Sometimes video games cross over, as seen with Super Smash Bros., Tekken X Street Fighter and Playstation Move Heroes. Sometimes these crossovers are good, other times not so much. With the recently announced Batman/ Superman movie everyone seems to be talking about crossovers in any medium. Ive been looking around for a lot of crossover ideas and noticed a lot of great ones and a lot of really dumb ones. Of course just because they sound cool on paper doesnt mean such crossovers would at all work. With that being said some of the crossovers on this list arent necessarily character and settings mixing to form one game in which said characters meet, some are simply the merging of ideas in certain games to make a really great game, whilst not having the characters or lore crossover. Youll better understand what I mean after reading a few of the ideas Im about to pitch. Without blathering on too long or attempting to explain the crossovers lets just delve right in. Here are 10 video game crossovers that would be incredibly awesome.
10. Jak & Daxter - Ratchet & Clank
I put this one first on the list as its such a no-brainer that I may as well get it out of the way. That sounds like its a boring choice or one that I wouldnt care to see, on the contrary as a massive fan of both series I would be extremely happy with it. Fans of both Playstation platformers have been somewhat expecting this one, and whilst we got a mild crossover in Playstation Move Heroes, wed all love a fully fleshed out game with the great gameplay and stories of both games. Both games feature duos, one big, one small, non-humans, and semi-open-world settings. Ratchet and Clank sprawls the universe via Ratchets ship. Jak and Daxter does have some dimension-skipping moments and enough sci-fi elements that it could feasibly fit with Ratchet and clank. Although we could see a game where Ratchet and Clank crash land on Jaks planet, eliminating the need to explain how Jak and Daxter can suddenly planet-hop. These two games even have similar aesthetic, gameplay and humour styles, meaning they really are a no-brainer. Hopefully one day we can see this event occur but seeing as Jak and Daxter havent been seen since 2004 I wont be holding my breath.
