10 Gaming Franchises Sega Really Need To Resurrect
5. Galaxy Force
With the advent of virtual reality becoming an actual reality, everyone is looking to jump on the V.R. bandwagon. While one classic Sega game has already been announced as making its way to the PS4 V.R. set-up, the superb Dreamcast and PS2 shooter Rez, surely the other ideal game from Sega’s catalogue would be Galaxy Force?
The original Galaxy Force arcade game hit the arcades in 1988 and wowed audiences with its 3D graphical effects and hydraulic cabinet. An enhanced sequel soon followed and this was ported to many platforms with mixed results, only the Saturn and PS2 versions having the hardware to really pull it off.
It wowed audiences once again in 2013 when Galaxy Force II was selected as one of the first games in Sega’s 3D Classics series for the Nintendo 3DS. This version was so impressive that it far surpassed the original arcade game.
I certainly believe that Sega up the ante even further by turning Galaxy Force into a fully immersive experience if the previous games are anything to go by. They would probably need to transition the game into a first person cockpit view and make the level structure a bit more open but the core gameplay would remain intact. Galaxy Force VR has the potential to be a real game changer.
