Video Game Franchises that Should be Revived for the New Generation

GameDynamo - "It has been a blazing hot start for both Sony's Playstation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One. Both companies have released their end of the year sales figures from their respective systems. However, there are some of us at GameDynamo that believe that you should wait to purchase a next-gen console. A big reason for this is that while there are interesting exclusives on the horizon, there still aren't that many games. If you look back on your history of playing video games there are many franchises that have really stood the test of time. There are also some franchises that didn't make it as far as some gamers hoped. Perhaps, though, there is hope in this new generation of systems to bring back to life some of the gaming community's favorite franchises."

Syphon filter
Crash
Twisted Metal (ps3 version couldve been done better imo)

Lord_Sloth3736d ago

Legacy of Kain needs it's finish after Defiance. An open world LoK with modern Tech would be amazing!

Dark113736d ago

Onimusha
Bloody Roar
Parasite eve(not that crap called 3rd Brithday)

Bathyj3736d ago

Tenchu.

Yes Im still chewing that bone.

Fear Effect
Colony Wars
Rollcage
Crimson Skies
Rygar
Futurecop LAPD

Kurisu3736d ago

Rollcage! I remember playing that on a PS1 demo disc but I never had the full game. I'd be all for it to come back :D

cyber_daemonx3736d ago (Edited 3736d ago )

Rollcage and Futurecop. A man after my own heart. I've still got the original PS1 games. Futurecop multiplayer rocked and Rollcage was mental, better than Wipeout imo.

Agent20093736d ago

Dog's Life was one hell of a lovely game and I would happily see a sequel for the current-gen. One could dream...

Last Syphon Filter game I've played was the second one on PSX, it was pretty great for its time. I'm almost certain that Sony Bend could make a hit with a new one.

Onimusha was something I definitely had a good time with, but since Capcom became assholes who only care about the Call of Duty market... it should get a new developer and publisher.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan32d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

MEGANE32d ago

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥

anast32d ago

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos32d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7732d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.

Go And Vote For Onimusha In Capcom's Survey, This Gem Deserves As Much

Hanzala from eXputer says, "Onimusha deserves a proper Resident Evil-style comeback as much as the other Capcom gems, and I'm glad they might get the chance after all."

H973d ago

I don't know man, Onimusha for modern audiences doesn't sound like a good idea

badboyz0973d ago

Loved the Onimusha series on my ps2 just as much as DmC.

shinoff218373d ago

Hell naw. I voted for breath of fire. It's thr best choice imo.

Please vote breath of fire.

CrimsonWing6973d ago

Breath of Fire 3 got my vote. 3 and 4 are glorious games to me, but I could only pick one.

Unknown_Gamer579473d ago (Edited 73d ago )

I did vote for a Breath of Fire 1-3 remake in the remake section, and it was one of my three choices in series I wish would make a comeback.

SimpleSlave73d ago

Why, though? With Nioh, Sekiro, and every other From Software game with a Samurai build in it, what's the point? The lore? Was it really so unique and interesting that it warrant this "beg Capcom" movement Capcom keeps telling us we need to do all these years? Fudge no. Either make a game or don't but stop this "fans need to game beg or else" bs.

Take Castlevania for example. What's the point in a new entry? From Software literally gave us the entire plotline in Bloodborne with Cainhurst Castle and then some. They also let you play as a Belmont/Alucard build in most of their other games so a new Castlevania is not warranted. Now, if Konami wants to do something, sure, but otherwise? I ain't begging. I'm good actually.

These companies are ran by idiots, that's for sure. Read the market. See the games that are coming out that people are loving and if you have an old IP that fits the bill? Well? Do something about it ya goofs! Otherwise? Let the IP go to the public domain. Trust me, bro. The internet will do a far better job - and worst - than you ever will with all these dormant or dead IPs.

Some Indie devs are even making Dino Crisis like games and people are excited for it. And what is Capcom doing? Sending surveys...FFS!
