Adam Braunstein "Assassin's Creed Mirage is a very smart reboot, taking the series back to its roots. There are several other franchises that really need to take a leaf out of the same book."
This looks like a good option for A.C. fans who want to game on the go. Today, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be launching on June 6, 2024.
Free play is never a bad thing and two hours is a good look at the game. Today, Ubisoft announced a free trial for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Assassin's Creed Mirage featured several content elements that didn't make it to the final product, such as a dog and dog master enemy.
RE: got soft-rebooted with REVII already
Batman: Well ... yeah the next Bats is least likely to be a continuation of Arkham ...
Battlefield: BF games seldom resemble their prequel counterparts ... most were mini-reboots sort of ...
Ghost Recon: YES! please, reboot and return to roots
Halo: yeah .... ok
personal additions:
F.E.A.R, Quake (a la Doom'16 style), Rainbow 6, DeadRising, .....
Resident Evil will need one eventually, our favourite old school characters are getting old in game and they won’t be around for much longer. Capcom should use a remake of the original Resident Evil as their reboot and update the game so the Arklay Mansion incident happens in the 2020s so the characters are young again. After this game they can do anything they want with Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon etc. Hopefully they won’t continue the new timeline in real time with us so the characters won’t age so quickly again.
Halo needs one because I think they’ve done so many novels and the like where they expect you to have read everything to understand their main games.
Same could be said for Kingdom Hearts, they expect to have played all the side games and even the current online game they have going on with the upcoming mobile game Missing Link. KH4 could have started a good softboot for the franchise but even in KH3 with Maleficent’s side plot where she was looking for the black box, those plot elements are from the MMO Kingdom Hearts X. It’s kind of a joke now how convoluted the story has become and yet they still continue to do it.
Assassins Creed needs to go back to the beginning and make a game what AC was all about. I thought AC Mirage would do that but the main character is someone introduced in Valhalla and the gameplay video I saw he could teleport, like it was some power similar to Dishonoreds “Blink” which is beyond silly for this kind of game, it’s not even the First Civilisations technology aswell.
Mass Effect is one but don’t include the reapers.
Strike Series needs one as nothing has come out since the PS1 days.
And maybe something from the Landstalker/Alundra lineage.
