Games that need a HD remake.

[Blaster395]

Myst II and Myst III (Myst I already had a remake)
Change the game from looking at pictures to full 3D, and you have the potential for some of the greatest games ever.

In fact, there are many old games where the graphics and technological limitations made them worse that they would be if remade properly today.

And remake Daggerfall, this is a must.

Halo 2. The greatest multiplayer shooter ever.

unreal tournament would like to have a word with you.

Does it want to talk about how it isn't as good as Halo 2? I should explain to him that he shouldn't feel bad, no game is as good as Halo 2 was.

 

[Delock]

Oh yes, and Legend of Dragoon.

hrmmm...ooh! Legend of Dragoon!

you know what would be awesome? xenosaga trilogy on one blu-ray disc. tell me that isnt the best idea ever.

Honestly, at this point, I want a Playstation trilogy HD release: Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX in a box set. Such great settings, such memorable characters, such unforgettable gameplay. Mmmmmm. . .

All of you are ninjas. I hope you are proud of this fact.

Guess I'll go with Parasite Eve 1&2 (with different controls on 2), Tales of Symphonia and the Abyss, the original Kingdom Hearts, SW: Republic Commando, and the Zelda games for the gameboy (both oracles and link's awakening. I'm probably in a minority that likes 2D zelda over the 3d counterparts).

- Clive Barker's Undying
- American McGee's Alice
- I'm personally surprised that System Shock 1 & 2 haven't been re-released yet in some kind of HD collection. I thought Bioshock would have brought interest back to the series.
- Xenogears
- Obscure 1 and 2. The series deserves more respect but is completely neglected :'(
- Skies of Arcadia
- Baten Kaitos
- Resident Evil 2
- Nights into Dreams
- Even though I can all ready picture this at some point in the future, the Kingdom Hearts series as an HD collection.
- Silent Hill
- I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream
- Harvester
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (seriously, it had two sequels planned that were lost because the company went bankrupt)
- Galerians. On an HD console, the game could look beautiful and maybe be recognized for how good it is.
- Grim Fandango

Legacy of Kain series. My god the Legacy of Kain series...all of them.

And possibly Parasite Eve. I really enjoyed that game and the ranged turn based combat wsa pretty sweet.

And remake Daggerfall, this is a must.

I don't know how feasible they would be given their use of live action, but I still think the Myst series includes the deepest storytelling in the gaming medium, especially from a thematic standpoint. The puzzles are probably too hard for the series to ever to have widespread appeal though, so I doubt a reboot could even be considered. I'm glad to see that someone on the Escapist is at least aware of their existence though.

As for Daggerfall, there is work on updating it to be more mod-friendly and feature-complete, though from a graphical standpoint it is still far from modern. Once again, the ambitious nature of the game makes having super-HD graphics an impossibility. Still looks like an amazing update; I just hope that this project's creator can stick with it.

Your taste is similar to mine; therefore, it is great. Good job =P

 

[RatRace123]

KotOR most definitely
Spider-Man 2
There needs to be a Ratchet and Clank PS3 collection
And a Jak and Daxter one
Bomberman Hero, some people may not remember this one, but I freakin' loved it, one of my favorite N64 games.
And speaking of that, it doesn't even need to be HD, but damn it! Where the hell is the virtual console re-release of Donkey Kong 64?! DK Countries 1-3 were re-released.

 

[Jekken6]

Arcanum. That would an amazing HD game, only if the core gameplay was reworked to a more Fallout 3/Skyrim (what we've seen so far) style.

 

[moose_man]

KOTOR: I'd prefer KOTOR3.
Hald Life 1: See ^
OT: Ultima. I never got a chance to play.

 

[Vigormortis]

There's so many that could be remade (and better) by using today's tech and engines. So many in fact I'll just list a handful of some I'd most want to see "HD-afied".

Homeworld
Half-Life
Mech Commander 2
Mech Warrior 2
Mech Assault
Banjo Kazooie
Lode Runner Returns ('95)

half life 1

http://www.blackmesasource.com/ But don't expect it to come out too soon it has only been in dev for almost 7 years

Except that the team making it has changed so much about the game it's not even really going to be anything like Half-Life. They're using not one track from the original soundtrack. Altering weapons. Added new types of enemies. Changing level layouts. Adding and even removing entire map sections. They're even adding characters and changing the story.

Basically...it's not Half-Life HD. (and no, I don't consider much of what they're changing to be "improvements")

 

[mireko]

Vib Ribbon
Ultima series
System Shock 2 (they don't need to change much, just MAKE IT WORK ON MY GPU)
Shin Megami Tensei
KotOR

Counter Strike would like to have a word with you.

Red Dead Redemption would like to have a word with you.

Seriously? You're like the only person on the planet that thinks RDR has the best MP. Besides, it's a third person shooter. And you must be 12 or something in order to conceive such a thought about RDR.

 

[Ladette]

KotOR, although i'd rather have a sequal.
Jade Empire in HD would look amazing, but i'd still rather have a sequal.
Silent Hill 2, with improved lighting and fog effects it could be even scarier.
Gladius with better graphics and animations would be awesome.

 

[thegrimfandango]

Planescape: Torment with all of the cut content and certain faction storylines (like the superweapon you had the godsmen commission) fleshed out.

Oh God, THIS.

 

[cthulhumythos]

Which games need to be remade with or without additional goodies that don't detract from the original games?

Halo CE
Psychonauts
Kotor

I would put republic commando on the list but I personally want a sequel.

Also I hate this stupid capthca crap

i just want a resolution with sev.


and a majora's mask hd remake.

and an hd f-zero game.

 

[icame]

Kotor, but thats already been said. Lets go with...Thief 1 & 2

You must be joking.

 

[Bobbity]

I all for:
Baldur's Gate
Neverwinter Nights
Ico[footnote]Which is, incidentally, already being re-released, alongside Shadow of the Colossus [/footnote]
Halo: Combat Evolved
Knights of the Old Republic
Jade Empire
Morrowind[footnote]Although I'd only buy it if the gameplay was updated as well. I mean swinging my sword at another chap, then having whether or not it'll hit decided by stats? That's fine in a third person game, but sucks for first person.[/footnote]

Yes, that's right. I am a massive Bioware whore.

You genius. As much as I love Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past was just...better. And the Oracles! It's been so long since I've played those.
