In modern gaming, many gamers constantly accuse developers of lacking innovation. We’re somewhat lost at the moment amidst a sea of constant sequels but – as has been proven recently by Tomb Raider – the right team, and the right idea, can do wonders for revitalising a tired franchise.
Why couldn’t the same be done for a lot of Sony’s older properties that lie forgotten to the march of time? These guys were all at one time somewhat successful, with the right team (and Sony has plenty of great first-party studios to choose from), the right marketing and a good dose of hype, there’s no reason why most of these titles couldn’t sell in the millions and create an old, yet brand new franchise.
It’s time to bring these gems back.
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.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

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.
Capcom has a survey doing the rounds asking about its past and present franchises - and naturally, Dino Crisis is the topic du jour. But should we even want a new Dino Crisis game?
Exactly. We definitely deserve a breath of fire game again before most of their other ips. Rpgs are killing it these last few years. Jump in capcom
Its a possibility that the survey would help bring older games to moderns age. Possibilities
It feels like that with most videogame company surveys. I often times wonder why they even bother with them as they usually don't amount to much.
For many, the game became the sound of the 90s – but Josh Mancell tells us how the music for PlayStation’s first mascot game originated in Kraft cheese and Kraftwerk
Tweet at @giocorsi @amboyes @shahidkamel and @rohdescott, they're in charge of getting games, first and third party on PlayStation, they may be able to help with some of these
Crash
Spyro
MediEvil
Legend of Dragoon
Tenchu
Syphon Filter
Grandia
TimeSplitters
Jak & Daxter
Soul Reaver
Alundra
Breath of Fire
I would love to see these relaunched especially Soul Reaver!
A blood omen and soul reaver relaunch would be of the hook
Whilst undoubtedly classics I doubt most could sell millions on name alone. Crash, Timesplitters and Dino Crisis being the possible few. Hell most of these did get follow ups after their hay day and almost all of them flopped.
