All games and movies that reuse the same name as the very first title in the franchise to make a "fresh start" while spitting on the original.

Any examples off the top of your head?

NFS: Hot Pursuit. HP2 was a perfect game in the arcade racer genre. HP remake doesn't even have bots in multiplayer, meaning you and your buddies won't be chased by cops because no one plays that game and the cops have to be played by humans.

Tomb Raider, Doom, Mortal Kombat for example

Not bad games at all but I just don’t like that it’s claiming the name of something, basically saying it wasn’t good enough.
