VGBM: Top 3 games to introduce to new generation via sequel or reboot (Shiro choice)

Today I’m gonna talk for my top 3 choices of game needing a sequel or reboot for the new generation of gaming, for this list I’m gonna look at games I have enjoyed for the past consoles and never got to enjoy recently or have not heard of a sequel or reboot for the last 5 years.

1 - Star Wars : Rogue Squadron

First on my list is the arcade style space combat game based on the star wars universe. Set in the timeline of the original trilogy, the game lets you take control of different fighter spaceships like the X-wing, Y-wing or A-wing .Developed by factor 5 and Lucasarts ,the game had great graphics for the time and the gameplay was fast paced. I really enjoyed the different type of missions that kept me coming back for more. It had 2 sequels but for me the first one was the best. The last sequel was released in 2003, so it’s been a while since I enjoyed such a great spaceship shooter. Altough Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is announced and will include spacebattle nothing beats the lighting fast and fun factor of the Rogue Squadron series.

2 - Dino Crisis

Back in 1999, Capcom released Dino Crisis a survival horror game produced by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami for the original Playstation, the Dreamcast and the PC. In the game, you played the role of Regina, member of a Special Operation Unit sent to investigate an island that’s been overrun by dinosaurs. Although the gameplay was exactly the same as of Resident Evil; I really enjoyed the tone and the premise of the game. The puzzle were more complex of that of Resident Evil , and in the healing department you also had to manage your bleeding because raptors would follow your blood trails. It had 2 sequels which didn’t had as good reviews as the original, last one was release on the original X-box. So I think and hope they will think to reboot such a great game which basically is Resident Evil meets Jurassic Park.

3 - Onimusha Series

Another title from Capcom , Onimusha is a third person action-adventure set in feudal Japan. All 4 games were exclusive for the Playstation 2, where you played the role of different characters slaying demons. There were also horror and puzzle elements in the game. I literally played all 4 and enjoyed every single one of them as much. The graphics were top notch, with an enthralling storyline and great voice acting. These games had also the advantage of having their characters modeled after well known actors and also bringing Yūsaku Matsuda who died in 1989 back to life for Onimusha 2.
