, they really don't give two shits.

"At E3 2009, SE Senior Vice President Shinji Hashimoto remarked "If people want a sequel, they should buy more!"."

...yeah, they really don't care.

Metroid, since Other M killed it and all.

No it did not. And above all, I wish never to see Metroid rebooted.

Also, Medievil, we need another Medievil, though, I'd prefer to see a follow-up not a reboot.
yes I am aware of the psp remake.

Oh my god poor Spyro, and that was the very first game I ever had and played on ps1 back when I got it in 98. Just got plus so playing Year of the dragon now, even after all these years Spyro is still fun. Sony should really have a company like naughty dog be in charge of a sequel.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Star Wars: Battlefront. I don't think I need to explain.

 

[Tanis]

Spyro
Crash Bandicoot

And...I can not stress this enough...COD/MOH.

 

[Rayne870]

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the old Metal Gear games remade into the current generation. I'd prefer to see a MGS3 reboot. The Star Wars: Battlefront games would be a great reboot also.

You're in luck MGS3 is coming to 3DS with added gimmick 3D /facepalm

 

[ScorpSt]

Ultima. Specifically starting at Ultima IV and making a more solid continuity.

 

[SillyGodDisco]

God Hand.

I want another....now.

 

[WorldCritic]

Jet Set Radio, the game series that taught me that even an uninteresting story can be forgiven if the gameplay is fucking awesome.

 

[Solo-Wing]

I think Spyro would be an awesome reboot. I grew up playing Spyro and that was the first game I played on a console, it would be awesome to see the first game in all its glory on the PS3 graphics engine. Some of the .hack games would also be good for a reboot.

So, what game series or game do you think should get a reboot?

You little ninjaing prick OP. Both Spyro and .Hack? DAMN IT!

Prince of Persia then.

 

[TheIr0nMike]

Rogue Squadron and Battlefront (or at least sequels that go beyond the films).

Also, they need to try something like Chromehounds again.

 

[Comrade Vlad]

Old style Resident Evil games instead of the FPS geared ones of today.

Star Wars Battlefront definitely needs to be picked up.

Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth should be remade and Destiny's End should be properly finished. That story was epic and never had a closing...

 

[wizard_joe88]

Defiantly Time Splitters, weren't the guys who used to make them bought out by Crytek and they were working on the Crysis 2 multi-player, and after that they were going to work on TS4? Because thats at least what I heard a while ago.
Other than TS, Metal Arms. Has any one here besides me played that game? It was this fun little halo knock off I think is 100% better the the Halo series, it was defiantly a hidden gem from the last console generation.
