Dead video game series/franchises you refuse to let go -

[Frenda]

i have googled Monster Rancher almost every two months for the last several years and i'm not entirely sure what i go in hoping to see change every time but i know whatever it is it has yet to happen.

 

[Ruin]

I really liked the Shadow Hearts series. Pity it could never find a mainstream audience.

 

[Count groudon]

Banjo Kazooie. I don't give a shit what they say, I'm never gonna give up hope

 

[Doc Cassidy]

One day they'll be another Harvest Moon on consoles, I just know it

 

[DuskEngine]

I thought Homeworld was dead 5ever, but then we got the Remastered Edition and Deserts of Kharak! Holding out hope for Homeworld 3.

 

[Funnybone]

The World Ends With You

... it's never gonna get a sequel. Even with the hint at the end of the Android/iOS versions and the Kingdom Hearts cameo.

I keep hoping though.

 

[Megahertz]

I was gonna say Psychonauts, but....

 

[Tismo]

Maybe one day Patapon 4 will come out. If only the Vita wasn't so fucking dead. And I had one.

 

[autisticdragonkin]

I don't know whether final fantasy counts as dead but I can't let go of it

 

[John Titor]

Wild Arms. Which is strange because the developer is still around and even helped with Valkyria Chronicles a while back.

 

[WhoWhatWhere]

Silent Hill for sure. I would sing from the mountain tops out of pure joy if ever the series produced a game that could match the perfection that is Silent Hill 2.

I was gonna say Psychonauts, but....

Have you ever played Grim Fandango? Tim Schafer did that one too. So good.

Really just Lucas Arts games in general are fantastic. May they RIP. Disney ended an era buying them out.

 

[The Lone Wanderer]

Silent Hill will be reborn one day... The cycle never ends.

 

[Dork Of Ages]

Bully. I want to wedgie nerds in next-gen high definition graphics, damn it!

 

[Clown Doll]

STALKER(I'm sure they'll make a sequel one day, right?)
Myth(Myth : The Fallen Lords, Myth II : Soulblighter and Myth III : The Wolf Age)
Half-Life(Yeah, I know...).

The World Ends With You

Oh God, that hint... apparently something did come out of that, but it was another mobile title that nobody gave a shit about.

As for other series... pre-reboot Castlevania. I tried to give Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate a chance, but the former felt like I was playing Dark Souls without the weapon feedback and I couldn't even finish the 3DS demo of MoF.

I really enjoyed the DS Castlevania games (especially Order of Ecclesia). I'd love to see them make more games in that vein sometime.

The Darkness - the second ironed out a few kinks with the controller, but was far too short and left on such an intentional cliffhanger, setting up a third but was dropped due to sales.

 

[LazarusOwenhart]

It sucks that they decided not to make the entire Space Marine trilogy. The first one basically took Gears Of Wars shooting/melee/cover system and lit that shit up. It was a mind blowing, visceral and stupidly OTT shooter, every mechanic worked perfectly (jump packs and grav-hammers ftw) and it had a great protagonist. Then THQ took a nosedive and that was that.

 

[R.A.E.L.]

I still have a fondness for the original Tomb Raider games. Not that I hate the reboot, but seeing old Lara again would be nice. If only Underworld hadn't been such a let-down.

 

[Coldgrip]

Onimusha. Dawn of Dreams kind of (in some cases badly) mangled the story but I'd like to see what Jubei did while searching for Soki and if she ever found him.

And in the off-chance they do, please please Capcom get rid of Minokichi.

Wild Arms. Which is strange because the developer is still around and even helped with Valkyria Chronicles a while back.

You ever play the remake of the first one?
