What game would you update?

[Dangit2019]

With the now-impending release of Black Mesa: Source in five days(finally), I thought about what games from the past could really use the old community graphic spit-shine.

Mine would have to be Star Wars Battlefront. That took up a good majority of my childhood, and if someone could fix the texture glitches and reprogram some of the bad AI, I probably wouldn't leave the house for a while afterward.

Bottom Line:

If you could pick one old/older game to be given a graphics update and released for free by the community, which one would it be?

Final Fantasy VII, just so some of the fans (including myself) would shut up. Honestly, the rererelease was just a money grab.

Sacred 2

Oh lord, do I even need to say what's wrong with this game from a technical standpoint?

I could do with a patch.
Or a couple dozen.

 

[D-Soul]

Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2

Remove the Classic Resident Evil like game play and replace it with the current R.E. game play (RE4 RE5 RE6(Maybe)) and fix that ending to Dino Crisis 2 since Crapcom didn't want to give us a definite ending and refuse to make a Dino Crisis 4.

Kinda like Black Mesa cept update HL2 graphics!

 

[Esotera]

Civilization III. It's pretty much perfect as is, but it could use a few UI overhauls to make it more friendly, and possibly some batch operations for moving troops around (which was present in at least one update, but not the version I play at the moment).

Also, you should be allowed to conquer multiple worlds after the space race and fight alien civilizations.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centuri. It just needs graphical overhaul

Shadowman, it's a great game, but it's a little rough around the edges and could use a better control scheme, not to mention that the fairly good story gets a little carried down because of the poor voice acting, and since it's a very atmospheric game the new graphics could make it even creepier, I'd be really happy with that, and I think every time someone makes this thread I give that same answer.

Goddamnit, ninja'd.
So I'm going to go with KOTOR 2.

Me, mention KOTOR 2 whenever I can? Never.

 

[laggyteabag]

Republic Commando, its not an overly old game, but i would love to see it in 2012 graphics.

The same can be said with Battlefront 1 or 2

You play SMAC too? Which faction? Gians is my favourite, because mindworms

 

[felbot]

probably the ultima series, i always wanted to play them but i dont like playing with a key board, doesnt help that the buttons are so spread out.

 

[snappydog]

The original Deus Ex was pretty awesome, if it had graphics on par with HR I reckon it'd stand up pretty well now. Maybe redo some of the voice acting though.
Agree with KotoR, both I and II would be fantastic updated, and agree with FFVII purely to sate the bloodlust of the old style Square fans.

I prefer The University, because of SCIENCE and because my strategy in 4x games is usually to get the best armaments possible.
And then, when they least expect it...
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION EVERYWHERE FIRE IS RAINING FROM THE SKIES
You can probably guess that I'm not a 4X master.

Me, an Omnicidal Maniac? Never.

mindworms don't need to wait to attack at full strength

System Shock 2.

New graphics would make that awesome again. instead of merely brilliant.

I know, but mind worms aren't Planet Busters. I generally do use Mind Worms in the early game, but, you know, Planet Busters.

Me, derailing threads? Never.

Using nerve Gas does make me feel happy and evil. I am a giant evil greedy bastard in Stratergy games.

I tend to play as the Morganites nowadays because its more challenging when people like the spartans usurpers and the believers try to steamroll you.

On topic, Id love to see a remake of the soul reaver/ legacy of kain games because they had awesome stories and voice acting. That or Startopia, it was a quirky but fun space sim. Oh or port the original Deus ex to the HR engine.

Final Fantasy VII, just so some of the fans (including myself) would shut up. Honestly, the rererelease was just a money grab.

As a fanboy of older FF games I would rather have Final Fantasy IX. Always liked it more than VII.

Also Kotor. Not Kotor 2, do not see why people love it so much I hated it. But to each their own I guess.
