We all know that lately game companies are running out of/too lazy to come up with original ideas for games and have been chugging remakes and sequels.
I say they should remake Super Smash TV
final fantasy 7!
FF7 is great as it is. any remake would just destroy it.
Yeah, there is a probability.
But did you see remake of FF7 opening on PS3? It’s awesome!
>>1
Geometry Wars? Granted it's not the same but it's a similar move with one stick shoot with the other setup.
Apparently Square-Enix said that to remake FF7 on PS3 would take too long and cost too much for it to be even remotely worthwhile. That worries me, though.
A huge company like SE can't afford to remake FF7, which is guaranteed to sell millions worldwide, and has already been made once - they don't need to worry about design, story, characters, battle system etc, just new pretty graphics.
So it seems like no company will ever be able to produce a PS3 game with FF7's scope unless they ignore next-gen graphics and make it look like a PS2 game. Which is fine by me, but it'd never fly in the current market.
I wonder why they can't afford it. I mean, there already are Chara Designs and a Story etc. It cant be much more expensive than a completely new Game / Sequel?
Still, i love the PS Part <3
>>6
That suprises me, I would've thought it would be obvious, I can't see how it wouldn't be incredably successful. Just look at how well FF3 on DS is doing in Japan. FF7 is a big game but I don't think its really that much bigger than any of the others.
I can't remember S-E saying anything about it, do you have a source?
>>8
i don't have a source, just vague drunken memories. feel free to google and prove me right or wrong.
FF7 for the PS3 i hope that square-enix will remake it, its gonna be a huge hit for sure.. same goes with the FFI-FFVI..
SE should really consider remaking FF1-6. personally i have never gotten the chance to play either of them. that is probably why i would like to experience the story with more up to date graphics
so, whats your understanding of a remake?
FF6 (SFC) -> rereleased on PSX and GBA
FF5 (SFC) -> rereleased on PSX and GBA
FF4 (SFC) -> rereleased on PSX, GBA and WSC
FF3 (FC) -> rereleased on DS, PSX, SNES and WSC
FF2 (FC) -> rereleased on GBA, PSX, SNES and WSC
FF1 (FC) -> rereleased on GBA
how much more do you need?
do you need 3D Graphics? Many people say 3D sucks. Just go play the Psx/Snes/Gba versions. these have 16 Bit (like) graphics and that should be really enough to enjoy them.
> FF3 (FC) -> rereleased on DS, PSX, SNES and WSC
wait... what? The WSC version was cancelled, and that's the first I've heard of a SNES or PSX release. It's pretty famous for being the only FF game that was never remade until the DS version.
hmm.. i have stolen that infos from Gamefaqs.com
as experienced before there is a lot of incorrect data on that site. so it might have never been released. you should not trut my post then ;)
>>12
Other than FF1-3, those are essentially ports, not remakes.
> do you need 3D Graphics? Many people say 3D sucks. Just go play the Psx/Snes/Gba versions. these have 16 Bit (like) graphics and that should be really enough to enjoy them.
Because of the types of games they are they could be improved by 3D graphics and FMVs. The one or two FMVs in the PSX versions don't count. No one wants to play the same games again with hardly any changes.
This thread is about old games, and you bring up this console shit? Dear lord. Says a lot about the lot of you.
Anyway, I'd like to see a remake of the old Melbourne House text adventure (aka interactive fiction) game Kwah. Old crusties like me will remember it, it's the one with the three-squares-at-a-time comic book style visualization thing for the C64, with the main character being a superman-style ordinary nerd with a Secret Superhero Identity as Redhawk.
Well, actually I'd just like to see the comic book "paradigm" go somewhere else than the cheesy-ass visual novel sequences in the Max Payne games. Pretty, rendered comic book representations of the player's progress through a 3D jump'n'run game for instance.
Afterlife.
Best citybuilder ever.
Incubation or Albion
great atmosphere for these days
Blue Byte rawks!
A Neuromancer remake by the dudes who did Syberia.
Einhander. Nuff Said.
someone should remake lunar on a handheld, and do a decent bloody job of it this time. lunar legend was a load of arse.
Umihara Kawase
i think GTA should put back into old skool version cause that stuff was funn...
so easy to dodge bullets... now look at it, ur game freezes...
old reliable classics
Someone needs to give a development team a crate full of LSD and acid so I could have a "A Mind Forever Voyaging" sequel.

If they would remake shadowrun that was on the sega that would rock!! I loved that game.
>>20
doessn't need one. the game's basically perfect as it is, and it wouldn't really benefit much from a next-gen makeover
in fact, the kind of jagged look to it is part of the style of the game, i think
Chrono Trigger.
STARCRAFT
Romancing SaGa 3 on the DS would rock my balls off.
remake?...
any of the Downtown/Kunio series!
yep star craft would be really nice, i used to love that game
Mother. AKA Earthbound from the SNES. Heck having ALL the originals translated into English would be a start at least.
Lylatwars. AKA Starfox 64. Enough of the non-rails stuff Nintendo.
Definately remake Chrono Trigger. That was the first RPG I ever played, and it made me fall in love with the genre.
X-COM.
Jagged Alliance 2.
Descent.
Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator.
Bravo Romeo Delta.
NiGHTS into Dreams from the Sega Saturn. That game kicked ass.
No remakes please. 95% suck ass.
I think they are remaking NiGHTS? Or making a sequel? I forget.
DUCKHUNTER
This thread is full of jappafaggotry. Most of the suggested games for remake suck, and would suck even worse as remakes. Yes I played A LOT of the suggested games in this thread as a kid. I enjoyed them as a kid. But these games have not aged well.
and starcraft sucked a ducks dick
Needs more -good- western computer games like >>40 said
>>44
YES! DEFINATELY DUCK HUNT! They should remake it for the Wii, since it's interactive game and they can utilize the Wii controller as the shotgun ^_______^
A perfect plan. You people at Nintendo, use this idea!!!
system shock
Ha ha. Duck Hunt?
Except in the remake they should let you switch the guns so you can use a rocket launcher or something... (that way it can be rated M for mature because of all the blood and guts and all the smelly children can't play it!!)^-^ and the dog should be a robot thingy.... dog. o_O
And... different environments to hunt in!!
Like... uhh... Alaska, Sahara Desert, and Atlantis!
Yes and also...... nevermind, i forgot. O_o
korean eats a dog and a cat

legacy of kain series , specially soulreaver
Kanon. ;-)
I'm still waiting for that Illusion of Gaia sequel...
>>45
If they did age well, they wouldn't need remakes.
And since when does the country of origin of a game has anything to do with how well it aged?
Takeshi's Challenge
You know, I think SH1 should get a remake.
Mostly because if they don't ADD anything or take shit out--new graphics and a redone soundtrack could push the series even further. :D

This would be perfect for the Wii
Yeah, System Shock was ahead of its time - I'd like to see what they'd do with that game now.
Also, Zillion...
Ninja Golf.
Steel Reign. Online play a must.
World Heroes.
the game I fuck a thousand bitchs in a hour!
Tokyo Twilight Busters ported to anything but its original that crashed every fucking minute (read: PC-98).
In before Battletoads.
Segagaga BADLY needs a remake too.
Burning Rangers and Tech Romancer.
Yeah, Tech Romancer.
That arcade tank game TOKYO WARS.
I remember this one arcade having 8 of those things all linked up and it was fucking awesome.
A new arcade/console version with online play would be awesome.
Attack of the Mutant Camels.
I'd like to see a remake of Zork with a better parser.
Airheart, AutoDuel and Captain Goodnight from Apple IIe & IIc days.
The world needs a new Comic Party. Publishing my own doujins was great fun.
Also it would be interesting if someone remade Kanon in 3D using ILLUSION's game engine.
Seicross
All i can say here is:
Terranigma
>>70
I think the entire text adventure genre is due for a resurgence. Granted, it's a niche genre, and nothing would sell all that well, but it'd be great to see people like Neil Gaiman tackle the genre. Sort of how Douglas Adams cooperated in writing the HGTTG game.
>>76
The beauty is that it doesn't really need to sell all that well because it's so cheap to make compared to these multi-million dollar games.
>>76
Well, there is a nice active Interactive Fiction community on the net (see http://www.ifarchive.org/), nobody particularly famous participating though.
>>78
Yeah, I've known about that for a while. The yearly IF contests put out some great stuff.
Definitely Pokemon Yellow, Gold, and Silver.
Terranigma, Captain Tsubasa 2 and Monkey Island 2 :-)
Lunar Lander.
>>80
Jeez, just wait until the next nintendo console.
Commander Keen
Carmen Sandiego
Jazz Jackrabbit
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division
Real games that actually mattered.
Chrono Triggger XD
>>85
That game doesn't need a remake. It's fine as is.
No games need remakes, they were perfect as is. If you touch it, you'll only end up fucking it up anon.
probably the best games i can think of that should need a remake:
Vagrant Story
The First Silent Hill
The Original 8 bits Metal Gear
Alone in the Dark (PSOne)
Pong.
The gameplay is sooooooooo outdated
Only Pong got a remake fairly recently.
what about digger, and alley cat..?
>>89 If we remake Silent Hill, it will ruin it. Let them work on the new SH.
Shogo is good as-is. I would just make sequels.
FATAL! FURY!
Skies of Arcadia. To be fair, the gaming system was a little too standard, and group turn-based battling isn't the smartest idea in the world, but there was just something about that setting and the personalities of the characters that made it really endearing to me. I'd love to see a remake or a sequel.
Skies of Arcadia is recent enough that a remake would be mostly pointless - all it'd add is extra polygons, higher resolution, better textures and a few flashy effects. Far as I'm concerned a remake would only be worthwhile from PS1 era or earlier, because PS1-era 3D is balls-ugly by today's standards. PS2/Dreamcast 3D still holds up reasonably well.
MISCHIEF MAKERS.
