Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
So not as many people liked the last NiGHTS game NiGHTS journey of dreams. so do you think they should make a new game?

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Depends on how they go about it. Considering that JoD was an alternate universe of the original game, maybe they could pull it off again. Yet, now that I think about it, many fans didn't like the JoD universe....but, if Sonic Team fixes their mistakes made by JoD, this new universe might meet better reception.
Now, if we're talking about a direct sequel to JoD....
*WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! AVOID THE FOLLOWING BLACK FONT, IF YOU DON'T WISH TO BE SPOILED!*
....That'd be hard to pull off. I mean, if the special ending was the TRUE ending to JoD....
Wizeman and all of his creations cease to exist! No more Nightmare! No more Nightmaren! No more NiGHTS! ....Or, so we thought, at first. Something after the end credits did suggest that NiGHTS somehow still lives on.
But, who would (s)he fight, if not his/her siblings and creator? Mutated/Zombie Nightopians? A Cloverfield monster reject? Dick Cheney?
What would the game be about, if it's not about the norm of the NiGHTS series? Raising Nightopians?
There's your problem in that scenario. Even if NiGHTS manages to survive and live on, there's now a severe lack of enemies that (s)he can defend Nightopia and Dreamers from. Either a new enemy may be made up (and might be met with dislike by many fans, much like the Black Arms of Shadow the Hedgehog fame did) or Sonic Team's gonna have to back themselves out of that corner and create a whole new universe for the next installment.
*SPOILERS END HERE!*
....Personally, I'm fine with the idea of another NiGHTS game. I'm an easy person to please, so I'll be fine with almost anything.
Heck, I even enjoyed the mistakes Sonic Team made in JoD! My sister and I joked about the plot holes and faulty logic, laughing, Picard facepalming, and then laughing again all the way! XD
Oh, and the My Dream feature was so awesome! I had so much fun with it in between missions! If another game is made, I hope it comes with an improved version of My Dream....
So, yeah. Another NiGHTS is cool with me. ^_^

I think they should just take NiD add a few new special features (like an option to play as Reala, or the ability to change the levels BGM) and Release it for the Wii. No enhanced graphics, no additional storyline. Just good ol' NiD

I moved this to the Off Topic section since it's not TRS related.
Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
I feel there should not be a new NiGHTS game. JoD was rushed and hackneyed and turned out sub par. Plus, the same team that made NiD wouldn't be the ones making it. I think we should just be happy with NiD and keep playing that.

I posted, "maybe" since SEGA should improve on JoD, and make a game that wasn't rushed for fans to enjoy. Yet at the same time, more games might make the franchise like Sonic's and will lose its magic because they're running out of ideas. (Like hedgehogs having weapons.)

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Sorry, but I think it's a silly question. Of course SEGA needs to make more games starring me!
I mean, not to be vain or anything, but I was the unofficial mascot of the Saturn and I'm still beloved by hundreds if not thousands of fans across the world.
Yes JoD was rushed, but it was still a good game. Even though I'm not into the embroidery or lace (too girly), the gloves were kind of neat.
So by all means, I'd love another game! Maybe something a little less shiny and with more background though...

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
If they do decide to make a new game, it'd have to be Twilight Princess quality or better to restore my faith in Sega. And it can't be some little dinky level game like JoD. I want involved story line, amazing graphics, and decent voice actors! I swear, Helen's voice was some of the worst acting I've seen ever published in a game... And the plotline was downright cheesy and cookie cutter.
And really, they didn't realize until JoD Reala told them that NiGHTS was a freakin' Nightmaren?! Even if you didn't know the specifics, you'd think to ask what exactly was going on between them and make the connection. It's not like they were being subtle about it.
I voted maybe, but I'm not really enthusiastic about the idea.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
That's pretty demanding, Sarist.
I became a fan of the original game, which had no actual lines beyond some yelps and dream gibberish. What it had was a detailed background that took its cues from actual psychology.
As long as it has a good background and storyline, I really couldn't care less if it's CGI or 8 bit. Looks aren't everything.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Okay, maybe it doesn't have to be crazy amazing graphics, but there were parts of JoD that annoyed me with the grainyness of the character models and the clashing objects (particularly in the cutscene before you fight Queen Bella for the final time and she comes out of the trees).
And yeah, I guess I was a little demanding, but I still would want some voice actors who can do decent voices. Or at least a reason for why everyone suddenly developed an english accent.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Well, I agree with Sarist on Helen's voice. Will's was okay, considering that it had feelings put into it. I always find myself cringing inwardly at her monotonous voice.... -_-;
If a new NiGHTS game comes out, all I really wish for is that both Dreamers have voices that have emotion present within them. In short, I just don't want another Helen Cartwright disaster.

Um... because the kids were British? And NiGHTS takes on the characteristics of whoever (s)he's with?
Come on, if the children had been Latino, then NiGHTS would have had a Spanish accent. It's as simple as that.
In any case, this topic was addressing whether or not a new game is wanted, it's not for discussing the many shortcomings of JoD.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Yes, I would like to see a new NiGHTS game.
It dosen't matter what system it would be for. As long as we get one.
I do Know that I would like it to return to the mood & feel of the original game. It was a very magical & profound experience that I will never forget.

Hey, I had a dream about playing a new NiGHTS game that was more like the original. But it had fancier graphics. It was great! I wish it was real...

Latino NiGHTS.... so he would be...EL NOCHES?
Anyway, I say yes, because of them just trying to expand on the world of NiGHTS, and I emphasize the word "try". Far too often, the game creators have put too much thought into timeliness and not enough into effort, and this needs to stop. Seriously. No one is gonna care about how quick the games came out if they're of low quality.
What if they made NiGHTS a sandbox adventure game, with fully-custom skins, a buildable world with generating missions, and hidden secrets EVERYWHERE(that are worth the find)? Oh, and how about a better-than-JoD NiGHTS vs Reala fight? This means full-contact brawling, not that ball-throwing crud JoD pulled. Insult. Anyway, all that might be nice to see, I think. I was gonna say MMO capabilities, but I think that might clog the screen and slow the game down...alot. I mean, we'd have a bunch of maren flying around at once.

Thats an interesting idea, at least. But don't you think that might be taking it a bit too far?

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
While that could be fun, I think if SEGA makes a new NiGHTS game, they should work on something closer to NiGHTS into Dreams before attempting what you mentioned.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
I had a dream last night of NiGHTS flying through links with the camera following behind. Only (s)he was speaking in a monotone voice, going "I am having fun. Good work. Yay."
It was quite odd... as amusing as it was, I hope that doesn't make it into a new game! XD
But yeah, they should focus on quality. Not necessarily shiny graphics so much as going back to their roots, incorporating dream features and psychology into the levels.
That's what made the original game appeal to so many people.

Almost wish they could take a page from creepypasta's story.
Almost. They'd never actually do it, though...

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
I wonder. Should the new NiGHTS game have a new cast of Children in it Or do You think it would be better to bring back the Kids from the previous two games?

It'd be interesting to have a return of the original dreamers, Elliot & Claris.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
That will never work unless you want another remake of the original.
The reason why most of the original Nightmaren were not in JoD is that Will and Helen are not afraid of the same things that Claris and Elliot were.
NiGHTS and I are the exception since we are First Class Nightmaren, and the others are mere bosses.
New kids = new fears, and new fears = new Nightmaren.
You can't have it both ways.
But if you think that you have a way to make a new adventure using the same characters, the same bosses, and the same dream levels, by all means send it to SEGA.

Re: Should SEGA make a new NiGHTS game?
Yes!
There should be several games, each with a different set of dreamers and a different look for NiGHTS, since NiGHTS' appearance is based on how the dreamers see NiGHTS.
It would be so neat to see all those different designs!
