5 Franchises Where You Wonder 'What Happened'?

Gaming has become an increasingly important section of entertainment over the last few decades and as such there have been a vast amount of franchises that have flourished over time. Many of these have retained the elements that made them special to gamers while continuing to push forward and it's for this reason that they've stayed at the top of gamer wish lists. This isn't the case for all franchises though.

Heh, I think I can name about 20

HolyOrangeCows5137d ago (Edited 5137d ago )

-Good Banjo-Kazooie
-Console Star Fox
-Donkey Kong 64 sequel

That's all I'll bother listing, but all of these missing games are solid reasons to put flaming dog poop on someone at Nintendo's front porch.

Simon_Brezhnev5137d ago

Well i always wanted a part 2 to Comix Zone. That was probably the best beat em up game on Sega Genesis.

MEsoJD5136d ago

Dude man comix zone was such a badass game. The action was so good. If there was somehow a part 2 psn/live downloadable game. xD

Shepherd 2145136d ago

Even as a huge fan of the original Turok series on N64, i still felt that the PS3/360 Turok game was very solid and deserving of at least a 7 out of 10 or something along those lines.

ico925136d ago

omg i thought i was the only person who knew about the comix zone it was the last game i ever bought/played on my sega genesis hard as hell but amazingly underrated.

DigitalHorror815136d ago

You guys probably already know this, but COMIX ZONE is on the Sega Genesis Collection for 360/PS3. I bought it at Gamestop a couple weeks ago for 15. It's a must own.

As for Comix Zone 2, it'll probably never happen, but it was definitely open for a sequel and would be a lot of fun to see as well.

I agree that it would likely be a PSN kind of thing for 10 bucks.

And hey, they're remaking a Sonic Genesis style, why not Comix 2?

bjornbear5136d ago

that game was so hard =( but i was younger so xD

Aw man, Spyro went downhill after Insomniac sold it off. One of the best classics ever.

somekyle5137d ago

I hope Ratchet doesn't follow suit :O

mephman5137d ago

It was Sony who sold it, not Insomniac xD

HowarthsNJ5136d ago

The rights to the game and characters stayed with Universal.

Much like Heavenly Sword is Sony's and not Ninja Theory.

-Alpha5136d ago

Ratchet will follow suit. Jak did. Sony tends to do this for some reason. Hell, Crash is on the iPhone.

Bilbo655136d ago (Edited 5136d ago )

As 2.3 said noone sold Spyro and noone sold Crash it was the Publishers ip and stayed with them, sick of people saying Devs/Sony were so dumb etc.. for selling something they never did.

Especially when they think they know what they are talking about, so annoying

I REALLY hope that Sonic 4 actually does something good for the franchise.

somekyle5137d ago (Edited 5137d ago )

Haha, don't get your hopes up, it'll just end in tears

Hardedge5137d ago

it's looking promising so far lol

Vespertine5136d ago

It will, trust me.

If you're one of those fans who nitpick EVERY detail in a game, you probably won't like Sonic 4. But if you want to play a game that's LIKE the classics, and is fun to play. You'll love Sonic 4.

I just wish it wasn't episodic. Hopefully the wait for Sonic 4: Episode 2 won't be too long.

evilmonkey5015136d ago

the fall of the dreamcast saw the last of any good from sega. At least until recently.

TwistedMetal5137d ago

The list should been 20 franchises.

they should of then had wrote down

double dragon, battletoads, streets of rage, kirby superstar, star wars rogue squadron, jumping flash, shenmu, powerstone, etc

mephman5137d ago

Er, quite a lot of those didn't actually have bad games, they just stopped.

ScubaSteve15137d ago

silent hill died when the team america or who ever made it took over

evilmonkey5015136d ago

Is that the one you could download in episodes? Because I never actually played that one..I have it , I just never played it.

Cenobia5136d ago

The episodic survival horror game you are thinking about is "Siren."

I think the last Silent Hill game was a PSP/PS2 release. I played about 5 minutes of it, but it was frustratingly dark. I found that more annoying than scary.

evilmonkey5015136d ago

thanks..I checked and your 100 percent correct. I tried playing it again today and well, lets say I agree with your synopsis.

Turok: A Game Series in Need of a Reboot

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.

closed_account345d ago

I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.

BriBri345d ago

I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.

Vits345d ago

Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.

And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.

potatoseal345d ago

I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.

FreeckyCake345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.

GoodGuy09345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad597d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g596d ago (Edited 596d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
