Wait til you hear about Dino Crisis 3 lmao.
Not gonna lie, I would love to see them give Dino Crisis the RE remake treatment.
The NES Mario and Zelda games. Such strange transitions on both accounts, although I think Mario 2 has aged better (and is better), I just never liked Adventure of Link much.
Darksiders basically changes genre with every game. I’d say it’s the definitive answer to this.
Final Fantasy has gone from turn-based to action.
Yakuza went from action to turn-based.
Ys has gone from isometric to third person, and solo-character to party-based.
Fire Emblem changes secondary mechanics and storytelling so often that it’s led to a fanbase that doesn’t agree on much of anything.
Guild Wars 2’s only real commonalities with GW1 are the world and horizontal progression.
Assassin’s Creed became a poor man’s Witcher 3.
Diablo changed drastically between entries.
Shining has run the gamut of first person dungeon crawlers, strategy RPGs, and action RPGs.
Shoutout to Parasite Eve and PE2
Parasite eve 1 and 2. Almost in the weird same way lol.
Fallout 2 to Fallout 3
Dino Crisis 2 felt more like the Resident Evil 4 prototype than Devil May Cry did.
Bioshock 1 and 2 to Infinite
Perfect Dark to Perfect Dark Zero, and Banjo Kazooie to Nuts & Bolts.
Final Fantasy Tactics ——> Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 😔
they look pretty samey to me. care to explain the differences?
Ikari Warriors
Whenever I see those titles, I always think of Dreamcast’s knock off, Blue Stinger.
I want a remake of that game.
Far Cry 1 to 2 was a big jump (and Crysis is more of a sequel in terms of ‘shooter on a jungle island.’)
Also GTA 2 to 3. The change from top-down to open world 3d 😲
Jak & Daxter went from a kid-friendly collect-em-all platformer to a gritty, dystopian GTA-style sandbox game with guns and cursing
3rd Birthday aka Parasite Eve 3 (PSP)
No one mentioned RE3 to RE4
The Legacy of Kain games were quite different. Blood Omen you play as Kain and then Soul Reaver you played as Raziel who was killed by Kain and became a wraith.
Old game, but dig dug and dig dug 2 were like completely different games
Toejam and Earl
Dynasty Warriors 1 to 2
I really wish Dino Crises 2 got the Resident Evil remake love. That game was soo damn good
Doom 3
Dragon Age to Dragon Age 2
Digimon World and Digimon World 2. Then Digimon World 3 brought it back to be more like DW1, but DW2 is so weirdly set apart in the series
Alundra 1 & 2. 1 was more a zelda clone with a similar map system where you would slowly push back the boundaries as you quest and get new items. 2 was a linear corridor arpg.
Dawn of War 1 & 2. Early RTS with capture points but still had some base building vs squad based gameplay with exp and inventory carried between missions.
Nightmare Creatures
every other ff games
Dune into Dune II (subsequently inventing the RTS genre)
Very old example, but Zelda II: The adventure of Link.
It’s a very, VERY, different game compared to the first Zelda.
Red dead revolver to red dead 1
Dune 1: point-and-click adventure
Dune 2: real time strategy
Final Fantasy 1 to Final Fantasy 2. Kinda different.
Metroid 1 to Metroid 2. Also kinda different.
Zelda 1 to Zelda 2. VERY different.
Castlevania 1 to 2, Super Mario Bros 1 to 2, Super Mario Land 1 to 2, then 2 to 3, all slightly different from their predecessor.
Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2
Risk of Rain 1 & 2
The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link
I liked both
Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross could be two different franchises and I would believe it.
Dead Space 1 > Dead Space 2 > Dead Space 3.
Dead Space 1 is pure horror, Dead Space 2 is horror with a sprinkling of action, and Dead Space 3 is like Michael Bay took over (and ruined everything).
