I've been reminiscing for a while now about old game franchises that might have failed one another when they made an attempt to comeback also games that deserved sequels, or just could have been improved. The subject here is to discuss some new improvements or innovations from previous games that you'll think that can/could/could've made it better.
I'll go first in saying that after going back and playing some old N64 games, one of them resulting in a frustration of a file getting erased, but to get to the point I think that Perfect Dark is a good game, but I think it could have been done better especially it's sequel. I know the franchise won't return to Nintendo because of Microsoft, but I'll still want to see Dark return probably in a remake. I think in today's standards the game's story needs to be a lot deeper and more interesting, and of course it would need some online play, but with my lack of experience on playing online games and FPS's, I'm not exactly sure how it should be done.
Next I'll go to The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I know some of you will get me for putting this, but I don't care. Ocarina of Time isn't a bad game, but even when I had first played the game I thought that the story could have been a lot deeper and made the game that much better. It had great potential with Link's origins and Ganondorf who was a friend of Zelda's father. The story could've had some political tone with it, if it featured when Ganondorf was a friend of the king and when he had betrayed him and took over his kingdom. I woul'd've liked to know more about the night when Zelda escaped with Impa and possibly Ruto too. I thought the game was a little short, not much though and could have included just a bit more of sidequests. The battle with dark Link too I didn't realize was terrible before now, unless you keep on casting Din's Fire on him you can't beat him. That led to the result in two deaths for me and the erase of my game file which I have no idea why it happened. He blocks all of your attacks, on occasion he'll take one though. I didn't realize that the battle was poorly construced because every time before that I used the Biggoron Sword which he can't block. Zelda also has a problem too with making their bosses real easy or their dungeons predictable. They could fix that and make the bosses a little more challenging.
For sequels I say that Threads of Fate deserves one. Anyone who saw the secret ending to it can agree., but I'm unsure at the moment on exactly how they could make it better. i'll come back to that later. Sonic also needs to step up too and the only thing that i can say that they need to do to make it better is either get someone else to make it for them or for SEGA to actually take a note from Mario and make platforming and combat enjoyable.
