If you were to pick out one big buzzword to sum up this entire video game generation so far, what would it be? Maybe micro-transactions, or Virtual Reality depending on how that pans out. How about frame rates, with every site nitpicking every little drop in every game as a sign of how terrible either a console or game is? But no word (or part of a word as the case may be) has been as definitive of this generation as the 're-' suffix. Remasterings, reboots, remakes, they've all fuelled a huge part of this gaming generation - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse - and we need to accept them as an integral part of the gaming scene, lest we become sticks-in-mud pining for the 'good old days' of endless new IPs and diversity. But nothing everything prefixed with a 're-' is for the wrose, and reboots in particular are a great way for a franchise to put the past behind it and say "Let's trying doing things a little differently this time". In the tough world of games development, this is as likely to fail as it is to succeed, but 2016 promises to be a fine year for the reboot, and here are the most promising ones the year will have to offer.
