With the release of Doom 3 (which is essentially a retelling of Doom 1) and recently games like Twin Snakes and REmake I was wondering, what games would you guys like to see remade/reimagined?

My Votes:

 

[jiggle]

Crystalis
and give it a decent boxart.

 

[IJoel]

 

[AniHawk]

MAKE IT SO!

 

[SolidSnakex]

I want them done on next gen systems. Kojima has said he wants to make a futuristic game, so this would be a good way to do it.

 

[Joe]

2d. same art style. cel-shaded.

 

[Wario64]

 

[Dyne]

Mostly PS1 RPGs that I just can't play because they literally screw my eyes. Sprite games will always have a place in my heart and I could never bear to see them remade, unless done really well.

 

[bjork]

Guardian Legend.

Truly, no game needs an update more than this one, now that the Pirates! remake is almost out.

 

[Eric-GCA]

Demons Crest

Damn you Capcom!

 

[Defensor]

I'm sorry, I had to do it.

 

[Stryder]

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!

(Perhaps for DS?)

edit : didn't even see Wario's suggestion above!.. guess Wario64 beat me to the punch *ba doom tish*

I seriously think square enix should go back and remake FF4 - 6 with modern day 3D techniques and such. Keep the original artwork on hand but redo those 3 games with the same care and devotion put into a new entry for the series. I mean really, do we want another new final fantasy game after FF12 ? I think the idea's about run its course myself. Start remaking them instead.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Hell yeah.

 

[ferricide]

i would definitely agree on FFVII. i'd like to replay it, but jesus christ is that ugly. 3D PS1 games do not age well. i'd much rather play SNES/genesis/PCE.

i'd also love to see them remake FFIV full-blown, but that's just my inner fanboy talking. there's no pressing reason to do so.

 

[Dan]

Dare I say...
Star Wars: Rebellion

It was a flawed game but I had a freakin' blast with it. I'd love to see a new one made, or something pretty similar, in the Star Wars universe where you manage planet resources, amass armies and fleets and then take real-time command of your ships in battle.

[etiolate]

Body Harvest

 

[MrPing1000]

MegaLoMania!

 

[Funky Papa]

Hell yeah.

YES

 

[Vomiaouaf]

This might certainly sound odd in many ways, but :

 

[Ghost]

Remade by:

Seeing how Speedball Arena got canned im not too hopeful for this one though.

And Also, the one, the only

 

[Scrow]

Metroid II

 

[White Man]

Is Demon Sword the sequel to something? I sort of remember it being the sequel to something.

 

[BlueLegs]

Half-Life
Perfect Dark
Deus Ex
Final Fantasy VII
Zelda - Majora's Mask
Vagrant Story

While none of these games are really old I would definately play through them again if they were remade. In fact if it was up to me, I would have pretty much every great 3D game which is more than 5 years old remade.

 

[Scrow]

Half-Life
...
Zelda - Majora's Mask

I'd like to see Valve or some team in the mod community remake Half-Life using the HL2 engine.

MM doesn't need a remake.

Looks like you can read my mind. Yesterday I was thinking about an article on the new breed of european developers and I imagined a new Speedball, with the same art direction of the Bit Bros. and the technical power of Southend. Sheer brilliance.

BTW, looks like Southend is cooking something new and potentially cool. I can't wait.

 

[hobbitx]

Not exactly like this, but an edgy update with more characters could be fun.

Lastly, original Zelda 3d remake for next gen.

A new Speedball will happen eventually, just not Speedball Arena. Who's Southend and what did they do?

 

[Ghost]

Southend made Deathrow. They are working on something new, ive got the email somewhere, no details as yet though the guy holding a gun in the image i posted is probably a clue.

 

[ChryZ]

<- PARADROID!

 

[Funky Papa]

Southend did Deathrow, a rather obscure game which is pretty much the modern incarnation of Speedball. The game bombed HARD because of its publisher's incompetence, but it showed Southend's true talent to the world (the game was made by just seven people IIRC) and it became the first sleeper hit of the Xbox.

Not bad for a first gen game made by a supersmall team of rookies.

Flashback
Rock-N-Roll Racing
Return Fire
Whiplash (a crazy racing game for the PC)
Moto Racer
Slam-N-Jam basketball
Rastan
Super Sprint
Excitebike
Top Gear Racing

Edit: ^^^ thought of some more...

 

[speedpop]

Fuck yeah on Snatcher & Policenauts.


As well on Terranigma - Quintet made an awesome trilogy on SNES, where are they now?

 

[Kon Tiki]

I want them done on next gen systems. Kojima has said he wants to make a futuristic game, so this would be a good way to do it.

Shadowrun too.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

Syndicate
Ultima's I - VII
Planescape: Torment
Tie Fighter
X-Wing
Duke Nukem
Diablo 2
Starcraft
System Shock
Shadowrun
Grim Fandango

I would have had Pirates on this list a few years back, can't wait for that one.

 

[Zaptruder]

I'll cast in a third vote for Syndicate.

Something between the cross of a HL2 engine FPS crossed with The Sims 2 style body building and base/house management and some Shogun Total war style strategy game (the board game part of it) could make a pretty interesting game...

But a modern remake of a game...

I'd want a cross of

Freespace/Elite...

Kinda like Frontier with soul.

 

[lordmrw]

Shadowrun, both versions, I don't care. God that license is a fucking gold mine, why isn't someone jumping on that?

Final Fantasy 7 - I have the PC version, but that still doesn't really change the fact that its ugly now. Its like they couldn't decide on which graphic style to use and threw them all in. You've got your deformed models in town, full size models in battle, and then the same thing happened in the FMV.

Terranigma - I don't know whether I would prefer it being in 3d, or just high res 2d. Either way, I'd love to see this game again.

Actraiser - a game with the action sections of Actraiser 2 (with better controls, although that never bothered me), and a more complex version of the world building of Actraiser 1 would fucking own. I liked what they tried with Solo Crisis, so maybe something like that.

 

[DCX]

- G-Police- improve draw distance high poly, nice effects
- Colony Wars- Just higher poly the game was near perfect
- Wipeout XL- High poly, high res, super duper effects
- The Sword of Beserk- Resident Evil Zero type visuals, high poly models, rag doll pyschics, hit specfic damage
- Chrono Trigger- voice overs, completely 3D
- Final Fantasy VII- high res backgrounds, high poly models, voice over work
- Wild Arms- With voice, completely 3D
- Super Metriod- 2.5D Effects galore
- Perfect Dark- Would be nice if it used the Metriod Prime engine
- Gex Series- Jak III quality visuals
- Vagrant Story- Use the FFX engine
- Starcraft- Use Warcraft III engine
- Duke Nukem- use Doom III engine
- Blaster Master- completely 3D, in the vein of Red Dog for Dreamcast

[epmode]

if any game needs a remake, it's this one. castlevania 2 was very much ahead of its time. rpg elements, a day-night cycle.. the "town to wilderness to dungeon and back again" travel system is awesome, and hasn't been recreated in any other castlevania game.

but for such a fantastic premise, it also has some huge, game-breaking flaws. a terrible translation, nonsensical quest, INVISIBLE PITS, etc.. a new (fixed,) game in the same style would be nice.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Was Syndicate for PC the same as the SNES one?

 

[bobafett]

Another World... This is a game that was totally revolutionary for its time.

Also, would be interesting to see remakes of:

H.E.R.O
Adventure
Syndicate
Parappa the Rapper

And many others...

 

[djtiesto]

Actraiser, hell yeah!!

Sin and Punishment

Dracula X:Rondo Of Blood

Blaster Master

Cosmic Fantasy

And we need a Valkyrie Profile 2

 

[DCX]

Parappa the Rapper

Why? What would you do to remake it?

DCX

 

[Zaptruder]

Kinda. it's a port... but the gulf in quality is like the difference between Quake 1 and Quake 3...

 

[Great Wasabi Man]

Actraiser 1
Kid Icarus
FF4
Chrono Trigger
Bionic Commando

 

[belgurdo]

I'd like to see a Sonic game with 2D gameplay and 3D backgrounds, and more diversity between the characters than "this one jumps higher, this one flies, etc."

 

[Swordian]

Any of the good 3D games from the PSX and N64. I played Goldeneye the other day, and while still really fun the graphics were in need of an overhaul. Between last generation and this one it feels like going from Atari to NES. The 3D just looks so...bland.
