Video games go through the same processes as their popularity grows and wanes. Unlike people, however, they also have a chance for revival. As an acknowledgment of all the franchises that either came or went this decade, the following list will detail five franchises that left the industry and five that came back in full force. The latter entries’ revivals give hope to the former series that they too can one day come back from the d
Said to have a “small chance” at appearing during Microsoft’s E3 press conference, a Perfect Dark reboot would certainly be welcomed by fans of a franchise long-thought dead. Yet, if this does prove to be the case, it’s rumored to be in third-person and not developed by Rare Studios, marking significant changes from the original, so it remains to be seen how the reception of a reboot would stand up in compari
Microsoft’s premiere RPG franchise is Fable , with the first three Fable games all launching to various degrees of success. But despite their popularity, Microsoft has squandered the IP in recent years, releasing misguided spin-offs instead of proper sequels. However, rumors indicate that the Fable franchise will soon be coming back in a big way on Xbox Series X. According to various reports, Fable 4 is in active development at Playground Games , with the game set to be a major return to form for the series. There’s a chance that Fable 4 could even be revealed as early as next month’s Xbox 20/20 July presentation, so fans of the franchise should be sure to tune in just in c
Not to rack on video game critics , but often they’re wrong, and the community-at-large spares no expense in making sure they know it. So let’s take a dive into the world of reviews and shed some light on when the critics undervalued a game and the other times when it was overrated complete
Following the successful remake of Resident Evil 2 , details leaked online that Capcom was intending to annualize the franchise. This led to the belief that the remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis’s release date would be in January 2020 following an E3 2019 reveal, and considering that Capcom is rumored to be making a major announcement at the show, little could top another Resident Ev
These games are so terrible – they’re the video game equivalent of fake news. Sure they have the glam, the money and certainly the marketing to make this franchise seem good, but in reality, it’s the poor man’s Witcher. Most of the game in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is spent boring yourself to death, whether that be trailing someone for the hundredth time or taking on a series of poorly developed enemies that often bug
It’s true that Rare largely struggled to produce compelling experiences since Microsoft’s acquisition in 2002, but one exception is Viva Pinata . A bizarre take on the life-simulation genre, Viva Pinata sees players raising and breeding living pinatas while completing a variety of objectives. Noted for its eye-catching art style and quirky humor, Viva Pinata spawned sequels and even its own television series. A new Viva Pinata could fill a niche on the Xbox Series X and appeal to the more casual gamers out th
Due to the highly-publicized fallout between Hideo Kojima and Konami, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out in a brutally unfinished state. One can see where work stopped on the title’s story and it was rushed out to mar
Fable 3 is one of those games that makes you think “why, why isn’t this game good?” Any Xbox owner back in the early-to-mid 2000s would’ve told recommended you read that the Fable franchise could contend with the greats. And all it needed was a crowing third game to solidify this franchise as one of the best – but, that never c
Resident Evil 8 is said to be in development, so instead of another remake, it’s not out of the question that Capcom’s announcement could be the sequel instead of another remake. Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 8 , and Dino Crisis all being at E3 2019 would be a jaw-dropping move, but it seems much likelier that only one of these will come out on
If a supposedly leaked rundown of Sony’s E3 2018 press conference is accurate, we already know all the games the company plans on showcasing at the event. This includes games like Bloodborne 2 and SOCOM: Coalition , but the rumored surprise games at Sony’s show seem to mainly consist of third-party tit
There are all kinds of local co-op games on the Xbox Game Pass service, though some are certainly better than others. For those wondering which local co-op games on Xbox Game Pass are most worth their time, here are the 10 best local co-op games on Xbox Game P
The Overcooked games have earned a well-deserved reputation for being some of the best local co-op games around. Overcooked 2 is the peak of the series so far, carrying over the fun local co-op cooking gameplay from the original and adding more levels, moves, and more. The game works as both a relaxing experience and an intense one, depending on how serious players want to get about beating high scores and getting all of the stars. Those that enjoy playing Overcooked 2 on Xbox Game Pass may want to consider picking up the game’s season pass, as all of the Overcooked 2 DLC expansions have proven to be a great deal of fun so
