I was reminiscing about all my favorite games(thanks to the world of emulators I have played nearly every game ever created prior to ps2 lol) and was wondering what sort of games you guys would wish to see remade.
As for me, comes a game as timeless as ff7 itself, albeit not nearly as popular.
The game in question is River City Ransom for NES. The game had Double Dragon DESTROYED in the amount of side-scrolling fighting available, You could throw weapons, use weapons, learn new moves, throw your PARTNER, etc etc etc.
It had rpg elements in the form of a large for its time stats system, which you could upgrade at various shops with money collected. You were even able to learn completely new abilities such as acrobatic flips, triple punches, triple kicks, etc.
All in all, even considering the very short story and playthrough, this game still offers me much enjoyment, especially when playing multiplayer.
Now I am aware that there was a japanese sequel that was named something slightly different, but they removed most of the RPG mechanics and moved more to a beat-em up. In my opinion, the sequel was a severe downgrade from the original.
If this game was recreated even with the original 8-bit graphics, and the story and game length was extended...I believe it would land on my list of top 10 games ever.
If you havent played it, get it and give it a shot.

Try the Scott Pilgrim game on PSN and XBLA, heavily influenced by RCR.

base wars for the original NES. I still like playing that game sometimes, and how many times have you been called out in baseball and you just wanted to go toe to toe with the baseman who tagged you.
-
like to see a remake of Bushido for the Playstation as long as they keep the gameplay

I'm not one for remakes, but two games I think would benefit from a remake would be half-life and Duke Nukem 3D. HL already has a mod that may or may not come out soon, but Duke 3D was pretty advanced for it's time, so a remake is only natural considering the focus of the game on environmental interactivity. Of course DNF would count as that a little, but It's more or less a sequel. The original levels re-imagined would be pretty cool.

HL source may be vaporware for now, but duke3d has been redone...sorta...

the new engine looks stunning, though you need a decent rig to play it at max. If you d/l all the model and texture packs, it looks circa 2007 and it's still fun to play. I forgot how damned difficult it is though!

Sonic 3&Knuckles, in HD, with remastered soundtracks. Too bad SEGA doesn't give a crap about the classics anymore.
-
Duke3D is getting a fan made remake on the Unreal3 engine, and Gearbox(new Duke IP owner) have given their blessing.
Pyrozen, HL:Source was made by Valve and is just the HL1 resources converted to the Source Engine, you're probably thinking of Black Mesa: Source, apparently they were within a month of finishing a one point and then they delayed it again.

http://blackmesasource.com/ Would this be the one you're referring to? Or is there another one out there somewhere that I haven't heard of?
Personally, I'd like to see the first 5 Crash Bandicoot games (1, 2, 3, CTR, and Wrath of Vortex) be remade with better graphics, (but in the original Naughty Dog style).
Also, maybe some proper remakes of Fallout 1 and 2, as well as a canon remake of tactics, but not with the Fallout 3 game engine. Something more along the lines of the Van Buren tech Demo.
-
I would like to see a remade version of FFVII and FFVIII=)
And also Breath of Fire series)
-
- FF6
- FF7
- Chrono Trigger
- Shadow Run
- Resident Evil 1 & 2
- Silent Hill
- Comix Zone
There are another bunch of games i would probably like a remake, but so many years have passed that i lost track on many games i've played.
-
Black Mesa: Source, apparently they were within a month of finishing a one point and then they delayed it again.
It's probably a good thing they did. The physics aren't cooperating in recreating all the original effects.
I'm also watching the Metroid 2 remake. It should be coming along about the same time as BM:S does.
-
- Resident Evil 1
Remade and expanded version came out for the Gamecube years ago and got a Wii re-release not long ago as well.
-
- Shadow Run
This This This!
-
Custer's Revenge, Beat 'em & Eat 'em, Bachelorette Party, Bachelor Party, Gigolo, Philly Flasher, Cathouse Blues, Knight on the Town and Jungle Fever.
They all need to be remade in glorious 1080p 3D.
-
Legend of Dragoon for the PS1. One of my fave RPGs :D
Maybe a remake for Resident Evil 2 or 3, maybe like what they did with RE1 for GameCube
-

Amazing game, one my favorite of the year.
-
Having a 4 player digital download game and no online features is one of the reasons I haven't finished it yet, not a great game to play solo unfortunately.
-
- Resident Evil 1
Remade and expanded version came out for the Gamecube years ago and got a Wii re-release not long ago as well.
Too bad i'm a playstation fanboy and even if i wasn't, i aint gonna buy gamecube/wii just to play Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 0, as much as i like them.
-
Fanboyism is a joke my man, it's a pointless refusal to believe in another product or service with the fear it may be better.
Live a little, probably cost 40 bucks for a pre-owned 'Cube and both games.

The original Diablo. With an extended storyline and the ability of infinite dungeons and level ups. Considering the tiny size ofthe first game, I think they could accomplish a seemingly endless game with relative ease. Curious to see Diablo 3. But still believe 1 is the best.

I AGREE !!!! The game was too short for my tastes but still I play it today :D USEast ftw
Though I don't know if anybody mentioned this in this topic yet I haven't really read the whole thing, but i'd like to see Fallout 1 and 2 made in Fallout 3/New Vegas' Engine. That would be pretty cool, but still keeping how some of the stats and stuff from them. Keeping the Old Skills, Optional Traits, the Perk every 3/4 Levels, the same stat calculations, though I don't know how the Sequence stat would work but can always just remove that.
-
A game like Roadwar 2000 or Rock'n Roll Racing.
Also Wastelands,the inspiration for Fallout.

Too bad SEGA doesn't give a crap about the classics anymore.
That's not entirely true. They did make a sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles that they released for WiiWare in 2010 (and it was actually pretty awesome). Seriously, 16 years later. :P And in all honesty I think that sonic belongs in the realm of 2d. I refuse to ever play a 3d sonic game. :C

Don't you dare call Sonic 4 Episode 1 pretty awesome. The music and physics were both pretty problematic. It was okay, I beat it, but it was very much not a sincere effort on SEGA's part.
But that aside, there's no way they will ever do ANYTHING with the true classics other than emulate them.

Awww come on, it was enjoyable. XD At least when you compare it to the new sonic games they're coming up with today (srsly, someone in that company is trying to ruin Sonic).
But yeah at first I was all "where's my momentum?" but I got used to the controls pretty fast. It also brought back a lot of memories and nostalgia. :3 Music isn't what it used to be but apparently they were trying to have the same feel as the old games.
-
Final Fantasy 6 should be remade to look like this:

-
Wondering how a Carmageddon would look like these days.
I guess it would be heavily influenced by the sales, as it would get a higher age cap for the violence.
Back in the days, games didn't care about that, if a char was smoking to give some relevance to the char, they would do it, sex with hokers, child killer perks, drive by a bunch of people, pee-ing someone, etc. Games like that would never see daylight these days.
I miss the old days.

Someone is remaking Sonic Extreme!
He uses the leaked levels and textures.

Yes, I completely agree, 1 is the best. It's atmospheric music, and focus on horror creates a feeling that diablo 2 certainly lacked, and Diablo 3 definitely will not recreate (it's by the people who made WoW so, I doubt we will see such a focus on horror)
Fighting the butcher for the first time ever was terrifying. Also, despite there only being 3 armor changes based on the class of armor - all of them were exceptionally well designed - especially the warrior, every time i got a new tier of armor it made me feel more badass. I would love to see a remake in exactly the same way but with more - the original character classes, the original sounds, and animations to match. I would love to make a mod for a game to remake it, but sadly my understanding of coding is very slim at the moment.
Also, not a remake - but I'd like to see a sequel to Quake 1. That game was probably the most original of ID's games (besides Heretic/Hexen - which were Raven)
The environments were so cool in that game, from high-tech bases to medieval castles, to weird otherworldly "runic" designs with a lot of metalwork. Add the ambient style of music, and the lovecraftian monsters - it really made an eerie experience. A sequel could be amazing.
I was disappointed how Quake 2 went back to all base/installation as its environment - it felt like a combo between Quake and Doom, but more like the latter - the Weapons were almost the same, and the enemies weren't even as good as Quake or Doom. Shame ID continued the Q2 part of the series instead of the original.

Someone hasn't played Sonic Colors. That game was so kickass, imagine Super Mario Galaxy if it was a Sonic game. It's got good controls (even in the 3D areas), better physics, incredible music, and basically everything that Unleashed did right and no werehog.

i totally agree with the quake I comments, i played the hell out of that game....beat it over and over and over. If you never bothered, Trent Reznor created a soundtrack for it, but it was sadly never implemented into the final game. I would check it out if you interested in his take on Quake.
As far as Quake II goes, i totally loved the singleplayer and multiplayer. Quake had MP mods, but quake II blew the whole genre of modding games wide open. Also, the soundtrack is my all time favorite, well actually the only game soundtrack I can remember without hearing it. You could play it straight off the CD, and i remember rolling in my first car jamming it loud as hell.....yeah....dork.

Hmm? There was a soundtrack, and it came on the original CD version and it played when you put it in - most modern ports allow you to put the tracks in the folder so you don't need the CD to play.
I used to take the CD out whenever I played as a kid because the soundtrack made me scared of it. Now I love it, fits perfectly with the game.

The other tracks really aren't meant to be "listened to" as the first one is. They are simply meant to give the game an eerie fee, and they do accomplish their task fairly well given the style of monsters and the level architecture.
-
hmmmm...maybe im thinking of quake II?? i recall a number of Ni tracks were created for one of the quake games, but scrapped after the fact. I downloaded them ages ago and they were a great addition.....
googling.....
nevermind, he did the initial design on doom III, but his worked was scrapped. They can still be downloaded as an add on pack though.
for anyone who never heard the quake II sound track, give this a listen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvRYVSQS2_s
best soundtrack of any game i've ever played. Guitars are cruchy but not over repetative. If you like this one, i'd recommend getting the full album. Its great music to listen to if you can where headphones at work.
-
Crash Team Racing... and i mean a real remake that would keep the SAME fun and amazing gameplay! (Crash Nitro Kart just didnt live up to my expectations at all...)

I always preferred Doom's soundtrack over Q2's Idk, something about the style of Q2's music and it's execution just put me off a bit - I don't mind it at all, some of it is pretty good but I've never really gone out of my way to listen to it - except for one song that I really enjoy - Descent into Cerberon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WojopwjrsnY&feature=related
Idk why, but i F***ing love this song. It's my fav out of all the Q2 tracks, and It really gets you pumped. Also, a song that i find reminds me of this a little bit, but in a different way is the Redbook Descent soundtrack for the second level (or first, forgot)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGUsZ20LUk It's a remix of the SB OPL synth version (NOT the General MIDI version - that one sucks) done with real instruments and It's kick ass.
Descent is another game that seriously needs a remake. It was revolutionary for the time, then D2 improved it, and there was - one clone. The closest thing we see to it is space sims now, but the ONLY game that was ever a semi-successful clone of it was Forsaken (which wasn't too great imo) Fortunately, Interplay has just acquired enough money to start working on their franchises again - and they said one of which is Descent.

@Bloodshot
I'm into modding for D1/D2 and I found a mod for D1 called Diablo Awakening think you should check it out just google search ;) It's on MODDB

Road Rash Online :-o You can already shoot people around the world and cast lightning bolts and fireballs at them...why not make a game where we can race them whilst beating them with a chain or poking them with a cattle prod?
EDIT - Seriously though, a modern Road Rash would probably be awesome. Give bikes the customizability of Gran Turismo or Need for Speed, add dozens of weapons instead of just a few, and with 3D maps/tracks I think it would be sweet. I know they made that one RR game for PSX way back, but I'm thinking more Road Rash 2

i agree, that would be a totally sick game. The franchise died on a low note, which was the PSX game. Horrid controls and sounds were just a few of the problems, and the game felt like an outlaw sim rather than the "professional" racing w/weapons that the sega genesis games were. I would be all for a game such as this though.
Also, anyone remember destruction derby 1 and 2 on the PSX? They were such a blast to play, especially the bowl levels where you just beat the hell out of each other. I don't think DD has been done as good since.
-
Had both RR and DD for PSX back in the day. Fun games.
Too bad i lended them and never had my sight on them again.
-
Grandia 1, 2, and The whole Arc The Lad Collection. Same VA's for for the Grandia characters and no f*cking VA's for the Arc characters. If there's no talking in a game I'd rather it stay that way. Voice Actors now days can really kill off good characters.
If I could have them redo/change one thing completely, it would be Elc and Lieza's relationship. They both seem to get close to each other in Arc 2 but then you play Arc 3 and they're both living their own lives and neither one speaks of the other. Stupid rage ending.

Grandia I and II were more different than FF VI and VII,
you couldnt believe they were written by the same company.
I would like to see a remake of the Lucas Arts fractal games
Rescue on Fractalus
Koronis Rift
The Edolon
they use a really unique drawing code derived from mountain rendering tools for movies,but were limited by slow hardware.

Wait they were? I don't remember Square Soft/Enix being in the franchise until Grandia 3 (which bombed badly) I'll have to read the covers again.
-
The Grandia series has always been developed by Game Arts. Every game in the series since II, including spin-offs, has been published by Enix (more recently Square-Enix), but they never developed.

remake Parasite Eve 1 & 2 prease. i loves my Aya Brea!!! :D

I want new games that don't suck, old games are for shedding tears of nostalgia. New games should have this same value for future.

super mario world, best game i played when i was young still play it now if i could
Teenage mutant ninja turtle- turtle in time
zelda- a link to the past
chrono trigger
annd last but not least ......(drumroll).......metroid 3

Mirenheart: If I wasn't busy laughing myself to bits, I'd have to strangle you for linking to that Kefka-pic. :evil:
But, on topic... Hm... Shining Force 1-3 - the whole pack. Simple gameplay (some would consider the lack of customising a downside - to them I say MEH!), but I liked the hell out of it. Also, not counting Jogurt (... if you don't know, do NOT ask), there's a complete lack of Palmer/Eiko/Selphie/Yuffie/Heidegger. Howzat, eh?
Wing Commander Privateer would be nice, but I've lost count of how many mods and game-engines have been brought to life for this purpose... but they ain't good lookin'. :)
ALSO: Regarding FF6-remakes... Has anyone picked up Neverwinter Nights 2 and Storm of Zehir? With that party-system, you already have that part essentially in the bag. Scripting should allow for a fairly accurate rendition of those put-the-moogle-groups-wherever-to-block-the-nasty-soldjurzz-minigames, if one would bother - or just leave it alone, and have the player forced to run all over fighting groups of soldiers real-time, with someone basically defenceless to protect in the back (INTENSE!)... Quests finally giving XP, or whatever you like... If doing a multiplayer version, you could even have different starting points for each character, going through their backgrounds before Tina turns up in Narshe, or whatever. Sort of run into each other real-time. I... should stop writing now. I have that game installed...
Well, the special attacks (Blitz, Swordplay, Rage) would require some Feat-hacking and a half, of course, but isn't it theoretically possible? OK, so NWN2-SoZ is AD&D, but - it r haz w0rldmap! (And all the bugs you could shake a stick at, some lawsuit I haven't heard much about lately, etc.)
