looking at entries in video game series
that took the story and gameplay in new
directions so much snow that many people
may not have realized that they were
playing a game in an already existing
franchise number 5 castlevania lords of
Shadow this long-running action horror
series started way back on the 80s as a
side-scrolling adventure game while the
series has experimented with its
gameplay mechanics it’s also spawned
over 30 titles so it’s only natural that
at some point the series would get a
little stale enter 2010’s lords of
Shadow which you may not have realized
was a reboot due to the franchise’s
expansive catalog while it did keep some
elements from the classic games it also
brought in new enemy types unlockable
combos and a third-person perspective
even if some players missed the
foundation of the classic games these
new features helped the game earn a
decent amount of critical and commercial
success
number four Prince of Persia the sands
of time
[Music]
the original Prince of Persia was a
groundbreaking title for its time thanks
to the use of rotoscope for detailed
animations though it’s also a game that
didn’t really age well due to its rather
slow pace nevertheless when it was time
to take the series in a new direction
developer Ubisoft bumped up the speed
for far more intense gameplay and it’s a
good thing they did it’s so quiet out
there
it’s terrible revolving around the
incredibly useful ability to rewind time
the game was an overnight success
this in turn opened the series up to an
entirely new group of gamers number
three Shadow Warrior this is definitely
one of the most obscure games on this
list
while most rebooted games are based off
existing franchises this FPS was a
reboot of a single PC game that came out
over 15 years earlier the 1997 PC
original received mixed reviews and did
little to stand out from Duke Nukem 3d
which the game was serving as a
spiritual successor to however the 2013
reboot fared quite well thanks to its
over-the-top story and fun gameplay that
had just slaying hordes and demonic
enemies it even got a pretty sweet
sequel in 2016 that added enjoyable
co-op features meaning we’ll probably be
seeing a bit more of the series in the
future
number two starfox 64 the original Star
Fox was originally intended to show off
the graphical capabilities of the SNES
super FX chip and while it certainly was
visually groundbreaking for its time it
aged kinda quickly due to the ever
improving 3d processing capabilities
from Nintendo’s competitors at the time
as such a nearly completed sequel to the
game was completely canceled so that
they could give the series the
processing power it needed on the 64 the
result was actually the first ever video
game reboot to be released before the
term reboot was even used at any form of
media entertainment aside from the show
called reboot that was awesome now if
only they could recapture that magic
number one XCOM enemy Unknown like many
strategy games this franchise started
out on the PC way back in the 90s with
XCOM UFO defense the game was successful
and received quite a few sequels before
the cancellation of two upcoming games
much like Shadow Warrior many people may
not have known that they 2012 release
was actually a reboot given the fact
that the last game came out 11 years ago
it was a risk for publisher 2k games
that really paid off
the reboot reinvigorated the intense and
addictive turn-based action that the
series was known for console releases
