Title: Remakes/ remasters you ACTUALLY want
Post by: The Sceneman on January 25, 2021, 07:22:28 PM
Seems like half of the games coming out are just uprezzed/optimised versions of games that arent even 2 years old yet. Its time for game devs to cut the shit and give us actual necessary remasters.

My picks:

- Castlevania SotN ultimate edition incl. 1080p to 4k upscaling, Sega Saturn features, selectable voice tracks and Rondo of Blood included

- Skies of Arcadia HD. Was an absolute crime this never happened due to lots of other Sega's first party DC shit came to XBLA. Its not too late though Sega, do it.

- Entire Suda 51 backlog, Killer7 and the NMH games on Xbox pls

I really wanna see Breath of Fire 3/4 get the Grandia treatment. It's a shame that Capcom has abandoned the series and seemingly doesn't have any interest in ever bringing it back again.

remaster: metal gear solid 3, hard corps: uprising, wipeout series (maybe just 2097? or 3? one of the psx games anyway, maybe an amalgamation of all 3)

remake: jonah lomu rugby

wouldn't be surprised if bend try to reboot the syphon filter franchise. i'd prob replay an original syphon filter remake. loved tasing enemies 'til they burst into flame and dem running animations :phew latter half (quarter?) of the game was pretty bad from memory. played a bit of 2 and 3 also, but not very strong memories of them. the original was one of my favs for years.

Zelda 2 remake, completely new graphics and expanded world and gameplay ala Samus Returns.  Use a stained-glass aesthetic for the visuals, massage some of the rough design elements and tighten up the controls/UI.

Chrono Cross remaster or remake. Game is great but it’s 3D graphics are held back by the ps1.

Dragon Force remaster/port.  I missed this one due to it being a Saturn game.

Shining Force 3 scenarios 1 - 3 - I've only played scenario 1 (the only one released in English) and it was great. Remakes of these 3 games (plus let's throw in the omake disk too while we're at it) would make it much more likely all 3 parts will be localized this time around.

Panzer Dragoon Saga - amazing game with brilliant art direction, held back by the Saturn's technical ability and a high cost of entry for those who wish to play it.

I'd be fine with bundling all 5 games (6 doesn't exist. Seriously.) on one disk. Capcom loves their compilations, and they're no stranger to re-releases of the BOF series (1 and 2 on Switch, 3 and 4 on PS3/Vita)... just go ahead and BANDORU them all together. Maybe more people will take a second look at BOF5 and start to appreciate it as a game ahead of its time.

Some sort of remastering of Grand Theft Auto 3. I don't want the city changed, the scope and scale of the game, or the general vibe. I'd love for the character models to keep that sort of abstract pulpy noir comic look. I want the same tone and missions, no real changes to the story. I just would like the visuals to look better and also the game play like a decent TPS.

I wish Asura's Wrath had a remaster. Cleaned up visuals and 60fps would really show off the great art and animation.

Ace Combat 3 being remade would be a miracle. Especially, if they could retain the 90s anime aesthetic.

Remaster of Silent Hill 1-4 done right. (I know they only did 2 and 3, but it was sloppy).

No One Lives Forever 1 + 2

About that. First of all, yes. These games need help even on the PC. Maybe someone knows, but I have it in my mind that both games don't play nice with modern PCs. Fan patches help, but still some odd bugs and issues that wouldn't be acceptable if a game was actually released like that.

But also, isn't the series stuck in legal rights limbo?

I mean the remasters I wanted the most were:

MGS2/3 - Got 'em
ZoE2 - Got it
Ratchet Collection - Got it
Jak Collection - Got it
Sly Collection - Got it
Crash collection - Got it
Tony Hawk 1&2 - Got it
SoTC - Got it
RE1 - Got it
RE2 - Got it
Romancing Saga - Got it
Ocarina of Time - Got it
Majora's Mask - Got it
Demon's Souls - Got it
Nier 1 - Getting it
FF7 - Uh, I didn't ask for this, but sure I'll take it.

I've pretty much gotten every classic game remade/remastered that I think still holds up gameplay-wise but can use a new coat of paint.

Like if we can talk crazy ass shit that isn't ever going to happen I'd go with Xenogears remake. If we're talking possibly realistic I guess Tony Hawk 3+4? Otherwise I really can't think of much. They've done a good job remastering/remaking the games that need it by now.

Actually fuck that, I'm going with Silent Hill 1.

Maybe Silent Hill 2/3 as well afterwards.

I totally agree on your point here, but sadly I feel like in a lot of cases it's publishers checking to see if there is any interest in a new game in the series, so lets just slap a coat of paint on this old girl and let's see if anyone still wants to check her out
