what if it was... dark?
y'know that era where seemingly every well-regarded franchise got rebooted with some bizarrely realistic, or gritty coat of paint?
that's what we're talking about here
suggestions welcome. note that the title needs to be part of a preexisting game series that wasn't already (visually) dark

nah. gta 3 looking the way it did wasn't left field or anything by any stretch of the imagination. gta 4 might be appropriate though for how suddenly bleak it is
idk if twilight princess counts
Jak II
DmC
is this exclusively based on aesthetic/design or does the content of the game count too
@compost i think tp is the closest nintendo got to hiring this man. it has a similar vibe to like ssb brawl aesthetically. granted the series has been plenty dark before (and usually is) so idk maybe you're right
@mortopol i'm not really familiar with the series but just off what i've seen i don't think jak ii seems like a far cry from the original
@shu nah. dmc is just a shitty western reboot that went edgy in the wrong direction
@lynx more aesthetic over content but they can go hand in hand. sort of a you-know-it-when-you-see-it kinda thing

aight nah this jak 1 > 2 jump is ridiculous lmao i'll add it
sleeping dogs? It was originally meant to be a game in the true-crime series but had to be renamed. the game itself is pretty serious compared to what I saw in the true-crime games.
For potential additions, maybe add in Sonic Unleashed (vs Sonic & the Secret Rings) and Rayman 2 (vs the original Rayman)?
Would sly 2 count?
Also Gonna suggest the Mario Strikers Games, Pac-man World 3, Star-Fox Assualt, Ty 3 and Spider Man: Web of Shadows
Bionic Commando and Bomberman Act Zero should get thrones and accolades, they might be the greatest examples of this.
I'd second DmC but also suggest Shinobi (2002) and Transformers: War for Cybertron, and maybe Tekken 4.
