Has there even been a reboot of a series that ended up either being as good or even better than the original series? I'm really trying to think but I can't come up with one outside of Sands of Time.

>Donte Podría llorar was a downgrade of the previous games but was atleast more tolerable than 2

>Tomb Raider became an uncharted clone and was basically the same game rereleased three times

>DOOM 2016 was an okay shooter with a great OST that never reached MAXIMUM DAKKA like the original games

>Ratchet & Clank reboot missed everything that made the first game great and made a shallow reboot

>Wolfenstein (2009) was one of the most bland and forgettable games to ever come out from Bethesda.

I don't know anything about the Prey reboot as I briefly played the first one and know nothing about the reboot other than it supposedly being similar to system shock.

Ninja Gaiden Xbox and Prince of Persia come to mind.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time comes to mind as one people seem to be pretty fond of. The first entry, anyhow.

After PoP3D I think people would've found anything to be an improvement. First gamebryo game by the way.

Souls series were a spiritual successor to the King's field series, but I think that was limited to the healing herb name being the same and a moonlight sword and that was about it. However it wasn't much of an improvement or the reverse, both are fine series.

>Spiritual successor to King's Field.

Is that what From Soft is calling having to rename its RPG every 5 fucking years or so because it keeps selling the name to other companies?

Anon it IS fucking King's Field.

I thought Ninja Gaiden Xbox was a sequel? I never played the NES games though, so I don't know for sure.

The Prey reboot isn't even a Prey reboot. it's just a different game, that was almost certainly developed as such, until Bethesda slapped the license onto it. I hear it's pretty good.

>different gameplay in general

>almost has no relation to the original trilogy, including most of the characters being replaced by characters totally not from dead or alive

>even the key items like the two dragon statues aren't here

I don't think they're related at all outside of Irene, who might as well be a different character entirely.

Of course it's going to be different 3 hardware generations later, but my (admittedly limited) understanding is that nothing about the Xbox game actually retcons or reboots the NES games.

It's also still the same concept, even in terms of gameplay, "ninja slices through hordes of enemies" just transitioned from 2d to 3d. It's not like they changed genres.

Is Ocarina of Time a "reboot" because it was the first 3d Zelda?

Those are remakes. A reboot would be much more different, keeping only the most essential points of the original. See the bastard Robocop and Ghostbusters movies.

It's a "prequel" but it has almost no relation to the NES game so it might as well be a reboot.
