Pic related, Klonoa tried to revive itself TWICE and we're still no closer to Klonoa 3

I work with this 22 year old and he doesn't even know what Ape Escape is... Sony why are you sitting on a franchise only to let it fade into history but you think I need more Medevil

Even if it comes back it's gonna be by a noname western company because japanese don't make anymore games. Bubsy 3D sold better than Door to Phantomile.

I always find it kinda crazy how a game can go from a console seller to old and obscure. A quick glance at Wikipedia makes it look like they stopped making real games and only used them as a base for party games.

Ehrgeiz' Quest/Dungeon mode will never see a sequel and it bothers me. it was the best dungeon crawler to date and nothing comes even close to it. even those games that aren't retro that are 'dungeon crawlers' like the souls series is nothing compared to its arcade style of dungeon crawling. their way too easy, letting you respawn with equipment when you die and stuff.

Oddly enough Tomb Raider. Sure they're still pumping out games, but that kind of precise, 3d, grid-based cinematic platformer is something that you won't see in a modern engine.

Ape escape was cool. I can't believe it was just completely forgotten about.

Not a great game but I'd love to see Sony do something with Blasto.

I don't think Sega will ever make a new Shinobi. The cost for a decent game would be too high vs the interest for it.

parappa the rapper
over the top arcade style sports games
Fishing games used to be pretty popular, I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about them since
I think golf died in popularity too
Every single Beat em Up franchise died attempting to go 3d
DarkStalkers
Banjo Kazooie
Oddworld
Dino Crisis
Pacman used to be the face of videogaming and the original character mascot. Now most people only know him because of Smash Brothers and a cartoon show.
Deer Hunter went from one of the highest selling PC games of the year to almost nothing only a few games later. I don't know what they keep doing wrong with all the sequel to miss out on capturing the original magic.

Oddworld will have a resurgence for maybe a week when all the streamers and youtubers play the new one. then it will be forgotten forever again

Honestly I'd just be happy to have classic Lara back. I got tired of the hipster meme version ages ago

>> No.5846810

A Bomberman game done in a similar style to 64 and Second Attack.

There was gonna be one and it was in production then cancelled. It hurts.

Sure theres still Bomberman games but they’re totally different, theyve been rehashing the grid based classic series and doing nothing else

Let’s just hope the upcoming movie will be successful.

This part kind of makes sense to me. It's a 3d platformer, and I imagine it gets hard to continue to come up with new ideas for those over the years. Obviously Mario did it but Sunshine and Galaxy are some of the most creative games of all time.

On the Nintendo side: F-Zero and Pilot Wings. I guess there was a Pilot Wings game on the Wii-U or something but I'll be very surprised if they make another one.
