Best Reboot of the 7th Gen

Mass Effect, it was an effective reboot of Superman 64 and E.T. for the Atari 2600 and emulated their quality perfectly.

DmC or Tomb Raider.

Granted, I haven't finished DmC yet, but I've been thoroughly impressed so far.

I guess I should actually beat Tomb Raider before I make a decision

Fallout 3 was a great game and I really liked it - but I'm still not convinced it needed the Fallout IP. I mean it was a different genre changed many elements of the lore and had a very different feel to either of the first two. As a result in quite conflicted. :P

The only one I've really played was Mortal Kombat. Hmm...

A lot of games there are great but don't really come off the back of bad ones, like Tomb Raider. It was getting stale but the newer games were still pretty good.

Mortal Kombat, Fallout and Rayman were the best in as far as they took a series that was crap/dormant/bastardised and made it something great/different/exceptional.

Don't cut yourself with that edge.

So which one did you vote for?

where in the **** is kid Icarus uprising?

that game was a metamorphosis,

yet you put tired sequels and shitty shooters,

you should be ashamed op

Oh yeah, Rayman Origins and Legends are great.

Tomb Raider easily. Followed by Mortal Kombat and DmC.

IMO every single reboot this gen has been met with mediocrity although I didn't know Fallout 3 was a reboot.....

Mortal Combat was fun for an afternoon although not necessarily a reboot since the others were sort of a vision, Street Fighter was Street Fighter, Tomb Raider was a real example of Lugoscababib Discobiscuits unlike Bioshock and Lara also had an obviously bad fake English accent, Devil May Cry just wasn't Devil May Cry, Medal of Honor LMAO, Rayman Origins no one really pays attention to continuity in those games anyway, everything was pretty much meh.

Regardless I have to give it to Twisted Metal as the stories alone justified the reboot, we get few games even M rated willing to tell stories without limitation and not trying to sugar coat everything out of fear of offending someone. Twisted Metal clearly did not give a $%&# and for that it gets my vote.

3DS is 8th gen.

The correct answer is Tomb Raider, and wrong answer is Fallout 3. Eww.. just eww..

Not necessarily the best, but my favorite would have to be Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (that counts, right?)

Best was Tomb Raider.

well fallout 3 then

Out of your list, Rayman.

You'll have to forgive Adobe, he's too caught up in the mainstream media.

Ha, whoops, should have said that, I went for Rayman just because it was a series I didn't think would ever really come back after all that Rabbids nonsense and if it did come back I expected it to be a simplistic game for kids. But thankfully I was wrong and they did a great job with it.

From that list, Rayman.

Another good that is not on the list is Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Rayman origins is not a reboot.

Mortal Kombat could be considered one by story wise it's also technically not a reboot. Street Fighter IV is also not a reboot.

Not Tomb Raider for sure lol. I'd go with Fallout 3 but i have never played the older Fallout titles so yeaaaa

All three are categorized as reboots by the industry.

SNIPER, is that you? ;) :P

Show me Rayman Origins which is a sequel, and Stret Fighter IV, whic is a Sequel, are both called with 5 links each, reboots by legit media sources that are different.

Fallout3... I missed the time in gaming that the prequels were cool, because when I played them they didn't hold my interest... Fallout3 is one of the best rpgs of gen 7 with ease, maybe one of my favorite first playthroughs ever.

if pissing all over a beloved character and then openly mocking every fan of the games who liked him is your definition of a good reboot, then I guess...

gameplay is good, but it's not OMG THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. DmC was a reboot that never should have happened because everyone wanted a sequel instead. Doesn't matter if the game was ok or not, it's failed financially which means it was a complete backfire. Should have seen that one coming, crapcom.

You should quote someone that feels the same way about the DmC reboot, because freedom doesn't give a poo.

Tomb Raider/Rayman.

How DARE YOU!!! ... :P

"beloved character" what a joke. The old Dante was absolutely nothing special or memorable in the first place.

Twisted Metal? Really?

Definitely Mortal Kombat

More like Double Dragon 3 the Bimmy and Jimmy ending.

It wouldnt say it was the best Reboot, but damn was it awesome, especially the personality of the fighters and the whole Round 2 making things even harder and Donkey Kong as a secret Fighter

Fun Fact: The Secret Fighter was originally gonna be Princess Peach

You never played Twisted Metal did you, or did it hurt yours feelwings

Tomb Raider

where is the option for Deus Ex?

From what I've seen, it looks like the best one in the series so far.

*sigh* You'll have to forgive Adobe, he's too caught up in the mainstream media. (how many times will I have to repeat this?)

It is. By far.

The streamlining of the different styles and more interesting weapons to fight with. Also, Dante isn't an empty shell anymore so that sure as hell helps.

Oh, and btw, the artstyle of this game doesn't wanna make you throw up as opposed to previous DMC games.

I chose Fallout 3. I played the previous Fallout games but they lacked explanation (like most old games) and I didn't care to read up on how the games work. I tried figuring it out on my own but to failure. I've never played a game like it before, so that didn't help. Point being, Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games from last gen so I feel it still deserves the spot.

Gameplay looks way more fun. Gameplay is the most important thing.

Human Revolution is a prequel. It's the history leading up to the events before J.C. Denton.

and he even makes an appearance in the end after the credits

Tomb Raider

@AdobeArtist: I thought this thread was about reboots, not sequels. Tomb Raider is as much a prequel as Deux Ex HR

I would pick Mortal Kombat, the last game really went back to what made the game great and the industry received it well.

Either Tomb Raider or Rayman. Didn't care about them before the reboots.

DMC is the best... Said no one ever. -__-

Between DmC and Tomb Raider for me. Loved both to pieces.
