Sequels that crashed the hype train: We look at five titles from fantastic franchises that would be crushed under the weight of their own hype.
The Outerhaven writes: Split/Second was the explosive arcade racing game that outshone Ridge Racer and Burnout. That is, until Disney shut it all down before a sequel could happen.
As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.
Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.
Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.
The Ace Combat series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and Bandai Namco revealed interesting initiatives, on top of a poignant message.
That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.
what a dumb take.
Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.
I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly
Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
Getting a victory in Fortnite Battle Royale is more more challenging after the recent change.
Post Silent Hill 2? Really? Both 3 and 4 were great games sure they aren't as good as 2 (especially 3) but both deserved to be played and enjoyed as classics.
Kinda dumb to have FFXIII on here since none of the numbered titles are actually sequels to previous ones. Mass effect 3 doesn't really deserve to be on this list as bad as Dragon Age 2 imo either. ME3 was a pretty great game aside from the botched ending.
What. FFXIII was pretty good and Silent Hill 3 and 4 were great.
This list is spot on if you ask me. FF13 although not a sequel, its not even in the top 15 of the all 15 Final Fantasy games...The ONLY thing that was good about 13 was the paradigm shift fighting system. Cannot praise it enough.
> Kingdom hearts 3 was a no brainier, I have it for Xbox (should have gotten it for ps4 but whatever) lost the interest in it and didn't even play a full hour of that game before I got bored. I truly am disgusted with Squeenix for how they screwed up that franchise...talk about a WOW moment.
>Silent Hill was spot on post Silent Hill 2 (the best horror game I have EVER played) the others were just ok, nothing to speak on and remember.
>As for Spyro, after the first one on Playstation (a classic), Spyro who?????
I am not the type of gamer that looks a lineage as a means to decide if a game is good or not. What I mean by this is Silent Hill 3 and 4 do not get any bumps in popularity because Silent Hill 2 was so good. They are judge separately which is why Mass Effect 3 was an utter absolute failure and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.
