old games that SHOULD have a remake (270)

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

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!

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

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?

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.
