15 Dead Video Game Series That Should Come Back as Shorter Experiences

Even if they've laid dormant for a long time or were known for their massive scale, these franchises could work as more condensed games.

I don't think you can get more condensed than Second Son, it was pretty short and felt like stuff was missing at times.

Snookies12582d ago

Yeah, I really loved Second Son but it definitely felt too short. Another couple hours of story content and it would have been excellent.

Magatsuhi582d ago

What's with companies wanting to shorten games? It's as if they want to cater to gamepass and lower the quality of games.

BrainSyphoned582d ago

Or maybe they want to cut the generic Starfield out of their game and make a focused higher quality game.

TwistedXenos582d ago (Edited 582d ago )

they can do all that without cutting the content, the content cutting is a desire of a capitalist, minimal effort and maximum profit. I love this website talking about shorter experience while making 15 pages of text for clicks.

Games1st582d ago

Yikes 15 pages. Don't need a shorter experience for Second Son.

Knightofelemia582d ago

I agree Dino Crisis and ZOE. But I also want Sony to dust off Wild Arms. See if Square can do something with Parasite Eve and Grandia. Would love a new Resistance game also Kain just so many great titles and franchises that need to see the light again.

Pyrofire95581d ago

InFamous 1&2 Remakes would kick so much ass. They are inherently fun to play and modern visuals would rock.

Abear21581d ago

Yeah they could just remaster them and I’d buy day one

Unique PlayStation Games Where You Sweep Through Enemies Like They're Nothing

Huzaifah from eXputer writes, "My favorite type of genre in games is when enemies are merely animal fodder in the eyes of the protagonist's sheer power."

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake329d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn328d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga327d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX328d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup328d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992328d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack328d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000328d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx328d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty328d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125328d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc328d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies328d ago (Edited 328d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto328d ago (Edited 328d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg328d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

.
(well, they're likely also working with Nixxes for the inevitable Spider-Man 2 PC port as well)

Cacabunga351d ago

Wise decision, enough with old gen games already!!!

DarXyde351d ago

Sunset Overdrive was great...

I quite enjoyed the Demons' Souls remake too. I'm more or less begging for a Bloodborne sequel but would snap up a remake in a heartbeat.

Concertoine350d ago

I’d rather play an older unique game than a new Marvel game.

Im so blown out on Marvel, I can’t fathom how some people seem to have a bottomless appetite for it. A studio like Insomniac could do way better.

just_looken351d ago

Yep those poor devs are now a marvel sweat camp

This port and a quick pc patch to fix some bugs would have been a great idea i actualy forgot its not on ps5 you think it would have by now.

But hey they got like you said spiderman 2 pc port then spiderman 3 then spiderman collection with a wolverne/blade tossed in.

Amplitude350d ago

From everything we've seen, it's not like Insomniac is being forced to make Marvel games - it's clearly a good partnership that results in good games. They're still making Ratchet games anyway which is what really matters

Redemption-64350d ago

I have no idea why people like you keep making lies. Does it help you sleep at night? Where are you getting this information that they are either being forced or made into a Marvel camp? Sony approach Insomniac when they were independent to work on a Marvel IP and they picked Spider-Man. After the success of Spider-Man, it was Insomniac who pitched Wolverine to Sony/Marvel and was given the green light

This is new…it pretty much confirms it can happen eventually.

I thought Microsoft had publishing rights or something

Eonjay351d ago

Yes you are right. Microsoft allegedly has rights to the first game. Perhaps Microsoft wasted to sell it back to Sony in exchange for a port to Xbox Series. This would make the statement make more sense because I can't imagine that a port of this game even compares to the creation of Wolverine. So Microsoft probably requested a multiplat port.

gold_drake351d ago

yeh, the article says as much that MS does have publishing rights.

Profchaos351d ago

They do but Microsoft doesn't really care about the game they are considering Halo 1 for ps5 so this would be nothing

badz149351d ago

MS doesn't just have the publishing rights for SSoD, they also have publishing rights for the next 2 games in the franchise!

Zeke68350d ago

" The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game"

Seems Insomniac own the rights after all...

badz149350d ago

@Zeke68

publishing rights is not the same as IP rights or ownership. for SSoD, Insomniac owns the IP, MS owns the publishing rights. just like Sony with Spider-man. Sony only owns the publishing rights to the movies and games but the IP is still owned by Marvel/Disney.

Zeke68350d ago

See my comment below. When Insomniac left M$ they let Microsoft keep their publishing rights for... drumroll... Xbox and PC.
If they want to release it on PS they can let Sony publish it.

“It is important to note that Xbox owns the publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive.

Therefore, a PS5 port would need to be approved by Microsoft.”

I said this eight days ago and got disagrees.

Fishy Fingers351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

Most people dont read bro..

Had it been their IP through and through it would of been an easy release for them and its a fun game, probably would of already happened. The people saying no ones cares about Sunset Overdrive would be saying cant wait to play in 4K 60 if announced

NotoriousWhiz350d ago

"Most people dont read bro.."

Facts.

Zeke68350d ago (Edited 350d ago )

"Most people dont read bro..."

"The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game. Sunset Overdrive was made for Microsoft's Xbox One console; it was released on the 20th anniversary of Insomniac, in 2014"

What I read is that Insomniac still own the rights to the game. Prove me wrong! ;)

Edit M$ owns publishing rights on Xbox, not Playstation as they never intended to release it on PS ever.

KwietStorm_BLM351d ago

We can forget about all of their iconic IPs. They're a Marvel studio now.
