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

someone should remake lunar on a handheld, and do a decent bloody job of it this time. lunar legend was a load of arse.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Heh, graphically clunky? Frankly, being in 3D allowed Square to tell that story in a way that couldn't be done on the SNES. And face it, nearly every game up to and beyond FFVII was "graphically clunky" to a fault. it's just how games were back then. But look on the bright side. ... They (gaming industry as a whole) did get better about it. Does FFVII need a remake? Of course not. What could a remake to a modern game like that do that would enhance it? "Nothing"'s the only right answer there.

I want to see a remake of Colony Wars. I remember that game being pretty fun. If someone could make Omega Boost a good game, that'd be nice to see too.

Isn't FF just a few hours of FMV with a few minutes of gameplay? And perhaps 10 seconds of unique gameplay, which is to say that once you've seen one menu you've seen them all.

Heh, a few hours of Square's FMV would be fantastic, they really are skilled about it. But alas, that's not the case. I think in the FFs I've played, there probably isn't more than a half hour's worth of actual FMV to watch, though there's tons of cutscenes. And menu-based combat is old like you suggest, but Square does change it up every game as of late, to keep it from getting boring. FF7 had the Limit Breaks and the materia system, FF8 had that Draw system, and so on. Personally, FF has never been about the gameplay in the first place.

Actually square is planning of a prequel to FFVII for psp. I am not sure about the name or if it is already out.

One thing is sure, we all dreamed of fighting along with Sephiroth. Now we can!

118 Name: Anonymous Gamer : 2007-09-23 19:14 ID:S5EqvrVs

>>117

it's called Crisis Core, I think it's out in Japan, but not the US. And you don't get Sephiroth, you play as the Turks -- Reno and Rude.

>>109

I think FF7 as well as a lot of other games got more credit than they deserve because they were 3D. FF7 wasn't all that. After you leave Midgar, 80% of the quests were "Hey dumbass, Sephiroth went thataway!" "ZOMG We have to get Sephiroth". That isn't a mindblowing story. Shinra and the Turks were much more interesting, but they were dropped for the most part after the first 5 hours.

The cast of characters were pretty bad.

I don't see what everybody likes Aeris for. She's one of those sickeningly sweet characters that have no thoughts of their own. She existed to be cute, and if Sephy hadn't killed her, I think I'd have wanted to. Josef (FF2j), Tellah (FF4), and General Leo (FF6) were better. They had actual thoughts and opinions, they had a reason for being around.

Barret came off like a Stormfag's wetdream -- a jive-talking dumbass negro stereotype with questionable parenting skills (Hey 4-year old Marlene, watch my bar. I'll be back... someday), poor self-control, and a gun welded to his arm. Way to go Square.

Tifa had no personality, and neither did Cloud. They had a nice little acid trip backstory, but even then, Cloud just never seems to have a personality. He doesn't seem too upset to find out his life is a lie. He's pretty matter-of-fact even after his supposed girlfriend is stabbed through the heart.

I never said that you play Sephiroth, I heard that you fight along with Sephiroth as Zack. But anyway a friend told me that, so I guess you know better.

As for all the rest. I kind of agree with you but I also think that you have a prejudice for FF7. Yes FF7 was one of the first "3D" and it also had those FMV videos (I am not sure about the name) I also think that FF7 became so popular because it was one of the first rpgs all those people ever played. Usually the first thing you play you get attached to it. Furthermore, FF7 may not had the most interesting cast of characters but it definately had fun gameplay because of the awesome materia system and the battles, which also was so different of the repetitive class system the previous had. Anyway FF7 was great and there is no doubt about it.
