Way's to save what seem like dying franchises this gen
Durining the days when I was younger I enjoyed playing games on the PS1 and PS2 and through the years of gaming I became a big fan of certain game franchises.
Resident evil
Final fantasy
Silent hill
Devil may cry
These were my favorite game series to play.....and now I wont won't buy the new releases.... What happend?
Resident evil 1,2,3 code veronica, outbreak file series....were great then 4,5,6 I just lost all faith in the game
Final fantasy 7,8,9,X (I'll add 13 wasnt that bad) but then 13-2 ..13-3 (Granted i can't judge 13-3 yet) just seems like there milking one game now...and its getting boring
Silent hill 1,2,3,4 Were really great editions to the silent hill series, then home coming, downpour, origins,shattered memories I wont mention the "other one" becuase im still pretending it doesnt exist!!
Devil may cry 1,2,3,4 were good...... DMC not so
I'm not saying the later games were bad....but they were bad games Considering the name on the case, Like resident evil 4,5,6 they were good action games but...... poor resident evil games
One thing all these game have in common is that they all origionated in Japan, and over the recent years they have westernised their games too much thinking they are appealing to the bigger market, where as I think they have destroyed them, They already had the perfect mixture for their games and that is how they built up their fanbase...
So now from what I think is killing the franchise here are the ways in which I think it can be saved with what i think is the perfect mixutre of last gen + this gen capabilities
Resident evil
Stop the 3rd person action game... They need to go back to their roots, Resident evil 1,2,3 had the perfect mixture, but yes im aware it's outdated now, so to update it i think they should look back to one of their "brilliant resident evil games" Resident evil Zero..but instead of being able to control both the character yourself it should be co-op online..the layout, camera angles and atmosphere was perfect... also in the days of the ps2 They released the outbreak series..I think they were on the right track but it was too early...online on the ps2 was not as standard as it is this gen
so to save The resident evil franchise i think they need to release
Resident evil outbreak file #3
Resident evil 2-3 remake...same camera angles just updated graphics like what they did with resi 1 on the gamecube (perfect game)
A new resi (with old style camera angles with an updated co-op system like i mention for resident evil zero)
and most importantly..Enemies should include zombies...origional resident evil enemies, plus most importanly tyrant/nemisis combat in short space enviroments, None of this las plagus rubbish with 100ft giant monsters as boss's
Resident Evil saved
Final fantasy...quit adding onto 13.. The only other game they did that with is 10 with 10-2..and that game was, well you know stop westernising it to much
Final fantasy x was the best game you released opinion of course (for the perfect mixture of updating your game and keeping the old style we like in) ok maybe final fantasy isnt ruined yet but with sqaure-enix just posting a loss they need to pull their finger out
so to save the final fantasy franchise
Release final fantasy X in HD
Release final fantasy 13-versus
Rlease a remake with updated graphics of 7 or 8....The story and the script is already written .....stop wasting money elsewhere
Final fantasy saved
Silent hill....Ever since the film release and homecoming They keep mixing up/adding/making up stories that didn't even happen in the previous silent hills
Westerm developers should stop crapping on the stories that have been previously writen by true silent hill story writers, using there ideas repeatedly and stop re-using monster designs that are specific to one characters imagination in silent hill 2 (pyramid head)....because it's lazy, stupid and shows you have no imagination yourselfs
Remake silent hill 1 with updated graphics (shattered memories doesnt count)
Hand it back to japan...
Silent hill saved
Devil may cry.....this one is easy also, hand it back to japan why build up a fan base and then completly change it.....I'm glad it didn't do as well as expected...listen to your fans..because were the ones at the end of the day who give you your money Devil may cry isnt dying...but if they continue along with this new story it will
What do you guys think would save them? or if indeed they need saving
