Concept »
Video games developed in Japan but based on Western IPs.
A follow-up to a game or movie that takes place before the events of the previous installment or installments.
A broad spectrum of games can be described as remakes, from straightforward graphical overhauls to extensive revision of gameplay and story elements. In the most basic sense, a remake keeps the original's core gameplay and plot but makes significant changes to peripheral aspects.
When a franchise tries to start over by releasing a game with the same title as the first game in the series, or the name of the series in general.
A sequel (also called a follow-up) is a game that carries forward the gameplay concepts, and often the story, of a previous game to which it is officially linked.
The common use of "Zero" or "0" at the end of a game's title to emphasize it as a precursor to the rest of the series. Similarly, some series will title a prequel "Origins" instead to denote it as the earliest point in the story.
Video games based on Japanese IP's that were developed by Western studios.
