Which Game Series Would You Reboot?

[wraggster]

Franchise reboots are all the rage these days in Hollywood, and the trend is starting to creep into the games industry as well. The Guardian's games blog is running a story discussing a few examples and pondering likely candidates for future reboots. Quoting:
"If anything, the concept of the reboot makes more sense in the videogame sector than it does in movies. For a start, games are complex entities, with each new iteration in a familiar series adding many, many hours of fresh narrative content. Entering, say, the Zelda, Resident Evil, Half-Life, Dragon Quest or Metal Gear worlds at this stage must be massively intimidating — even if the developers go to great lengths to make each entry work as a singular, self-contained entity within the canon. Also, videogames are going through a paradigm shift in terms of popular appeal at the moment. The faithful audience of young males has been joined by new demographics brought in by the Wii, PC casual games, and now the iPhone. Many of these people may be vaguely aware of long-running game brands, but won't have a clue about the key characters, sign post events and basic gameplay mechanisms."

So, which series (or individual title) would you like to see rebooted?

Sonic

Make it 2D, have him run fast, and fight robotnik at the end of each world.

Take Streets of Rage 1,2 and 3.
Make em hi-def 2D.
Combine all 3 into 1 game package.
Allow the characters to "earn" special moves via an XP system.
Use fluid animations (read, more frames of animation)
Include ALL the playable characters from ALL the games.
Allow moves like parries, tech recoveries, blocking, special moves, super moves, launchers, combo counts, team up attacks, counters and all the things you usually find in a 1 on 1 fighter.
Add a simple button system akin to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin monks married with a bit of God of War.

That should do it.

Hey, take a look at the vast amount of Beats of Rage games out there and tell me that there's no market for it?!

Release it on PSN.
Thanks, that is all.
