Games they should remake

[cHodAX]

Just watched an old video of Hunter on the Amiga, god I loved that game so damn much and it still ranks in my top 10 all time games for nostalgia reasons alone. So, I thought why not make a thread asking which classic games should be remade.

Basicially list the game, explain why you love it and post pics or videos to let others see what they might have missed out on.


Here is Hunter....

The general answer would be "None" from this lot, didn't you hear the screams of agony on any occasion omen/exorsistisist or some such was mentioned?

Turrican would be interesting though.

LOL some thieving gypo robbed his pushy when he went into the first house

Hunter was the sex, but I don't think it would work as a remake really. Elite would be nice with all the bits that he wanted to do, Brabban's vision of the game was way ahead of any technology of the time.

I'd love to see Moonstone in some mordern RPG form, "not mmorpg"
but in some first person/ third person view...

also loved the defender of the crown aka lords of the realm aka conquer AD xxxx

 

[Ormorof]

Albion! that was the coolest game ever

get those oblivion guys on it! stat!

 

[Mabs]

not sure how far back you are looking, most i remember were good but wouldnt last as remakes..

however

being, er.. 13 years old now !

THIS is such a classic as is its predecessor that it requires a modern treatment


YouTube - Syndicate Wars PC

thats the intro, which i rate very highly especially for the time lots of related links in case anyone doesnt know what it is, however if you dont, you should go sit in a bath of bleach or something

Sacrifice should be remade, just with better gfx tbfh.
Such an excellent game and idea, and it dosen't fit into a specific Genre.
Hope someone else has heard of that
It wasn't much of a success at launch iirc.


Other than that, I think most old games would lose their charm from being remade.

my fav game on the Amiga was Flashbak, really good gfx for its day and a decent storyline

Three Weeks in Paradise
Quazatron

Guys guys guys, videos or it didn't happen!

Commander Keen

YouTube - Commander Keen Aliens Ate My Babysitter!, Levels 1-3

Or maybe its just best left as it was

I'd like to see some Shadow of the Beast I/II done.


But I have criteria: there will be NO MULTIPLAYER OR MMORPG ELEMENTS. just a single player FPS/RPG thing. that is all.

With that said, i miss the older RPG games

I just don't find Baldurs Gate or anything good anymore, all the promising games goes MMO and then it's ruined for me

Moonstone would rock

ps. i was always the green knight, cheatz!

 

[Lethul]

Syndicate, Cannon Fodder, Desert Strike, Baldurs Gate, Elite, UFO.. so many great games

The one i spent most time with was probably Civ 1. Damn it stole days from me! While i was still learning english. Thats why Pottery was one of my first words!

Shadow of the Beast.
It had excellent atmosphere, music, graphics ahead of it's day. I liked it then and I still like it now.

Another game I remember playing for HOURS at a time was Gridrunner on the VIC20.

Dark Age of Camelot........


and maybes stuff like...

Space Harrier... New Zealand Story... Bubble bobble... you know allthose games u played as a kid in the arcades, but unless u got a fiddly MAME emulator cant play anymore. space harrier would defo be due a revamp tho..the gfx were kickass back then, think what they could do now...

 

[Afran]

Goldeneye 64 with modernized graphics =p

 

[Chronictank]

Alien Versus Predator
System Shock
Deus Ex

 

[old.Osy]

+1 on SystemShock 2

very true,
I loved the first Baldurs, I also really loved Daggerfall especially the "mood" in the long elaborate dungeons, loved the colour weapons ! and flying!
never got to finish the game tho :/

I was always the yellow knight btw


Ps: Havent they just recently re-released syndicate or anounced the re-make or some such ?
preaty sure I've read something along the lines recently :/

Elite would be nice with all the bits that he wanted to do, Brabban's vision of the game was way ahead of any technology of the time.

Elite has been remade, with lots of nice extra's, and it's free:
Oolite

It is as good if not better than the original.

Freelancer & Daggerfall.

Freelancer?

I take it you are to young to have played Elite ?

 

[Vintersorg]

I've just found it on the Echo Sector site:
It is Syndicate they're bringin back. Nice

I'm happy, but at the same time a bit disappointed. I was hoping for the "Crusader"-franchise to come back...
Or a new (singleplayer) Ultima would be nice, as long as it's not like Ultima:Ascension

No Sacrifice love? Sadness
