10 Next-Generation Franchise Comebacks
JamesO writes "Pro-G has posted an article which looks at their top ten most wanted next-generation comebacks. By this time next year there should be three next-generation consoles on store shelves. Games like Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Super Mario and GTA are certain to appear at some point in the lifetime of these consoles, but what about older franchises we'd like to see again?" From the article: "Few games have scared people as much as System Shock 2. Developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios, it's another great game that was released by EA that hasn't seen a sequel in years. Set onboard the Tri-Optimum starship Von Braun, you played a UNN soldier who is part of the crew on the Rickenbacker....When Looking Glass studios went into liquidation the future of the series became very uncertain, with a true sequel now looking very unlikely. A spiritual successor, in the form of BioShock from Irrational Games, is due in 2006." Any games you want to see resurrected?
yeah, lets continue this remake craze forever and ever, lets have Final Fantasy XXVIII, Super Mario Rollecoaster Bubblegum, Splinter Cell Terrorists Forever, Unreal Championship Tour CVII. lets just keep building in the same old IP (intelectual property), never creating something really new and unique again. after all its what the masses want, the same old formula, the same old story, ever and ever afraid to try something new and unique. lets perpetuate this era of nonexistant creativity.
