Wing Commander > Starlancer That's a bit of a stretch, though, since Starlancer was done primarily by Warthog, who had done Privateer 2 earlier as an internal EA team in the UK, but had nothing to do with any of the classic "military campaign"-style Wing Commander games. Chris Roberts was "only" executive producer. Also Privateer and Freelancer with the same relationship. That is a good fit, on the other hand.

Another reverse example (i.e., the new game gained a brand) would be Arx Fatalis > Dark Messiah of Might & Magic
also quite console-ized and dumbed down in the process.

From what I've read before, AF2 just never happened. There's a Polygon article that very confusing says both that they were totally separate and AF2 becoming DM a few paragraphs later, but I don't think that's what actually happened.

Apparently, Rare based Snake Rattle 'n Roll on their prior NES port of Marble Madness, which seems so obvious in hindsight I can't believe I didn't realize this sooner.

Green Beret (C64) > Vindicator
Some sources actually refer to it as "Green Beret II", though it's really a clone of Contra anyway.
