What series needs a revival?

[MrBaskerville]

Almost 3 pages in and I haven't seen a reference to Onimusha...

Come on guys, how can you say no to this pair:

Also, Freespace needs a sequel. I know its buried in licencing hell, but god damn, that game was awesome and the story was so great.

Actually that's the only Onimusha game i disliked, but i think they saved the series with the fourth game. Just as shame they chose to bury it...

Crash Bandicoot

Okami

Mother/Earthboun

Maverick Hunter X: the Mega Man X PSP Remake

MediEvil

So many great series that have fallen by the way side. I think out of all of these, I'd want to see Okami back most of all.

Metroid.
The last Metroid game was Prime 3: Corruption back in 07.
What? You mean there was another game more recently made by Team Ninja?
No, that would be stupid.

Holy shitballs! That has to happen! Right now!

I thought at first you meant TV series, in which case i was going to say Invader Zim. However, having said that anyway, ummmm, perfect dark, banjo kazooie/tooie, *cough* Half life *cough* Whew, bit of a cold there, sorry!

Lol. Indeed! People keep telling me otherwise, in fact i did own a game that resembled itself to be a metroid game, but the facts tell me that metroid games are truly awesome explorative (it is a word now, assholes) games in which i lost many of my hard earned hours on. This one was not the case

Banjo-Kazooie (even though I actually enjoyed Nuts and Bolts), Conker, and Battletoads (all internet jokes aside).

So basically, I want Rare to make actual games again.

Ignoring that all these games are getting new instalments (fanmade or otherwise) in the (un)foreseeable future:
Dungeon Keeper
Might & Magic
Battlezone

Without Crash I don't think I'd have fully enjoyed games like Spyro and conquers Bad Fur day were it not for him so I'd very much consider him for a revival, as long as Sony get's the rights to him back.

I was literally thinking of writing this exact thing, but you got there first, you fluffturd!!

 

[The Crispy Tiger]

Vampires: The Masquerade. This is a RPG that is truly ripe for the picking with a great world, atmosphere, and many stories to mine. BETHESDA, GRAB IT ALREADY.

What?!? Who could possibly not enjoy the barley functioning charm of Kinect Adventures...

 

[JaceArveduin]

the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

Yesss... Except, this time, just split the gold into two different pouches, that thing where both players pulled from the same pool was irksome.

Rise of Nations/Rise of Legends
Lord of the Rings:Battle for Middle Earth

Wait, you mean I don't have to come in here and be the first to mention BFME? Besides, we've had two hobbit movies and not even a teaser... Come on EA, the blatant cash grab is just giving you a good, hard glare right now...

I really want BFME3...

 

[MetalX2k]

Can they make a really epic Rygar game? One of the few titles from my youth, if they did it really well, then I might be a happy grown-up...or for more "recent" fair how's the reputation of the Legacy of Kane thru Soul Reaver series holding up? =p

 

[Reaper195]

Space sims. The entire genre. We've got Star Citizen, but that's not going to be completed/come out until 2015. There have been a few games on PC which have come out, but they all tend to feel like they shoud've come out about fifteen years ago. Or at least they most certainly look it.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Vigilante 8 it bloody well has to be! Current gen explosive upgradable car battles of awesome!! I never really found twisted metal that good, but surely...i would love this shit to be explored deeper now. Changable destructive levels, customisable vehicles perhaps with transformations and character specific specials with subgoals and storyline. It cant be THAT hard to do, surely??

I was making a joke about fan discontinuity but I guess I should have worded it better.

And I believe I have a good reason to deny the existence of DMC4. The dice. I could take the miserable excuse of a plot, half-baked playable characters and even the shamless backtracking. But whoever put the dice game in there needs to be punched in the stomach with a wrecking ball. Not even gonna mention the reboot because it hurts enough as it is.

You know, now that I read back your old post, I get it... hehe.
But why deny the existence of DMC4 though? It had the best gameplay in the series and was no where near the disaster that was DMC2.
Plus I can't believe I'm saying this... but the dice was justified... (going to hell I know)
Capcom rushed DMC4's production, the guys behind it had no choice but to add dumb padding and theres A LOT of evidence that DMC4 was going to be a huge game. I guess you can say Capcom was starting to go into its teenage angst phase of ludicrous decisions and still is. And thus we got DmC, which I hope Tam Tam got nightmares from knowing that game did soooooooo well.

So to wrap things up...
DMC2 was bad because of the dev team not Capcom.
DMC4 was ok because of Crapcom not the dev team.

Pick your poison, but I recommend the cherry flavored one.

Well, not exactly a series I suppose, but Holy Shit more Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magck Obscura plz! When's the last time we had a good steampunk game? Fucking never? I would love to see what happened if Bethesda took the IP and ... Betesda-ized(?) it, since it's basically just steampunk Fallout but better and not utterly disturbingly unsettling. I wouldn't even mind playing the exact same story just from the first and third person perspectives. Hmm... Maybe I could just mod it into Oblivion...

 

[EyeReaper]

There was this quaint little rpgish game for the ps2/wii called Dokapon Kingdom. It was kinda like a mix between Dragon's quest and monopoly, with a nice dallop of Munchkin added for good measure and goood god was it a blast to play with friends. nothing like watching your brother battle a dragon to the death just to sneak in, backstab him, and change his name to Senor Douchebag. Good times, I tell you, good times

I'd also like to see a new custom robo, a new oddworld, medievil, Steambot Chronicles... my list goes on for quite a ways

Fatal Frame/Project Zero/Whatever you call it.

In North America, at least. Between Fatal Frame IV not getting an export at all, the wiimake of 2 not coming to America, and the 3DS spinoff that came and went in the blink of an eye, the series is basically dead in my region. Now if only we can get either an HD collection or a new game on next gen consoles (all of them, not just WiiU), then it might pick up steam again. That's only likely to happen if Tecmo drops its Wii/Nintendo obsession, though. At least the original three are on PSN, now.

In 2-3 years I've no doubt I'll be saying much the same thing about Silent Hill, since Konami's horrible marketing basically killed whatever chances Downpour had of succeeding. (Shut up, I liked that game).
