10 Games We Want and the Developers That Should Make Them

Default Prime's Alex Carlson dreams big dreams by thinking of how some classic game series could be better in the hands of some different developers.

"With so many series staying close to the devs’ heart, not many of these visionaries have the trust and confidence in thinking that another developer will give their series the kind of care and love that they themselves give it. But some ideas don’t disappear with time. Here’s a new list of games that we’d love to see handed off to another developer than the one who currently holds it, and the developer who seems to be the best and most trusting caretaker of these franchises."

Why would you want to take a great game like Uncharted from an already amazing developer.

ltachiUchiha4025d ago

Yeah that would be horrible but its just other ppls opinion & picks. Naughty Dog are perfect fit with uncharted series because they obviously made it lol.

minimur124025d ago

I'll agree with that. But uncharted Golden abyss on the vita, made by Sony Bend studio ( if you haven't guessed, not the original studio) and they did a bloody good job of it. But they did have everything overseen by naughty dog, the original creators of uncharted.

What annoys me, is that nearly every portable console game is made by a different studio :( lol

ltachiUchiha4025d ago

True but that was a vita game. Not taking anything away from them but it would prolly be a different experience if it were a full ps3 game. Thats just my opinion though. =]

GARBAGE LICKER4025d ago

I mean Naughty Dog might just stop making Uncharted games and go on to their next big game series but then I want it continued by a capable company because I need more games haha

WiiUsauce4025d ago

Star Fox should be made by Treasure.

buckley4023d ago

They've already left it behind, and Rocksteady has the potential to give the fantastic set pieces a proper open-world framework. I see the impetus.

Terrible opinion piece. Almost all of these games were paired with companies that don't fit the game's style.

ElectroJade4025d ago

Maybe that's the point. Maybe they want something completely different.

MrMister4025d ago

@ElectroJade

If they want something different, maybe they should pursue the games that those other companies are already making. Who the hell would want Star Fox to be developed by Platinum Games? That's just weird. And then the article actually references Bayonetta and Vanquish...wtf? I haven't seen a proper Star Fox in a long time, and this article wants it to become a Bayonetta clone?

No thanks.

Donnieboi4025d ago

Yeah but why not just make a new I.P. then? What's the point in putting these companies on these games if all they are going to do is make them unrecognizable to their fanbase. I like it when games do new things, but this article just has the wrong teams set-up for the wrong franchises IMO.

BlackWolf4025d ago (Edited 4025d ago )

Remember StarFox Adventures? It was great game, but branding it in the SF series damaged its reputation... just because it strayed too much from what people were used to. No one's against innovation, but changing the concept to much could do more hurt that good.

The 10th Rider4025d ago

@MrMister

Are you kidding me? Platinum games is the perfect fit for Starfox! They've made some of the best action games in recent memory, they're great with that quirky dialogue and style, and they're great at making fast paced games. Also, Considering that they said they want Nintendo to force them to make Starfox at gunpoint and and they both have a sudden friendship going, I wouldn't be surprised if it's already in the works.

@MrMister
A Starfox game made by Platinum would be amazing. their over the top style is what a game like Starfox needs.

buckley4023d ago

I don't agree at all... Frictional making a horror game? Bungie making a shooter? Bethesda making an open-world RPG? Criterion games making a racing game?

The games are paired with developers who are versed in making games that would likely compliment the franchise in question in positive ways.

KillrateOmega4025d ago

"Any Peter Molyneux Project"

LOL

FlyingFoxy4025d ago

Well Black and White was a great game, i played it a lot on PC at the time.. now? i haven't heard anything great about Lionhead studios.

WeAreLegion4025d ago

Most of Lionhead left after Black & White 2 to form a little studio called Media Molecule. ;) That's why everything since has sucked.

jcnba284025d ago

A Pokemon game from Monolith Soft would be epic.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4025d ago

A free roam sci-fi or fantasy game by R*. Risky, but awesome.

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

mastershredder6h ago

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast17h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows16h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear2115h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning7712h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger11h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
