Twisted Metal, anyone?

I'm gonna preceed with caution.

Sort of like 'Skyrim' or is that already on the shitcan list by default?

That, and then they sell it to a demographic for which those names mean nothing.

It's like re-naming a boy band "The Doors" and having them play banal pop music for little girls. Why bother?

Crusader was good shit.
How bout a Gauntlet reboot?

Mechwarrior sure could use a reboot...

True dat.

However, and even though the cynic in me, or rather the cynic that is me would like to point out that the following statement may cause considerable burn damage but then, someone has to ask. It's just a game about running people over, how hard can they fuck it up?

I'll be picking up a fire extinguisher on my way home, just in case.

ED 209 would fuck ED101 up.

He was probably based on ed 209. Most Carma chars were based on real people/pop culture crapola IIRC.

Also, see 'XCOM' or innumerable other looming catastrophic disappointments.

The only thing the general you can rely upon is the capacity for others to defile the things the general you enjoyed/held dear. The distinction between carelessness and malice isn't especially pertinent.

FAKT.

when there're a couple of people out there who'd be quite acceptable targets for a bit of a spanking-whilst-tied-to-a-chair.

If you contend you'd rather see sex between two consenting adults instead of rape, then sure, although you are aware that that's

I do, however, hereby commit to being smacked upside the head with a bottle of Coke by mr.

Only Shadowrun game I know of was a shitty Xbox/PC release. How do you rape a franchise that contains only one game?

Franchise is a license.

Okay, so they ruined an NES game no one cared about in the first place. We're talking about real games here.

I'm talking about intellectual property. Instead of ignoring Wasteland lite, maybe you should try it?
