What games do you want to see remade?

[Feba]

I think we all some old games we used to love, that either couldn't live up to it's potential on an older console, or just needs to be seen again.

So what do you want to see redone? Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be realistic to see it remade. At all. You could wish for a Bubbles remake for all I care.

Personally,

Shenmue: I'd love to see this remade, especially on Wii. Pointing/looking at things with the wiimote would be insanely useful in Shenmue compared to the old control scheme. I'd also like to see the first game combined with the second, and the ending added onto that (since the Shemue MMO looks like it's going to be rather lame imo.)

It would be sweet to see Shenmue with updated graphics (even Wii quality, considering what they were able to squeeze out of the Dreamcast), like MUCH more detail added to Shenmue II's world (more shops I can enter, more drawers and closets to open). It would also be great to see Shenmue done seamlessly (no loading screens going into or leaving shops, for example)

It would also be cool to see QTEs redone for Wii, some things could be made much cooler, not to mention the possibilities of more and better minigames (darts, anyone?). Having the time skip in Shenmue II in the entire series (including the first) would also be useful.

I personally would love to see so much additional content (heck, make it so that there's so many arcade/master system games to unlock, you could buy it and beat it just for the amount of old games to play on it) that each chapter, or every few chapters had to have their own disk. A Shenmue large enough that it looks like a DVD collection would be awesome.

OMFG! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Quest
In March 2007, Crystal Quest became one of the first games to appear on Microsoft Windows Vista

Damn I have to find that.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

I haven't even played most of the current and new games, so I'm not too worried about remakes.

I kind of prefer past games stay in the past. Graphical updates are neat and all, but I can't help but feel that they take something away from the original game when you do that. I enjoy older games not because they are pretty, but because they play well. A sequel? I can get behind that. But I'd rather game developers spend their time on new things rather than retreads of old.

Murphie, you're a devout Contrarian, aren't you?

One of these days, I'm going to make a thread about how bad babies taste, just to mess you up.
------------------------------------------
also, it's not just graphical updates, it's improving the game's flaws and expanding it.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

Just because I don't agree with your myriad random ideas doesn't make me a contrarian.

If a game is still worth playing, then it's flaws are likely worth overlooking. And if they aren't, then you shouldn't bother in the first place. We're not going to find a perfect game, and that's fine by me. There are a lot of really great ones out there. More than enough for me to play for years without having to worry about going back to the well.

I would have to say Starflight2, absolutely loved that game. I still have a computer that can run it, but over the years the floppy disc is now corrupt and unplayable. I really don't care for updated graphics or anything changed, the simplicity of the game is one of the things i loved about it.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

One of my worries with remakes is that try to change something that shouldn't be. You have a game thats a 9 or 10 and then they remake it, tweak it, and the next thing you know they screwed it up. I understand they are trying to lure in new fans that have never played it and also bring back some old ones but in the end all they are trying to do is line their pockets with more $$$.

The only reason I'm happy to see some games remade is because PS1 games are so damn grainy on my big screen. Old eyes + grainy game = headache LOL

I have to agree with you Feba, I'd like to see Shenmue but a whole new game. If I had to go with a remake how about combining I & II with a To Be Continued.... at the end? That would make my day!

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

I'd also want another Freespace title.

And X-Wing vs Tie Fighter damnit.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

Shadow of the Colossus HD.

Remade in full 1080p/60fps, new weapons and all 40+ colossi that were originally planned.

Make it happen, Ueda. I would cry epic manly tears.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

YES to the Shenmue and Shadow of the Colossus.

I'd personality like a remake of Stitch: Experiment 626... *Twiddles thumbs* What?! I can't suppress my childhood. They could have made that game so damn awesome. A mondo rework of the graphics, HD but still keeping that cartoon look. Not to mention take account to Stitch's abilities. I wanted to scale across every single wall and ceiling in sheath mode, using infra-red vision to mark the soldiers and take them out one by one with your claws!

Hell-- even storm in with plasma cannons blazing, or rip a 20-ton console off it's hinges to hurl at the enemies! I want to ride the police cruiser!

The red one! *Sobs*

Okay I'm done now.

Count me in if this happens.

And aaaactually, Ueda DOES have "something" cooking on the PS3. He's been dead silent about what it is, but Team Ico has been putting up some cryptic clues of late. It's "probably" not Shadow of the Colossus... but it's definitely something new and epic.

Other games I'd love to see new remakes for:

U.N. Squadron
Not only is this one of the best sidescrolling shooters of all time, but the amazing chucklefest irony in having a team of special air force from the U.N. blowing everything to bits tickles me.

Grim Fandango
Ah, the memories. Give me a 3D platformer remake of this comedy gold game and I can die happy.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

Every popular game is already remade. For any obscure games that I would like to see remade with new and improved graphics, yet keep the game true?

Missile Command
Donkey Kong or Popeye
Streets of Rage
Double Dragon (its been awhile since this was remade)
TMNT the Arcade game (was tmnt2 on nes) but with the graphics of the coin op version on console
Punisher (was a nes shooter) This one would be cool remade as a metal gear solid type game.
Bonk
Keith Courage
Gunsmoke
1942

I cant think of anymore that I would like to play with right now that hasnt been recently done that I know of.

RUN PIGEONS! IT'S ROBERT FROST!

I would be all over this.

Re: What games do you want to see remade?

I'd like to see a ton of 2D NES games remade in HD, in all their 2D gameplay glory.

That includes:

-Batman (Sunsoft's)
-Castlevania
-Bionic Commando
-Contra
-Robocop (the old 2D arcade game)
-Shatterhand
-Super Ghosts and Ghouls
-A bunch of other games I don't even remember their name.


Note that while I'd settle for 3D models with a 2D gameplay (IE the new Castlevania remake), I'd rather see HD sprites with very fuild animation instead.
