With Blade Runner 2099, Tron: Ares, and a new GitS series all coming in 2025 I’m curious which franchise will always keep you coming back for more, even when you know each new entry is progressively worse than the last (looking at you, Terminator franchise).
Personally, I’m always ready for more Deus Ex and I’m disappointed that the next game is already cancelled. Also, I’ll always come back for more Watch_Dogs. Dumb as it may be, I love that series.
So what franchise are you always excited to hear is still alive?
Def not ongoing but by far the best cyberpunk game I’ve ever played was MacSyndicate. Old school, kind of more of a bit management game, where you are running a criminal enterprise in competition with other criminal enterprises on a path towards global control.
There is a remake that I played but it really missed the spirit, where in the 90s version the ‘Agents’ were somewhat independent and you really just supervised, in the remake its much more like having a squad where you have to take pretty complete control over each agent to get them to be effective.
