Like the topic title says, who will be better fit to take over old franchises? We had some developers that have taken old franchises and recreate them with success for example, Retro Studios taking Metroid Prime from Nintendo's R&D 1 (the Late Gumpei Yokoi's division), Igarashi's take on Castlevania with Dracula X (Turbo Graphics) and recreating the franchise with Symphony of the Night, and of course Itagaki reviving Ninja Gaiden (the original creator Hideo Yoshizawa left Tecmo and is employed at Namco Bandai). As well as Sega having to co-develop with Nintendo to make F-Zero GX.

Of course there are bad iterations of other developers trying to recreate franchises, such as Mercury Steam's take on 3D Castlevania, and Ninja's Theory take on Devil May Cry.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the next Final Fantasy being developed by Eidos Montreal (makers of Deus Ex). I think they can give a spark for more western interest with the franchise. Also, would like to see Retro Studio's take on The Legend of Zelda franchise (hoping Aonuma retires after Zelda U is released). Also, I would like to see if Miyamoto can revive Sonic the Hedghog franchise, I would know he would do everything to return the games to their former glory.

@clyde46: Seriously? Any reason push you towards them over other cards?

I want the very best and those will be the very best when they come out. That being said, if they aren't that much better than the 980's I'll have to see.

I think that Mistwalker Studios could do some amazing things with the Final Fantasy franchise.

I also think that Yuji Naka and his studio Prope should handle the Sonic IP. I'm sure they can do something with it.

The Zelda series needs to be freshened up and I would really love to see a western developer make a Zelda game, maybe Retro or Bethesda.

A Sonic game made by Miyamoto would also be really interesting.

Here's one game i doubt anyone here has ever heard of: Tyrian. I think it'd be interesting to see it done by Jamestown dev Final Form Games.

I wouldn't mind Obsidian making Elder Scrolls 6.

In fact, Obsidian should make every fucking RPG Bethesda makes. God, I hope Bethesda don't bastardize Fallout further by announcing they are making FO4.

monolith soft to take over final fantasy. square are not fit for purpose. yes it would make it nintendo exclsuive but it may inject some quality back into the frachise. oddly enough the access to lower level horepower could also be a good thing for the franchise. it would cost less to create assets so it could be scaled up to a much bigger game for the same money than they could do on the PS4 or X1.

frontier or the star citizen developers to take over star fox. or volition if they are still going. it needs an overhaul and nintendo wont be up to that task.

create assembly for the next pikmin (because pikmin total war would be the bestest best thing ever in the history of everything!). blizzard would also be very good.

criterion to take on development duties for the next wipeout (god help you sony if there isnt another wipeout).

Platinum doesn't go out of their way to sexualize a character that isn't Bayonetta. More importantly they don't do the type of characters Sakamoto made in Other M, or a studio like Team Ninja does. If anything Platinum's broads are actually pretty powerful, dominant, head strong, funny, and not exactly obedient to some male character to a ridiculous extent. Which were valid criticisms of how shitty Samus was done in Other M, Platinum though? There previous work would imply they would do exact opposite of that.

That would be a fantastic idea.
