This Game Needs a Remake/Re-Release
- Thread starter Revolution -X-
- Start date
Now that my xbox has screwed me over and refuses to play Battlefront 2, that please! Or that sequel that Pandemic were oft rumoured to be working on before they sort of stopped having money.
Final Fantasy VII would be nice, yes.MightyMole said: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.
Also yes, MGS was remade. And I found it better than the Playstation version. I could actually SEE facial expressions!
Tribes 2.
No 'upgrades', no 'enhancements' like the crap Nintendo pulled with Mario 64 DS, just upgrade the graphics and FPS rate a bit and re-release it. Maybe add some extra maps and singleplayer stuff, but no messing with the content from the original.

Spyro the Dragon.
I recon a remake of that game with extended levels and an extra world after gnasty gnork would be epic.
Ps: it would HAVE to be made by insomniac... or me =P

Seconded, especially on FF IX.TLS14 said:
Giving ol' Freya and Vivi an HD make-over would be pure bliss. These days, we simply don't have enough games with cities built in giant trees, castles that are upside down and flying zombie whales.
Also, if a Xenogears remake would ever happen, the game might finally get a European release.
However, I don't really agree with Chrono Trigger and FF V, since both of them already got a re-release on the DS not all that long ago.
Pathologic.
Never herd of it? Yeah, I thought so. It's an FPP adventure game with shooter elements with a great story (or rather 3 stories, as you have three playable characters, each own with their one goals, allies, enemies etc.). Also it's a very tense fight for survival in a plague ridden town, and it's open world (well, town) so much, to the point that you can MISS vital plot points, if you won't be on time to witness them.
Sounds awesome? Yeah, too bad the graphics are shit, the music is shit, the animations are horrible, and shooting is even worse. And since the game is from 2005 (so after games like Far Cry or HL2), there's absolutely no excuse for it. I want a proper HD remix with gameplay elements done by a competent studio but with the plot and game structure UNCHANGED.
The man can dream, eh?

Arcanum, that game is ripe for a modern remake. I think it would work well with the Skyrim engine or by Bioware.
The world is really detailed and deep and I think it's about time we had a AAA steampunk game.
It would be awesome and I think it would do really well considering it's fan base.
'No mutants allowed' would probably implode if Bethesda got the license though rofl.
Toejam and Earl is also one that is discussed my me and my friend often. Last I heard it got turned down for a DS remake though.

I think Every TimeSplitters game needs an HD Remake. The first one could easily be released on XBLA. The 3rd one is easily the one that deserves most attention. Also, Silent Hill: SHattered Memories. It still puzzles me why they didn?t release it on Xbox 360 and PS3.
I'm down with that idea. Also Rock and Roll Racing, and Kid Chameleon. Only make Kid Chameleon less stupidly hard.TLS14 said:
crash bandicoot 3: warped. seriously, that is a godly game. they can throw in the first 2 as well and bundle it together as one game. but only if it's done by naughty dog. the new crash games are just plain awful. crash of the titans? mind over mutant? seriously?
Keep in mind the difference between a remake and a re-release. The former makes significant (i.e. non-cosmetic) changes, and is good for taking a concept/story/theme from an old game and using it in a different way. The latter takes an old game and makes it playable on a new platform, which is useful for making "out of print" games available for new audiences.
So to take some of the games mentioned already, that I'd like to see: Re-releases:Metal Gear Solid needs a re-release, as it is hard to get hold of PS1 games. Deus Ex is pretty much fine, as you can still buy that. Grim Fandango, on the other hand, is nearly impossible to get hold of.
Re-makes: classic FPSs that were made before twin analogue sticks/ mouse & WASD became the norm. Doom, Goldeneye, &c. Resident Evil and Dino Crisis could do with a remake, by taking the controls and camera from Resident Evil 4, but keeping the survival horror rather than action horror feel.

FFV didn't. Only III and IV. I'm hoping the re-release all of the classics in 3D, tbh.Arqus_Zed said:
BOLD: Wait...you guys overseas don't have Xenogears!? What kind of a world do you live in!? I suppose you could just import, but does that work with the PS1? I always thought it was region locked.
EDIT: Though, to be fair, Europe got Vagrant Story on the PSN before North America, and I was pretty pissed about that. I finally got that game and I wasn't able to put it down for about a month. It's amazing.
NO! IF YOU PEOPLE ALL START TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD JUST BUY REMAKES THEN THAT IS ALL THE TRIPLE A INDUSTRY WILL GIVE YOU!
Just effing play those games on your old consoles! >.<

Jak 1-3 could really benefit from an HD remake. The environments were very pretty even on the PS2, and it's a perfect excuse to get another platformer to the PS3. My salivary glands will be waiting, Naughty Dog. Maybe toss in Jak X if you want *shrugs*. I would prefer a sequel, but consider an HD remake a test to see how many fans will be willing to sell their souls for it (and I'm sure there will be a lot). Sly for sure was a conversation starter.
I agree that Conker could use a GOOD port too, though it could be the greed in me talking as it would be a glimmer of hope it could maybe be on Steam or something (though unlikely).
Ratchet and Clank won't benefit TOO much from a remake, but maybe some small package for download to bring the multiplayer from UYA to play over PSN (even though UYA had a single player that could stand on it's own). I would rather have that than All 4 One's co-op.
Second Grim Fandango too. MAYBE FFVII to punish Square for teasing that idea (well, ok also because the graphics have aged REALLY badly on the original that while over-rated is still pretty good).

Not always possible, unfortunately. You're assuming that everyone who wants to play these remakes owns the original game and system. Not always true. For example, my brother gave away our N64 (which I still loved dearly), so the remake of Perfect Dark was a god send to me.CorinthianRed said:
Sadly this won't happen. Dynamix went under long ago, Vivendi made a crappy tribes game, Garage Games got the IP from Vivendi (And planned a Tribes 1 web browser version, which only made it to beta), Garage games pretty much went under, and now Hi-Res studios has the ip. They are working on Tribes Acend (FPS Multi) and Tribes Universe (MMOFPS?).Kjakings said:
Also why Tribes 2? The original Tribes was superior gamplay was, and the maps were better.... though I do like one of the snow levels in T2.
Dungeon Keeper 2.
Theme Hospital.
Cave Wars.
Die By The Sword.
Witchhaven (Witchaven?) 2.
That's all I can think of.
