Yea, I agree on FFVI along with Legend of Dragoon for sure. I think it would be awesome to play FFVII with updated graphics and such, but as long as they don't change anything story-wise.
I really was NOT expecting anyone to call upon Jade Cocoon but FUCK YEA!
Also, a sequel to The Unholy War would be awesome.
Other than that, Legend of Legaia.

Final Fantasy VIII.
Remake it with HD graphics, update the story, fix some of the plot discrepancies, finally admit that Rinoa is Ultimecia and make the ending reflect that, don't fall down the pithole of Advent Children's overexaggurating characters, and make sure David Borreanz is no where near it, maybe no voices at all save for effects, etc.
This, IMO, is what would be the best remake of any PS1 game, as it would actually improve people's view of a game that I like but others hate

I know what you mean, but I think I rather be offended by a remake than have my favorite game be forgotten forever. I call this the Transformers syndrome...damm you Micheal Bay!
Also, I freakin' LOVE Future Cop: LAPD!!! I totally forgot about that game. Yes it most definitely needs a remake.

I definitely second that!
Also, I'm not sure if games that have sequels or are already remade on the PS2 count. Seems to me that they already had a second chance and they either blew it or its just too soon to be successful. [few exceptions of course]
Duke Nukem: Time to Kill
It would compliment Duke Nukem Forever when it finaly comes out in 2015, due to all the delays i see coming!

As for blood omen, I hope your not implying that it needs something other than a top down perspective, are you?
Because that would just be silly.
Well, some opinion is just fact! Welcome to the internet boy - XcoreX up in this thread - ice ice baby, hardcore.moretimethansense said:*GASP!*

OT:
Seeing as how I've had WAY more fun with Blood Omen 2 and the other Legacy of Kain games that were in 3rd Person - I'd say, at least for this series, YES.
I love some isometric games, like Fallout, but some series get better - not worse - *cough* FO3 *cough* when switching to a different 'camera angle'.
There's that word agian, isometric means from above at an angle, BO is simply from a top down perspective, sorry for being pedantic but the truth must be known!tanis1lionheart said:Well, some opinion is just fact!

And I didn't much care for BO2 (or Defiance for that matter), I'll give you that Soul Reaver damn sure needs a Third person perspective, but it'd just be weird for Blood Omen.
Though I guess that comes down to opinion again, I just know I'd personally hate it, it'd be like replacing Tony Jay with Steve Blum, it just wouldn't feel right.
On the issue of NOSTALGIA:
I understand that a lot of these games are precious in all of our childhood memories but to reiterate what I call the Transformers syndrome, wouldn't you want someone to try and remake/reboot the series and fail rather than have your game completely forgotten by nearly everyone. At least you'll have something to ***** at (We could be those old crazy dudes who keep saying that everything was better back in the day). I F-ing HATE the new Transformers series but at least it brought the spirit of Transformers back to the table for everyone to enjoy/discuss.
Like everyone I do not condone the triple-A desecrating of our most valued games but I really think that if it was made by someone who truly respects and loves the series then I believe that there is a small chance for a successful translation to next-gen consoles. Maybe I'll start a new thread on how YOU can remake your favorite game IF YOU HAD TO.
P.S. Also, I think it's also better to pay homage to a series than to blatantly rip-off. Looking at you God of War clones!
P.P.S. FFVII is a GREAT game but I would have to agree with mireko that old graphics can be very distracting when playing old games (bad translation can also be an issue). Would you truly enjoy a 50s movie nowadays and not get distracted by the old cinematography?

I can't be the only one thinking that remakes are usually not worth it...Been my experience that when a game gets a remake, it usually ends up being horrible or nothing like the original to the point where everyone goes back to the old game...
But if I HAD to choose...I'd say the ORIGINAL Spyro game. The one Insomniac made, not any of the ones that came out on the PS2. They do not count. And really, just the original. I like the other two Insomniac made just fine, but I've wasted sooooo many hours on the original, it's not even funny.
Other than that...Crash...or Ape Escape. Never owned either, but I always had an awesome time playing when I got the chance.
