I hate when developers use an established franchise name to sell a new game that has absolutely nothing to do with the style of the original. Screw you Sega. Stop killing every good thing you did in the 90s. |
Gaming companies are largely taking a page from movie companies these days. Digging out long forgotten franchises and resurrecting them. In some cases, the outcome is pleasant but in others, not so much. Unless the style of the game lends itself perfectly to moving into today's era of gaming, I would not hold my breath for any such game. Games like the up-and-coming Golden Axe need to be treated as entirely new games/series until they actually show their roots.
I, for one, love co-op games. Even games like RBO and Dynasty Warriors have their play lifespans significantly increased simply by being co-op. It's not a dead genre, not yet anyway.
