Old games/series that need to be remade/revived

Post by REPO Man »

First one:

With its pick-up-and-play familiarity working in tandem with its tongue-in-cheek satirical view of television programs and the TV subculture, Gex would be just as much a fit today as he did then.

Today, however, Gex would lampoon celebutards like Jersey Shore and needless pop culture icons like Desperate Housewives, as well as the rise of DVR and on-demand television broadcasts.

And have DLC. Lots of DLC, just to keep things fresh.


Next one:

It's whimsical. It's gonzo. And it's fun as fuckin hell!

I'd love to see the first two remade for XBL/PSN/WiiWare.

And a new game, natch.


Next one:

Image

Like Serious Sam's heavy metal little brother, Painkiller offers a more arcade-style FPS experience than other games in the genre.

I've only played the Xbox version, but it's not 360 compatible, which is bullshit. And I'm also starting to get the idea that Microsoft has NO plans to add 360 compatibility for any other Xbox games (this and Tron 2.0 Killer App are currently on my list).

But I digress.

This game would be perfect for the current batch of consoles.

I can see the first game ported to 360 and PS3 as DL games and the Wii as a disc release.

I can also see new games for all three consoles, as well as the PSP, DS and upcoming 3DS.


Next one:

Image

With the 3DS offering 3D versions of classic games from Nintendo's portable consoles, I hope this gets released.

As a game, it's an action-puzzle game that would flourish in today's age of casual gamers. I can see this on the DS and WiiWare.


Next one:

This game is fun, and I like it better than SimCity.

The DS and smartphone species (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc) would be perfect fits for this.


Next one:

Image

And I mean the REAL Warcraft, the RTS game that's fun as hell... NOT THE MMORPG!

Outside of the Nintendo camp, the smartphone species and possibly the 360 (via Kinect) and PS3 (via Move) could use it.


Next one:

Image

I like it. You like it. We all like. So logic dictates that we should have new games. Right? Right.

So why do so many thing "wrong"? Because they'd rather give up other shit? Too fuckin bad! WE WANT DUNGEON KEEPER!


Next one:

Image

Port this to consoles (360, Wii, PS3), handhelds (DS, 3DS, PSP), computers, and smartphones.

And bring us Policenauts.



That's all for now.

Tecmo Deception(Could do some awesome stuff with next gen technology)
Maximo(There aren't enough cartooney platformers these days)
Strider(Such a badass, he needs a new, modern game)
MDK(How is this awesome universe with its awesome characters not being used?)
Oddworld(I miss the old style, not that third person shooter crap)
Mega Man X(Just give me a proper 3D update to the series that doesn't suck)

Wow, nobody said "Ballz" yet.


I would say "Herzog Zwei" Call it...Herzog Drei?
A new Parodius game would be great, too.

Definitely Panzer Dragoon. It also seems like it would work well with the Wii controls, seeing as how well Sin and Punishment controls.

I've always thought so. Instead, it's supposed to be in the works for Kinect.

If I want to play the first Gex, should I play it on PS1 or Saturn?
