10 Iconic Video Game Franchises That Must Come To Current Gen Consoles
5. Hogs Of War
What we need is a war simulation that stands out from the rest, and there is no better option that noughties porktastic classic, Hogs Of War. The premise of the game isn't far from that of Worms, although Hogs Of War - I think - is the better of the two, purely for the accents alone. Plus, the Worms franchise has been milked profusely over the years and I think the notion of militaristic piggies will have greater appeal to a new audience of players.
Whereas the PS1 original was severely limited by primitive graphics and gameplay engines, current generation consoles will give developers the ability to completely rework Hogs Of War into a masterpiece. With the incorporation of an art style similar to that of Team Fortress or even Overwatch, and a heavy emphasis on online multiplayer, you'd be onto a winner.
Different time periods could also be utilised so players could kit out their piggies with equipment from both world wars, modern warfare and dare we say even the battlegrounds of the future? Hogs Of War would be the go to game for any casual gamers who enjoy a good laugh with their buddies as opposed to an evening of screaming about campers and lag switches.
Finally, clever writing and voice acting could ensure that Hogs Of War is crammed full of humorous pop culture references to really make the characters come alive... just before they're blown to bits.
