Which Game Series Should Be Revitalized Next?

It's no secret many sleeping IP's are not being put to use by their creators. Characters that were a staple in my childhood, may never see the light of day again, remaining simply as memories of the past. Series like Castlevania, Mega Man and Crash Bandicoot are just some of gaming's most fabled franchises, locked behind doors with a lost key. While some series did get remade for next gen consoles, it's always a wonder if or when we will see our favorite gaming series return to life.

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro85d ago

Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.

Christopher85d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.

It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .

blacktiger84d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro84d ago

Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .

VersusDMC84d ago

Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.

And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.

Mark Cerny 'Loved' Legend of Dragoon, But Admits It 'Can't Possibly Be as Good' as He Remembers

The Legend of Dragoon is held in very high regard by Sony stalwarts, a JRPG developed in-house for the original PlayStation. While it never achieved the same success as other games of that era, it's retained a cult status, and you still see calls from fans today for Sony to return to the land of Endiness. Now, fans can say that Mark Cerny, lead system architect for the PS4 and PS5, ranks among their number.

There's definitely parts of it that haven't aged well, for sure. It would be interesting to see how a remake could fix the things that need it while somehow maintaining the game's charm.

gold_drake92d ago

i think the combat could definitely be almost like expedition 33, with the precision input thing.

no_more_heroes92d ago

My thoughts exactly. It's been a long-ass time since I've played it, but I remember there being weirdness with the plot regarding a female character. I'm on the fence about whether I'd want an FF7 Remake-style approach, or just a warts-and-all approach of it being the same exact game with 21st century graphics and presentation.

Even with regards to the goofy voice acting lol!

Part of me wants that FF7R style treatment.

Relientk7793d ago

A fantastic JRPG that should return. I wish Sony would just remake this already. I mean Bluepoint Studios makes fantastic remakes... there you go Sony.

-Foxtrot92d ago

They do…and as soon as Sony bought them they decided to waste their talents on a GaaS title for 5 years before cancelling it.

Such a shame

We could have had at least a remake from them with the next one close to being teased

MDTunkown93d ago

Jrpg age well it’s not like replaying driver.
And its flaws like to much random encounter and slow combat can easily be fixed

Knightofelemia93d ago

It's still one of those hidden gem JRPG's I love the game. I wish Sony would do something with the title whether an HD remaster or give it the remake treatment like Square did with FF7. I also wish Sony would do something with the Wild Arms franchise and another JRPG franchise I love as well.

Miraak82 93d ago

Story and charecters were good, cinematics were top notch and gameplay was fun for its time but world and exploration left much to be desired especially after playing games that came out before it like FF and Xenogears . It's a shame we never got another in-house made Sony rpg , kinda surprised they never tried to acquire Level-5 for all they rpgs they've made for them

Yeah they’re testing the water with Pragmata ..

shinXseijuro241d ago

Next megaman game will run on Pragmata engine they’re just gonna swap out Hugh and Diana for megaman but they literally function the same . You’ll be able to lock into enemies and uses your thrusters to dodge in all direction and as you advance you’ll get upgrade for double thruster jump , front and back dash etc . Great game

BlackDoomAx241d ago

I fear that current generations don't care about it.

HyperMoused240d ago

Its just a bit dated now...the pic above its the 90's....maybe a slight revamp would be good, now what that would look like would be interesting

Johnh5223240d ago
