Worst thing that could happen to your favorite franchise

[Grey_Focks]

Making a prequel trilogy

Making it pay2play (looking at you, Diablo)

an eastern made game being remade by the west, or vice-versa.

 

[ezeroast]

Thanks to George Lucas, the worst thing that could possibly happen to my favorite franchise already has.

Star Wars or Indiana Jones?

Both?

 

[Connosaurus Rex]

get taken over by EA

RIP Mercenaries

and command and conquer

Agreed, though Generals was eh the others are WAY BETTER. I miss games like Yuri's Revenge.

 

[drisky]

Fire Emblem continuing to just make remakes, moving backwards in story telling and gameplay rather than forwards.

I really didn't like Shadow Dragon.

...it.. stops...?

I really didn't like Shadow Dragon.

Amen to that.
But I was gonna say Revive items.

I agree. Indiana Jones was raped in front of my eyes and I just sat their and watched...

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY!!!??? Why bring aliens into a series entirely about religious artifacts? Why not use some other random holy relic like the shroud of Turin or something else? Why did you have to do it Lucas? I trusted you!!!!!!!

 

[GrimTuesday]

Well you could give the main caracter an annoying aprentice... fuck you Lucas

Or you could have the kombatants start fighting DC people and dont include the best caracters... Boon you son of a *****

Evil Dead, without Bruce Campbell.

Seriously, they were thinking of making a remake of the first, without the character of Ash.

Furious fan reaction (Most of it mine) made them axe the project.

When Bruce Campbell dies (which he won't, he is after all Bruce Campbell) Evil Dead dies.

exactly that movie wouldn't be half as funny if bruce wasn't in them!

 

[Paperplanes79]

Making the protaginist all emo and edgy. Warrior within a swift kick to the nuts to all PoP fans.

George Lucas

 

[acebrainbuster]

it already happend....squaresoft turned into square enix...or the other way around

 

[sailor_960]

Making another Star Wars trilogy. Clone Wars was bad yes, but some of the new show's better bits (and Gendy Tarikofsky's [sp?] epic) kinda balance that one out.

 

[MessiahElephant]

Turning Final Fantasy into a 1st-person shooter with aliens trying to take over Earth. And included quick-time events. And got rid of all the color and character development. And got rid of androgynous teenagers.

 

[Small Waves]

beatmania IIDX: PSP

It's happened to Pump It Up and pop'n music, so I wouldn't be surprised if my paradise were to be caught in the air raid I like to call "stupid awkward ports that should have never existed".

 

[w1ndscar]

Doomsday Arcade getting cancelled.

 

[Obrien Xp]

Make it into a MMORPG.

Same for Warcraft.

OH, WHY BLIZZARD WHY!!!

The game wasn't that bad but they butchered the lore imo.

but its there lore to butcher. and honestly most of the pre-Arthas story lines read like rejected sections of silmarillion fan fiction used to scrape dragon dung off the dungeon floor.

but generic fantasy is generic and easy to follow. wotlk was nice, bc didn't really live up to what I was anticipating. But how much could happen in 10 years between wc3 and wow... it was hard to catch up on for someone who likes to know all the little details about every little building he sees out in the woods.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

It already happened to mine.

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts was made.

At least the rest of you get to have high expectations for your various franchises.

 

[Generator]

If they tried to turn a little purple dragon who glides around and spits flames into a "hardcore" version of himself who looks like a moron and essentially becomes a terrible God of War clone.

Have you guys noticed that most of our "ways to ruin a series" have already been ruined? It's incredible how many great series have been ruined over the years...

 

[Jzolr0708]

Making Bioshock 3 outside of Rapture.

Making an Assasin's Creed where we actually have to pay attention to Desmond.
