Video Game Remake Suggestions

[Anonymous]

This thread was done before, but I'm probably way more important than the person who started the last one.

Anyway. Game companies (and Hollywood) are constantly looking to the past for inspiration, or at least a cheap, fast way to make a buck. However, most good old games get overlooked in favor of the more popular ones. So, here you can recommend what games should get a remake that haven't before.

It won't matter, but it's something to complain about, which in turn is something we all enjoy. I look forward to hearing a lot of you hilariously suggest things that have already been done in a VERY hip and anti-conformationalist manner.

My suggestions:

Rise Of The Triad
It was really, really violent and had an awesome soundtrack. I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be an instant hit if repackaged with an engine that didn't totally blow.

Clash At Demonhead
If nothing else, it would appeal to all the guys fagging up Adult Swim, because it has Token Anime Characters in it! :o They're not actually from any anime, as far as I can tell, though. This game had a somewhat unique route system, where you'd go through levels forward and backward and stuff to get items and progress the story. And it had floating shops that you could call down!

[DamnthatDavid]

They need to Remake X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter
I spent hours and hours flying through space, dive bombing the capital ships which for some unknown reason where smaller, and had perfect aims.
Remake it with ships up to scale, better graphics, the return of the storymode, more online battles, ship paint customization (for online battles) and capital ships that won't blast you out of space for flying in a straight line for more then 2 seconds.

[whoreable]

My friedn and i were playing the 1942 arcade game. I want to see that remade just cause.

[Schimid]

Any game that used to be 2D but made the transition to 3D.

I want a Sonic game that, instead of going 3D, stays in 2D and gives a CRAPLOAD of features to go along with it.

[Marilyn666]

Nightmare Creatures.

[Supafly345]

That is called 2.5 D. When it is 2-D linear gameplay, only with 3-dimensional enviroments. Like Nights, SotN, or the Wild 9.

I was actually satisfied with how they converted sonic. I think it was the closest 3D could get to being sonic.

[EverythingWillSuck]

ADVENTURES OF LOLO

OH I FORGOT IT'S A KIRBY CHARACTER NOW :lol

I'm not saying that. I mean, just like the old games, 8-bit graphics and all.

It'd rock because you could have hundreds and hundreds of levels :(

[Immortal Goat]

Crusaders of Centy

Beyond Oasis

*probably bending over for verbal ass-rape, but...*

I think that if Nintendo were to take the Pokemon games (first 2), did them entirely in 3d, and made the battle system a little different, then it could be a great game. My idea for the battle system is simple, actually, and I can't believe they didn't think of this earlier. Your Pokemon goes out, and instead of a turn based battle, you take control of the Pokemon itself and have specific moves designated to a certain button. That way you can dodge attacks, and add a little more strategy to a more fast-paced fight.

Your insults are now expected.

[A.S.H.]

I demand a Super Smash T.V. remake, with beautiful Gore and an uber high quality sound byte of the famous line "Big Money, Big Prizes, I Love It!" And weapons you can purchase with all those toasters and T.V.s you pick up.

:love :love :love

I'd also like to see a 2-d sonic game with like 400 levels or something ridiculous :)

[Methuselah]

Ultima 7: The Black Gate
Y's III
Phantasy Star II

Bout all I got

It'd rock because you could have hundreds and hundreds of levels :(We are talking conversion from a 35 meg cart, to a 9 gig disk. Thousands of levels.
And sonic was originally 16-bit. Only when it was ported to the master system was it 8-bit.

[Anonymous]

It was also 8-bit on the game gear, y'all.

[AChimp]

Return to Zork

Oh wait, that game was already PERFECT. :lol

[Anonymous]

When I saw your name in the thread, I knew you were going to say that.

You're gay.

[AChimp]

I can't think of any other game-related jokes. :(

[HickMan]

I'd like to see whatever Super Fly was talking about with a mario game. I think that'd be pretty good.

[Schimid]

We are talking conversion from a 35 meg cart, to a 9 gig disk. Thousands of levels.

Nah, that's too many. Just hundreds with billions of extras and stuff like that that you can unlock from getting enough rings or something.

Where was the 3D imagery in Symphony of the Night? It was totally 2D and the only thing that suggested any kind of depth was parallax backgrounds, which have been around since Super Mario World. The doors and save points were polygons, but that's it.

[Anonymous]

I remember parts of the cathedral being 3D

[Anonymous]

Oh yeah. Also, in the Castle Keep, you could see a 3D tower in the background.

[Pee Wee Herman]

I would kill my own mother and father for a starcraft sequel that was better or as good as the first one. Not an expansion pack, but a sequel with an almost entirely new storyline. It also has stay perfectly balanced if they add new races (which I'm sure they would, if they made a sequel).

[Emu]

I'd like to see Metroid and Super Metroid on GBA, only without all these extra bullshit features they add that toally screw up the integrity of the game. I want them exactly they way they came out, only transferred to GBA. That would be awesome. :(

[Anonymous]

Then get a rom reader for your GBA. Fag.

[The Unseen]

If I wasn't such a fag, I would have heard about it by now :(

[Marilyn666]

They should remake Yoshi.

[Command Prompt]

Carmageddon. X-box. >:

[Anonymous]

carmageddon 3 came out ~2000 already :\

[Ghost of Fraiser]

spot goes to hollywood

[Supafly345]

[Marilyn666]

Bushido Blade 2

[Command Prompt]

Yeah but I want the original ported to Xbox with updated graphics and Xbox live enabled.

[executioneer]

Ultima 7: The Black Gate
Ultima 8: Pagan, Ultima Online. Pick one.

Phantasy Star II
Again, Phantasy Star III, Phantasy Star Online. Pick one.

The only rape thats going to go on is normal, perfectly homosexual rape.

I have been saying this since the gamecube came out

also...PUT IT ONLINE. I'm sick of fighting people the computer, and none of my friends play the orignial pokemon anymore.

[drunkbrigade]

Splatter house & a new Golden Axe

[Darko]

Fucking BUBBLE BOBBLE.

Maniac Mansion, Streets of Rage (though they'd probably fuck it all up), I'd like to see a new Blaster Master too.

[SMN]

they should port Fist of the North Star: Fighting Mania to home consoles. They could easily make a different controller for it so you can punch at home, I mean, I love pumping quarters into this game, and they should put scenes from the anime of people getting ripped in half, their heads exploding, and all that junk.

[Trann]

Jet Force Gemini needs a port or a sequel. Seriously.

[drunkbrigade]

I also think the original metal gear and metal gear 2-snakes revenge should be remade for either the GBA (portable :love) or one of the consoles with better graphics, music etc.

[A.S.H.]

I think they should release FFIII for GBA (since it's the only one that hasn't gotten a stateside release if I'm not mistaken).

[ArrowX]

Does any body remember the SNES Strategy game Metal Marines?
Is needs to be remade!

[Esuohlim]

http://www.g33kd.net/whoreable/uploads/bubble.jpg

But yeah. Bubble Bobble. :(

[Flynn]

They need to make a remake, or at the very least a decent sequel to, Betrayal at Krondor. That game was one of the greatest RPGs ever made, and gamers today should have a chance to experience this game. The story was one of the best ever featured in any game made for the PC. I know they made Return to Krondor and Betrayal at Antara, but both those games were hideous disappointments that were both horribly inferior to the original.

[executioneer]

isn't betrayal at krondor freeware now? :/

-willie

[Flynn]

Yes BAK is freeware, but because of its reliance on conventional memory and the fact that it is a DOS game, it is nearly impossible to play it on a modern computer. A remake or sequel of BAK made with today's high powered graphics would kick more ass than a person could possibly imagine, assuming they went with the same size and scope of the original game.

[soundtest]

I'd like to see a new Blaster Master too

I'd like to see a remake of Blaster Master along the lines of what was done with the Metroid and Castlevania games for GBA (and SOTN). Blaster Master has a similar 'explore, backtrack, get to new areas with upgrade' experience so I think it would work well on GBA with some updated graphics and maybe a map and a save feature.

http://members.shaw.ca/eklund/BlasterMaster.gif

[Blackjack]

STUNT CAR RACER

Remember that? Way back in 1989 I do believe; this game was light years ahead of it's time. Not just your basic 3D racer, it also had 8 tracks all with different ramps and jumps, and a serial link feature.

New tracks. New cars. Better graphics. Better physics. On-line gameplay. Hell yeah!

[Anonymous]

You know they did make a PSX sequel to Blaster Master. It wasn't spectacular, but still...

[pjalne]

There's one for Sega as well. I got the ROM here somewhere.

[Anonymous]

Ah yes. How I forget it? It's even called Blaster Master 2.

[soundtest]

I saw a few screenshots of that PSX version and thought it looked shit and then was told by a trusted source that it actually was shit. I'm talking a remake of the original, along the lines of how Metroid: Zero Mission was done. I've never played BM2 for Genesis though, is it decent?

[ArrowX]

Needs To Be REMADE!!!!!

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/games/coverg/04/605304_full.jpg

[eggyolk]

I'd prefer that it didn't get remade.

[the_dudefather]

i would like it if they remade sonic heroes, and made it as good as sonic adventure. :lol2

i would like to see a 3d splatterhouse (or a gba 2d one).

I would love if they made a next gen castlevania in 2d, with a massive castle, outside areas, lots of weapons and enemies, and lovely high res sprite graphics.

[eva01]

whoever siad phantasy star 2 remake is gay. they remade it and put it on gba not too long ago. i guess im the lucky bitch for getting
it. :)

They did. They called it Symphony of the Night. And then they made another one and called it Aria of Sorrow.

[eggyolk]

I'd like a Wind Waker remake. Without Cel Shading. :lol :lol

[Supafly345]

They did. They called it Symphony of the Night. And then they made another one and called it Aria of Sorrow.And Circle of the Moon, and Harmony of Dissonance...

[drunkbrigade]

Id atcually like to see them make a new old school side scrolling CastleVania, level based like the super castlevania 4 and dracula X games.

[the_dudefather]

They did. They called it Symphony of the Night. And then they made another one and called it Aria of Sorrow.

i mean a NEXT GEN 2d castlevaina (as i said before), i have the handheld games and SOTN and played them to death, (apart from harmony of dissonance, which was kinda crap)

[Supafly345]

The game would be too big, and would be too expensive to make in order to use what the 128bit generation has. And if they fell below the standard of what these gaves have established, they would go broke anyway by being beaten out by competition. They considered it, but realized that it would be, as far as marketing goes, suicide to make a game like that.

[Perndog]

By the way, I didn't include Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance because they didn't involve collecting items and weapons.

[Supafly345]

Well I counted the cards. And you collect items in all of them man.

[eggyolk]

POGS :lol

>:

[Perndog]

Fine. They didn't involve collecting equipment such as weapons and armor. >:

[eggyolk]

NO BUT I CAN WIN YOUR POGS WITH MY HOLOGRAPHIC METAL SLAMMER

****** down! :lol :lol

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I think they should fix the fucking controls on Castlevania 3

[sports]

Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles (PS1/Dreamcast)



Remake this game for PS2 or all consoles. Improve the controller and camera angles, and you have a very good game.

[McClain]

Golden Axe

[jewishcarpenter]

Battletoads

[Schimid]

Streets Of Rage.

None of that Fighting Force bullshit >:

[Freaky Sheek]

whoever siad phantasy star 2 remake is gay. they remade it and put it on gba not too long ago. i guess im the lucky bitch for getting
it. :)

They remade Phantasy Star 2 for the ps2 also. It hasnt been released here yet because Sony wants the 1,2, and 4 together with updated graphics and such.

I would like to see Landstalker remade
or Eswat

[ArrowX]

Teh Transformers NES game MUST BE REMADE

[Notorious Lightning Yoshi]

Harvest Moon for SNES! I see it on Ebay occasionally, and when I do it's too fucking expensive >:

...and Snow Brothers for NES. Anyone else ever play that one?

[MikeSoAwesome]

The Guardian Legend(1988) should top that list. Back in the day it pushed the limits of the NES I'm waiting for another game that over kills the use of sprites like that game did.http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/guardianlegend/image/gs.gif

Can't Fuck With The MSA

Awesomeness is an ability many find difficult to grasp, if you find what I say difficult to grasp(comprehend) you have not yet reached my level of awesomeness
