If you could nominate any retro game for a modern remake...

[GSZX1337]

Hmm, if I had to pick one game, shit, this is hard... it'd probably have to be...

Shit, I don't know. All of the games I can think of are either remade already, have devs out of business (as is the case with the Valis games), are perfect the way they are and have mods that pretty the game up (as is the case with Deus Ex and my other favorite PC shooters), or have bullshit companies behind them now that'll fuck up the remake (as is the case with the Sonic games). I want to say Doom. I know id Software won't purposely fuck it up, but the game is damn close to perfection that a remake really has no other direction than down.

Streets of rage.

You act like creating a gorgeously detailed remake of those Sega games would be easy? You clearly do not know what the people at Sega do. First, you must think like Sega.

1.)All you have to do is take Sonic 2 and replace the graphics with gorgeous next gen ones? WRONG! You must rip the game apart, insert a character called Barbina the Mind Duck, and create a level hub where you must run a boiled peanut business to gain access to the new levels.

2.)Nights? Are you kidding me? That game needs more than a visual sprucing. It needs platforming levels and a graphical downgrade. This shit has to look like it's running on the bottom half of an N64 and those fast flying levels need to be slowed down. It also needs a tie-in with Burger King. Nights travels to the drive thru: Quest for the whopper. Kids meal toys, ad campaign, and a fruit roll-ups sweepstakes will take it to the top.

3.)Panzer Dragoon and Burning Rangers? Why would, we Sega, acknowledge the existance of those games? They would simply draw attention away from the Iron Man movie tie-in and our latest mascot mash up: Sega Superstars Shuffleboard tournement.

Running a company like Sega is not a simple matter of making games that people want, you have to take the basis of what they want, brutally rape it inside a top secret underground conference room, and then steal mexican construction workers, train them to design games in the 6 week Devry crash course, and let them loose. Don't forget the christmas deadline. . . and, hey, it's already november, Get Crackin!

Holy. Shit. Do you work for Sega?!

[RyaNtheSlayA]

People actually like Sonic 3D blast? Wow.

I didn't know that. To each his own I suppose.

Retro game that should be remade? Links Awakening DX. Remade with HD graphics. Hell Yeah.

I liked it.

As for me, I think that Sonic 1, or Comix Zone needs to be remade

[ThunderPrince]

Recca, Musha, or Crisis Force. While Musha is damn near perfect as it is my eyes would orgasm from seeing it in redone HD sprites. and of course Recca and Crisis Force suffer from tons of flickering and/or slowdown and NEED some sort of update.

Jrecee, would you kindly accept this trophy for "Best Post Ever", courtesy of the Original_Name Foundation?



Like, for real though. I literally laughed out loud!

[Reverend]

I've been waiting for a Super Metroid remake for quite some time now...

[fingersmaloy]

(I mean honestly, how come Sega can't think of these things? How about a "Hey, the Sega Saturn was actually pretty fucking awesome, contrary to popular belief!" compilation, featuring NiGHTS, the Panzer Dragoon series, Sega Rally, Fighters Megamix, Shining Force III, Dragon Force, Virtual ON, Guardian Heroes, Mr. Bones, Legend of Oasis, Dark Savior, Astal, the Clockwork Knight series, Burning Rangers, Three Dirty Dwarves, Die Hard Arcade, Daytona USA: CCE, Sonic R, Baku Baku, etc.? It could all fit on a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, it would be cheap to do, and it would get ridiculously good reviews, thus good sales as well. Sorry for the tangent, I just personally believe that I should run Sega.)

To be fair to Sega, they DID remake a number of those...on the PS2. Nights, Panzer Dragoon, Dragon Force, virtual On, Die Hard Arcade, and I think one of the racing games have all been remade as Sega Ages games. Oh wait, Nights was separate.

A few months ago I heard some rumor that Capcom was working on a Devil May Cry-style Strider game. Sadly, nothing this generation has excited me as much as that. I really hope it happens.

[REPO Man]

* Zombies Ate My Neighbors - a 3D game w/ an isometric view (but you can toggle between that and an overhead view, a la the classic), this version will also add new enemies, a level editor, online multiplayer, and a monster maker.

* ZZT - with a series of premade sprites, as well as a sprite maker and the ability to download new ones, you can make your own top-down game.

* Pinball Construction Kit - create your own pinball tables. Upload your own AND download other user creations.

* Myst series - recreated with a new engine

* Alone in the Dark trilogy - the REAL AitD, not that stuff they've been cranking out since The New Nightmare

* a REAL Super Mario game - like the old-school games. No kicking, no 3D, no freakin gimmicks. Basically, like a Super Mario Bros 3 sequel

* Carmen Sandiego - even today, I love the old games and I wanna see them resurrected on the new consoles. For the home consoles, make them like a third-person game (like a globe-trotting GTA), where you go around investigating the thefts of Carmen Sandiego and her henchpeople.

I'll get back to you.
