The fate of a Sega Franchise is at stake today!

Vote for what you think will be the next franchise to be remade. Options from the Sega-16 bit era, to stay with the site.

[Melf]

You can eliminate Chakan, VectorMan, and SoR from that poll, unless Sega's decided to revive their cancelled projects. My best bet would be Afterburner, although a Kid Chameleon done a la Rayman 2: The Great Escape would be awesome.

[Genesis Knight]

There was an Afterburner game at Sega's E3 theatre...was it on a next-gen system?

[Elusive]

It was a semi-complete version of Afterburner, to the point where a HUD and enemies were viewable, played on the XBOX360. And it looked amazing!

[VinnyT]

Edit time!

EDIT: Forget it, you apparently can't edit polls.

[j_factor]

Doom Troopers. :P

I'm telling you people, it's totally Flicky.

[VinnyT]

Alex Kidd!

[Genesis Knight]

So if they've already announced Afterburner, then Melf's guess has to be wrong, correct?

[GeckoYamori]

Wasn't this supposed to be an unannounced title?

[Melf]

Hmm, that's true. What other major franchise would they be considering bringing back though? Altered Beast and Shinobi have already been revived, the Shining series and Phantasy Star are alive and well, and a few others were shown at E3.

Streets of Rage would be the only other one I can think of, unless it's Wonder Boy. Westone did announce on their site that they were looking for 2D designers and such, so...

[VinnyT]

If it was a sequel to Comix Zone, alone with a whole new cd of American records songs, I'd grab it right away.

[Melf]

I would love that, but STI is dead, and the whole team spread all over the place. It's like Eternal Champions (another possible candidate?), unless a new team does wonders, I'd prefer the original group.

[VinnyT]

Possible titles i'm reading off of Genesis Collective:

Zoom
Zero Tolerance
Eternal Champions
Virtua Racing
Sword of Vermillion
Crusader of Centy
Ranger-X
Rent-a-Hero
Ristar
Pengo
Pulseman
The Ooze
Decap Attack
Toki:Going Ape Spit
Jewel Master
Greendog
E-Swat:City Under Seige
Cyborg Justice
Biohazard Battle
Bonanza Brothers
Body Count

[GeckoYamori]

For a new Comix Zone I sure as hell would prefer if they didn't use the god damn cel-shading technique. Why hasn't anyone tried using jittered edges for rendering? One of my friends tried that for Quake 1, and it looked pretty damn awesome. It's a much better way of creating that gritty, comic-book feel.

Streets of Rage :D
