Is there a dead franchise you would like to see resurrected?

Here are a few I came up with:

Jak and Daxter -- My personal favourite Naughty dog IP, i really loved Jak 2 as a kid and I wish we could just get one final swan song for the series since lost frontier was really bad


Ape Escape -- One of the best platformers ever made, 2 and 3 are masterpieces and we desperately need a part 4

Ridge Racer -- Fun arcade racer that used to launch on every PlayStation, we really need more arcade racers and less of these boring open world ones like NFS

Ogre Battle -- I want to know so badly what the rest of the plot they had planned out would have looked like. It was supposed to be like... a 9 parter or something??

All of the above have provided me with some of the best gaming experiences possible, so what gives? There is no doubt in my mind that if any of these were given a second chance they would sell really well with the right marketing. Anyway, what's your take?

I got most of what I wanted and other than a few key remakes I mostly just want new IPs at this point.

Resistance! Resistance 3 campaign was one of the best fps shooter campaigns I've ever played. Resistance 2 mp was just pure mayhem and fun as well. I really like Resistance franchise.

Ps2 had such a wide variety of experimental games that were really unique, we just don'tsee that anymore. Most AAA games have become very similar to each other and I'm not into indie games since most are 2d side scrollers.

We just don't get games like Jak,Sly or Ape Escape anymore. Modern Ratchet is a shell of it's old self.

Fromsoftware is probably the only company that still makes games i care deeply about, you still have the sense of discovery and wonder like we had in ICO and SOTC.

Phil Spencer will provide it to me once he gets Activision.

Uhh.....

Free Space?

Who made that anyway? "Developer(s) Volition Publisher(s) Interplay Entertainment"
Well, guess that won't be happening any time soon.

Colony wars.

It probably won't be a big seller, but i'd buy a million companies to make up for it.
