You talk about Metal Gear, Thief and Splinter Cell. But the series I miss the most and seems to be completely forgotten is the Tenchu series. It had a unique atmosphere and feeling within the stealth genre.
YES. Loved Tenchu
Yeah, agreed. Lots of features that made Tenchu a very enjoyable and memorable experience. I liked picking what I though would be the most relevant tools and gear when starting a mission, the lively inhabited environments, the needed observation and planning skills when wiping out all the enemies undetected, eavesdropping and encountering funny and strange npc dialogue in the otherwise serious and dangerous atmosphere, also the amount of patience and skill to become succesfull and achieve top rank for missions. Just nothing else like it. FromSoftware knew what they were doing.
Sekiro is cool and all but it's not Tenchu.
I know it’s pretty different, but Sekiro is a spirit successor to tenchu.
I was thinking the exact same thing! I'd never even heard of Thief until maybe two years ago, but Tenchu is probably the very first series I think of when I think stealth.
Tenchu Wrath of Heaven was my favorite stealth game.
Sleeping Dogs man. It’s probably the most underrated shit in the gaming industry. Don’t know how many times I’ve played it over these years but watching the streets of Hong Kong in that game is so chaotic and calming at the same time.
Yeah, true. So fucking great game. Like the other games of True Crime series.
Yeah one of gems and Quantum Breack too
Binary Domain!
Sleeping Dogs is STILL Amazing!!!
A man who never eats pork buns, is never a whole man!
Midnight Club and Dishonored need more entries to the series
I like how Timesplitters made a cameo with the newspaper clipping, but was not on the list. Timesplitters 2 was one of the most fun games that I played on the Playstation 2, especially the multi-player.
Trying to get platinum medals on all the challenges WAS the thing that made the game an all time great. I spent 100s of hours trying to essentially 100 percent those challenges and some of them were next to impossible but I eventually got it.
Seeing Splinter Cell: Conviction on the thumbnail made my heart lit up. That old man climbed up the pipes like he had a super serum. And the badass exit from the 3rd Echelon building, the best.
Mercenaries. First one was such a blast. I had so much fun replaying it a year ago.
fun fact the 'just cause' games were the mercenaries games spiritual successor
God I miss mercenaries...I still play them both but I would love a new one.
I was rooting for Mercenaries to pop up in the video. I loved the Mercenaries 2 ad campaign song too ("Oh No You Didn't").
Mercs 2 was a banger. I wish they had the cheats available for it now, but they're locked behind online connection lmao
@@jonsimpson6569Things being locked behind online connection is so bad..the only thing that should be locked is multiplayer servers if they shut them down
where tf is infamous
Prototype is a far better game than infamous.
A new “Condemned: Criminal Origins” We need a new survivor, horror, detective genre. That game was way ahead of its time.
Yes definitely the first game had me in chills and the story telling and setting plus combat is very underrated and number 2 built on that and was faster a next gen game of this franchise would be very awesome!
Absolutely agree, I loved the Condemned games
rampaging drug addicts in unreal 5, just imagine the horror.
Absolutely, loved them both,great solid games.
I would love another L.A Noire game so sad it didn't get popular with as many people
Same replaying it now ironically
I think a modern day upgrade to Dino Crisis would be pretty cool. They could do it like their RE remakes.
Capcom should be all over a remake of Dino Crisis after the success of the RE games. Those first two DC titles were amazing, if brought back with modern survival horror gameplay they would be hits again for sure. Still don't know why they chose to make Exoprimal which was basically a tease for DC fans rather than giving us what we actually wanted. Hopefully one day it will happen.
And Imagine the mod you can put on it
Agree
They're just afraid of messing it up again after the DC3 disaster.
Parasite Eve as well.
I wish they would continue making these game series:
-Splinter Cell
-Burnout
-Road Rash
-Medal Of Honor
-Spore (I guess it can be considered a series if we count Darkspore as a spin off)
-Primal Rage (it was supposed to get a sequel,but it was never finished and released)
-Croc
-Gex
-Spyro (I know we got a remaster of the original trilogy a few years ago,but I'd also like a new game)
-Ape Escape.
And Syphon Filter!
you just called out my feelings. (especially with Road Rash, Burnout and Splinter Cell)
Croc was my entire childhood!
I don't want. At least these days. Cuz wокеtards are trying to ruin every game IP. Maybe it will be change in next five year.
Split Second, what a game!
I love the first prototype and was also very pleased that you mention Burnout, the series that I would like to play more of is the "Motorstorm" series, Pacific Rift was so enjoyable to play, after needing to sell my ps3 it's one of the games I missed the most to play.
InFAMOUS should’ve been on the list. It was my personal favorite and although I do like Second Son, it was Cole Trilogy that made me fall in love with electricity manipulation and admire its versatility
Way better games than prototype for me. I tried prototype and never even beat it because i got bored fast. Infamous had problems but was such fun ride
Infamous 1 was really good, but the sequel was terrible. I never got to play the spin-off, sadly. Would love more games with interesting original superheroes, esp. with fun travel powers. I'm tired of playing Spider-Man and Batman.
And that's why they won't make anymore.
"I liked the new one, but it's not the OG."
Why make a sequel if fans of the OG games won't buy it because it isn't the same characters, doing something only slightly different?
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2. You know why Konami didn't make another one of those in a medieval setting (like every CV ever)? Because most developers don't want to make the same game over and over again. We can call Konami having screwed that game by making it drab and empty and boring, but really.. they just let the devs do what they wanted to, and the wanted to do something different.
Tons of sequels that have stuck to their guns have done well and they get new games (Burnout being a big exception). But tons of games that stuck to their guns also ended up bankrupting their studios, or coming REALLY close.
Like, the last Splinter Cell gained the studio less than a million dollars in profit ALL TIME. That's a lot of renewing licenses, paying royalties, server fees, and all the fun stuff that goes into any game over the last ten years.
There are also a ton of franchises that have changed hands. Series like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot that are feast or famine.
The industry leaves some behind (Ninja Gaiden is a bit too heavy into the DOA crossover characters and showing some T&A. I mean, they added that, and it went to shit. So while you might like that in your bloody ninja action games, it was no small part of the worst game in the series.)
And, to be blunt, some just get forgotten. Like Dino Crisis, X-Men Legends (sort of revitalized in Midnight Suns), most every extreme sports game (again, the extreme sports industry just doesn't have the audience it once did), or "competitor series" aka games like NHL / NFL 2K, NBA Live, whether do to developers buying exclusivity or lack of interest.
Personally, I'd love to see Capcom take a page out of Ubisoft's new POP game and make a brand new Bionic Commando in the same vein, but I'll happily wait for Contra: Operation Galuga while I dream of that improbability.
@@GwenActuallywhat? Infamous 2 was great! It was like the first but extra improvements and better powers.
@@floatinghamstick Infamous 2 was amazing. I haven't come across another video game power quite as engrossing as the Ionic Vortex. I loved seeing the collateral damage as the vortex tore down the balconies of every building in sight.
Legacy of Kain is my "i've been waiting for 20 years for a new game"
Yes I know 😢😂 breaks my heart
👍🏼
I beat LoK 1 so many times on Ps1 and then Dreamcast. That game was brilliant. Just... chefs kiss
As long as a single one of us remembers... We Are Legion
The one series of games I miss most is the Conflict games. Conflict Desert Storm 1 and 2, Conflict Vietnam, and Conflict Global Terrorism. You could play solo or with 3 friends split screen. They were some of the best milsim games I ever played. I think there is a Conflict Denied Ops in 2008 also but never played it. Its unfortunate that you can't play them on new gen and never got added to the xbox live store ever and never got remastered and I haven't played them since regular Xbox around 2005/6. They were some of the best games I have ever played. I might just go buy a regular Xbox just to play those again.
Yes this! Someone remembers. There's no telling how many times I played all 4 over and over. (Denied Ops was a terrible generic FPS)
Also SOCOM
Just a few that need a mention are Road Rash, Dino Crisis, Max Payne, CoolBoarders, Jet Moto, Midnight Club and Twisted Metal.
Miss the unique charm so many games used to have.
Or maybe it was childhood..
Both. Straight up both.
yea it was both, gaming was at it peak during the early 00’s because every idea was almost new still.. everything nowadays is reused and half asses.
Gaming is great now as well if we try out new genres.
Both. But i would change "charm" with "innovation". Now its difficult to make something "new", not only because it is expensive, but also because as with any art form, most was already been invented.
@@utubeuser88292nah 2010s was better
I would love to see updated versions / remasters of
• LoK - Soul Reaver (Including cut content)
• Command & Conquer (3)
• Tenchu
• Lair
• Rygar
Edit: C&C 3 Specifically, because of looks, factions and game mechanics, all updated to current gen quality.
Soul Reaver regrettably has a huge amount of cut content, that would've pushed the game even further into unrivalled brilliance.
oh god I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants a Tenchu comeback.
Command & Conquer did get an HD Remaster. But it was just that, audio and visual updates. Nothing done to change anything. Even the AI that is stopped via sandbags & expo via sandbags as well.
@@kingbbarry Indeed. No real iprovements except for audio and visuals. Just a rehash.
Ninja Gaiden for the X-box felt like a predecessor to modern souls like games such as Sekiro, Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor, Lies of P, etc.
It offered a relatively slow pace of combat which rewards timing and strategy and punishes brainless button mashing. The setting also offers a semi open ended Metroid-vania map which progressively opens up and loops around back on itself. It also introduced me to the concept of punishing boss battles, which could take multiple attempts. It’s so nice to see you that 20 years later, the public still has a hunger for these type of demanding yet rewarding, action games.
Glad you mentioned the extreme genre as a whole when talking about THPS. So many hours of my childhood were spent playing not just the THPS series, EA Sports Big titles like SSX 3 & Tricky, Freekstyle, NBA Street, and Def Jam Fight for New York.
I spent so many hours just messing around in NFL Street. The Street games really need to make a comeback.
Sleeping dogs. I know it’s not a series.. but it should have been. It was such an amazing foundation that could have been HUGE. It could have truly rivaled GTA after a few entries. It was familiar, but very innovative. Everything we love about GTA but with differing styles. Leaping from cars to steal a vehicle? Martial arts? And the martial arts style completely changes based on what you’re wearing! Like that level of detail is incredible. It was very unique but familiar at the same time. Not a perfect game, but a wonderful foundation that could have been built on.
Since Sleeping Dogs is a spiritual successor to the True Crime games, I’m just going to say I want the True Crime series back. GTA style but you’re a cop, investigating and shooting out the underbellies of big cities would be great in the 2020s. I feel like any game where you play as a cop is going to be problematic these days, unfortunately.
@@1991awest probably. But it would also be nice if GTA went back to its gangster roots. Instead of just doing modern day trends.. GTA V was fun, something different, but I was hoping it wouldn’t become the norm. And judging by GTA VI it definitely is. They doubled down.. the trailer was just recreating social media videos lol so it’s definitely just modern day life. That’s not escapism which I generally want from video games.
@@Nathan35077game is a top 3 best selling game every month for a decade.
Yeah, sorry you thought Rockstar would EVER abandon that.
@@Nathan35077I agree, it's also debatable that the two best games in the series, vice city and san andreas take place in the past.
I think it would be fine if they didn't try to make social commentary about everything, like the job interview that Michael does in 5.
The one thing that I hated about this game was running everywhere. I hate a game that forces running. Other than that a solid enough game.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is the most deep stealth game ever made. Metal Gear Solid 2 is a close second. Nothing compares to this day. You could capture a bad guy, and force him to give up information, scan his hand on a lock, use his face for retinal scanner, etc etc.
Splinter Cell, MGS, Hitman, and many more. These are all my favorite games, I really like stealth genre games, but unfortunately nowadays developers rarely make stealth games. In fact, there are almost no stealth games, maybe there are but those are indie games.
What are you talking about? They are still making hitman games, and the last one is still getting updates to this day.
@@KalvinDeen just update, no another series. 😔
@@FuntastersThey gave 47 a proper ending and they also said they'll continue the Hitman series after finishing the 007 game.
Three games I would love to see make a comeback:
1. Mercenaries
2. Thrillville
3. A conker's bad fur day reboot or entirely new game.
Mercenaries blew me away back in the day. I'd love to find a copy and play it again one of these days.
dude I LOVED the burnout series! Especially 3 when they added in the wreck mode where all you did was try to cause as much monetary damage with one wreck as possible. I used to play it for hours with my cousins what great memories
Same! I remember having so many nights with my friends in middle school playing Burnout 3 all night trying to cause as much damage as possible, such a fun game.
for those of you who wants to see cars wrecked into oblivion with good new graphics, try Wreckfest. Its made by team that made Flatout, which was my favourite racing game back in those days.
Greatest mode in any racing game ever.
So glad you mentioned Prototype. So much fun and so in need of a modern make over.
yes!!! that needs to happen
Honestly i thought the hulk game was better
Loved Prototype, some great original ideas in it
Alex Mercer is the goat
@@Tak1samfisher2 greatest antihero of all time?
Battle Tanks... SUPER fun game with a bunch of different tanks that were fast and weak or heavy armored and slow with a big gun. Level destruction, and pick up that changed the fire rate or what kind of gun you had. I remember sinking a lot of time into those games on the 64.
Seeing a Metal Gear Rising Revengeance 2 would be absolutely incredible.
(We need it.)
Yesss. Love Revengeance and still replay it
@@joshhaney9769 Saaame✨
I hoped that the Sly Cooper series would make the list, even though the original is 20+ years old it still holds up to be a good game.
Yep. I also wish they made a new jak game. Felt like there was more story room to feel by the end of the third one. Frontier was terrible though.
Definitely a bummer with Thieves in Time ending on a cliffhanger.
There were Easter eggs in the new Rachet and Clank game. I took that as they might be doing something with it 🤞🏻
Jak and Daxter as well while we’re at it
Sucker Punch is making Ghost of Tsushima 2 and Naughty Dog TLOU3 so we'll not see Sly or Jak any time soon
They need to either bring back or remake the first 2 inFamous games.
Both with the UGC feature, which was frikkin awesome.
I have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours making my own story missions in UGC creator.
0:53 there is your problem. A 55 yo lady with too many cats is in charge of the splinter cell.
I would also like more entries to the Okami series
I personally liked Infamous way more then prototype (not saying prototype not fun) but Infamous really had something special especially being able to CHOOSE the path of a hero or a villain and actually having different gameplay and endings based on the path you choose. Such a classic!!
The second one, maybe. Not the first lol. It was an illusion, you practically played the same game all over again.
YES WE need infamous 1 and 2 remastered 😢 i miss those two so much
Remember the Vampire DLC was dope! You could fly!
What about beyond good and evil for the ps2
i want all of them to get remastered i really miss Infamous especially festival of blood fuck that was a great game
Sleeping Dogs need a shout out as well. I still don't know why there's no open world games as huge as SD's Hong Kong with beautiful hand to hand combat, environmental takedowns, and packed world content. Yakuza and Shenmue exists but imagine driving in the streets of Hong Kong but with current gen graphics.
The melee fighting is amazing and varied; the environmental takedowns are just the icing on top. Story and characters are excellent. The game still looks and sounds great too, with city streets filled with NPCs.
That game was the best ive played, especially when you takedown the enemies like ip man.
THANK YOU. bro I commented the same thing. can we just talk about how much we love sleeping dogs because no one ever does.its literally one of my favorite games ever and you are so right we need Hong Kong in current graphics
Id love another Resistance game
Rockstar made The Warriers which has great hand to hand they could make a game like Sleepknh dogs if they wanted to.
That's Crazy you put Thief as people who mention stealth games, ahead of: Tenchu, Hitman, Assassin's Creed (earlier ones more so). Maybe it's a personal favourite, but it's more unknown than those others.
It really should've been MGS, Splinter Cell, and Hitman. Those are the big 3.
I'm so glad you mentioned legends, that cliffhanger has haunted my life.
I'm glad to hear Legacy of Kain is on this list, man that series was so epic in my younger days. Blood omen was fun original and creative with 2 different possible endings. Then the canon ending was actually the evil ending which set up such a great world state and story for Soul Reaver. Shifting between the material and spirit worlds to solve puzzles, the unique combat system, and the grand story telling was so undeniably fresh and different. The final entry Defiance, (we dont talk about Nosgoth), left off on a big cliffhanger after some pretty big reveals. A new entry in the series would be incredible!
Trouble is this series might just hold the record for the most canceled sequels of all time. Makes me sad
Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory has one of the best soundtracks ever created, with Amon Tobin squarely in his bag, and I miss getting cool music with my cool game instead of generic orchestration
With what Naughty Dog did with Last of Us (releasing both pieces on the same hardware, with the same models, running on the same engine), a truly wonderful idea would be a remaster of the ENTIRE Legacy of Kain series. All 5 games, with storyboarded transitional scenes worked in.
An experience one could play back to back, or just an anthology collection.
They're doing it with Tomb Raider, and that's fine. But Legacy of Kain was afar more interesting series than Indiana Boobjob.
@@deadeyedmillennialmediaI mean, sure, but why did you comment that on THIS comment?
Can't make your own? At least I'm talking about the game he mentioned 😂
@@nolankuffner3573 I couldn't agree more. I'd only we could be so lucky. That would be one of the only times I am willing to preorder anything. And the idea of an anthology or multi title release for the next gen? Yep, I'm sold already lol. Love your ideas!
Time splitters ..... was easily the best game growing up and so underrated
Bought them on Xbox, still gems
such a gem of a game, you could even play against Bots who were not useless
Absolutely. Tremendous games. Did you play their other game, Second Sight? It's a great game
I remembers playing with bots all day on the snow map
I was about to comment that you didn't include Mega Man X and Legends but wow, you actually mentioned them at the end of the video. 👍
Other games to include in a part 2 video:
- Tenchu
- Breath of Fire
- Castlevania
- Marvel vs Capcom
- Earthbound / Mother
- Earthworm Jim
Metal Gear, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Def Jam, True Crime, Sleeping Dogs, Midnight Club, Rainbow Six Vegas, Uncharted, Halo reach, Resistance, even Killzone. For me, the golden age of gaming was between 2005-2012. Would love to see these series return 😢
I really miss Legacy of Kain, but I don't trust modern Crystal Dynamics not to mess it up.
Was looking for this comment 🫡
Yup just like Tomb Raider😩
Stop crying TR reboots are fine@@yodoleheehoo90
I would love to see the Sly Cooper and Syphon Filter series come back someday. Some of my most loved games, and now they just feel forgotten
the only form in which they would bring Logan and Syphon Filter back is if he gets emasculated and then replaced by a black woman.
or at very least be the dog character for his asian woman side kick.
its a nasty time for old heroes to come back.
^ Jesus my dude.
Syphon Filter was the first video game I ever owned. Many nights I stayed up playing that game or got up early morning to play a few hours before school.
@@1996Prelude same here. Whenever I think of PlayStation 1 that's the one game that brings back fond memories. I owe that game a lot because without it I wouldn't be the gamer that I am today. I thought it was cool that Days Gone had the Syphon Filter Easter egg and was so hoping that it would lead to a new game in the series.
Syphon Filter was a great game, truly a classic like so many from that era, but if I recall the aiming system was completely ass.
Seconding Syphon Filter
Red faction guerrilla is far to slept on, one of the best games made in its time, the destruction was like nothing else before or after it’s time. It’s literally a hidden gem.
The Tenchu series needs a revival. I loved those games and miss them dearly.
Honestly one thing we could really do with is a Sleeping Dogs sequel that game was incredible
Hell yeah square should go for it especially with them announcing they wanted to release diversity of games, if I remember correctly.
Definitely a forgotten masterpiece.
Not gonna lie, i STILL listen to Do You Know Me by 24 Herbs lol
@@StaredownGamesDon't forget "Do You Know Me". I love those songs!
I really want to see TimeSplitters get the reboot it deserves.
yess, it was sad that it wasn't mentioned on this video lol
all those gamemodes were fun af, specially the virus gamemode
Future perfect man
I like to think the one scene in Titanfall 2 was a nod to and a call back for that series.
To even think what THAT dev could do with it blows my mind.
I came to the comments looking for mention of timesplitters 😭
Really do want it to return also just finished playing them again for fun
My come back franchise wishlist:
1- Interstate '76 ('82)
2- Heavy Gear
3- Juiced
Let s not forget that Infamous was once considered The Best superhero simulator on the market. This was before the Arkam series. A remake would be cool.
A Splinter Cell game with the game engine technology we have today would be ridiculously good.
The lighting alone would play such a big part
Part of me feels like bad lands of the division started as a splinter cell game but became on the others later in its development.. not sure tho
Yes it's called the Division? Buts it's no where near as good
Hate to say it but it seems impossible at the time, great games take too much money and time, unless you’re capcom or naughty dog or rockstar and a few others it ain’t happening.
I'd love a new (or even remake of all the good older games) as a huge Splinter Cell fan.
There is an old horror game called "The Suffering" would of Loved to have seen an updated version of that. It had a really good setting, creature design and story.
I came here looking for this! Loved that game. My personal favorite PS2 game. I've been praying for a remake of it and it's sequel
@@brandonharris5152 yea I know, the sequel would need a whole redo In my opinion
Yesss the suffering was such an amazing game! Torque his backstory was crazy and the fact it was in the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia man. We're Capone was. Dr killjoy I love that game
Oh man good mention. That game was like one day away from exiting my memory completely.
Thank you for mentioning that
"It feels like half a game"....could be a quote about most modern games.
Funny thing about Crysis 2 is that it's set in 2023 yet here we are in 2024 and we don't have technology anywhere close to what's in the game.
I agree with almost all of these. One I am shocked you left out was Twisted Metal. Especially with that show being made. I would love a new Twisted Metal with online deathmatch.
Played so much twisted metal 2 as a kid. Would be cool to have gsmes like that. Can have online modes and stuff
Definitely need a new twisted metal
I want to see a sequel to the original _PREY_ from 2006. It ended on a cliffhanger when Tommy was at his grandfather's restaurant, and aliens came looking for his help in dealing with more creatures like the ones who kidnapped his grandpa and girlfriend, with them both having died.
I've been making head cannon for that cliffhanger for nearly 20 years now XD
I still remember the trailer for Prey 2 and it looked so badass. I absolutely hate that it got canceled
Don't forget Megaman Battle Network. Why do people forget about Megaman Battle Network series, both on Visual Boy Advance and 3DS? This was a really really good game series, people. :) Show it some love. I know there was a remake somewhat recently, but it would be nice to have a continueation.
Personally I'd love to see more games in the following series:
-Tomba! - Fun and unique platformer that was a hidden gem during the early days of PlayStation, but sadly ended after 2 games.
-Left 4 Dead - Most fans hoped that Back 4 Blood would live up to the Left 4 Dead, but most of us were sadly disappointed. We need a return to the classic Left 4 Dead franchise.
-Sly Cooper - Just awesome
-Bonk - Definitely an older game, but one that was fun and would be cool to see come back.
-Dead Space - After the recent remake of the original game, it would be awesome to follow it up with a new entry in the series.
-Suikoden - Although the later entries in the series were less popular, the franchise itself still draws interest for its earlier works. In the right hands, a new game in this series would be welcomed.
“Wreckfest” is a perfect example of a video game with destructive car models with no names being very popular.
Yes !! I’m on every track almost top 50
That one really stands out as a great game.
All hail the ocean hoarse !
GTA also.
100 percent agree with falcon,I'd rather see a no name car get mangled then play a game where a Ford or chevy stay in one piece
I love how the Burnout section is the longest rant! Honestly surprise of all the details about the manufacturer standpoint because that’s a crazy reason not to make it. I swear seeing some of those classic cars made me love cars!!
Discovered Burnout during the start of the decade and I loved it since. Despite how the crash cam works, I will always get a laugh out of a collision. Great franchise that needs more love.
Timesplitters and Tenchu. 2 games from my childhood that deserve a quality reboot with next gen capabilites.
I am now 41 years old.. O man you took me back to childhood. Splinter cell conviction / Crysis 2 / Far cry 1 .... golden days... Splinter cell conviction is my all time favorite specially the voice of fisher in the game..
I miss Siphon Filter. It was so damn ahead of it's time!
Me too, it was my first approach to a console shooter.
The only good thing i have now is to think of Days Gone as a sequel to Syphon Filter since it has all the conections to the original games
Yeah man! Absolute classic. Frustratingly challenging. People seem to have either forgotten that challenge=reward reward = cult classics and nostalgia. Devs don’t care about their games anymore. They care about the money, who can blame them. People just keep giving it to them.
We need to start holding them accountable and we need to start voting with our wallets.
I love Syphon Filter, and the original Trilogy will always be a big part of my childhood. Especially the second game where it had two protagonists with Gabe Logan and Lian Xing. It was just so fucking good.
Yesssssss!
Has good split screen fun playing that on the ps1. 👍
Would love a new Timesplitters game. Timesplitters 2 was one of my favourite PS2 games.
I'm really happy to see people still talking about Legacy of Kain, thank you for bringing attention to it with this video. It's a series that must not be left to die
You forget about NOLF(No one lives forever) and it's direct sequels. It is one of the best shooters which combine humor and action. For many years, no other sequel or prequel come due to IP complications. Very underrated series.
Ive been playing Evil West this week and ive really been enjoying it. Miss simple, fun games like this. Just a bit of chaos and a linear story, its really fun and looks great.
Got the same feeling with Robocop.
Ya playing it too and it reminds me of those good classic PS2 era games.
Playing through it now too. I love it
My husband was a dev on evil west! Glad to see people enjoying it
@@cannibalbunnygirl that's awesome, ya the game is great.
Would love to see SSX make a return. Especially on PC. Heck, wouldn't mind even a port of SSX Tricky or something.
Exactly. Something like that needs to happen a.s.a.f.p
Right? We havnt even had a snowboarding game in forever the only one we kinda have are the ones ubisoft made and they really were not as good as SSX or 1080° Air
Tricky remake would be awesome
You might want to check out Slopecrashers. Its still in development and it might not be your cup of tea because of the animal characters and it being an indie game.
@@reggiereg2064 - thanks! I've had that wishlisted on Steam as soon as I saw it. I look forward to seeing how it turns out 😆
8:40!! OMG!!
NOW your taking me back.
This series too I spent MOST of my youth playing and .... pun intended, I sank my teeth into. Starting with the first one on the PS1 of all consoles.
The story lines and the plots were AWESOME!!
And the choice actors I loved so much. Some of which we would all recognise if we saw them... AMAZING games.
AMAZING concepts!!
Loved this series so much...
🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Really appreciate every game series on this list and I still play every F.E.A.R game there is, Though the third game is super easy.
Time splitters was too fun, funky characters, great story and even multiplayer - very underrated or unspoken of.
Time splitters is neither underrated nor unspoken of, it was one of the most iconic games of its time and there are endless videos on YT about how great it is.
i only played the demo as a kid but the fckn snow level with the zombies legit was terrifying for young me
Seconded 👍🏾
the industry is at the point where i’m completely alright with seeing beloved franchises like these disappear, because it lets me know they’ll never be ruined by greed.
Yeah, worst of all they completely wiped out good old concept, i know tons of good game who have unique concept that could be succesfull if they improving that good old and unique gameplay
I agree with you.
You’re right. It is greed. And bad American culture… Remake?
and when you realise Crysis 4 and Splinter cells Remake are coming :D
Indie games are our only hope
“Splinter Cell invented the duck walk.”
Syphon Filter- “Am I a joke to you?!”
What about the Fable series. Such an underrated series.
The splinter cell games - particularly the second and third ones - were/are such a special experience.
Agreed completely! Even the multiplayer was such a unique experience. Then it was butchered by mechanics. I remember seeing the gameplay previews of the latest ones and I was pissed at peoples positive reactions to it. Like are we that dim witted that we need to select enemies and let an automatic function play out and take them out with a click of a button. Or having the ability to see through walls.
Just like other dying genres I’ve just learnt to watch the downfall play out in front of me. Games become less challenging all the while delivering the same dopamine. Miss the days where I’d be stuck on something pulling my hair out, going to bed waking up and completing the challenge first try.
Dark souls, Elden ring just don’t do it for me in terms of lore.
What we get now are 18+ mature games designed for 8 year olds and their attention spans.
Even city building games and strategy games. There’s a reason people still talk about Banished. But what do we get. Cities skylines 2 where it’s impossible to actually fail. What’s the point. It’s like developers ignore the games that stick in peoples minds and become classics. Substituting them for arcade style yearly releases dribble that cater to younger generations that prefer not to be challenged. I hate the way the industry is going. Anyone that has been around and played video games for 30 years should be able to notice that what we get now is shameful at best.
I’ll stick to indie games and early access and receive community driven updates for 10 years. Despite people wishing for full release and then quick community falloff.
@@MrSladej What do you think the reason is that every form of entertainment has become so watered down and dumbed down the last few decades? Even for kids it's lacking in engaging, meaningful and memorable interaction.
Why are certain views and narratives also forced onto every type of media we get exposed to. The whole thing with sweet baby inc. Is a clear example. That and corporate greed is what's ruining the experiences and freedom.
Smaller studio's productions and indie games creations are quite often a breath of fresh air amongst the smog.
Chaos Theory is the goat
Chaos Theory was so good! If they updated the ui to function properly on PC i'd be playing it right now
Not sure what problem with the UI you're talking about; I played ChaosTheory like a month ago or so and it ran perfectly with no problem in the UI or the gameplay itself.@@MYkeyMadeIt
There hasn't been a spy game that came anything close to No One Lives Forever. The humor, the gadgets, and the setting all make it a truly unique experience. Would love a new game in the same vein.
I second this. It was a really good stylised Bond experience with the same humour in it. I've been wondering about that as well.
I would cry tears of joy if they made a new NOLF game
Shame agent never came out I hope rockstar still does it some day
The old EA 007 games were good too, tbh. You should definitely try them out if you loved NOLF
@vgjunkie8386 I played a few 007 games on ps2 probably those
- Onimusha
- Half-life
- Time Splitters
- Metroid Prime
- Dino Crisis
- King's Quest
- Warcraft
- Command and Conquer
- Midnight Club
- F-Zero
- Turok
- Medal of Honor
There are countless other video game series that deserve to be continued.
It's seriously criminal how destruction like in Red Faction Guerilla hasn't been implemented in any modern game. A DAMN shame.
When I think about stealth games the first one that comes to my mind is Tenchu: Stealth Assassins.
Man that game was fun. Poison rice... lol nuff said ;)
I wish they would bring back SOCOM game. SOCOM 1&2 were great and fun, campaign and online. Being able to control your squad. It was just fun.
I was just thinking I feel like I am the only person that loves SOCOM!!!! lol. I loved them all and I would be super happy if they did a remake of them because I doubt they would continue to the series lol.
@@danielwolfe7633 definitely not man my friends and I talk about it all the time..just imagine a next gen Socom on unreal, the multiplayer would be insane!
Bully/Canis Canem edit. The greatest game that we’ll never get again
I still remember the Thousand Yard Stare Sam gave when he realized his franchise was the only remaining stealth game after the Konami/Kojima debacle.
I was happily surprised to see Soul Reaver on this list, thanks. Was a truly epic, top quality game. Probably the best gaming experience of my life. I hope we get to see a remaster or properly done new title to the LoK franchise. The bar is set pretty damn high when compared to the original.
I would love to see games like Red Alert and Heroes of Might n Magic make a big resurgence. The games that claim to replicate these classics are abysmal failures.
Have you seen gameplay for Tempest Rising?
Heroes of might and magic 4 was brilliant, but it really turned bad after that.
@@chalky1250 I agree but I'd say after Heroes V. It had 2 decent expansions, I liked the graphics better and I enjoyed the campaign more. Heroes 6 n 7 sucked because they tried too hard to be Heroes 3 n 4.
@@americanbranflakes Tempest Rising is looking pretty good, but I doubt it will be anywhere close to a C&C Red Alert...
And the C&C generals 2 EA promised and shown using Frostbite was just at a whole new damn level of awesomeness until they shoved it somewhere and went for some mobile game 🤬
Same with Need For Speed some ppl always wait that the next might be like a NFS Underground 3 but it's always the same modern NFS with huge visuals but bad unresponsive strange gameplay that keeps turning even after stop turning for a while and it's never like the feeling of the amazing good old NFS Underground 1 and 2...
Yessss new command and conquer would be sick
"Black" was also supposed to come back but there's no news of it. I remember i finished that game many times as it paralleled "Medal of Honor" games but in a modern context.
A game I miss but I'm not sure if they stopped making it is the unreal tournament series. I freaking love that series
Thank you for mentioning Prototype. My childhood right there.
I sooo wish the Starcraft franchise received the same amount of love as Warcraft did. Very unfortunate it didn't.
YES! Starcraft! I really wish we’d have gotten that Starcraft Ghost shooter.
Fun fact
Prototype was kind of its name while in development because it was a sequel to the ultimate Spider-Man game but you played as venom. It turned into prototype.
StarCraft is my favorite game of all time. But we won't see another one. There's no money in it, there's no real way to implement microtransactions in a sizable way. Maybe banners and profile pictures like they tried with 2 but anything that is gameplay related, like skins for your units or buildings just can't be used due to the nature of it being an RTS. Truly sad.
Wasn’t prototype just a reskinned spiderman game lol
same. I remember spending my high school years of playing Prototype, InFamous, and Assassin's Creed fondly.
Brothers in Arms is a series I miss. Great story, tactical gameplay and FPS action. Even a remake of the original 3 would be fantastic.
Wasn't it 3rd person?
@@PK.NOiR.7Some aspects were, for example when controlling the tank in the 3rd game. But for the most part, the action was first person.
Brothers In Arms was a tactical shooter that alternated between FPS AND 3PS depending if you were behind cover or not. Hell's Highway, the last game in the series, was an absolute blast to play.
Splinter Cell was a huge thing back in the days. It's a tragedy why ubisoft didn't have any interest into the development now
Honorable mention should be midnight club, you could make an argument that all 4 were classics. The customization was amazing and was incredibly fun.
Maybe this one is meant to be covered by the Prototype entry on the list,
because of the similarities between the two franchises,
but I'd add the Infamous games non the less.
Thanks for your videos!
I just want them to remake SSX Tricky. One of the greatest games I have ever played.
I wasn't a huge fan of the changes that came in SSX3. I really enjoyed the racing, but they made subtle changes to the controls that made it worse. Being forced to do other activities in order to unlock more races/courses/parts of the mountain really pissed me off, so much so that I never even bothered to unlock everything.
I loved Tricky because the extra activities, like the rail grinding point scoring levels were an aside. You weren't forced into them other than to gain skill points for your character. Content was not locked behind it.
Bring back SSX Tricky
I wouldn't mind a remake or remaster of the original SSX either. But SSX Tricky was a masterpiece... it needs to make a comeback like yesterday. But it's EA, and giving fans what they actually want just isn't their fuckin style. For example, why isn't there another Fight Night game, but they keep diarreahing out those un fun ass UFC games.
💯
I wish Bushido Blade can get some love and more attention, a Remake of that 1st game with online PvP would be soo freaking cool! The music and gameplay style was quite innovative!!
What's REALLY weird: I just made a comment on another GameRanx video (Real Mechanics That Aren't Useless) where I referenced light in Thief, hit the Comment button, clicked this video, and here 30 seconds later you're mentioning Thief, LOL!
I recently replayed Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory on the Series X. These games are absolutely incredible STILL TO THIS DAY!!
100%. And the graphics on Chaos Theory STILL look good. It blows my mind how we had graphics like that way back on the original Xbox!
BURNOUT REVENGE, hands down had THE best music tracks in a racing game at that time.
Billy Talent's "Red Flag" and Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance" still plays in my head to this day...
I still have my physical copy of this bad boy. Burnot: Revenge was my fave out of the series.
So addictive...
Played so much burnout revenge on the 360! Soooo good
Man... Burnout, I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent playing those games. Specially Paradise's multiplayer mode, the grind to all 500 challenges was an arduous one but enjoyable enough that I did it twice
I'm really glad y'all mentioned Onimusha. I personally love that franchise. Most people love DMC whereas Onimusha was my DMC and I truly am upset they aren't doing anything with it. I wouldn't even mind if they released a remaster bundle that included the other 3 main title Onimusha games
I'm still holding onto hope for Prototype 3 and Bulletstorm 2
Good picks. I would throw in infamous as well
@@hypnoticflower3152 really man, I hope Sucker Punch makes Infamous 4 after they are done with Ghost of Tshushima 2
I just got both Prototype games again and running through them after 10yrs is so much fun, best £5 I've spent in a long time!
Bulletstorm todays consoles ❤️
Actually, Syphon Filter did the sneak walk before Metal Gear and Splinter Cell
The two that I miss are the Tenchu series, and the the Kagero Deception series.
I'm still disappointed that Sleeping Dogs ended with just one game, and there have been no other high quality open world games set in asia after that, it's a huge void.
I enjoy Sleeping Dogs more than GTA 5
@@rennmaxbetasame here sleeping dogs is one of the best games of all time
