forgotten franchise revival

[gamemaster1991]

So Uncharted 4 will be a revival of a franchise because Uncharted 3 came out 4 years ago in 2011... 4-5 years is hardly a forgotten franchise.
Hell there's a 5 year gap between Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy. Hell Metroid Prime 3 came out in 2007 (and if you count Metroid Other M that's still 2010) and it would be mad to say Metroid is a forgotten franchise. A franchise that desperately needs a 2D entry again, but not forgotten.

So no, NiGHTS doesn't count. I mean the last NiGHTS game may have been forgettable, but I don't think that makes it a forgotten franchise.

I don't understand what you count as a forgotten franchise. I would count a game that either the public, the company, or both has forgoten about along ago. I could count Ristar as a forgotten franchise, but Sega has not forgotten about it (from the looks of SEGA All-stars Racing along with NiGHTS) and nither have the fans. I have a feeling that if Samus was not in Smash, Nintendo would forget about the Metriod francise, due to how much they don't like it. Most people would say that Half Life is a forgoten franchise but a lot of people remember it.

I really don't like to have people upset with me, So as a way of saying sorry and not to start off on the wrong foot, I'll rewrite my list of forgotten franchises I want to see more of:

Alter Echo
Bloody Roar
Doctor Lautrec
Malice
Okage
Sudeki
Under The Skin
Whacked!

I'm surprised that you pointed out NiGHTS and not Prince of Persia, since PoP is remembered more then NiGHTS is.
