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).
This Game Needs a Remake/Re-Release

The old X-Wing and Tie Fighter games. Getting them to run these days is almost too annoying to bother... until you remember how good they are.
I agree with most but I think the two Max Payne's are still very playable by today's standards. They don't look great but MP2 at least has aged pretty well.Matthew94 said:
Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy V, Chrono Trigger, and Xenogears.
Yeah. I have a hard-on for pre-merger Square.

I could very well be mistaken as I am not a huge MGS fan, but didn't MGS get a remake for the Gamecube in the form of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes? If so does that mean you want a remake of a remake?Matthew94 said:
I'll have to agree with geezah on this one and say Final Fantasy 7 as well... There are quite a few games I can name off the top of my head that I would like HD re-releases of, but not too many remakes.
well i think those two toika (think i have spelt that wrong) games; Vampire masquerade and Arcanum would make good remakes, as they are the only older rpg games that i have enjoyed.
also gungrave, i would play the hell out of that

WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2006.
Sadly, that won't happen, because WWE lost most of the talent they had on that game.

Unfortunatly i dont quite remember the name so i'll have to be vague, Star wars: Podracer or something similar. Was an interesting take on the racing genre u race pods (if u hadnt guessed) where u enter tournaments and upgrade ur pod. Had some really good gravity mind fuck race courses and was generally fun xD

Are you serious? Which platforms and when?Matthew94 said:
I've played both Deus Ex 1 and Grim Fandango recently, and I must say, there is NOTHING wrong with them even after a decade and more since they were released. They are still great gaming experiences, even with the outdated graphics(and that's pretty much the only thing that feels outdated about them). Even better is they run without problems on modern rigs (and a lot of old games don't)
What I'd love to see a remake of is Thief 1 and 2. Some current graphics and audio technology, and they would be hits again. I'd even settle for a patch to make them work on modern PCs.
A high resolution patch for Diablo 2, and I swear I'd be all over that game again (until D3 comes along, but since we're on BlizzTime, that might be a while). It's still the best game in it's class despite numerous newer attempts at the genre. Titan Quest, Deathspank, Torchlight, all games that tried to cash in on the absence of a Diablo 3, but none quite managed.
Max Payne 1 would be nice, I can't get it to run on any of the PCs in my house, and it's a veritable timeline here (starting with a Pentium MMX sporting a whopping 200mhz processor, going through the end days of single core, all the way up to my current gaming rig)
I would also like a remake of the Starcraft 1 campaign (I know there are maps for SC2 already with the first Terran and Zerg campaigns, and they are very well done, but I want the whole thing). I've tried playing it after finishing SC2's campaign, just for the story, but man was the gameplay horribly outdated after playing 2. Just the pathfinding made me want to eat my mouse, and that's not even the worst of it.
