What franchises do you think desperately need a reboot?


Recommended Posts

My vote is for .Hack, heck I would love a remake of the first 4 but I would absolutely take a reboot. While not as bad as KH, .Hack requires you to play 7 games, watch like 3 animes and read several books/manga to understand what everything is.

Breath of Fire:ย I'd say more than a reboot it just needs to come back haha. We've seen stuff like the upcoming Eiyuuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes which will be a spritual comeback of Suikoden, then there's Sea of Stars which while doing pretty unique things is clearly a love letter to Chrono Trigger. I think there's enough nostalgia and fans of old school JRPGs that a game in the style of BoF III or IV with an adequate budget will be able to make a healthy profit. If Capcom doesn't bring BoF back which seems extremely unlikely I believe there's space there for a spiritual successor.

I know someone already mentioned this series, but Fallout.

I really didn't like where the series went after Fallout 4 and having it go back to its roots as a gritty top-down RPG would definitely bring a lot of fans back. What Fallout 4 lacked was the feeling of being in a dark, twisted, dark world. Fallout 4 was too bright and wasn't very good at making a tense atmosphere like the first 3 games plus NV. It's an odd complaint, but I didn't like how umm..civilized everything was in 4? I much prefer the more crazier and unpredictable cities of Fallout 1-3. These older games had cities with more interesting characters and buildings. For example, in Fallout 1 there is a town full of ghouls that lived there after the bombs dropped because no one else accepted them. Another example is a town in Fallout 3 where several cultists worship a massive talking tree, this entire town is covered in leaves and huge branches. These unique cities gave these games character and made them more interesting to explore. Bethesda doesn't even need to go back to how the old Fallout games played, just bring back the atmosphere of the older games and the majority of fans will be happy. But honestly, that probably will never happen.
