5 iconic video game characters that stood the test of time

Wiehahn Diederichs, Gearburn writes :"What would the world of video games be without its champions, a string of digital personalities that has kept us captivated and immersed in their strange fictional worlds? While most of these characters barely see the light of day and quickly disappear into obscurity, there are a select few that have stood the test of time. And to this day are able to rally us behind their cause.
We’ve decided to pay homage to these characters, so that they and all who read this may know that they are loved in all their senseless glory."

This is only Part 1 (think editor forgot to add, will fix)! Part 2 will be published later this month and features Samus :)

Hmmm. When you have to literally reimagine and recreate a character from ground up so he or she can be more appealing, I wouldn't consider it as "stood the test of time". Lara Croft is not the same as she used to be, she most definitely did not stood the test of time.

Fair enough, I see where you're coming from! But most of these character have been reworked to some extent and I don't think any of them are any less deserving of the 'Iconic' title because of it. While Lara has received a considerable visual makeover, her core character hasn't changed all that much, I mostly just think there is more to her than before, she is a more complex character.

The rebooted Lara Croft is no where near the original's personality and character. The reason why tbey rebooted her is because the original did not stand the test of time.

Now I am glad Kratos is still tje same Kratos even though much have changed in his new game.

Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss6d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

jznrpg3d ago

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast5d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

gold_drake5d ago

shining force.

but indont see that happening unfortunately.
