Shadowlocked - We live in a generation of rebirths and remakes and so, with this in mind, these are the VG classics that we at Shadowlocked feel deserve a Hollywood-style revisit...
Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Unveiled footage of the cancelled TimeSplitters game emerges after Free Radical's closure, igniting fans' nostalgia and hopes for a revival.
From looking at the gameplay, it just looks like Fortnite, this would have been very poorly received by timesplitters fans.
I'm glad this got cancelled, what's with the Fornite knockoff? TimeSplitters was an FPS, not a 3rd person battle royale.
What were they thinking?
I got into a minor disagreement with their staff shortly after the closure, after i commented about a Timesplitters HD remaster to gauge public reception before such a big project here:

Looking at the gameplay footage, it's clear that the staff (no matter what level) we're out of their depth, putting lots of hours into a game that would of been DOA if Embracer didn't shut it down.
They removed the footage. Here it is if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/BesmfPD8fj...
It's basically a Fortnite clone. Seems like a good decision to cancel this game.
TimeSplitters got cancelled for a second time recently, but for what reason? And is there any hope for another comeback?
To be honest the odds of this ever being good or recapturing the original trilogy were always going to be slim to none. The franchise was a product of its time. Look at how misplaced nostalgia met reality with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. If you have to use old IP then most of the time you have to completely reinvent it from the ground up.
I know some people might think it but I don't think RE needs a reboot theres too many loose ends that havent been tied up.
The one I always go on about is the ending of RE4
<Spoilers>
Ada takes the Sample but dosen't give it to Wesker and she says that she knows Wesker isn't stupid and tough times lay ahead. Well Wesker got the sample in RE5 so we need to know how the hell he got it.
and who are the other corpoation Ada was working for...the "Organization" the rival of Umbrella.
I think this is why Leon and Ada will be in RE6. Hopefully not co-op like RE5 but with Ada getting a small side game like in RE4.
Sonic 4 was terrible and the next episodes probably will be as well.
