GameZebo: After a great showing with Power Rangers: Samurai Steel, Saban has gone back to the well for more explosive spandex-clad martial arts action with Power Rangers Legends. Unfortunately, it seems that Timmy—er, Tommy—and the rest of the Rangers have fallen down this particular well.
With all of its retained and regained popularity, why haven’t we seen a modern triple A style game based on the franchise yet? The 25th anniversary provides a great opportunity for an announcement of one, and developers have plenty of options to choose from, but first to understand the possible future of Power Rangers games, we have to take a look into the past.
Gah..wait...what...THANK YOU!
I mean seriously, the game writes itself. You have more than enough material to draw from.
I picture a beat 'em up / rpg type game where you can power up and upgrade your Ranger. Add different weapons and moves also.
Unlock different Rangers from the many series to use in gameplay.
Have levels where you play as Words fighting huge beasts.
It's right there for the taken...are you going to take it....are you man enough to take it?
Then, either after winning the lottery or - somehow - getting some Star Citizen level funding on Kickstarter along with SABAN's blessing, you better get to making it. Cause given current gaming trends you're not going to get anything like that on a console.
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now.. Got a few ideas for an origins story, a civil war story on zordons home planet.
But there's plenty more you could do with it.
Imagine open world rpg, teleporting is fast travel, side missions at Ernies, different story arc from the morphing series, morph at anytime, putty patrol attacks whenever, call zords, giant monsters destroying the city with debris falling everywhere. Side missions could include martial arts tournaments, science fairs. Most importantly, bulk and skull.
Would need to be mighty morphing series but a bit darker. Not too dark but appeal more to adults than children.
In the fourth installment of The Dace Man Plays, I take on Disney's celebration of the Power Rangers franchise with the PlayStation 2's Power Rangers Super Legends (15th Anniversary). Let's see how the Dace Man fares playing as the Black Ranger from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive in the first level of this PlayStation 2 classic.
