Best PS1 game that should be remade

[Urgh76]

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.

I would've said this if all my faith wasn't already put in the fact that they'd royally screw it up...... AGAIN

Yeah, the ONLY way a Spyro remake would be good is if the rights were given back to Insomniac. But Sony will probably never do that, and Insomniac is on to other things...and there's no promise it would be a great game if Insomniac did get the rights back.

As for Crash and Ape Escape...I only ever played the originals. The others looked horrible.

So...yeah.

Crash 2 and 3 were actually pretty great, but the new Ape Escapes were a bit......... yeah.....

Final Fantasy 7, dragon quest 7, chrono cross, or maybe a non square/enix game. I'm trying to remember all the games from ps1 but most of the ones that where great where replaceable to an extent. Rpg's... it just seems you can't ever recapture the perfect story or interactions.

I mean the first call of duty had a thrill to how new it felt but you can't really re-capture that with a remake.

 

[UmbraWitchy]

You're kidding, right? Valkyrie fucking Profile. End of story.

FUCKING YES FUCK FUCK FUCK YES.

They need to NOT do it the way they did Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, though. The open movement battle system and the AP system DO NOT GO TOGETHER. Valkyrie Profile needs a desperate remake on the PS3, I don't care if it takes longer than Duke Nukem, it's that fucking good of a game. Also, obligatory Legend of Dragoon. That game was awesome.

Hmmm no Front Mission 3 love?
Parasite Eve 2
I'll go for Alundra (different to all the "please remake FF 7,8,9 people )
+1 Syphon Filter - bloody loved that game
Driver (none of these crappy sequels just a pure remake of the first)
+1 Grandia
+1 million Colony Wars
G Police


To please some of you

Oddworld Abes Odysee/Exodus are getting HD remakes this year
As has Tomb Raider (original - cant remember who asked for it)

PS
Still bitter no one has mentioned Front Mission 3

Army men 3D. pwn

Legend of Dragoon. Spent countless hours on that game. The music, the atmosphere, the characters, everything was superb. It was a nice alternative to the Final Fantasy's of the time.

 

[silverdragon9]

Metal Gear Solid
Silent Hill
...I'm sure there is more but I can't remember what games I had back then.

metal gear solid has been remade its called the twin snakes

 

[Riddle78]

I'd mark for a Legend of Dragoon remake. Hell, I was planning on firing it up again tomorrow.

Quoted. For. Ultimate. Truth. Of. Ultimate. Destiny.

Seriously. The Legend of Dragoon is one of the most underrated games of all time,as it was released during the dying days of the system. And do you know what a REAL kick in the balls is? It IS available on the PSN...But only in Japan. Greedy bastards...

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I want Parasite Eve I and II remade. Very, very good games that deserve another lifetime, though the third birthday brought that.

And I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dino Crisis.

 

[Jfswift]

Sony kills me, they sit on two of the biggest franchies ever, Legend of Dragoon (I think it's their ip anyway) and Jet Moto 2 which I believe Polyphony made.

Here's a video to one of the coolest games ever made (I realize the graphics are dated but the music is still fun)

 

[StarTroop]

Jet Moto 2, any Spyro or Crash Bandicoot game and Pandemonium.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Metal Gear Solid, even though it was remade for the Gamecube. But I'm talking an all out PS3 update with better controls and everything. In fact, I'd like a massive HD remake of the first 3 MGS games, but that's probably not going to happen. Either way, 2 & 3 are still some of the best looking games on the PS2.

 

[ValentineUK]

I would have to say that a remake of Legend of Dragoon or Parasite Eve would be absolutely awesome. I've spent many hours on both of those games and I would gladly buy them again.

 

[Volothos]

That is all

 

[Hectix777]

Megaman Legends 1&2, Resident Evil, Ape Escape, Suikoden I&II(voice acting optional as long as the 3D ain't too dodgy).

 

[Austin Howe]

FUCKING. BUSHIDO. BLADE.

THIS.

Well, you know what I want to say, but I would also say that VIII and IX should be redone as well. In many regards they were either equal or better.
