Before I jump straight into this list I want to let you all know that this was a difficult one for me. With there being so many great older games from previous generations of consoles. Yet I have managed to pick my Top 5 favourites that I would like to see rebooted for current generation consoles.
So without any further ado let me get into my 5 Most Wanted Reboots
(List in descending order)
Oh who doesn’t love themselves a bit of Scarface? Even though this game is set after events of the film itself, with having Tony Montana survive and seek revenge on those who attacked him and not actually being voiced by Al Pacino himself. It did amazingly well.
Trying to take back the Miami drug trade by destroying rival gangs was just brilliant, a huge selection of weaponry which was accessible and not to mention the cars you could buy and steal.
I loved the progression system, with you unlocking more and more from a driver to even an assassin.
If they decided to reboot this game, with an all new engine, updated graphics and more weapons then I would gladly throw my money at them.
I don’t know what it is, but I just love western style games. Ever since I played Gun I couldn’t get enough of it. That and because I enjoy a bit of history and for those that have never actually played Gun, you do journey to El Dorado.
Being able to hunt and kill animals, causing mayhem everywhere and not to mention, fighting off the law and gunslingers if any should try it. To me this was somewhat an inspiration for Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption.
There wasn’t much of a weapon system but that can be sorted rather simply if a reboot would every actually happen amongst other things also.
Yes as you would imagine this game has made my list. Rockstars North Man Hunt now banned around most of the world is justifiable. This was one of the most brutal, violent and graphical games of 2003. In my opinion there hasn’t been one since either.
There was nothing like discovering how many execution you could do with a single item that was at your disposal, yes it was very gory and even got blamed for somethings in the news over here in the UK (we won’t get into that though). Yet I can’t help but want to play this game again. However would they be allowed to publish such a game in this age?
I would imagine this is on every gamers list of great games from older generations. Time Splitters and Time Splitters 2 was just something else. They were fun, well designed and could be a challenge at times. Me and my brothers used to play through the co-op together on the hardest settings, we would even strategize in some way.
Developed by Free Radical Design, released in 2000 Time Splitters is a game which stood apart from the rest during its time. Gaining an 8 stars and above by most reviewers.
Nothing was better for me at the time. The story line which involved traveling back in time spanning 100 years, the co-op and multiplayer, not to mention the massively enjoyable challenge mode. I remember working so hard to unlock all of the characters possible so we had a huge selection to choose from when we played multiplayer.
One of my favourite things about the Time Splitters franchise is something simple. When you choose your character there would be an annimation and they would say something.
I remember when I first played Freedom Fighters and well, after that I couldn’t put it down. It was just the best game I ever had played at the time. The game dynamics, story line and even the split screen multiplayer was just something I had never seen before.
Released in 2003 by IO Interactive and Electronic Arts, from the makers of Hitman you just expected this game to be on a level of its own.
I would play the game from start to finish several times and I even played it over this Christmas with my brother for a bit. It’s just one of those games that once you pick up and starts playing you actually don’t want to put it down. I believe I owned this originally for the GameCube but once I switched to PlayStation 2 it was my first purchase because I knew how much fun I would have on it.
I think could be on of the most wanted reboots by a lot of games (well I am hoping so). This is why it has earned the top spot on my list. Nothing was better at it during its time.
