A new name

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

So with all the Developers raping all the blood out of their IPs, you have been tasked by the general community to come up with completely new names for popular series like Battlefield, Halo and Call of Duty.(As well as any other long running ones you can think of)

So Escapists, go ahead and rename some long running franchises, just for the sake of removing the tedious numbers.


I would change Call of Duty to "Is Captain Price really dead this time?" or maybe "The legend of Gaz (didn't play MW3 but fuck me if wasn't Ghost in MW2).

I would also change Halo to "Lead marines around by the nose and watch them all die" or "LASO or GTFO"

Halo 4 >>>SPARTAN
Seriously that?s what I thought they were going to do. Bring John back but not in a game called Halo 4. Of course that was when my mind was young and naive and knew nothing about how this industry works.

 

[Confidingtripod]

for halo: "Halo: anything based from the covenant point of view" I mean, halo 2 got me into the series for that trait, maybe: "assasins creed: subversion" for a stealth game based in modern day with the AC lore

 

[BeeGeenie]

Hideo Kojima's Magnum Opus= Solid Snake: The Conspiracy Theory Exposition Dump Files.
Nintendo's darling= Chubby Plumber's Mushroom Stomping Journey to Another Castle.
EA Sports= This Year's Football Game!

What an interesting thread idea!

Now let's see... I'd rename Halo 'Alien Killer 3000'

Call of Duty: Angry Kid Simulator

Battlefield: 'Elitism: The Videogame'

Yeah I'm not that creative.

 

[dimensional]

Halo 4 = Man and machine space love shooter adventure
CoD = teabag and tantrum: 1337 edition
GTA = homicidal tendencies
Battlefield = Sniperfield
Lol = noobs not welcome
Battletoads = Ragequit
Pokemon = Capture balls and enslavement (add colour here)
Monster Hunter = critter grind

Oh wait at least 2 of those arent popular franchises ah well whatever

 

[Muspelheim]

Call of Duty: Fair & Balanced. :3

Team Fortress 2 > Tales of Hats & Elitism.

Dawn of War III > Spess Mehreens: the Emprah's Furries.

Fallout X > Not Going to Satisfy Your Nostalgia.

 

[krazykidd]

Final fantasy 15= " SHINY SHINY BANG BANG with KUPOS" ( aka , moogles)
DMC reboot = " MY HAIR MAKES ME HIP"
Bayonetta 2 = " LOLBOOBS ON THE WII"
Diablo 4 = " LORD OF DISSAPOINTMENT WITH LOOT"

Hmmm, lessee, popular franchises are kind of limited, so I'll just go with whatever pops in my head.

Asura's Wrath - 'We just want to make anime, really'

Bioshock 2 - 'Commie Diving Simulator'

Spec Ops: The Line - 'You MONSTER, you, yeah you'

Lollipop Chainsaw - 'America from a Japanese perspective'

-Rock Band 4 => Nonspecific Genre Band.
-Guild Wars 2 => The Elder Dragon Extravaganza! (Since the guild wars are completely irrelevant. )
Speaking of removing things that are completely irrelevant:
-The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim => Dragon Age: Awakening. Because that's what happens. The elder scrolls don't matter. At all.
