This Game Needs a Remake/Re-Release

[EvilPicnic]

In addition to all the others posted above:

Red Baron 2!


I also think that game developers(or some other body) should generally consider longevity and the archival of their games for future audiences prior to release. I say this as someone playing through Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) on xbl right now and thoroughly enjoying it as a game. Having this sort of thing just done as standard would eliminate the call for these threads...

So I'll be the first to call Final Fantasy 7 then, yeah?

Seconded.

Also Legend of Dragoon, or even better, a sequel!

Yes to both. I still regret never actually buying a copy of dragoon.

Also, how about the first three crash bandicoots remade in todays graphics as one box set. Same goes for spyro. Yes please.

I'd love to see GTA San Andreas and Vice City remade in HD sometime in the next few years.

Timespiltters and Crash Bandicoot (ps1 series) both series i would physically get off my fat butt and run to the store if they remade them and if they were out i will sleep in the store until they arrive.

Final Fantasy 8, the best final fantasy. YEAH I SAID IT. DEAL WITH IT!!!

 

[Demonicdan]

Pokemon Snap, I love that game so much.

Not to disrespect the game, but FF7 should not be remade. Next gen graphics, controls, and new content would be nice to see with an RPG that great, but think about Square Enix. Look at Final Fantasy 13. Look at Final Fantasy 14. They were an excellent team of developers, but they have lost it. I loved Final Fantasy, but after 20 years, the series needs to end.

On the more positive side, I would like to see a newer iteration of the classic Fallout games. I hold up Fallout 2 as one of the best RPGs out there, even by today's standards. As clever, entertaining, and well balanced as it was, so much was not there. Many sidequests, characters, and cool ideas can be found in the game files, but the game was so rushed that Black Isle couldn't implement a lot more content into the already huge game. If Obsidian (the dev team founded by Black Isle refugees) could remake it with their a new spin on their old ideas using the fancy new engine from Fallout 3, New Vegas, etc., I would buy the hell out of it. It probably won't happen, as Obsidian said New Vegas already contained a lot of elements from their old games. And there's the whole Interplay vs. Bethesda lawsuit...

Sadly, my nostalgia will go unfulfilled.

In this topic we post titles of old games that (in our opinion) need to be re-released. Classic favorites that just kinda died off in the last decade or so that we never see anymore. I'll start us off I guess with Grim Fandango. Please, Tim Schafer, have the game remade for XBox Live Arcade and Steam or something, I miss the film-noir adventure game that we never see anymore (The closest thing I could find to this was Hotel Dusk: Room 215 on the DS).

Just thought I'd let you know, Hotel Dusk has a sequel called The Last Window, if you already know sorry for wasting your time.


OT: Snatcher needs a re-release cause a lot of people haven't played that game. And I think that what with Deus Ex: Human Revolution being a prequel, I think Deus Ex and Invisible War should get HD remakes

 

[zileas7]

Can't believe I didn't think of this earlier, but how about a remake/completion of Knights of the Old Republic 2?

 

[Mute52]

SPyro: Ripto's Rage fully remastered, f yeah

Oh? First I've heard of that! I'm looking into that now!

The original Ratchet and Clank. Top 3 favorite games of all time for me. I love that game with such a passion, its crazy.

Psychonoughts..Im dissapointed that it doesnt seem to be on the playstation store

also is the PS3 backwards compatible?

 

[SeeIn2D]

The original PS3 was backwards compatible. I think that all PS3s that are not slim are backwards compatible but don't take my word for it, I'm not quite sure. I just know that the first ones they released were. I'd like to think they took out the backwards compatibility of the PS3 to make it slim because the drive that reads PS2/PS1 games took up space but sadly thats probably not true :/. I'm sure they just decided to remove that capability with the hopes that there was still some minute amount of money still to be made on the PS2 market. Anyway this isn't a rant thread so I won't rant haha.

But long story short the original fat PS3 is backwards compatible, and I think all models of that are, however none of the PS3 slim models are, and as far as I know there is no way to make them backwards compatible.

ah...I happen to own a PS3 slim (though it didnt seem very "slim" when I took it out of the box) eh no problem I guess...alot of good games are getting HD releases anyway

thanks for the info

As Chrono Trigger already has a DS re-release, Secret of Mana and/or Illusion of Gaia. I miss my childhood

It was released in Japan and EU only so if you're american or canadian or something else then you may have a hard time finding it.

Point and Click is far from dead though, Ace Attorney is an amazing comedy detective/lawyer series that I'd wholeheartedly recommend, if you enjoy Hotel Dusk you may enjoy Cing's other game Another Code (I can't remember what it's called in US), it's a little short but it's still a good game. Not to mention that the Sam and Max games are still going strong, they have two games on xbox and one on ps3.

I'd even stretch to say Heavy Rain is a part of the same genre...only evolved for a new generation. If you're into that stuff you can get some great use from your DS

I know it is supposed to be in the process of being remade but Mechwarrior and Mechcommander.

Completely in agreement with this. I'm a big fan of the Mechwarrior/Battletech games and story universe. (not the "I own everything related to it ever" kind. just the grew up with it kind.) I loved the MechWarrior games. Hell, MechWarrior2 was the primary thing that got me into PC gaming. I even still play MechCommander 2 once in a while, so seeing a remake of that would be pretty amazing too.

However, I fear the MechWarrior reboot project may have died. Which is a shame. The ideas and game-play concepts the developer had in mind sounded fantastic.

The Broken Sword series should get remakes, they were great point and click adventure games, and we aren't seen any of those these days. (the ones made for wii and ds don't count)
