The Guardian Legend Reborn

This is, without a doubt the one game that needs to be remade for current or next generation.

Allow me to explain.
For those of you that are over the age of 30, you may remember an 'under the radar' title that was beyond awesome. A game that combined the adventure/exploration of The Legend of Zelda with the twitch space shooter gameplay of Zanac to form one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

That game is The Guardian Legend.

If you've never played this game, you have no idea what you're missing. The story was simple; you have to stop a space station full of alien lifeforms from colliding with Earth, and the only way to do this is to engage the self destruct sequence of the station. Of course, the keys to do this are scattered throughout several levels of play. Several difficult, painful, throw-your-controller-at-the-s creen levels of play.

It was so damn awesome.

I've seen several remakes in the past decade or so that made me stop and wonder "How the hell did that merit a remake?". Games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Splatterhouse, and Warhawk (Warhawk, really?!). Let's finally do one right, do one that would be of benefit to the gamer. I think it's honestly a no-brainer.

Look, we all like good games, right? It's why websites like this exist. The original developer for TGL was Compile. Well, they're not around anymore, and I'm not really sure who owns the rights to this fabulous game, but it's high time that we, the gamers, spoke out. Let the movement begin! Post, troll, flame, and whine!

Create us a new Guardian Legend!

Wolfenstein has an important FPS heritage, even though the remakes don't do it justice.

"Warhawk (Warhawk, really?!)"

Well I can't say I ever played the original so I can't comment on it's quality but I'm VERY glad they did a remake. Warhawk on PS3 kept me playing online for a looooong time; brilliant game and it's successor, Starhawk, is still a party favourite when friends are round.

If people like the game as much as you do, there is a possibility of it returning again. I didn't expect Duck Tales to return at all and yet now it just so happened to come out of nowhere. A new generation of gamers will get a chance to enjoy old school game, with a nice HD shine put on it.

Might as well just cancel it.

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne1d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

We’re never getting an amazing mainline Pokémon game again are we

phoenixwing2h ago

Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying

ZeekQuattro1h ago

Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣

phoenixwing17m ago

@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them

It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.
