What are some games where you revisit places from previous games in the series?

>>340831691
Pokemon XD took place 3 years after Colosseum and would let you explore the old overworld with some new places added to the mix,
>>340831691
Every sonic game that starts with Green Hill Zone
Dark Souls aka best game ever (it's really hard too, possibly the HARDEST game i've ever played)
>>340831994
>XD
>>340831691
Throwback Galaxy in SMG2
No game has had a revisit as awesome and impactful as Dragon Quest III
Blew my mind
fallout 2 does it pretty well.
>>340831749
I played that gba banjo game back in the day. It was pretty good from what I remember.
Persona 4 I vaguely recall did
>>340832031
Why must you hurt?
It felt nice making a return to the Disney worlds that you explored in the first one.
All the direct sequel Tales games.
Shadow Moses in MGS4
Kanto in Pokemon
Anal Rodeo in Dark Souls 3
Solstheim in Skyrim (technically every Elder Scrolls game after Daggerfall, though that really shouldn't count)
In the worst way possible
Ghost Babel is too good for this world.

Baten Kaitos shared places with origins. The two games are severely underrated.
>>340831691
Diablo series has you revisit Tristram again and again.
>>340831691
Golden Sun 1 and 2
Phantasy star 4 sorta did this. One of the dungeons is the ruins of one the first games dungeons.
Lufia sorta counts too if only because you go to Doom Castle in almost every game.
Megaman Zero 3 of course did this with it's final battle taking place where Zero 1 starts.
Link Between Worlds had the same Hyrule from A Link to the Past
Got damn OP you just found the spot.
Love this shit in games.
Pic a meme. Also related obviously.

Easily one of the most atmospheric spooky moments in videogames. Made even better by the fact that pretty much nothing happens for most of it.
The Mario Kart series has made it a tradition to feature old tracks in the game ever since the DS one made it standard, but people seem to forget that Super Circuit included all of the tracks from the SNES title. It basically felt like a remake of the original game once you've had them all unlocked.
I fucking love the metal gear series. first time going back to shadow moses in mgs4 had me so giddy and almost in tears through the whole thing AND IT ENDS WITH YOU PILOTING REX IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD GOOOODDD DAÀAAAAMMN
Not so much revisited location. But when you go into hyrule castle in TP after the barrier goes down it does this haunting rendition of the LTTP hyrule castle theme. It gave me chills
Ah, the glory of spending time in the very same courtroom for each case in the Ace Attorney games.
>>340835845
>castle theme slowly transitions to ganon's tower theme the higher you climb
That shit was good.
The bonus level warp on Crash 2.
Probably the most satisfying one I've seen as well.
Some of the levels backgrounds had callbacks as well.
Timesplitters had a Siberia Mp map which was an unseen part of a SP map from TS2
>>340836256
I WAS JUST WATCHING A VIDEO LISTENING AND REALIZED THAT TOO. MAH NIGGA I HOPE YOUR E3 DREAMS COME TRUE YOU HAVE MY RESPECT
The Battle Frontier in the generation 4 Pokemon games had two different locations depending on if you were playing Platinum or HGSS, but not a single thing was changed about it.
I remember revisiting the first level of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter in Turok 3.
>>340835845
Shame Zelda can't really do that because of the nature of the games taking place a quadrillion years from eachother.
Closest is probably the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess. I just pretend the ToT always had a staircase leading in.
>>340831691
Going back to Southern Silent Hill\Brookhaven from the second game in Silent Hill 3. The audio ambiance is great, for the brief time you're in town
Best thread idea on this board in months. OP you are not a faggot
>>340831691
Megaman ZX Advent visits some areas from ZX. For example, the mission with the queen bee boss takes place in what was ZX's final stage
>>340831691
Does Solstheim in Dragonborn count? Basically the whole expansion is banking on Bloodmoon nostalgia.
>>340836753
Would be neat if you can time travel in a Zelda game as a way of exploring old game locations before they're deteriorated or changed.
>>340832028
Incredibly obvious bait, but yes in DS3 you revisit some DS1 areas.
>>340836753
Wasn't the Temple of Time in TP a ruined Ocarna Castle Town?
>visit your favourite area in the sequel
>it's completely destroyed
I'll miss you Oakvale.
>>340837472
I wasn't prepared for those feels, god damn.
>>340836753
I think the problem lies in that every game does have places you revisit, but theyre always different
Lost woods, hyrule castle, lake hylia, ETC. But theyre always different so the nostalga is lost in the changes. They more than make it up in music and audio cues
Nothing will top going back to Shadow Moses in MGS4.
That was nostalgia incarnate.
Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy did a simply amazing job at this.
RIP Factory level killed by Megadimension Neptunia VII.
>grove street, home
>GTAV comes out
>go back to grove street

>"not cool rockstar"

Poored one out that night for my homies
shadow moses on metal gear solid 4
>not a single mention of Pokémon Gold/Silver
>arguably the game that did this trope the best
>>340832585
It was even kinda cool when simba recognized sora in the lion king world cause he was a summon in KH1
>>340838085
Instead of bitching, happily share your memory of experiencing the thing that bitch slapped the nostalga node in your brain.
Also yeah HG/SS was fucking amazing
>>340838162
I never bothered with summons on my first playthrough of the games so I was confused on that part.
I love this shit. Gothic 2 let's you visit the whole area of Gothic 1.my young mind was blown away by this fact. It was even better because dragons have come and changed some landscapes fundamentally and it was very exciting to see the changes and compare to Gothic 1
>>340838085
Stepping into Kanto again when I played Silver as a kid was the dopest shit ever.
>>340831691
Pikmin 2
>>340838354
Did this have any specific locations from 2, or are you just counting "New Mombasa?"
Probably one of the more obscure titles in this thread, but Mario Tennis Power Tour had you go to the same tennis academy that was featured in the GBC title. The previous protagonist, Alex, even made a return as a coach.
>>340838465
>You've taken your first step into the KANTO region!
Revisiting Mario's house in the start of the Paper Mario games was always a nice touch. TTYD still remains one of my all time favorite games to date.
>>340838720
yes
>>340839318
Such as?
The golf courses in this game were remade in the Wii Sports title.
>>340840073
Actually that was just "golf"
Paying out to revisit old maps on muliplayer games bundles as DLC
Ah yes it warms my heart.
>OP makes a good thread idea and even provides examples in OC pics
>most of the posts on here are fantastic
>nostalgia everywhere
Im beginning to believe after all these years about night /v/ and day /v/
>>340837274
Oracle of Ages. However the past is more fucked up than the present.
>>340832147
pretty satisfying beating that place again and getting the original power armor. too bad it becomes obsolete so quick. i guess its good to give to a follower if you have any left alive anyway
>>340840901
You ever compare day and night Halo /v/ threads? One is full of shitposting about it ruining gaming, and the other is argumentation of lore like a 40k thread while others post concept art.
>>340838354
I dont know a single person who enjoyed that game outside of "its got halo 3 multiplayer and its cheaper than halo 3"
>>340833098
Too bad the map was nothing to how it was on the actual MSX2 game.
Also somewhat related.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVogIaydLfY
>>340840901
Its not so much day and night and more europe/america threads.
>>340831691
nice
>>340841012
Im not a fan of halo but not to the point of FUCK HALO LAWL THERES NO PLOT WHAT NOVELS
I get why people love it though and i totally respect that. But im sure halo is the perfect benchmark for weeding out faggotry
>>340841224
Halo threads i mean
>>340841224
Sort of. See the attached diagram.
wonder no one has mentioned it yet
The Lufia games up to 3 (as in the only ones deserving of the title) all have you visit the Fortress of Doom and it always has the same layout including the locations and contents of treasure chests.
>>340837230
The original ZX also has a highway area where part of it is identical to the opening stage of X
>>340831691
I really liked going back to the Arid Badlands and Firestone in Borderlands 2.
Resident Evil games also did this fairly well, going back to the police station in RE3 or back to beginning parts of the RE2 Lab in RE0.
Its become sort of standard with ID games, but I love all the wolfenstein secret area's in games.
>>340833098thanks doc
Gothic 2 back into the valley of the mines.
Can't find good images and too lazy to open game and make my own.
finalfantasy 7 and crisis core
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UhRZ1gFZ4I
Has this not been posted yet? This was fucking beautiful to witness.
>>340836753
LBW may as well be a remake of LttP with how similar it is.
>>340841106
it's one of my favorite halo games, purely because it oozes atmosphere
>>340838736
Those handheld Mario Tennis games had the deepest fucking lore that I never expected to actually exist in a fucking tennis game
Shit owned
>>340842659
Unfortunately i dont know you
Would we have been... friends?
I feel cold, anon...
>>340842790
>There will never be another Mario Tennis like it.
Shame. I only beat it not to long ago and I liked it.
>>340842386
They're pretty different overall due to the painting mechanic, but the game doesn't hide the fact it started as a remake very well.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7751mmJ.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
Belfry Luna in Dark Souls 2
Anor Londo in Dark Souls 2 and 3
>>340834851
>tfw when you discover that you'll have to enter the Ishimura again.What an awesome segment
Not sure if it counts considering how different it was altogether, butDaxter, this horrible world..is our home
>>340837812
Probably the best revisit in any game.
>>340843376
I hate it. It's emblematic of MGS4's problems.
>>340843321
That whole game was fantastic. Not just that but a great PC port. Great NG+ stuff. Great /v/ comics too.
>>340843039
>vaguely reminiscent of a Runefactory game
>perish the thought
>>340843447
I hated 4 but thought that level was quite good for the sake of nostalgia at least. The best is yet to come kicking in got me. What was wrong with it?
gothic 2 is the shit
>>340843693
The fact it was only good for the of nostalgia. I could forgive it if the enemies were more demanding, but it's largely empty so as to avoid intruding on the player's presumed nostalgia trip. The game has plenty of other problems, but Act 4 is a microcosm of the game's obsession with superficial pandering.
>>340843039
That's pretty, what is it ?
>>340843992
Nevermind, google told me.
>>340835604
>shadow moses
>almost crying
I was stiff and just couldn't stop those feelings inside me.
>Oh boy oh boy, I'm gonna visit Shadow Moses with high graphics.
>The best is yet to come starts playing
>You feel something heavy in your throat
>Wow, he must be crazy to fly HinD in this weather...
>Tear ducts starts to tingle up a lone tear
>Just like old times
>pick related.
>>340843039
I never realised until now that was the bell from Chrono Trigger.
>>340841106
Mate, it's my second favorite, right next to Halo 2. It challenges the shit out of you, since charging in isn't probable anymore. Gotta be strategic and use overcharged Plasma Pistols and grenades to get through on Legendary.
Realizing that I have an entire Kanto in front of me after what I thought was an end of Gold/Silver is one of my strongest vidya memories.
I don't think anything will ever top it, but then again, I did only play MGS1 and I got a PS3 yesterday. So we'll see.
>>340843039
Also this.
>>340844049
>Walk up to the helipad
>item in the center spinning
>Its still a chaff grenade
NIGGA I WAS ALMOST IN TEARS OVER THE PLACEMENT OF AN ITEM HELP ME FROM THIS AUTISM
>>340844153
The game outright tells you tho
>>340840901
This thread has been made several times already, and it's been good during the "day" too.
Try being a bit less gullible.
>>340844335
What do you mean ? That's not a revisit from Trigger
Well it is not series but you can visit your old forts in Dorf Fort.
>>340844481
>gullible
>its 5 am where i am
>many would call tis morning or daytime
No my friend, im only scratching the surface
>>340832645
Xillia 2 is fucking awful as a sequel and "returning" to all those places doesn't feel any different from reaching them for the first time in Xillia 1.
I loved Xillia 2 but being a sequel didn't do anything good for it.
>>340844426
I get a feels-hard-on watching REX start and you see the rust and bent parts create sparks on the leg as it stands up.

>>340832126
Is that Goku?
>>340837642
Anon, that's because the assets are recycled for literally every dungeon.
>>340844884
DQ games are all the history of the dragon ball world before goku lands on earth
>>340844524
It is. It's the tomb of the frog friend if I remind correctly.
>>340845065
I've never played or heard of dragon quest outside of the few times I've seen it mentioned on /v/. Is it a niche thing here in the US? And what could you compare it too game play wise?
>>340844884
No that's Gohan.
How in the absolute fucking fuck have none of you retard fucks mentioned Mega Man 3 yet?
God fucking damnit, retarded children, the lot of you.
>>340845589
You visit Megaman 2 locations in Megaman 3?
>>340845589
You fight previous bosses. You never visit any locations from the first game.
>>340845589
Revisiting bosses is not the same as revisiting areas.
>>340845952
You revisit the same areas you've been to, but to be fair, The way the levels are altered is really, really cool. They're similar enough to resemble the old levels but different enough to feel like new levels.
>>340845949
Do any later MM games do level lifts? I can only think of the robot museum in Megaman and Bass.
>>340846182
Whoops meant to quote >>340846057
>>340845589
I read this. Sat in thought for about 30 seconds... and realized i never even played 3...
Damn i gotta get on that shit
>>340846338
Have you played the others? Did you just kind of weirdly skip 3?
>>340835156
The fact that it includes all the Snes tracks was really cool. And the fact that you unlock them by getting coins adds some challenge to the game (although it may gets annoying).
Sad that it's the most underrated Mario Kart game.
>>340843164
>Anor Londo in Dark Souls 2
?
>>340843990
I think you are looking at it wrong. The level fits the themes of the game well. Shadow Moses, just like Snake, had become aging and forgotten as the world rapidly changed around them. Shadow Moses is what defines Snake as a character, and seeing how utterly unimportant it is reflects how unimportant Snake is to the world as well as the finality of his life. The world he belonged to doesn't exist anymore, and now he is just a discarded tool fighting one final senseless battle.
>>340846434
Yeah i just kinda never played it. Well i probably played it but probably not far and i have absolutely no memory of it. Compared to other entries where i remember at least some of the robot masters or something.
Returning to Liberty City in gta:sa was pretty cool.
