Title: If you can pick one game to be remade for the modern era -
Post by: Randroid on February 07, 2013, 11:54:02 pm
- which game would you choose?

Core game has to remain the same, but everything held back by the times (Visuals, Sound, Menus, Controls, etc) would be brought into the modern era.

Sega's on a remake/re-release kick right now so who know. 

You gotta pick a top choice, but feel free to name others.

1. Sonic 3 and Knuckles - Sonic Generations really sparked my imagination as to what the game could have been if they only remade the Genesis versions.

Honourable Mentions goes to Burning Rangers, Phantasy Star 4 and Eternal Champions.

Panzer Dragoon Saga.

That.

Most Saturn Era games deserve the treatment of NiGHTS Into Dreams (HD Update, Original version)

Deus Ex.

Oh wait, Sega game. Ummm... that's a toughie. Maybe Shining Force III? The full trilogy of course :)

I would love that too (the Shining Force 3 part).  Never played Deus Ex.

Panzer Dragoon Saga for sure!

Also, the Ecco games would look pretty sweet in full HD. Though I'd probably want a Sonic CD rerelease sort of thing rather than a full on sprite to 3D model remake.

The House of the Dead with new chapters with a Resident Evil remake treatment to give it a gritty feel. The arcade version contains two unused soundtracks within the data in the game.

^Why Resident Evil?? That's the last thing I want to happen to HOTD. Why dry out the lightgun genre even more??? We are only getting these cheap Turret Shooters these like Dark Escape... I mean the have cool cabs, but lack any refinement like a reloading mechanism... Instead return HOTD as a glorious lightgun game, shun the turret shooter popularity and win back lightgun popularity!

Zombie Revenge is awesome as well, like to see a new one too. Or Bare Knuckle... Or Golden Axe with Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder's feature to equip weapons on your mount... that was the bomb, Golden Axe copycats only copy the mounts not the equipable weapons.

i think i do understand. so you want house of the dead to have some game that actually makes u the one to move right?
im ok with that as long as the original franchise is maintained

Isn't HotD gritty enough? The stage intros and game intro were inspired by the movie Seven, and those are as gritty as you can get what with the drab colors and dirty film aesthetic.
Title: Re: If you can pick one game to be remade for the modern era -
Post by: MadeManG74 on February 08, 2013, 03:22:59 pm
HotD is meant to be a B-grade zombie flick, not grimdark. It's meant to be
'I'm Fine, but Harry's....'
'No. Why.'

And most importantly;
"Suffer like G did?"

I think I know what Kori-Maru is getting at. The Resident Evil remake for GameCube had graphics that bordered on photo-realistic. It took a game that looked like an effective B-grade horror film and made it even creepier. I can see House of the Dead getting that sort of visual treatment. Being able to see insects crawling in the rubble outside the mansion, blowing off a zombie's head in a glorious display of red mist intermixed with chunks of rotting human meat. It would certainly benefit from an HD remake. That's not to say it wouldn't be a lightgun, because it would. The game would simply have updated visuals and sound. I'm down for that.

However, my first choice would be the original Phantasy Star from the SMS. Updated graphics, sound, and - as an added bonus - the original un-touched Phantasy Star. That would kill.

They kind of did that, well if you consider ps2 modern era (I understand if you don't). It wasn't 3d or anything like that. Just new sprites for everything and updated music.

From Phantasy Star Generation collection? No, I wouldn't count that one. I'd like to see it in 3D with PS3/360 quality graphics. I think it would look pretty incredible.

wait, I thought all we were allowed was an hd remaster ala jet grind radio or SA2 on PSN/XBL.  Nights is kind of a fluke given that the new models were done up for the ps2 physical release.  Sega has never done anything like what you're describing.

Didn't they kinda do it with SF Ressurection of the Dark Dragon?

Indeed. I wish they would apply that formula to any Phantasy Star numbered game

Or at least just a remake. But quite hard to achieve, now that Camelot is on the other side of the barrier.

i played that game and actually without even speaking japanese. just look translation on the inet. its a good game for real. no remake just change the language and bring it out.
but the thing with sega gaga its really a pro sega game against others so no one would like it on another console.

but i love to believe that sega will be succesfull like the game portrays

Why Sonic 3 & Knuckles? Genuine question, just because I don't see how that game could be improved by modern means. The graphics are still nice in a retro way and the controls etc couldn't be improved either.

I would want them to revisit none of them, because they are less talented today than they were when the originals were made.

I was gonna ask the same thing. Like, that Sonic 2 HD project didn't excite me at all. Nothing needed to be improved, not even the graphics or music which are awesome as is.

Really, I'd think Saturn titles which struggled being in 3D at times would benefit most from a remake.

I understand how you feel, but I personally was stunned by Generations' Act 1 for Green Hill through Sky Sanctuary.

I revisit Sonic 3 and knuckles a lot. I would easily pay full retail for that game to be remade in Generations form. The genesis sonic games have an aesthetic that can always benefit from improved 3d tech. They tip-toe around this concept of remaking the original genesis games with Sonic 4, but miss the mark. Generations got it right.

Oh and the music, nothing needs to be said here. They would be godly remade as fully arranged tracks.

Oh oh oh and imagine the 2 player racing mode that Sonic 3 had!

the game is excellent the way it is, true. but it'd still be nice to see it get like a nice treatment for modern days. giving it that fresh experience again. S3k is a huge game(like 14 zones and 3 different characters?) and replaying it never gets old. A game doesnt have to be a badly aged game or an okay game to deserve such a treatment imo. Why not a title thats allready great? i really like the idea of it being done with modern graphics and a remastered soundtrack. For me the idea became especially apealing after playing sonic generations on the 3ds. Not the greatest game, but mushroom hill looks and sounds great. It felt good in a way.

Basically its not nescesary, but it'd still be great if it were done the right way(done the right way are the keywords here). It would kind of like freshen up that experience and make it feel like when going through it the first time in the 90's.... If that makes sense.....

I would want them to revisit none of them, because they are less talented today than they were when the originals were made.
lol yeah and this is why i wouldnt want them to do it. But i was saying it with in mind if they did have the talent.

Super Hang-On

After the rumor of an Outrun 2 style sequel years ago, I've been craving it.  I can't get enough of that game.  Obviously I'd enjoy an HD Shenmue with better controls and I think I'd enjoy a new Sonic R.  The advances in graphics would do wonders for that game.  Hell, I'd take a new AM2 developed Outrun 2 sequel as well.  It's going to be the same game but we've come what, 10 years in graphics tech since Outrun 2?  Bring it.

To me Outrun is kind of done, in that Outrun 2 is a perfect game.

In my opinion there is nothing that could be done to improve Outrun 2, or Outrun Coast to Coast (my most-played PSP game). Graphics would obviously improve, but honestly to me the graphics of Outrun are not super important. Maybe I'm wrong?

Hang on.... now that's my all-time favorite Genesis game, and I'd kill everyone I've ever loved to play a new one on Vita.

Speaking of which...the newest Harley liccenced Arcade game from Sega pretty much plays more like a Next-Gen Hang-On rather than the first Harley game.

Eh that is certainly neat, but Super Hang-On had that Outrun feeling to it.  The music, design, simplicity...it was all part of what made the game.
