8 Obscure Game Characters We Want Brought Back

Special thanks to Fappy for starting the thread! Don’t see your favorite? Tell us what it is in the comments! Glitch (Metal Arms: Glitch in the System) First mentioned by: Elfgore Glitch is a droid who gets reactivated by rebels at the beginning of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Although his memory has been erased, once he’s brought up to date on the rebellion, he joins in. Not only does he help evacuate Droid Town and save many droids from deactivation, he also takes out the evil General Corrosive, and is hailed as a hero. Unfortunately, it’s not likely we’ll see a comeback. The company behind the game, Swingin’ Ape Studios, was purchased by Blizzard in 2005 and the sequel was put on hold. I.E. Keats is a journalist from a magazine called Unknown Realms. In Folklore, Keats is lured to the town of Doolin by a phone call from a woman who says that there are Faerys trying to kill her. When he arrives in Doolin, he meets a young woman named Ellen. After hearing strange voices in the night, Keats and Ellen find themselves in the Netherworld – the realm of the dead. Keats acquires the ability to transform himself into another type of creature, gaining new abilities and attacks. Although he acts as a guardian for Ellen, he seems to not care for her much in the context of the story. Although a sequel was pitched to Sony (and planned for the PSP), poor sales of the original game led to the idea not being approved. You’ll encounter Steven Heck in the course of a mission in Alpha Protocol. Although he seems to be involved in the world of espionage, he doesn’t appear to be affiliated with any professional intelligence organization, although he claims to be part of a super-secret branch of the CIA. He claims to use a combat technique he calls “liquid terror,” and though almost no one has even seen him work, there is some evidence that he’s been operational. Dates of his supposed operations correspond with a Vatican Intelligence agent being found with his airway obstructed by 17 communion wafers. Heck’s just a little bit crazy, but that’s what makes his character awesome. Gabe Logan is one of the main characters in the Syphon Filter franchise. After serving as Director of the International Presidential Consulting Agency (IPCA) and as a member of the Agency, he helped found a group of agents that are outside US government surveillance. Best known for stopping the Syphon Filter Conspiracy, Logan is a combat specialist feared by all his enemies. His last appearance came in 2006, in Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for the PSP. Logan was one of the stalwarts of the early PlaySation games, and it would be great to see him back in action in the current generation.
