MoarPowah's Kaushik discusses why Metroidvania style games are a prime example of excellent game design, and what other games can learn from them.
Konami's highly rare Castlevania: The Arcade has finally been preserved, and everyone can soon get to play it for free.
The Last of Us, Castlevania, and Arcane are actually good. What else could be good?
I think the games would need to have a strong narrative or lots of lore to explore to make a good show. I don't understand why Overwatch doesn't make one, Blizzards cinematics are already amazing, why not just make some shows with their stuff?
For me:
- Sleeping Dogs (I know Donnie Yen's making a film)
- Killzone (from the Helghast perspective)
- Mass Effect
- BioShock (showing the rise and fall of Rapture)
- Hitman
- L.A. Noire
Mafia series
Hitman
Mass Effect (if done similar to Star Trek)
Red Dead Redemption
Detroit Becoming Human
Max Payne
Yakuza
Castlevania is one of the most important franchises in gaming history and yet it's been largely abandoned, despite being so very ripe for new games.
Fuck off with the 3d generic action adventure crap. Give me more classic 2d Castlevania or GTFO.
nah it's Konami remember? They don't have a good team in place for it. Play Bloodstain; amazing game.
Typical Konami, unfortunately there back catalogue means nothing to them. But we can live in hope.
Yeah but the fact that Itagaki left sort of shoots this idea in the foot. I thoroughly enjoyed the new Bloodstained games on the Switch. Not the 2.5D one but the 8 bit versions.
A few more greats not mentioned-
Blaster master (nes and overdrive on wii)
Outland
Guacamelle
Shadow planet
Metroid 0 mission
This article reminds me
New 2D Metroid Please
Would love an HD remake of symphony of the night or a sequel would be even better!

Aliens (DS)
Monsters Tale (DS)
Shantae series
