Stop predicting and stealing my thoughts! It's creepy!PieBrotherTB said:

What game series would be completely ruined with a gritty reboot?

I`m leaning myself out of the window but i like to point out a game that isn`t even released yet.
The change of an upcomming TPS from Insomaniac. Overstrike turned to Fuse. I`m pretty sure you people remember the nice, charming trailer for Overstrike? That was the game i was waiting for not the shooter that reminds me of the GoW franchise.
The original trailer did get so much positive feedback, i still don`t get the change (i know that Insomaniac stated that it`s their own choice, but it smells fishy, like EA).

Max Payne - wasn't the entire point tracking down those responsible for his wife/baby's murder?
Mass effect - It's not a reboot but some sort of prequel/continuation. The last thing players need are more plotholes to mess up the already messed up ending. If it's a prequel they will still somehow have ammo

Yeah, while 2 and 3 were certainly a little darker in tone than the first I would hardly call that a gritty reboot. It was still a colourful platformer with a wisecracking side kick and a pretty good sense of humour. It was hardly Jak Ops: The Line or anything.Fiz_The_Toaster said:Jak was funny and awesome.The Tall Nerd said:
So, the opposite of that.

Hell I'll just say it's all of them and call it a day. Thank god it never happened to Just Cause, or Star Wa-

I actually like your idea, instead of ducking behind the shield when you pressed on the peddle, the fringe would swing forward to protect you.riccyd said:
Ok, my choice would be Valkyria Chronicles. Imagine if you will, the awesome watercolour graphics replaced with the dirt and brown spectrum on modern modern shooters, Welkin Gunther goes from normal (for a JRPG) guy fighting to protect his country who just so happens to have a famous military father. To a harden military man trying to break out of the shadow of his famous father while swearing repeatedly and not caring about anything but "the mission", which is to rescue his sister that has been captured by the bad guys.
Mother fucking Bubble Dizzy man!
Though actually, the cover is a lot more bad ass than I remember.
Look how happy that egg is man!

While not techinically a game im certain there was an episode in the pokemon TV series in which Ash died. I don't remember much about the episode but the premise is certainly much darker than the other episodes.Terminate421 said:
I think the only deaths have been in the movies.johnnyLupine said:
He did however come across Marik Ishtar from the Shadow Realm (Not really but I like to think that):

The whole franchise has taken extremely dark steps at points. Believe it or not, in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, suicide is talked about, not in the same term but the ending is dark as black construction paper in the middle of the night. It's done relatively well and unforgettable, but comes right out of nowhere.
LIMBO.
Fairly recent, I know, but we don't need any more explanation than what it described itself as. If it got a gritty reboot (in a sense) it'd probably be some mutant kid with a dislike for human life trying to survive in a cross between a wasteland and Bloody Trapland and not giving a single shit, alongside with having an overblown story. LIMBO was one of those games that was okay without too much of a story, which was essentially just a reason for the ending.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Metroid prime wasn't quite a gritty reboot, but it was a certainly darker than the 2d games. And yet it still has the best atmosphere in any Metroid game.Zenn3k said:

Although...now that I think of it, that wouldn't ruin the series. It'd be incredibly hilarious, since the games never had any real depth (Aside from just being fun platformers...and then racing games...and then flying combat games...and then an actual racing game that was nothing but racing, not just a few levels on a motorbike).
