Top 10 Games That Deserve a Reboot Pt.2


[Music]
here are 10 more classics for your
consideration
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for another
top 10 video games that deserve reboot
you must be the Hopkins boy where’d you
come from we’ve been expecting you
with over 350 games suggested by you
mojo holux it’s clear that not
everyone’s pick is gonna make this list
and because of this we decided to
exclude games that already appeared on
our top ten most wanted HD remakes list
such as f-zero also since this is our
second list on this topic if your
favorite wasn’t on here be sure to check
out our previous list to see if it made
it there number 10 advanced Wars Western
players did not get a taste of
Nintendo’s Wars series until the Game
Boy Advance
yet it quickly garnered a huge following
and was one of the best games on the
system still few gamers have experienced
the surprisingly in-depth turn-based
gameplay or the excellent multiplayer
map function even though there’s mounds
of replayability there was comparable
little lore to get your teeth stuck into
bar a few recurring elements like the
orange star nation and the selection of
commanding officers
furthermore the turn-based strategy
genre has seen a new age of revival as
of late thanks to the likes of XCOM zone
reboot and Nintendo’s other RTS series
Fire Emblem so this seems like a
no-brainer
[Music]
number 9 jet force Gemini another one of
those gems off of rares production line
this sci-fi third-person shooter sadly
never gone a sequel perhaps as a result
of selling only 1 million copies a
relatively small figure for the
developers of the mammoth n64 successes
like Goldeneye double-oh-seven
and banjo kazooie even by today’s
standards it’s over world seems enormous
and after your epic bug blasting
Adventure is over you’ll be sad to leave
Juno Vella lupus and the adorable tribal
behind
there’s still plenty of interest in the
IP however it was part of rares replay
collection and Microsoft still holds an
active trademark meaning an explosive
return for us bake sparing trio might
not be too far fetched to dream
number eight perform gym this groovy
worm might have drifted out of
popularity since the turn of the century
yet the series is trademark surrealist
humor remains an asset ready for
interpretation rumors about a fourth gym
title have swirled since 2008 and while
Gameloft did grace us with a fantastic
HD remaster of the original game in 2010
we still haven’t seen anything original
since gyms 3d disaster if Gameloft can
pull off a remaster imagine what could
be done with a bit more creative freedom
that’s not to say the series works only
as a platformer however as the animated
show demonstrates this mighty fine
fellow possesses as much flexibility as
you would expect
[Music]
number seven bully many say that this
open world title from Rockstar is just
DTA in school a fair enough criticism
bully features a typical rise to power
plot and plenty of violence yet the
Bulworth Academy setting is so distinct
and it’s a tragedy and never received a
sequel school life produces such a
steady stream of relatable narratives
and interesting mechanics that it’s
unusual how few games have exploited
such a common experience yeah sure
minor gameplay elements are one area
where a bully reboot could certainly
improve its minigames were pretty
repetitive yet with Dan house are still
interested in the game’s compelling
teenage tales we might finally get those
tweaks after more than a decade of
school you’ve done a lot of naughty
things haven’t you vandalism graffiti
bad language violent conduct
disrespecting staff oh I’m scared of you
Hopkins
number 6 Dino Crisis hmm the brass is
still warm these guards were shooting at
something very recently you’d think you
just need one simple equation to sell
this series survival horror plus
Dinosaurs equals profit right in the
franchise’s early life that equation was
working out perfectly yet similarly to
the Resident Evil series that the first
game is often compared to Capcom beard
the franchise towards an action
orientation much to its detriment
Dino Crisis threes notoriously terrible
camera killed this series but now with
VR storming into the mainstream the
prospect of being stalked by Jurassic
tormenters has never been so terrifying
number five jak and daxter it wasn’t
through a lack of effort from Naughty
Dog that this popular platformer series
went relatively dormant in the 2010s as
various circumstances conspired to
prevent them from taking their concept
any further the genre had shewn the move
to the ps3 and Naughty Dog’s focus on
mature games held the proposed reboot
back denying the fanbase a game that
would likely be polarizing I told you we
shouldn’t have come in and you listened
what keeping everyone happy will be the
challenge of any new jak game it’ll have
to be faithful yet fresh with a story
that is as memorable as the previously
established Lord there’s only one person
who has studied dark ego long enough to
have a chance at returning you to your
previous form it can be done the Ratchet
and Clank reboot has reinvigorated that
series it just needs a careful hand or a
paw if you get my meaning
forget it buddy Jack might never dude
what don’t worry number for burnout as
breathtakingly large as open-world
racing games like the crew undeniably
are they’re often lacking in the thrills
and exhilaration Department even if
you’re more inclined about a serious
racing experience you can’t deny burnout
status as a genre leader in competitive
carnage the series is earlier entries
particularly takedown where a must have
on the sixth generation of consoles as
the now legendary crash modes also
transformed it into an all-out vehicular
combat title
smashing your friends into oncoming
traffic at 150 miles per hour is one of
the best multiplayer experiences you can
have let’s hope that three fields
entertainments long touted spiritual
successor gets us where we need to go
number three spiral the dragon before
Skylanders turned to fearsome little
purple dragon into a barely recognizable
frog like abomination Spyro was
challenging super mario 64 as the best
3d platformer available spiral thanks
for helping us fight off the lizards
please take this talisman of glimmer as
a sign of our gratitude even though the
series is quality deteriorated when
insomniac games shifted their focus to
ratchet & clank fans have never given up
hope of returning to the innocent
essence of that trio of original games
they didn’t innovate considerably in
terms of gameplay but instead added new
characters like hunter the cheetah and
Bianca to further develop Spyro story
for gamers of a certain era the adorable
dragon was there as you grew up so it’s
time to show dis generation what a real
Spyro title looks like hahaha
how sad look here dragon if you know
what’s good for you you’ll turn around
and crawl back up that hole you came
through number 2 time splitters
[Music]
it might not have been a big seller
but this goldeneye inspired FPS stuck
long in the memory for those lucky
enough to pick it up the cartoonish
style and wacky sense of humor is so
fondly remembered by one hearty group of
fans that they’ve spent nearly four
years developing their own version of
the original game
[Music]
the time-traveling elements of this
franchise afford a reboot an unlimited
degree of freedom meaning it could be
entirely possible to play as a
gingerbread man in Victorian England
it’s not all gimmicks and giggles
however features like a map editor and
multiplayer a I added the kind of depth
that even the most hardcore shooter can
definitely respect
before we reveal our top pick here a few
honorable mentions number one Crash
Bandicoot we are getting a remaster of
the first three games
crashes appearing in the upcoming
Skylanders title and he’s even had a
cameo in uncharted 4 going to the game
yeah and the circle button is your
stereo spin attack surely the way is
paved for a whole new platformer
featuring our favorite marsupial right
while Skylanders is not the platformer
fans were hoping any original story
would come on
crashes HD design looks promising and
developers Vicarious Visions have said
they’re working hard to recreate the way
that he moves and behaves any one given
the responsibility of bringing sony’s
spinning mascot back should follow
Naughty Dog’s lead therefore games
account for nearly half of the 50
million units that the series sold if
they could bring it back successfully
we’d all be in for a whomping good time
[Music]

afraid afraid what which series do you
think should be reimagined from the
