Game series you'de like to see resurrected
Posted: Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:23 amYea title says it all, is there a game series that seems to be dead you would like to see brought back?
Well I have the following:
Medievil:
Playstation platformer about a dead knight by the name of "Sir Daniel Fortisque" who died in battle against the invading evil wizard, the legend has it that he utterly destroyed him in mortal Combat while in reality he never even faced him. He has been resurrected to earn his place amongst the heroes while saving the world from an evil sorcerer.
So far there are just two games with the first one having a remake for the PSP.
The series has much potential and would fit right in in today's dark humor Zombie loving time.
Legacy of Kain:
Seriously this series is awesome, gentleman Kain is killed by robbers while camping during his travels just to be resurrected as a Vampire. He hates drinking blood but the more he does and the longer his mission of vengeance takes the more he likes it and ends up as king of the Vampires and the dominant species of his land. he also causes chaos utterly changing the face of the world. Also the sereis tells the story of Raziel, Kain's first sun and lieutenant, who is betrayed by Kain and given the death penalty only to come back to take Vengeance.
Why would this series kick ass today? Because most of today's mature games borrow elements from this classic series plus Vampires are big these days plus the damn series needs to be continued. Basically Hack-slash games like we know them today like God of War wouldn't even exist without this series.
And yours?

Somthing Ive always wanted to do in a game like this. I also liked the decision making, it reminded me of Spiderman Web of Shadows, where every little decision you make brings you to your ultimate destiny. It was a far better game that I had hoped, just for the sake of saying that SP should have stuck with Sly. The company tried to expand to a larger audience, I have no problem with that now, but its just not for me. Like I never heard of Insomniac until Resistance. But when I first heard of it, I was outraged, but now that I've settled down, ive come to open my eyes and realize its just a game.
