10 Times Video Game Franchises Were Rebooted Into The Worst Thing Ever

10. Turok

When it came time to reboot the Turok series in 2008, developers at Propaganda Games took it upon themselves to go about it in the blandest way possible.

Originally a franchise about a Native American warrior hunting down dinosaurs, the reboot instead decided to drop all of the intriguing parts of the original game and just smash it together with a generic sci-fi shooter that ripped off the likes of Doom and Gears of War.

While the dinosaurs were still present, they were only incidental and confined to the backdrop while the bulk of the game concerned itself with having you shoot gruff space marines across boring jungle landscapes.

Instead of rejuvenating the franchise for modern audiences the developers sucked the life out of the series entirely, somehow managing to make dinosaurs uncool for a whole decade in the process.
