Games that you'd love to see re-mastered ?

muppetkiller

Hi All,
Sorry if this thread has been done before.

Just wondering with Call of Duty on XBOX live and games like Aliens V Predator being released again on the PC. What games would you love to see updated with next gen graphics and made compatible with New PC's/Next Gen Consoles ?

For me it would have to be

Clive Barkers Undying
System Shock 2
Battle of Britain / Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
X-WING and Tie Fighter Series
A-10 Thuderbolt Sims on the PC

Bruce Lee on the C-64
Kick Off 2
Pilot Wings
Carrier Aces (SNES)


That's all I can think of at the moment but what would yours be ?

Hells yeah on those! I think I'd like the whole back catalogue of the Lucas Arts point and clickies. The likes of Grim Fandango. I know they've just redone Monkey Island and they're thinking of doing the second.

Maybe Flashback (Megadrive) too.

I don't really see much point in remastering most games, but I'd like to play pokemon in HD on a new Nintendo home console instead of a handheld, just to see some really detailed creatures and a more immersive world.

Panzer Dragoon Saga. More people need to play that game.

muppetkiller

Ya chin_grin I loved the old Lucas Arts adventure games like 'Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis' , 'Loom' and 'the Dig'

And lets not forget the classic
Knight Games
IK+
Barbarian
Stunt Car Racer (what a game)
Airbourne Ranger

Even a remake of a pretty Recent Game B-17 Flying Fortress
What potential that Sim had.

Well for one thing you've a few generations of people who've never played them as potential customer base.
Provided they don't mess with the game mechanics it'll be a hit with the people who owned them in the past and I'm sure developement time is much quicker to Market as the Story / Level design and script is already complete.

Hoping that the Deus Ex and Half life project that are ongoing for years see the light of day eventually. Still brilliant games regardless mind.

Would love to see that Chrono Trigger Rebirth project completed.

Also, Fallout 2 running on the Fallout 3 engine. Hookers and all!

Every time this thread comes up I say Syndicate in the hopes that whichever publishers currently have the rights will see it.

I was always very surpised that nobody ever made a sequal to Syndicate Wars

I also want to add a HD/sprite redraw for Streets of Rage 1. I love the music in the game but the sprites and animation come nowhere near 2 & 3

Homeworld

Strider

Its often been rumoured a HD version was in the works at capcom but nothing ever came of it.

Nehaxak

Bombjack
Bad Dudes
Putty (Amiga game)
SWOS (Not an Xbox arcade version, a proper full-on upgrade to the original Amiga game)
Dune
...and lastly, turning the original Monkey Island into a full blown MMORPG.

Head Over Heels!

ahhh dem memories...

Kevtherev

Lemmings, original gameplay with updated graphics none of that 3d ****e.

Mr. K

System Shock 1 and 2 would be nice. I haven't played them and I love Bioshock.

A full console RPG version of Pokémon would be amazing, that'd sell like crazy too. I'd prefer it was just the original 151, but I imagine Nintendo would want compatibility with the DS ones.

Magic Carpet!

Mataguri

Gotta agree on Clive Barkers Undying, System Shock 2, FF7, Deus EX and Syndicate. I'd also like to add the first two Thief games, Interstate '76 and Mechwarrior 2.

wes

Would love a Super Mario World HD remix type of thing.

muppetkiller

Rygar
Summer, Winter and World Games
California Games
Ghosts and Goblins/Ghouls and Ghosts

FA18 interceptor on the amiga, great game.

A graphical touch up to today's standards would be tasty. It wasn't a full simulator, as in you could flick every switch in the cockpit, but the controls were decent. Missions were good, atmosphere in the game was excellent too.

jaysus, I might even get the amiga out of the press this evening and see if it'll still read the disk.

Thankfully, it was their other game - the Bourne Identity one - that got cancelled.

I'd love a new X-wing vs. Tie Fighter myself.

Or Thief 1&2 updated with a new engine.

Also, new X-Com.

Actually, I could go on a while.

Dillonb3

Transport tycoon deluxe with improved graphics and possible extras thrown in but keep the general gameplay the same.
Resident Evil 2 with updated graphics

You should play strider 2 which is on the japanese PSN I think. ****ing amazing.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

severance: blade of darkness, and Battlezone 3d. Both of those games are too awesome for words.

Medal Of Honour: Frontline. My favourite fps on the PS2. The d-day level would probably be incredible in HD.

I really regret trading that game in.:(

You should play it now. The landing is laughable due to the lack of characters it could display (it looked poor at the time as well if you played the infinitely better MoH: Allied Assault on the PC) and after the first two levels it's not very good.

StreetFighter III 3rd strike in HD please.

I would love to see Faxanadu released on Ds,also several PS1 and PS2 compilations released on PS3,example Suikoden Collection,Metal Gear Solid Collection, Silent Hill Collection.

I know it will never happen (Because Activision now own the rights), but if Naughty Dog redid the first 3 Crash Bandicoot games, epic right there.

Yeah, I had heard the rumour but not seen that vid. Thanks for posting!

Though, it just makes me want it more

Have my strider 2 for the ps1. While its amusing, its more based on strider from marvel vs capcom. Given the option i'd love to play the original with redrawn HD sprites and the same excellent music.

Either that or a HD remake of osman/cannon dancer (which will never happen).

They cancelled 2 games. One was the Bourne Identity and I was under the impression that the second was called something like Operation Greenline or something, which was the rumoured Syndicate remake. I'll try and dig out the article I read it in. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Oh and +1 to Xcom. I'd love to see a decent, well funded remake. The other remakes aren't too bad, but you can see the low budget shining through.

Pokemon XD and Colosseum were both pretty "meh" in fairness, and I'm fairly sure they didn't sell all that well. I'd love to see a Wii pokemon game though, I can't understand why nothing has been released so far!
Hopefully something gets announced at E3 this year

For me it'd have to be remake of Dino Crisis 2 with nice shiny current gen graphics, can't really see that ever happening though...

Gummy Panda

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

I know a grown man who admitted to crying near the end of shadow of the colossus. His girlfriend gave him some grief.
