Warm Machine said:I don't think Road Rash or the Mutant League games ever made enough money to justify their development when the team could be making Fifa.
Genesis Knight said:Do You Remember the First Time?: I can't remember a worse time. Oh, but you know that we've changed so much since then, oh yeah, we've grown.
Interesting, I totally missed out on the PS ones; thought Urban Strike was the last for some reason. Seems like a Rearmed-style reboot would certainly work for that series though. I mean we haven't seen any games like it since.Genesis Knight said:Strike Series

Talk about a forgotten series. I can't remember the last time I heard ANYONE talk about these games, but they were so much fun!
Agreed on this. Although I'm not sure how well those compilations sell (though there are certainly some that I know have sold insanely well), especially if there are complaints about emulation and the like. I just want Rearmed-style updates for the old console franchises. (Or one of them! General Chaos for example would be another perfect XBLA title that would need very little tweaking to gameplay to succeed.) Someone should send this thread to Peter Moore in case he missed it....cuyahoga said:Can't believe they canned EA Replay 2 after it was finished.
Cool games yes, but I don't think EA ever had anything to do with the dev or publishing side though I could be wrong.The Heretic/Hexen series deserves mention. In these days of generic WWII FPS #685 they are desperately needed.

Actually my first thread on New GAF was me asking for a Mutant League revival.BMX Bandit said:Mutant League Football is the best football game ever made. Bribing/taking out the ref, throwing dynamite, the crazy teams. Would love an XBLA/PSN version to show up sometime.
Exactly! Truth be told I hate Dragon Age.cartman414 said:As in, fine, but no substitute for the original?
Oh wow. The screenshots in that thread bring back serious memories. Thanks for the link...now let's just hope someone with some swing from EA is reading this thread.AstroLad said:Actually my first thread on New GAF was me asking for a Mutant League revival.

Oh the memories, Jungle Strike was one of those games I played over and over to find out where all the fuel and rockets were hidden.Genesis Knight said:Strike Series
Famous For: Offering ridiculously difficult chopper arcade-style with loads of secrets, variety, and options over big maps, as well as hollywood-quality (hey, it was the 90s) mission design and an ton of cutscene kickassery and sweet military hardware.
Highlight: The original, Desert Strike, for offering the tightest and most concise gameplay of the series.
Lowlight: Urban Strike, for featuring on-foot run 'n gun segments that just didn't work.
Chances of Revival: Low. Although military games are all the rage flight simulation ones are not. Unless this sees an XBLA/PSN release as a $15 game there's no chance in hell of seeing Strike again.

Don't think that fits the criteria, didn't a new Oddworld just get announced/confirmed a few days ago?3rdman said:I can't think of a series that died while expressing a lofty or courageous spirit. Oddworld?
Yeah, also I don't think EA owns the IP anymore. I tried to stick to stuff currently in the EA Vault to the best of my knowledge, otherwise I would have thrown in Wasteland and others.Arucardo said:Don't think that fits the criteria, didn't a new Oddworld just get announced/confirmed a few days ago?
Will kill for a Crusader game on PSN/XBLA.Radogol said:
Disagree.Teknopathetic said:"If nothing else, it makes me wonder how much money they're leaving off the table by not signing with GOG.com. I'd kill to play some of those old PC games again."
I've said for awhile (since the Id super pack, actually) that EA is passing up SO MUCH cash by not releasing an EA Super Pack. They have SO MANY PC classics and it's not like they're actually doing anything with them. Package that shit up for 100-150$ and see how much it sells.
Absolutely. Frankly, I still think Road Rash 3 is the pinnacle of the series. Best music, funniest things to run over, best range of weapons, characters that actually react to your behavior, and significantly improved graphics. There's nothing in videogaming like a clean, precise crowbar blow to some jerk's helmet.AstroLad said:Road Rash Series
Do You Remember the Time?: You ran over a mile to the finish because you didn't want to be busted by a cop, only to find out you needed to be on your bike to finish? Well, I do.
You mean it's not coming out?!?AstroLad said:Mutant League Series
Lowlight: Being promised Mutant League Basketball on the back of the Mutant League Hockey manual.
Wait, how else would you win? Seriously, even trying to play MLHockey normally, I end up killing the opposing team most of the time.AstroLad said:Do You Remember the Time?: You won a game because the other team had too many dead players.
So True. Loved that one and its add-on Zero Hour. A very fun RTS.dr_rus said:
Much better than the original C&C line in my opinion. Why they went with that tiberium shit again after Generals is beyond me.

Urban strike had indoor isometric missions where you leave your vehicle and shoot people, I never liked it so went with Jungle Strike back when I had the choice.JaseC said:That shit was so frustrating. :lol I was introduced to the franchise with Desert Strike, but I have to say I much preferred Urban Strike for, well, I can't remember.
I don't think I've played the series since my early MegaDrive/SNES/PC days.
Youtube has a lot of nuclear strike footage, it looks real low poly and shit now but back at the time it was entertaining to play a strike game in real 3D it has a good mix of vehicles and one mission let's you mix two chemicals together to make nitroglycerine that you can use optionally as dropped bombsshagg_187 said:I haven't played Soviet and Nuclear Strike.

I think EA's doing just fine with Dead Space, it's got the same "sci-fi survival horror" thing going on.Mama Robotnik said:You have made this thread, and it is a fine thread, a fine thread indeed.
But it is is missing the vital two words: System. Shock.
As far as I'm concerned a XBLA/PSN release would be the perfect venue for this series.Genesis Knight said:Strike Series

As clunky and frustrating as it could get, I really loved this game.
