I think I'd like the idea of a new gex game more if there was certain acknowlegement of the cheesy dated one-liners from the 90s intersparced with some clumsy current refferences, recognizing just how silly it was to ever take it as something "cool". I don't there's any serious way for a modernized gex to work retaining the quips in a full-on unironic fashion unless they absolutely doubled down on the whole thing to a ridiculous degree, with better writing of course.

Actually, now I don't want a Gex 4.
