Games (series) that should be or need a reboot

AK DRAGON · 01-21-2012, 01:18 AM

I didn't see a thread on this so here it goes

What games do you wish would be updated/rebooted/sequel/prequel?

Here are some of mine

Mechwarrior would have been added thought it's in the process of being rebooted now
MechWarrior Online

I'd say X-Com but it looks to actually be getting it so instead:

Master of Orion
Wing Commander (or they could just finish the new trilogy they started with 5...that would be nice)
Master of Magic

Baulders Gate.

I was really disappointed that a 360 version was never released. The top down hack n slash rpg genre really disappeared in the latest console gen. Maybe diablo 3 will resurrect this great genre.

A proper reboot, that new Ubisoft crap doesn't count

Again, Bioshock doesn't count

There's this Elemental game from Stardock, but apparently they really, really screwed it up and released a barely playable game. They're making an improved version of it though, so I'd keep an eye on that one

The original single player game never got a proper sequel (the disaster that went by the name Unreal 2 certainly doesn't count)

I'd love a reboot/rework of sorts for the Dynasty Warriors series.

I have 1 through 6, and aside from graphics, some game features, characters, etc. it's the exact same game and interface. I'd love a more in-depth editor for character attributes and weapons. A new HUD would be welcomed as well.

Granted, I've yet to pick up 7.

You're the last person I'd expect to be into the Dynasty Warriors series.

7 is better than 6, even if it's not saying all too much. The story mode IIRC seem to almost follow history, like say, if you choose Shu, then play Changban, you control Zhao Yun, then switches to Zhang Fei. Plus the Jing faction is a great addition.

Have you tried the other spinoffs? Samurai Warriors (Japan equivalent), Warriors Orrochi (crossover of both), Gundam (haha) etc. Koei have made so many variations of the same gameplay.

Do the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam series count?

I think I might treat myself to DW:G3, as I loved the ever living hell out of 1 and 2.

Bloody_Inferno · 01-21-2012, 09:38 PM

Also another game that needs a makeover:

EDIT: And since Chrono Trigger got an iPhone release, this needs a reboot also:

It certainly does count, and I too loved DW:G2 and 3.

And I think this may interest you:

Rock4ever · 01-21-2012, 10:05 PM

Legacy of Kain ( not the raziel ones)
Jet Force Gemini
Blast Corps
RC Pro AM
Alpha Centauri
Planescape Torment
Metal Gear Solid 1

Would also like to see a spiritual successor to Legend of Zelda 2 that plays like God of War

All of these may be added to my list.

I don't think Ubisoft gets what made the Heroes games great at all.

I've never played a Dynasty Warriors that wasn't a ton of fun. I love the series.

Evil genius.

And the OLD spyro's,

Gateway to glimmer was amazing.

And the Old Crash Bandicoots..

You just hurt my soul severely, Baldurs gate 3 was just a name drop and terrible excuse for a game, disgracing the gold box glory that was BG I and II

You can't reboot some of the best RPGs ever.

Captain Axx · 01-22-2012, 11:00 AM

Definitely the old spyro games, and i agree with pooluke (awesome name btw) gateway to glimmer was amazing.

i know syndicate is getting a reboot, but it's a shooter, instead of a tactical rts game. which i'm quite disapointed with.

Adam Of Angels · 01-22-2012, 11:06 AM

Shining Force
Castlevania (in listing this, I mean to say that we need a current/future gen Symphony of the Night/RPG from the series)
Final Fantasy (bring back the open map roaming or go away)

A big hells yeah to the Heroes needing a reboot, I lost interest after 3. 1 is a huge favorite of mine given the awesomr cloud of blood that happens when you kill a guy.

Legend of Dragoon would be fantastic to see with a reboot and on 360 vs just PS3; that game was the ....ing tits.

beneharris · 01-22-2012, 01:19 PM

final fantasy needs a severe reboot. they haven't been very good since FFX. they need to do away with the active battle system and go back to turn based.

also I wouldn't mind seeing an HD version of the dark forces games.

biohazard battle. did anybody play that game? that was pure perfection when it comes to those side scrolling ship shooters. a current Gen version of that ggame would be amazing

edit: shinobi. that is all

I didn't know there WAS a Baldur's Gate 3. Metacritic doesn't seem to be aware of its existence either.

There was a hack and slash baldurs gate game for consoles, not really BG3, but it used the name baldurs gate: dark alliance (not 3), but you could tell they were trying to ride the coat tails of an epic game

Guitarmiester · 01-22-2012, 02:52 PM

I'm probably alone on this one since I doubt anyone's heard of it, let alone played it.

Revolution X for Sega. This game was ridiculously cheesy but awesome. Who would have thunk throwing CD's could be so dangerous?!

Who didn't like the Golden Axe games?

Every 007 game since Golden Eye has been a huge disappointment, at least the couple I've tried.
