I might survive, but it probably won't be Bioshock anymore.

I have a giant amount of admiration for the man and his body of work. That said, I thought Infinite was rather disappointing, and a shell of the game it was supposed to be.

That was after basically being written a blank check, and given an unchecked development period. Definite mismanagement on his part.

I'm interested in seeing what new hands make out of the franchise.

1st Bioshock is a masterpiece. 2nd a very competent sequel. Infinite... an absolute disaster of a game. I don't think it's any secret that most of the game's shortcomings and failures were attributed to Ken Levine's mismanagement and his unchecked ego, which ultimately led to multiple iterations during development and in turn caused an unraveling of the project and final product. And even further justification as to why it was crucial to introduce a turn toward the familiar with the Burial At Sea DLC... That said, I'm excited at the prospect of a new Bioshock. Let someone else take the reigns and deliver.

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.

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.

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

anast3d ago

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

shining force.
