game series you wish weren't dead Anonymous Tue Jun 11 21:29:29 2013 No.792657 [Reply] [Original]

At least Megaman went down in a glorious memorable shitstorm and he's still kinda popular.
Crash went down like...whatever is the opposite of that. I hate Naughty Dog for being franchise-abandoning pricks, even though Twinsanity was good.

I wonder if devs that were kids growing up playing Crash will make revivals like DKC and Rayman got.

Tactics is more like the Ogre series than Final Fantasy, but I can understand why someone might want FFT instead of Ogre.

Speaking of which, Ogre Battle was awesome, I just wish they had larger maps, a higher active squad limit, and more use for legions to actually make the game feel like a war instead of an outing by my two strongest squads while another guards the base.

Oh no, I was drawing a comparison to Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. I haven't played TacticsS, so I don't know a think about it.

The original post was disappointed that the original PSX tactics never got true sequels, and I was saying the Ogre series (Which I believe were made by the same people) would've been a relative of FFT.

Because the crossovers only feature the female characters, and awful, overly fanservicey out of character versions at that.

Annunziata has been begging to make Ecco 3 since 1994.

Back in January he pitched TWO new Ecco games to Sega, essentially Ecco 3 and 4. All he's asking for is the fucking license to the IP, they wouldn't even have to spend any money.

It may not be Ecco, but at least he's making The Little Blue now, another dolphin game. It's going to have 2D gameplay.

I'd like to see a Tomba rerelease or sequel, because that game was fantastic. It'd look really good with current/next gen 3D worlds, and hand drawn 2D sprites sort of like Rayman Origins.

The thing I most want is a new Medievil game, though I worry that if a new game was made it'd have God Of War style combat which would be awful.

I know man. It's like, they started with Crash (and probably some other shit but whatever) then Jak and Daxter which was a sort of a more grim version of Crash with GTA elements, then they were full "realistic" shit with Uncharted and now that they're done with that they're trying an dark AAA zombie title in Last of Us.

I guess they just go with the flow, try to make the best game for what they think is a genre that will sell a lot, and the flow just happens to get darker and more '"realistic" as time goes on.

I guess it's reasonable. I thought it would be weird at first and wouldn't work, but in the second/third jump, when the camera aims down looking at your own shadow from up above, it really helps on moving from one position to another. It feels natural at a certain point.

Crash Team Racing was the last piece of brilliance. The two creative directors behind the Bandicoot up until then left (at least it said so in the Scrapbook) so it was only natural to them to abandon the franchise, they didn't know what to do with it, but apparently some other fucks thought they did.

Shadowgate.

I know there is yet another fucking NES rehash coming out on Kickstarter but Shadowgate belongs to just two guys who did fuck all with it in all those years and boy, why not make an entirely new Shadowgate game once in a while.

I will never stop whining about how SG Rising never got released on N64 or anywhere.

Well I liked it anyway. It's a little different than the original games, it isn't as linear and staightforward etc. Kind of an open world with you just stumbling into levels. Might get a little annoying just how hidden some of the secrets are but it's an overall good game. A little short if you don't fuck around with the hidden areas and stuff is the only real bad thing about it.

Choppy as fuck framerate, elemental breaths like in 5 but terribly executed, graphics go between good and piss-fucking-terrible (NPCs tend to jiggle around like they're made of jelly for no good reason), only has a single hub and like 7 levels (and most of those are trite to begin with), load screen for the load screens, you name it. The soundtrack is still legit awesome, and it's truly saddening that the game has the rough basis of an amazing Spyro game, but it was literally rushed to hell for a christmas release and ended up with not even 1/3 of the planned content and optimizations.

Naughty Dog didn't exactly abandon the franchise, as it was ALWAYS owned by Universal (or Sony, I forget which exactly, and as such when they went their separate ways, they weren't allowed to take it with them. Even Naughty Dog hates what's happened to the series since they left.

In case no one's read it, here's a nice series of articles from one of the founders of Naughty Dog on developing Crash:
http://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011/02/02/making-crash-bandicoot-part-1/

It gives some great insight into what made those games so damn good.

King's Quest, Legend of Kyrandia, and Loom. They're all dead and their studios have long since collapsed. The creative teams responsible for each have drifted apart, many out of the game industry completely.

They will never be revived and a majority of you will never play them. That's why I really can't be fucked to care about a character from the mid 90s who was just another mascot made to rival Mario and Sonic.

Your pic gave me so many feels.
Crash was my favourite game, the best game of my childhood. Now they made it shit.
I'm not surprised by how Notty Doggers react to Crash's discomposure. He was their gateway to the very top of gaming industry, they should be attached to him.
So thousands of times, I wish the game wasn't dead, and done in proper way.

I want Jade Cocoon back, too. Not in the way the second part was, but like the first JC: ancient times, almost tribal societies, legends, spirits wandering the land.
