Bionic Commando 2009 isn’t a reboot, it’s a canonical sequel to the 1988 game. And while Prey 2017 is technically a reboot of the 2006 game (I say technically because it was actually made as a spiritual successor to System Shock and has nothing to do with Prey 2006 or its cancelled sequel), it’s from a completely different publisher and developer.
Dante's Inferno (the more recent one) is criminally underrated. It was really fun and its depiction of Hell and its residents was really cool...too bad we never got a follow-up.
Not bad for a video game based on what's been accused by some as being Bible fan fiction. (I just really needed an excuse to type that out. Just to see if it sounds any less stupid)
I only recently discovered that one of my favourite PS1 games shares its name with an unrelated indie game. Circuit Breakers (1998) is a Micro Machines-inspired racing game, but Circuit Breakers (2015) is a twin-stick shooter. I guess one thing they have in common is that they're top-down games. 😂
Another example: Tales of Destiny 2 The original Tales of Destiny was very well received in the USA, so when the next game in the Tales of series came out, Tales of Eternia, they renamed it Tales of Destiny 2 because they thought it would increase sales numbers ... and then an actual Tales of Destiny 2 came out in Japan which takes place like 20 years after the original game. Because of that murrican nonsense with Eternia, the true Tales of Destiny 2 was never released in the west. So there are two Tales of Destiny, which are part of the same series of games but completely different entries.
It’s kind of a similar case with Shadow Warrior. Just like DOOM, Shadow Warrior was an old 90’s FPS that eventually got a reboot, which had the exact same name as the original. But when the original game got ported to Steam, they titled it “Shadow Warrior Classic” to separate it’s identity from the reboot game.
@@Marc_Araujo Well, the reboot games were noticeably different from the original in various aspects (Shadow Warrior 2 was definitely the most strangely different, as it was a looter shooter like Borderlands), but they’re still pretty good games in their own right.
Reminds me of the confusion around 2018’s Halloween. Most people initially assumed it was a reboot since it had the same title as both the 1978 original and 2007 remake, but it was actually a direct sequel to the 1978 film that just retconned all the other sequels out of existence.
Honestly no one takes the cake on naming more than Xbox. I am a big fanboy and love collecting the original xbox consoles and peripherals, but man is it an absolute struggle trying to search for stuff when it's ALL XBOX! even putting in "xbox classic" or "original xbox" yields either classic looking new gen stuff, or brand new original stuff for new gen. Definitely frustrating
microsoft has a terrible track record for naming shit. Why is Windows XP called XP and why is it still the best windows OS ever made? Why Xbox in the first place, and than on top of that, 360? and then we all thought 720 was the next logical name for the Xbox but NO its the Xbox ONE?
7:00 - uh... Human Head/2K Studios may have grounds for a lawsuit for that recently-released Prey movie that has... uncomfortably close similarities with the idea of native-american protagonists VS aliens and having the same exact title
I know of 2 other video games that are completely different but have the same name. And those are Neverwinter Nights from 1991 and Neverwinter Nights from 2002.
Here's an example of two entire series: There's the futuristic racing game series Wipeout, and there's also at least four games based on the obstacle-course game show Wipeout.
The few coworkers that I asked about Wipeout, assumed I was talking about the show 🙁. Only had a few 3D games for the PS3, but Wipeout looked great with the ship floating out in front of you, almost out of the screen!
THis is why i love this channel, firstly for the silly team and especially tiny peter and second cause there is such interesting topics. Also Dante inferno needs a remake such a trippy concept
Surprised he didn’t mention Sonic The Hedgehog master system release, which was a completely different game to the Mega Drive version apart from sharing some level themes
There are legitimate reasons for most of these: 10 - same IP 8 - same IP 7 - same source material 6 - rebooted IP 5 - same IP 2 - same IP 1 - same IP So only 3 items in your list actually fulfil the concept for your list.
I knew Ben and Peter (and the whole cultaholic gang) from the WC days. I also knew and loved Simon Miller. I fell off WC when all of them walked out (except for Simon, of course), so I didn't knew where the "If you want to get serious about this" came from. The video is interesting and neat but OMG so that is the origin of the Millerisms!
Although not the EXACT same name, it is interesting to consider the similarities of 'Deus Ex Machina' from 1984 and 'Deus Ex' from 2000. Both are considered very innovative works when they were first released and are often cited as examples in the argument for "video games as a form of art". The gameplay for each is, of course, very different: The first is an art-game that guides the player through Shakespeare's 'Seven Ages of Man' while they take directions from a group of celebrities (such as ex-Doctor Who star John Pertwee) giving instructions on an audio cassette that came packaged with the game. The second, is an action RPG mixing stealth and first-person-shooting and is recognised for it's freedom of choice for the player and branching narratives. Interestingly, both games are set in dystopian futures and are about artificial intelligence and the relationship between humanity and machines. In the first game you control a machine that becomes sentient and experiences the lifecycle of a human being after the last mouse on Earth crawls into the machine and dies from a nerve gas attack. In the second game, you control an agent with super-human abilities as the result of nanotechnology who, in one story route, has to decide if he should merge his consciousness with a sentient A.I. to rule the world. I wonder when 'Deus Ex' first came out in 2000 if anyone thought it might have been a continuation or reboot of 'Deus Ex Machina', despite neither game being related.
I'm glad America chose not to release the true SMB2 and instead re-skin Doki Doki Panic as a Mario game. We eventually got the true sequel as part of the all-stars collection anyway and if they hadn't done that we would never have been able to experience this fun classic.
What about Crackdown, the Sega Arcade and Mega Drive game and the Xbox games. Also, if its written Bros. (with a full stop) it's pronaced 'Brothers' not 'Bros'. The 3DS says this outloud when you start the game.
Finishers and Mega Moves in WWF Raw are two entirely different things. Mega Moves are exaggerated special moves that are even more devastating then the Finishers.
There were two games called Whiplash. One is a racing game, another is... something else that I don't remember. Made by two different companies, totally unrelated.
There were also two video games titled after the Disney film _Lilo & Stitch..._ sort of. _Disney's Lilo & Stitch_ by Digital Eclipse is a 2D side scroller run-and-gun for the Game Boy Advance. A PlayStation and Windows PC 3D platformer by Blitz Games was released under the same name days later, but only for the American PlayStation release. That game's full title is _Disney's Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise,_ but for some reason, Sony Computer Entertainment America had the subtitle removed for the aforementioned specific release, hence the "sort of", even though Disney Interactive published the PC port in all regions including the United States with the full title intact. I don't know why Sony forced the subtitle removal for American PS1 audiences considering both the GBA game of little relation and that _Trouble in Paradise_ was just a basic _Crash Bandicoot_ clone where Lilo Pelekai somehow has voodoo powers, but still, quite odd.
I love the OG Bionic Commando and the ReArmed (series), so I really wanted more from the reboot. Like many games, it could have been a lot better with some more thought and polish.
The original Bionic Commando got a number of home ports. It is one of those games that got two different Commodore 64 versions, one for Europe and one for America. As was often the case with such games, one of them (in this case the European version) was great and the other was crap. So even back then, there were two different games for the same machine with the same name.
@@SorcererLance That's for the western version which was made without Kojima, another version made and directed by Kojima released named Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
I was alway Confused with Cyberia from Sega Saturn with Syberia. After all this Years i tought... WTF?! This have nothing to do with Cybertech and Spaceships. What Shit ist this new Game. Well, the Name sound 100% the same but us written a little different. But Complete different games. But there bouth Point'n Click. First Place is Sonic the Hedgehog for sure. :) Yeaaah i knew it :)
Surprised you didn't include Mortal Kombat 1992 and 2011. Probably could've included that instead of Dante's Inferno since no one's heard of the first one.
What a dumb list. Most of these game are fine, but Bionic Commando and Sonic the Hedgehog? Those were basically reboots, they obviously played differently. In that case, Tomb Raider or even Pong should be in this list as well -_-
Using reboots by the same company is cheating
Is it? What if they are completely different?
@@rubiitoxic same franchise same characters it's cheating

@@coyoteartist @Marc Araujo - The book is better. :)

I was thinking this as well

to be fair a lot of these are reboots so it's understandable.
Surprised he didn’t mention Sonic The Hedgehog master system release, which was a completely different game to the Mega Drive version apart from sharing some level themes
And a better game, IMHO.
Be honest. You created this video just for Prey.
Or Prey 2, if you want to get serious about this.
@@bensonsj98 Or Prey Two if you want to get verbally about it.
A cart racing game with Ru Paul? Sign me the hell up! That sounds awesome!
I'm the biggest Fable fan but Fable 96 looks neat af.
Then there's games like Shadowrun that were completely different on SNES and Genesis
Also on the Sega CD, which is a whole other mess.
@@endymallorn And Xbox 360
12:56 Thanks that you use the full name instead of just the subtitle.
Bust-A-Move (puzzle game) and Bust-A-Move (music game)
-> Puzzle Bobble and Bust-A-Groove
I played the hell out of that mega man 3 game. Had it on a 5.25 inch diskette.
The Bionic Comando entry is like saying Metroid Prime is nothing like the original Metroid game but it's basically a modern update of the first
There are legitimate reasons for most of these:
10 - same IP

The 2 "WWF RAW" games technically aren't titled the same. The original was called "WWF: RAW IS WAR" while the 2002 game was simply called "WWF RAW".
Finishers and Mega Moves in WWF Raw are two entirely different things. Mega Moves are exaggerated special moves that are even more devastating then the Finishers.
Final Fantasy 2 and 3. Gawd, shipping for early FF games is a challenge.
12:26 and only one of them is actually pretty good
So close to finding out the origin of the Millerism! But of course they wouldnt say which WhatCulture video it came from.

0:40 RIP ADAM WEST
There was another “sonic the hedgehog” on sega master system, think it was 1992
Oh, I played Dantes Inferno on the C64! Spoileralert: It wasn't very good in 86 either.
I always have and will forever refer to it as Doom 4. Screw this stupid trend of rebooting a series with the same name.
Agreed 💯
Thank you for being the first ones to not shit on 2009's Bionic Commando - wich i adore. Liked & subscribed.
I sadly never got to play the Portal interactive novel, but I read a book based on the game written by the same guy and it was really good.
That's not what pepto-bismol is for
There were two games called Whiplash. One is a racing game, another is... something else that I don't remember. Made by two different companies, totally unrelated.
Hey you forget Wipeout and WipEout.
