    Default 5 franchise reboots that got it right

    5 franchise reboots that got it right

    Which games proved that they deserved a second chance?

    You think Prince of Persia (2008) got it right? O.o Sure it wasn't a bad game but it didn't really feel like a Pop game either.

    Why would you include PoP 4 instead of Sand of Time? Sands of Time is pretty much the poster child for how to do a reboot correctly.

    I'm still interested in playing Lords of Shadow even if mostly for the story, but once again the pesky time thing keeps getting in the way.

    Yeah, Sands of Time is a WAY! better reboot than Pop4.

    I have Lord of Shadows, and while its not "bad" it just doesn't have any staying power. It feels like a sub par God of War Knockoff. Maybe I should try playing it again.

    If 2 turns out to be good then I may pick up 1 for cheap just to get the story.

    There were a few flaws with the game (Namely the combat), but all-in-all I felt it was a brilliant reboot for the series. The open world, the best platforming in any game to date (Outland being on par), the cell shaded graphics and the story elements were quite refreshing.

    My favourite PoP to date.

    Did you play the Sand of Time Trilogy? Like I said, not a bad game, just not a good Pop.

    Definitely this, I just wasn't quick enough to get online to post it lol.

    A rather strange list IMHO. Sands of Time was the reboot for the PoP series.
