By that, I mean which franchises should return next-gen that didn't have any current-gen titles (or at least, nothing of significance). For example, I'd like to see Square-Enix bring back the Parasite Eve series, the Final Fantasy Tactics series, and the Chrono ____ series (not sure what to call that one) for next-gen. Games like Shadow Run and Warhawk are already next-gen titles in development (I think), and some games like Killer Instinct are rumored to be in development. So, which franchises would you like to see return, complete with HDR lighting and normal mapping? edit: Forgot about PDZ, which is basically what I'm talking about.
Leisure Suit Larry DOA Beach Volleyball Street Fighter needs to make a comeback Metroid Top Gun Double Dragon!
More adventure games less FPS damn all you young whippersnappers and demanding your crack paced games Space Quest would rock if it were nextgen
Its no going to be on next gen, but anybody has seen the new Mortal Kombat Armageddon game? Its going ot have ALL of the 60+ characters that have been on all of the MK games, its ridicoulous cast of characters. Bottom: Shang Tsung, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Shinnok Row 1: Shujinko, Kai, Kung Lao, Quan Chi, Reiko Row 2: Kabal, Kano, Cyrax, Sonya, Jarek, Stryker, Rain Row 3: Ashrah, Sindel, Kitana, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Reptile, Baraka, Raiden Row 4: Kenshi, Li Mei, Dairou, Sareena, Tanya, Darrius, Noob, Smoke Row 5: Nightwolf, Ermac, Mavado, Kobra, Kira, Fujin, Frost, Havik, Jax Row 6: Bo' Rai Cho, Hotaru, Drahmin, Mokap, Mileena, Jade, Sektor, Hsu Hao, Nitara Row 7: The Dragon King, Kintaro, Shao Kahn, Goro, Sheeva, Moloch Row 8: Blaze
Got to love NOOB Saibot. Agree on Mutant League. The Genesis Mutant League Football was a classic game, loads of fun. Revival of that license (which, regrettably was owned by EA) would be a great way to provide an alternatvie to the stale world of Madden.
Yoshi's Island. Greatest sidescroller ever. Had a mediocre follow-up on N64, but nothing this previous generation. Sega has a boatload of franchises they've done almost nothing with since the Genesis/Saturn: NiGHTS into Dreams, Alex Kidd, Space Harrier, Chakan, Shining Force, Wonder Boy, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Streets of Rage(though stretching it with this, a poor man's Final Fight ), Toe Jam and Earl, etc. Others: Punch-Out! Splatterhouse would be ****ing awesome
Tecmo Bowl Stryder Desert Strike (EA Helicopter game) Blades of Steel Bionic Commando Skate or Die Contra Road Rash (Why did they stop making these games?)
Good question. The last one I can remember was one on the PS1 I think (probably other consoles too) called Road Rash 3D. It was decent at least, IIRC. I wouldn't mind a next-gen RR personally. I might check out more about that series. Seeing some of these adventure games reminds me of my early gaming days that I sometimes forget about. It would be nice to see a new SQ and KQ, not to mention maybe a new Full Throttle and a new Sam & Max. In fact, I believe they were making sequels to these recently, but both were cancelled. IIRC, there might be a new S&M game in development though. Can't remember.
yes, Bionic Commando is awesome. I will buy the Revolution just to get the original if they offer it. That and Golden Eye.
