Sahuagin posted... that MP is an "FPS" (which it is only in a strict and meaningless sense) is completely irrelevant to what's good about it. Gimmick doesn't mean bad. However, the fact that they were taking an established franchise and using a completely different spin to drum up interest is very gimmicky. Sahuagin posted... even taking the term literally, a "rehash" is not simply another version of something, it's an unnecessary version of something. melee VS SSB1 is not a rehash, it's too different, they play nothing alike. Brawl on the other hand is basically the same as melee but worse. So basically your criteria is nothing more than "if I liked it, it's not a rehash; if I don't like it, it is"? >_> And, more importantly, not only are most sequels unnecessary (only real exception is something that continues the story after a cliffhanger), but no game is technically necessary. Sahuagin posted... regardless, what I'm really complaining about is not second versions of franchises, but rather having a lineup that consists almost exclusively of 4th-10th versions of franchises. (a rebuttal to this point could be that I will nevertheless happily play TES 6, Doom 5, etc.etc. the thing though is that on PC I have so much selection that I do get my favorite franchises returning for the umpteenth time, but I also get an endless stream of new and original concepts as well.) But if you're arguing from a perceived quality standpoint (a la Melee), the number of other games is irrelevant =p And, of course, there are older franchises coming back with newer (or even gimmicky) concepts. One of the 3DS's coolest titles was Kid Icarus Uprising, a cash-in on renewed KI interest after Brawl that pretty much offered everything (long campaign, time-running, multiplayer co-op and FFA pvp, a comprehensive weapon upgrades system, etc). The problem with KIU, though, is that it DIDN'T get a sequel. Sahuagin posted... I bought my PC something like 7 years ago and have upgraded the video card once for about $200-300. Funny thing, 7 years after I bought my DS, I upgraded to a 3DS for $130 =p --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:905217602] in What are y...
