Add This Small Suggestion to Rest In Peace Mode

Hello!
This is my first post here. I would love to get a warm welcome here but I didn't make this account just for that. I'm here to give a small, yet impactful suggestion for the upcoming Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted.

I have been a fan of the series since 2014; basically during Garden Warfare's era. It's great that the franchise is still alive and that PopCap has managed to shift away and take a break from Plants vs. Zombies 3's development hell to focus on this. Although I feel like Replanted needs more content to become the definitive way to soil our plants (like the forgotten minigames from Nintendo DS, iPad, etc) other than it being just a PC version of the consoles port with a few new stuff. One of the suggestions I had in my brain (Not a pun by the way) is the use of the zombie hand in Rest In Peace mode.

See, in the original/Game of the Year, and Xbox 360/Playstation 3 versions of PVZ, the player is always greeted with the game over music, a zombie hand, and the infamous laugh when they start the game for the first time or continue playing. It's one of the small neat stuff that made the game more awesome despite giving jumpscares to some young people back then.

Here's a video showing it. This is from the PC version:

I was SO disappointed when the mobile version didn't have it and instead got replaced with a boring, emotionless Zombie groan. No laugh. No hand and no music. Just a short sound and that's it (at least the Playstation Vita had the hand and the laugh).

That's why I want to ask the developers behind Replanted to make the laugh, the hand and the music return whenever you start a level with Rest In Peace enabled. It will give a sense that the Zombies are now more threatening and they REALLY want to eat your brains. Think of it as a Zombie apocolypse and that you and Crazy Dave are the last stand to save humanity. Plus Rest In Peace mode suits it a lot as it's the hardcore version of Adventure Mode as it will just make the players know that the Undead are taking Dr. Zomboss' orders seriously.

I would really appreciate it if they do it. Please, let Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted be the game that starts reviving the franchise by listening to PVZ's fans that wants the game to return to its golden roots, something some gaming companies failed to do with their games.

You choose PopCap; you listen to the fans and by doing that you will return to be the juggernaut you used to be back then, or refuse doing so and the game would be not quite what people expected.

Sincerly,
yamoditheblox (the Zombies told me to write this for them)

    That and Zombatar are necessary.
    I’m not sure if the DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNNNNN HAUGHUGAHAUAHAHAHG zombie hand thing could be there because it was replaced with a Vs/Co-Op mode gravestone. Though they could always just move that to the adventure part of the menu with Bonus Levels, Rip Mode, and Cloudy Day.

    That's what I actually meant for Adventure Plus+, except that it's only for RIP Mode. Maybe Cloudy Day too but we have to see more of it.

    Zombatar should return too, it was really cool. if they will implement DLC skins for Zombies then I think a return for Zombatar will be perfect for them to make you change skins for all types of zombies, not just Flag Zombie like in GOTY version (I haven't fully played it unfortunately so I don't know if it was only for Flag Zombie). if you don't have DLCs then you could use the base accessories from GOTY + new ones for them.

    Thanks for liking the topic by the way, I really appreciate it! :) I just hope the fans urge PopCap to add most suggestions (like this and other requested ones) to the game.

  • What do you mean?
    Was there a suggestion similar to this before I made this post?

    Oh, I completely forgot RIP mode was on that section of the menu despite watching every singing replanted youtube video that appears in my recommended. 
    What else is the like button for?
    Anything for replanted to really be the pvz1 port.

  • Yeah. I don't mind the Android/IPhone design they're using right now for the main menu but they have to make the game have the charm, replayabillity of the PC/consoles version.

  • Oh wow! Didn't realise that this topic reached 100 viewz!

    Thank you guys for having a time to read this. I really appreciate it. Imagine if this gets the attention of PopCap employees. Why do I say that? Because I'm CRAAAZY!!!!!

    I am looking forward for Replanted to be great.
