You have got to be kidding. Making this fast paced shooter into a boring arena Painkiller style katana simulator was a dreadful move.

Face it, reboots are terrible. Stop resetting established franchises and making them into something else entirely.

I'd argue that the latest Tomb Raider reboot was both decent and successful.

But 64 was a reboot. It pretends that SNES never happened.

Metal Gear Solid rebooted the franchise with a pretty faithful reinterpretation of MG2.

Define "reboot".

It could be argued pretty well that Super Mario 64 was a reboot, in that the core mechanics were completely and totally changed from its predecessors, and it was extremely successful.

Actually Super Mario Bros. was itself a reboot of Mario Bros, and it was very successful too.

Same shit different question here

Why is original always better, or, why do people almost always say original is better?
>>
>>341976974
Because they're used to what they've seen and/or played.
People don't like things that are different. They don't like changes.

Reboots are usually cash grabs sporting a well known franchise name. I. E:The new devs don't know how to make a "RED" game so they make a bland FPS and call it "RED" to bait fans of the original.
Some reboots end up fine but they are hardly ever what the fans really wanted.

I never understood the praise for this game. There is so much free health that it's impossible to die. The enemies explode with health packs for you to grab. This is basically a disguised health regen.

SpyHunter on the PlayStation 2 is one that comes to mind.

You not liking what the reboot made out of it doesn't disqualify it. The game is acknowledged and successful. If it was just like the first one, it would be a remake and you would be complaining all the same.

Prince of Persia has had several instances of reboots which were good and successful. Double Dragon Neon was awesome. The Xcom reboot is good and successful.

Not a reboot. That's an alternate timeline sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Which was an alternate timeline sequel to Wolfenstein 3D.

This game was always internally known as Doom 4, not a reboot. It's a sequel to Doom 64 and recognizes the previous games as canon. You're the same Doomguy.

Hey retard. I'm saying it's a different canon in a clusterfuck of a storyline and not a reboot. IT'S A FUCKING SEQUEL

I always wondered, how come no one bitched about the fact that Ninja Gaiden was made into third person, instead of a platformer? Were there no hardcore fans around to complain?

Probably because it went from hardcore platformer to hardcore action game.

There are lots of enemies. They just don't really show up outside of specific areas, which makes the rest of the game's exploration not particularity scary for a Silent Hill game.

Still quite liked the pacing and atmosphere of it though. More a psychological thriller than a survival horror.

Elite Dangerous is the model all reboots of classic games should follow.

Make the gameplay familiar and pretty everything up
