Last week we were treated to the Top 5 Best Franchise Reboots in gaming and whenever you have a “Best” list there is bound to be a “Worst” list. So, here are the Top 5 Worst Franchise Reboots in Gaming.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In one sense, it feels strange to even think Pieces Interactive had big shoes to fill with this series' legacy. Given what's come before, did it really? And yet, even when considering the last two flops over a two-decade span, there's still something about Alone in the Dark emblazoned on a title screen that carries a sense of revered history. In that respect, perhaps this reboot's best accomplishment is in honoring that spirit through its inventive world. It's also fair to emphasize knocks against its survival-horror design, some puzzle-solving, and so on; it certainly won't be considered a trendsetter like the 1992 classic. Still, the amount of goodwill wedded to its brighter qualities makes for something that dawdles the line between unfortunately-flawed and impressively-enticing."
The new Alone in the Dark remake doesn't do anything especially noteworthy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just... cromulent.
The original Alone in the Dark - hailing all the way back from 1992 - is re-imagined with Unreal Engine 4. The story and puzzle elements are dramatically overhauled, where PS5, Series X and S strive for 60fps gameplay in a decent performance mode. However there are technical rough points to this release which detract from what could be a much better game.
series S performance mode, 800x450p - 1600-900p
so NEVER hits 1080, and goes as low as a ps2.
this consoles dead to me
Man some of those games are just down right embarrassing, although I actually enjoyed Bionic Commando; minus the whole plot twist with the arm.
I actually agree with everyone one of these. However I think Bionic Commando should be #2 not #3. Sonic wasn't that horrible.
arc the lad 5 was pretty damn bad
So much could have been done to make Sonic pretty enjoyable, for example, make a remake of the Sonic from the Sega Genesis similar to what Nintendo is doing with Donkey Kong..would make an excellent addition to the Live Arcade or PlayStation Store. This is just what I think..
Replace #1 with 2. That horse has been dead for YEARS.
