/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.750896]

Game time, /vr/!

You're in charge of reviving a dead/dying/dormant franchise of your choice.
The game can be either a totally new game(see: DmC, but better) or a remake from the ground up in the vein of Metroid Zero Mission, La-Mulana, Black Mesa, XCOM, etc

Explain who would develop it. Describe what would be changed, stay the same, and be added. The sky's the limit.

GO!

Seriously, why is this not happening in these days of reboots and shit? Or even better, (since S4 is still very playable) update Settlers 2

>Alien Vs Predator

Capcom can still develop it, they did a good job of it last time and this time, all they're doing is slapping a coat of paint on an existing engine. And then all we do is reskin Streets of Rage Remake with the AvP guys, and job done.

Why can't you accept that game is just bad ?

[Anonymous No.751080]

I want a real Jazz Jackrabbit 3. I mean, I'm glad the series died because I tried the JJ3 Alpha and it was such a terrible abomination that the franchise was better off dead but I'd love another game. Alexander Brandon could do the music, the platforming would be similar to the first two games but it could be better, more weapons, good looking visuals and a multiplayer mode that is just as good as JJ2's.

You reckon? I thought they made sense together. And although a side scrolling fighter might not have been the first thing that came to mind when I think of the two, I certainly won't complain about it.

[Anonymous No.751102]

Idk, they make sense in the way that they're both aliens? That's about it? It would be like brining together John McClain (sp?) and John Rambo because, hey they're both badasses

Star Ocean. It's a cliched as fuck series, so Tri-Ace should stop taking it seriously altogether.

Aww yeah, this. I loved the Monolith games. AvP2 is still one of my favourite FPS.

I would have love a real AvP 3 by Monolith.

Why would that be stupid? That's actually way more logical than "Terminator vs Robocop" for instance. And pretty badass too.

Which isn't logical at all. I haven't even played the games or watched the movie(s?), i'm just saying the idea sounds like something two high or drunk guys could think up late at might.

Considering that, if you just heard of Alien without seeing the movies, you could find them stupid too.

>Dude, I thought of that space monster, it could, you know, put eggs in your stomach, and then it would rip you from the inside, and its blood would be acid, and he would grow from 20 centimeters to a 2 meters monsters in an hour

Anyway, the games are really great. If you like FPS and horror games in general, I highly recommand the marines campaigns from both Monolith games.

Also, the Aliens are always referred to as the most perfect species blahblah, so I really don't see how strange it is that the Predators, a race of hunters, always seeking for more and more powerful foes, would try to look and hunt them.

The stories in the movies are really fucking stupid though. The game made everything perfect, and instead of following that, they felt they needed a fucking pyramid on EARTH in the present time... Urgh...

Not really, i'd probably find the premises a bit stereotypical. And just too be clear, i have seen Aliens and Predator, just not Aliens vs Predator.

>If you like FPS and horror games in general

Well that's a problem then, i like neither of those. In fact, you couldn't pay me to play horror games, shit's scary.

Give Resident Evil to Grasshopper. Use RE4/Revelations-style combat. Hire a good horror writer. Focus more on ammo conservation and puzzles. Easy.

Brandish by Falcom of course.
Brandish 2-4 with overhauled graphics, controls(full rotating camera), and gameplay. XSEED localizes it and all of them (including the PSP remake) get on Steam.

Just there to emphasize that there should be a mechanical girl as the protagonist in it. Might have to update that image though, always seems to draw complaints even though it's not necessarily the direction I'm hinting at.

You mean the in game "swimsuit" one?
I'm not saying that she should be skimpy (hell, the original design makes her skimpy looking).
I want her to look more "mecha" like while still retaining humanoid features.
Pic related, well done fan art I was considering using instead but I don't agree with the "reveling flesh tearing of the skin" thing.

I don't know about remaking any of the old titles, could be interesting, but I think it would be awesome if Capcom would hand the franchise over to Platinum games, they aren't doing anything with it anyway. Would love to see more titles like the snes mmx games or mmz.

If there's ever going to be another 2D platforming Mega Man, it'll probably be done by either WayForward (Ductales remake, A Boy and his Blob, Contra 4) or (more unlikely) the former Grin studio guys (Bionic Commando Rearmed 1&2, cancelled Strider reboot, cancelled Streets of Rage Remake).
But that's only if we're going to be optimistic, Capcom might just decide on using the Xover team again the way things are....
