A branding project doesn’t require that all things come under the same name or subtitle though. It’s an easy way to identify similar items, but it isn’t a requirement for a successful brand.
Consider this: every Oddworld game has the “Oddworld:” prefix in front of its name. Every Quintology entry has “Oddysee” in its name. And (assuming an AE remake comes to pass) every remake of an Oddworld game would already be reusing the original title with a new prefix attached.
In that case then, do people really need to have the same subtitle attached to realise that “Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee: Shiny New Subtitle” and “Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus: Shiny New Subtitle” are both remakes of classic games and are part of the same set?
