Anyone else have a strange fascination with attempts to "modernize" classic franchises, that never really took off?

This frog looks so boring and the name is very generic. Are any of his games worth playing.
Probably not particularly. I don't think the original Frogger is even that good of an arcade game.
What about Croc he is kind of bad too.
I really enjoyed this game but it was way too short. This game really brings me back. Some might even say it had soul.
>Some might even say it had soul.
lol no, literally the only soulless game out of the 6th gen Frogger bunch. It was considered shit then, and shit now. Don't let nostalgia blind you
>the ones where all you do is hop in front of cars had more soul than a fantasy adventure game
interesting take
Swampy's Revenge and Helmet Chaos, I remember liking Adventures: The Rescue too
The Great Quest is notoriously awful. Not even like a funny haha Ganker hates it but it’s well liked really sort of thing. It’s genuinely diabolically terrible
For me it's orange vest Frogger. I miss this homie.
This game gets incredibly brutal if not downright sadistic later on. The final level has this part with an enemy swinging a huge spike ball, and after doing a vertical jump you only have barely enough time to walk a couple more tiles and jump again, plus there are crumbling platforms which you need to fricking spin around on. Don't even get me started on doing this level as Berry where you only have the standard four health pieces.
There were fricking many these during the PS2 gen and most were the pits, like you don't even fight a giant head of Mr Big in the NARC reboot
One of the worst games of that generation and the worst published by a big publisher.
I do. In the late to mid 90s there were a shit load of remakes/reboots/reimaginings of mostly arcade games and while some were pretty crap there was some charm to them. Enter 6th gen and companies tried to get more ambitious and most of them didn't fare very well. one of the first games that come to mind sadly. Some games just couldn't exist in that time and modernizing the game made it stray too far from what made it cool to begin with
Midway was king in this sense...
>Narc
>Spy Hunter
>Area 51
>The endless Gauntlet sequels...
Area 51 was an okayish FPS, even got a sequel. My friend had Spy Hunter but we never played it, I guess he thought it was boring.
>always loved Frogger when i was younger.
>Years go by
>See a commercial for this
>"what the, is that Frogger?"
>never hear about the Frogger franchise ever again in any gaming landscape
Guess it bombed huh? I didn't have a PS2 back then so I couldn't play it. I just found it so weird in my life that the commercial for this game was my absolute last exposure to anything Frogger ever again.
Is this game any good? I learned it's the sequel to Swampy's Revenge without the Frogger branding.
was alright
The very idea of pong having a sequel makes me laugh for some reason. Also I like how they try to make it sound cooler with "the next level" thing.
this game is awesome and frick anyone who disagrees
The Space Invaders reboot Space Raiders.
Nobody hates on PW2.
Fricking black magic.
I remembered this game only yesterday, watched some youtube clips and now there's a thread on Ganker. And it's not even a very popular series.
The game looks super weird though, this is what probably Superfrog were if went 3D.
>attempts to "modernize" classic franchises
Examples?
I can only remember Pac-Man World, which is frustratingly hard at certain points but still cool. Also it does have the best cgi intro in history of videogames, that shit is should be in museum (Namco museum)
Their most recent attempt to reboot Pacman and made it zoomer hip is only 20% good
>Examples?
rygar PS2 is fricking awesome. also god of war ripped them off hard (and did it worse)
I enjoy them. Something innocent about them
In the early 90s arcade legend Eugene Jarvis re-envisioned his classic titles Robotron and Defender into the edgier Smash TV and Strike Force respectively, while Smash TV was a hit it never got a true sequel and no one talks about Strike Force. In 1997 Robotron would get a reboot on the PSX/N64 with Robotron X/64 and Defender would get the full 3d reboot treatment in the early 00s neither of which were very well received.
Remember that awkward era where they were trying to bring a bunch of old arcade games into 3D console games?
I kind of liked this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9hPfTejYco
BY MY BALLS GIRL
Lots of people on this board seem to praise Sonic games that were released past Genesis religiously.
