What game deserves a remake?

[Manji187]

I'm still waiting for Resident Evil 2 and 3 to get the RE 1 treatment *Grumble Grumble*

Same here man, same here. But it seems parts 4 and 5 have thrown a wrench in the works. "Over the shoulder" is apparently the future, as is hectic, action-oriented gameplay instead of the traditional survival horror. It's the same "mass-appeal" philosophy you see in the whole industry these days. "Classic-style" RE is a now a niche, i.e. not profitable enough.

terranigma.

but thats not likely to happen. And even if its done it would get screwed. Just thinking of that game, makes the last song get stuck in my head.

Captive (Mindscape 1990, Antony Crowther) Amiga/ST/PC

Cappo, is basically a futuristic Dungeon Master clone, or dungeon crawler if you like. It had lots of neat technical touches, like buying 'apps' for your squad of droids, interchangeable body parts, tons of enemies, and a practically infinite game world. It's my all time favorite game, I spent whole summers playing it. It was made back when games could be created by 1 person, even though it's massive, it uses a clever level generation technique to squeeze it all into a 512k computer.

The creator has said that he doesn't want anyone remaking or doing anything with Captive... I can always hope that an iOS version appears. There is a cool looking 3D version of Dungeon Master in the works, I guess I should give that a try.

I'd like a Blade Runner (1997) remake, it has some sandbox feeling (but it wasn't). I remember liking that game a lot.

Someone had to throw it out there but come on who wouldn't love for this to be remade with awesome new graphics? voice acting... im not to sure of though

Pokemon stadium, not some crappy 3d adventure......I WANT HD POKEMON BATTLES!

SMT 1/2 both had excellent stories and were never released outside japan.However they could only be more user unfriendly if every time you moved a bear tried to claw your face off in real life. So give them the Strange Journey treatment and your looking at a pair of pretty kick ass games.

Syndicate, although drop the rubbish isometric RTS elements and make it a 1st person shooter!

Final Fantasy 7.

stereotypical remake material.

 

[Palademon]

If Timesplitter 4 isn't going to be announce soon I would be content with a Timesplitter 2 or 3 remake.

Oh it would be cool if they remake Quake as well.

It's kinda been announced. Sorta. Well, Crytek UK is working on it, apparently.

I thought they were currently responsible for making a sequel to Homefront.

I'd love for a remake of persona 4.
Not change anything, just port it to the PS3.
I really want to play it, but I don't have a ps2

Already being remade for PSP.

If you mean like an HD re-release then The Legacy of Kain series.

If you mean an actual new game, then The Legacy of Kain series.

And yes.

Now that would be a good game to remake, wouldn't it? Loved this game, LOVED!

Wow. It's been a long time since I've heard anyone mention that game. That thing was trippy and really tough. One of the more original settings I remember playing. Great voice acting too.

Right now the stores are filled with all kinds of different remakes, like Halo: Anniversary, Shadow of the colossus/ ICO remake, and other remakes.
But which game do you think that really deserves to have a remake? Why?

My vote goes to the original Deus Ex. I never played the game, but I hav heard so much praise for the game that I wish to play it, and I would like to play a remake of it which has better graphics and some flaws ironed out.

Well those haven't really been re-MADE, they are just the same game with jazzed up graphics. PC games have been doing that for the past decade with resolution boosts from new graphics, patches and custom texture-packs.

Deus Ex seem like a good one to remake as you could argue that too many of the design elements have not aged well, mainly in controls but to lesser extent animation and just general pacing. Actually, just check out some of the mods for Deus Ex, they add up to a remake anyway.

But any game in need of a remake would have to be a console exclusive, something that would never get a PC release, and even Microsoft games belatedly get PC releases often enough. But I hesitate to go with Nintendo as any remake would have to be on the Wii, which I am not to hot about as a platform.

I'm also cautious to want a remake of something like MGS1, even as dated as the PS1 graphics are the overall execution is FAR superior than the Gamecube remake.

I can't really think of anything. There aren't really any PS2/Xbox exclusives that are worth getting a HD-upgrade re-release, that aren't already in the process of beign released. Like MGS3 and Peace Walker are getting a HD re-release (delayed for europe). You've already got HD-version with San Andreas and similar games on PC.

Deffinetly Grim Fandango!

Oh my god this game could have been great but it was crippled by a general lack of 3d support at the time and countless bugs a few in the main parts of the engine!

 

[natster43]

Resident Evil 2. It is probably my favorite game in that series, and it should get a remake like 1.

 

[iamnoobie616]

I would prefer game developers trying new things rather than putting make-up on a 20 year old game and expecting it to compete with newer games(the good ones I mean).

 

[Swyftstar]

Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I think I would actually start weeping if they announced this.

 

[Guffe]

Donkey Kong 64.

The 3D game where you could play as Kong, Diddy, the Girl, Long Arms and PineapleBlasterKong???
