Yep, I'm aware of the XL Engine. I'm more excited about the Unity version, though. It's open source, so fans don't have to worry about the creator pulling the plug on the project for whatever reason.Glongpre said:

Already know all about Black Mesa: Source.Stewie Plisken said:
It's a fine fan interpretation of the old game but it just doesn't...feel like the old game. It doesn't play, look, or sound like an updated version of Half-Life. It feels very much like what it is: A fan tribute. There's simply too many changes to the level design, gameplay, soundtrack, etc, to have it feel like anything other than an amateur tribute.
I suppose certain aspects of each have not aged well. I'll grant that. [footnote]I think Mech 3 and 4, other than a few niggles with UI, controls, etc, actually hold up a lot better than most other games from their respective eras.[/footnote] But when I was talking of remakes for the old games I meant more than just a basic graphical facelift. I also presumed some updating to a few of the other aspects of the games.AccursedTheory said:
Though, I would argue that Mechcommander 2 holds up surprisingly well. It's still very playable, even by todays standards.
Well...we are getting Battletech [http://www.battletechgame.com/]. So at least it's something.
Xenogears with all the content that didn't make it in and with a fixed translation. Or Xenosaga with 3 more sequels after the 3rd game as it was intended.
Demons Souls with the lost content and updated visuals.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 on console and with that engine they used for the first game.

Let's keep this open, shall we. Yes, lots of the games in the past gen have graphics that still are acceptable today and a remake in new consoles, compared to older games, would be near to pointless in the graphics department (and those games and its consoles are still easy to acquire). But others aren't the case (and people usually like to see their favorite games look better, as long as they don't get worse as a whole).infohippie said:
PS: Skyrim, looking like shit? LOL. I never get tired of that hyperbole.
Oh, I know we're getting Battletech. I threw an embarrassing amount of money at Battletech.Vigormortis said:
A lot of games from the past decade also AREN'T acceptable looking today and were borderline even when they were released. The last generation of consoles went on for years longer than they should have, which in turn hobbled multiplatform titles. That's why I say vanilla Skyrim looked pretty poor when it was released, it had to fit within the limitations of consoles that were already long past their use by date. Fortunately modders fixed that on PC, but that's how it should have looked from the start.CaitSeith said:
Battletech? *sigh* That's okay I guess, but damnit, when are we going to get a new Mechwarrior game? I've been waiting for that since MW4. And no, MWO does not count since it's PvP arena shit without a storyline and single player campaign.AccursedTheory said:
final fantasy 6, come on by far the best in the series and yet has never be remade. hell the sound track doesn't even need to be changed cause the composer took a symphony performance and shrunk it to 32 bit.
other then that would really like not having to switch back to my 360 every time I want to play the mass effect trilogy.

New Mechwarrior? Never. Microsoft has given PGI an exclusive video game deal. And while PGI is more then willing to give HBS a piece of the pie, they'll never let go of the Mechwarrior series 'proper.' A new Mechwarrior game will almost certainly have to come with a Mulitplayer component, which would kill the money train that is MW:O. Not including a multiplayer component in a new single player game would lead to mass revolt, poisoning the MW:O well forever.infohippie said:
So, they'll never let it happen. They'll talk about it every one in a while, but it's just talk. Single player Mechwarrior is dead, unless MW:O dies. Then we just have to wait another decade and pray.
Also, correction - MW:O actually does have a storyline. It's the standard one, only players are allowed to influence it, so they have to wipe it periodically because, surprise surprise, Tukayyid turns into a shit show when you let players and factions loose.

don't know if either of you saw this, but a while back this dev/group of people are "remaking" kotorAccursedTheory said:
http://www.apeirongame.com/
as someone who has played the games for *years*, some of the environments are almost unrecognizable for how much they're changing them, whether that is for good or bad, idk, but it's something at the very least.
if this project *actually* follows through will be a whole other story as well, but at the very least it'll be pretty. (compared to 2001 graphics)
OT: kotor 1 and 2 obligatory reference. I would also mention plenty of other 90's rpg type games, but otherwise I'd highly appreciate if they took the new battlefront graphics with the HD mod [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGyaR2sSBkA] and remade republic commando...and this time finish the damn game, don't leave that cliffhanger ending.
*drools*
Well, I am hoping like mad that MWO DOES die, because it's a steaming pile of shit. I guess I'll have to redouble my black chicken sacrifices at midnight and add a goat or two.AccursedTheory said:
Max Payne 1 & 2.
Noone Lives Forever 1 & 2.
That's probably about it. I generally look forward rather than back, but I loved these games so much that I'd love to have them re-done on modern engines.

That would be cool, but I thought you would've said the original Deus Ex, which would be my first pick. With refined mechanics, AI and of course visuals it would probably still wipe the floor with HR and MD.
