killamch89 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Over the past few decades, gaming companies have tried to create reboots of older series in order to reignite interest and potentially gain new fans. All with varying degrees of success. I'm interested to hear about your favorite reboots and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Not sure about franchise reboots but the remasters that "resident evil" has done recently. I am impressed with that. I also hope the silent hill some day gets such type of scary atmosphere and things get better reboot with new story. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Talking about games that has robots in them? Well, I have mentioned this before, well I think I did on another thread that the game called XERA is a survival action-focused looter shooter multiplayer, open world, PvPvE survival, featuring a global gear stash accessible from any server. Where other players can kill and lot you and also you have robots that taken over the world that will attack you. Since it's season three game, I like it.

Reboots are basically games that the main story has been retconned/tweaked as well as the gameplay/graphics updated by the developers and re-released. This is usually done to appeal to a broader audience - usually younger gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Favorite reboots: Tomb Raider XCOM Least favorite reboots: DeusEx - not that human revolution was a bad game, but deusex did not need a reboot, it needed a sequel. Gran Turismo Sport - An insult to Gran Turismo fans everywhere, added upon the injury of not even releasing a proper gran turismo for PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was indeed the sequel and undebatably the best game in the series in terms of story and gameplay by many players including myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the worst part in the series, and it's biggest failure is what you say exactly. That it wasn't meant to be a reboot yet for all intents and purposes it is one. It was supposed to be a prequel, yet the world feels much more modern than in DeusEx, and the state of the world resembles nothing of the original. It's an utter failure as a "sequel" as a reboot it can at least be judged, but it still fails at that, albeit not so miserably. I have the entire laundry list here. And while we are at it, the sequel prequel, wipes the floor with human revolution, it is a much better designed game, despite of being cut short.

skyfire Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 XCOM never disappoint you. They do have pretty good reboots and sequels and now they are moved to android, even better stuff coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like it. it's not meant for younger games, 16 years and older. You might like it. Not about killing robots. you have to attack other players also.

The Blackangel Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The closest I can think of is the FF8 remaster. A great game getting a facelift. It makes a hell of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roller Coaster Tycoon Personally, I'm very thrilled with Gran Turismo for what it brought to the racing game table. I have also seen God of War remasters even though the game is awesome already, the remasters are very explosive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
