No Right Answer: Most Deserving Remake

[thenumberthirteen]

TIE Fighter, hands down. A simple release on GoG would do to be honest (along with X-Wing vs Tie Fighter). The last Star Wars flight game made (that I remember) was Jedi Starfighter back before Episode II came out. It was good, but lacked the "realism" of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games.

Yeah, it seems that LucasArts got away from the "Space Sim" market because it's an admittedly small market.

X-Wing Aliance was the last one in the series, that I'd consider on-par with the older ones. (I'm not sure when it came out, 2000 maybe?)

You played as the son/daughter of a merchant. You eventually join the rebellion, but I'd say about half of the missions were with a mini-millennium falcon (auto guns, or you could man the turrets). I liked that one way better than XvsT, because there was a story. Both could run on WinXP.

Oh yeah, the final mission has you flying the Millennium Falcon on the Death Star II run, complete with Acbar saying "It's a trap!"

As for TieFighter, I recall it having a lot of settings, actually. There were even different cockpit maps for each one. I recall there not being much in the way of texture improvements for going high-res, but the models became smoother.

Does Final Fantasy 7 need to be said? Do I really need to say Final Fantasy 7?? Or is it such a Right Answer that it had to be omitted from this discussion??

I'm going to say none, there are plenty of old games that I love and would happily play through again but they don't need to be remade in order to do that. To be quite honest I'm sick of this whole taking an old franchise, remaking it, doing a sequel and rebooting the whole thing again, I just want new, original experiences.

Although I will make one concession and that would be a console game going to a handheld but even then it's not always necessary as the NES classics on the Nintendo eshop prove.

It's really not even close, TIE Fighter is one of the first and best space sims I've ever gotten into. Battletoads is just another side scrolling beat em up. I would add that the space sim genre is virtually dead, a TIE Fighter remake could really turn things around, all the kids know Star Wars, give em a chance to play one of it's best games.

How about Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Seasons?
Seeing the time travel and season changes in 3d would be nothing short of mindblowing.

Moot arguments because the most deserving remake is Final Fantasy 7. I hopelessly wait for the day SquareEnix pulls their head out of their ass and remembers how to make GOOD games or at least redoes the one that was arguably their masterpiece.

 

[Sylveria]

The only other game that I can think of, would be "Leisure Suit Larry 3".

You sir deserve a cookie.

 

[NicholasT33]

Morrowind or Final Fantasy 7.

 

[krellen]

I miss the Jones sodas.

 

[synobal]

How about a Remake of Dino Crisis, I mean what's with all the survival horror with zombies these days, give me dinosaurs! They can drop out of vents, hunt you in packs and of course the boss has to be the T-rex! Plus the Main character was hot.

I'd love Tie Fighter to be remade but the problem is the game only works on the PC. It was not an arcade shooter like Rogue Squadron, it was supposed to be a simulation of how a fighter would work in Star Wars. From what I recall it used every damn button or close to it on the keyboard, no Wii accessory is going to let you match that. It's insane now to think of all the options it gave you while flying but it was very intuitive once you got it down, double layering your shields in front for a head on assault, then throwing all your weapons power into engines to fly away, using your targeting computer to attack specific systems while telling your wingmates to cover you from fighter support. All that is only doable with PC controls and there's little hope of Lucasarts funding a AAA quality PC only title in this day and age.

That said if it were to get remade, I would like the higher graphics and a better integrated story with voice acting for the player character like the video mentions. The game could also do with some balancing here and there, more AI flight routines, stronger capital ships where you can't blow up 3 turrets and then sit in a blindspot whittling them down with tiny fighter lasers, fighter ion cannons that can't disable a Star Destroyer in a minute. But it's a rock solid game still and it's always awesome to play a bad guy.

A remake of Oregon Trail

 

[Beautiful End]

No, no, no. We have enough Star Wars games as it is. Yet another Star Wars based game would...
*Puts on sunglasses* ...fly under the radar. 8]

Battletoads would be a worthy remake because it's a legendary game by now. No, I don't mean it in the sense that the game is like a piece of heaven. I mean it because it's what people would call "one of the hardest games ever". A Star Wars game, no matter how awesome it is, would not have as much impact because it's well, another damn Star Wars game! Just look at Force Unleashed.

I've never played Battletoads, but I would LOVE to have a chance to play the game and judge for myself. I'm sure it would be nice to introduce a new gen. of gamers to this game too. And like the guy said, you can even add backstory if you wanted, too! (but not a lot; we all know that never ends up well)

Here are my choices for remakes:

-Little Samson
-Tomba
-Legend of Dragoon

Aaaaaand...go!

No question about it.

EARTHBOUND. After the outrageous hype from 3 Smash Bros. games, it would print money. More than enough money to resolve some certain legal issues regarding its release.

 

[penthesilea180]

Aww...Ninja'd by TrippingBowser. An Oregon Trail remake would be awesome. I learned so much about wagon axles and dysentery from that game. My second choice would be a new Sim City, but I'm glad Tie fighter won out. With the UK courts ruling in favor of the guy who made the Stormtrooper helmets, LucasArts is sure to cash in on any old copyrights they still have laying around. This episode of NRA may turn out to be quite prescient.

 

[Birthe]

I'd go for the Toads game, that villian looks seriously hot.

And you are right about Duke Nukem forever...

 

[Curtisin]

TIE Figther. Definetily.
But another game that I'd like to see redone is Startopia.
