Gaming Genre that could see a renissance in the next generation

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

what are the best games? The only one i've played was RE6 which i'm playing now in 2player coop mode

Here's a few:

Amnesia: The Dark Descent was the game that started the renaissance:

Either Survival Horror or beat'em ups. My vote went to Survival Horror.

Since Amnesia dropped (could be before it, but that's the benchmark in my mind), Survival Horror has seen a bit of a renaissance. It's not even because of hardware imo, it's just the realization that these games are more effective when you limit direct encounters and focus on hiding over combat imho.

Hack and Slash has a really good shot too. Dragon's Crown is straight fire and I even saw good reviews for the latest Dynasty Warriors (I might cop Extreme Legends just for the nostalgia).

Last one I'll throw out thanks to Telltale pretty much by itself...point and click adventure type games. The Cave was slept on, Monkey Island got HD remakes and Walking Dead/Wolf Among Us/Game of Thrones are all on the verge of being franchises that have multiple sequel value in this genre.

if vr takes off i could see simulation games pick up. imagine gta and the sims in a vr headset

I wouldn't mind seeing side-scrolling beat-em-ups come back (ie SOR, Double Dragon, etc).

Dragon's Crown was slept on, awesome beat em up game with RPG elements.

Survival/Horror games could really be great though in this new generation, there's been some piff out there lately.

Visual Novel styled games are also becoming bigger among handhelds, especially when the story is actually worth enjoying.

we def need a game with super realistic dinosaurs

 

[Batter Up]

Text-based strategy games

Lol @ wtf happened to Bomberman. I still got Bomberman 64.

Every once and a while my bro and I would get drunk and play on n64 games for nostalgia...this was one of em . We need a worthy Bomberman sequel, bruhs



If it were up to me, I would wanna see more beat em ups/hack and slash titles next gen. Imagine a Final Fight reboot with the next gen treatment.

Monster hunter to a degree...alotta fantasy is added

 

[duncanthetall]

Survivor Horror been coming back due to dope indies same with platformers. But SH games with VR would be a logical step

Point and click type adventure games are alive and well on the handhelds. They pretty much go hand in hand with the mystery games like Layton, Ghost Trick, n Danganronpa

 

[Wild self]

Beat em ups like Streets of Rage and platformers with crazy lush environments and imagination bending boss fights/ enemies.
