I'm sure everyone has heard about the upcoming HD remaster of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, and the remaster of God of War and God of War II which came out in late 2009, but what games do you want to see remastered? I personally would like to see a remaster of the first three Ratchet and Clank games, as well as one for the first two Jak and Daxter titles.
Seem to be some incongruity here.
GoW HD Collection and others like it have not had a graphics overhaul. Not a single polygon is changed, not a single shader tweaked.
All that is done is to rendered in HD (usually 720p) with full anti-aliasing which makes a huge difference for CONSOLE GAMES from the PS2 era as most of those games were 480i (interlaced) with usually no anti-aliasing at all.
Yep people hare are asking for the liked of Deus Ex to get a "HD re-release"...HUUUAH!!??
Deus Ex was a HD game when it was released in 2000! That's right 720p (actually larger at 1280x1024), anti-aliasing and high frame-rate. All these console games like GTA Sand Andreas, there has been HD version for years now... on PC.
As a PC gamer this pisses me off. Console gamers say "Oh i don't care about HD graphics" when their platform-of-choice doesn't offer it... yet when it is a possibility they start pining for an expensive and pricey re-release when PC has ALWAYS BEEN THERE!
right now the entire GTA series GTA1-3, Vice City and San Andreas is only £5

that's less than HALF the price of a typical XBLA title for FIVE games!
What more do you want? What is wrong with this deal? is it because it isn't attached to a billion-dollar-brand like "Playstation" or "Xbox" that you won't consider it as a gaming platform?!?
