God of War is the worst game in the franchise easily. Boring repetitive gameplay and a truly mediocre story that takes up way too much time. I hope no other series gets "fixed" like it did.
A multiplayer heavy series like Halo is absolutely not something which needs to overhaul it's mechanics etc.
That's how you lose your entire fanbase.
If anything they should be doing the exact opposite and making the game more similar to the older entries.
Tomb Raider. A God of War style revival but also one inspired by RE2make, where the series returns to its roots (but modernized). Less cinematic TPS, more Tomb Raider. Skill based platforming, deeper melee/gun combat (blend of TRLegend/DMC) and Anniversary/Dark Souls inspired level design.
Fuck yeah!!!!
I think the new Tomb Raider Trilogy counts(Its also a damn fine set of games)
Dude you put God of War as an example in the title. God of War wasn't some classic revival. It was a new entry in an alive and well franchise that went in a new direction. It was not a revival of a dead franchise. How are the examples you posted not in the spirit of the topic?
Tomb Raider was the first that came to my mind by the way. A real back to basics but new approach. No xp no crafting or any of these modern systems. Exploration focused without a map with little to no hand holding, challenging manual skill based platforming. Defy conventions.
I'd love to see Killzone bounce back with an invigorating new entry.......such a great universe Guerilla created.......so much potential that still hasn't been realised.
I think it could easily be a free exploration thing like The Witness. Nobody would complain if it was a 3rd person walking sim with some fun traversal mechanics or clever gadgets.
No it wasn't, too much leather, busty girls, and Itagaki pervert crap.Gears.
Nah, NG Black formula was perfect.We just need carefully designed levels instead of the corridors from 2.
Wasn't it the original SOCOM team that made a game where hundreds of soldiers were able to play in the same battle? MAG?Socom, 100%.
The fact that Sony haven't cashed in on both the Rainbow Six Seige and BR crazes (just the renaissance for more tactical, non-respawn shooters in general) with a new Socom game (just play PUB G and it's basically Socom BR) is just insane to me.
