UK, August 12, 2009 - Classic gaming franchises such as Populous and Road Rash could be returning to the current generation of consoles, with EA filing new trademarks for the games as well as expressing an interest in reviving old franchises. Superannuation has picked up new trademark registrations for Populous, Theme Park, Wing Commander and Road Rash. The discovery comes shortly after EA Bright Light Studio boss Harvey Elliot, a veteran of Theme Park and Populous developer Bullfrog, didn't rule out the possibility of the classic games returning in some form. "I think there's an opportunity to bring those back in the future," he told Kikizo, "but only if it's right for the time and not just a 'remake' or something. We'd need to do it in a way that's true to the original values, but would still make a great game today." It won't be the only Bullfrog game to be put through the remake machine – talented developer Starbreeze is currently lined up to revive the revered Syndicate brand in the near future. Which EA franchise would you most like to see return? Air your desires in the comments section down beneath.

Reviving the syndicate games! Now THAT! would be something. If the games that we loved in the early to mid 90s come back (and be decent) the future might not be as depressing as i had thought only a couploe minutes ago before i read this article
