2010:The Year Of The Reboot

Gran Turismo 5 dated. Infamous 2, Resistance 3, and Uncharted 3 all officially revealed. PlayStation Move hits the streets.

For the most part 2010 was a year that gamers won’t soon forget but for some 2010 will also go down in history as the year of the reboot announcements. Reboot was probably one of the most used words this year with not one, but three popular franchises getting a face lift. Some more drastic than others.

haha every single one of these has received negative reactions or mixed feelings from fans

not a good sign

Quagmire4931d ago

DmC is being made by Ninja Theory = automatic purchase
SSX is mixing realism with fantasy, what's wrong with that? Not like new-comers to the series will care.
Tomb Raider reboot, how is that bad? They're focusing more in depth with gameplay/story rather than visual umm...aesthetics.

I didn't know a sequel necessarily constituted a reboot now.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire95113d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro113d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist112d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx113d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic1881113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire95113d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist113d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp113d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg113d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion113d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
