Remake an old game with this gen's technology. What do you go for?

[Proton Packmule]

For me, i'd quite like KotOR with souped up graphics, a slightly bigger active map (to cut down the 'run through main square, to get to a door to get to a door to your destination' thing) to reduce loading and travel, maybe amp up the combat animations a bit, and add plenty of dlc style endgame content.


How about you? What slightly (or incredibly) dated game would you overhaul, and bring in to this gen? Let's throw out perfect dark zero, and bring in perfect dark 2.0!

Pong. Imagine the EPIC-nes!

 

[Super Toast]

Planescape: Torment. Refined old school gameplay with a new coat of paint. Glorious.

I'm pretty sure there was a pong on ps1. Pretty fun if i remember rightly, but still got old a bit quickly! What would you do to ramp up the challenge? More to the point, would you include a story mode?

What about Andy Roddick vs Pong?
That was hilarious.

Sniper Elite, yeah I know it's not that old but I'd love to see a remake or sequal.

Or for older titles Space Invaders and Missile Defense.

But, for me, it would either be one of two very underlooked games.

First, Image Fight with my personal favorite being the NES version, as played by me here.

Another, being Cardcaptor Sakura Tomoyo no Video Daisakusen AKA Tomoyo's Video War.

I would slay Gods for such a thing to happen.

All i want is a Donkey Kong 64 re-make, with a massive graphical update of course. I want to see a high res Mad Jack =D

Planescape: Torment. Refined old school gameplay with a new coat of paint. Glorious.

This!

Planescape Torment was by far one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The story was amazing, the game play was just tactical enough to keep you on your toes (on harder difficulties) without hitting that frustration point. About once every 3-4 years I drag it out of my closet and play it again.

Mega Man Legends (or Capcom could just say fuck it and make Mega Man Legends 3)

It'd be a man running in a sprawling 3D environment (but you can't turn) with a GIANT round hat bouncing bombs off it into the bombers. The story would revolve around him and his troubles.

The original Megami Tensei 1/2 remade with Strange Journey's map and battle system with some somewhat nice graphics, just to make it somewhat more user friendly.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Hm, maybe MDK?

Actually I think Deus Ex would be very good. Imagine exactly the same screnarios/gameplay/storyline, but with the graphics of the new one. That would be an awesome game.

 

[Swny Nerdgasm]

Beyond Oasis

 

[w-Jinksy]

KOTOR, the game was great and would be so much more awesome if it was in me2/me3 engine.

other than that i'd have to say battlefront, i'd love to see a hd remake or a new game for the battlefront series.

 

[Continuity]

I want the System Shock games remade. System Shock was an interesting game hamstrung by its pre-WSAD key layout, and System Shock 2 has an inexplicable hatred of modern computers.

I run it just fine. But yeah it would be nice to see SS2 with a full (tastefully done) re-skin. They'd have to be very careful not to alter the look or atmosphere of the game though as that is everything.

Hm, maybe MDK?

MDK was an awful game and why would you want to remake deus ex? I suppose you think it would be a good idea to "re-make" the ceiling of the sistine chapel as a laser light show?
Seriously the graphics and game mechanics of the new deus ex make me want to vomit, could they have made it more console-tastic?

OT: on the whole i'm against re-makes. It just doesn't work, the original is just that and will remain so forever, you can't remake that without substantially changing and thus destroying what the game was... take counter strike for an example, why do you think the original is still so popular when it was remade in the source engine?

Final Fantasy 7 with a release for PC.

*crosses fingers*

Final Fantasy VII. Just gotta say it. It's a tradition.
