Over the last few years (decade or more) we have completely embraced nostalgia; so much so, that even people who weren't alive to experience something as it made it's way into the world, haven't had the opportunity to experience anything different. As I sit here, writing this, I'm trying to think of truly unique ideas and that have made their way into the media, and had some semblance off staying power since the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but even that had threads that were already woven into the fabric of the media that we wrap ourselves up in.
Being a parent, my hope is placed in a couple of things. The first of which, being a game that took the world by storm and has managed to have some foothold on the gaming industry despite it's age, and that game is Fortnight. There is potential here for storytelling, what's left to be discovered is if anyone involved has the wherewithal to push that before it's too late, and we get something akin to the Warcraft movie. When its cash-grab and attempt to salvage some semblance of its former glory. This is left to be seen. My real hope lies in a Chuck E. Cheese like monstrosity know as Freddy Fazbear. Five Nights at Freddy's as a game franchise captured the attention of a young audience, searching for something edgy. The team behind it, did so with a fear of animatronics coming to life, that anyone who has ever been to Chuck E. Cheese can relate to, gets the love that it so deserves. Bring on the new stuff!
Thanks for hanging out
