Games that need to be remade or re-released in HD.

Deus Ex - common request. Rebuild it in the DX:HR engine and let it fly

I think taking ME 1/2/3 and rebuilding them all into 1 game could be cool. Retardedly massive, but cool.

Morrowind - rebuild this in the Skyrim engine

Mechwarrior games - rebuild them all in CryEngine3, mechs look awesome. Just look at Mechwarrior:Living Legends and the upcoming Mechwarrior MMO game.

Jade Empire, Baldur's Gate, Bully, Phantasy Star IV, Final Fantasy VII(obligatory), KOTOR1 and 2 :D

I'd love to se HL1 remade to fit the gameplay and visual styles of the newer games. It'd be nice to actually SEE Kleiner and Vance there and talking, not just pretend it was them after the fact.

Terranigma needs a 2.5d upgrade, but also released in North America to boot.

I'm getting rather tired of people asking for remakes of KotOR or somesuch. A remake is only appropriate when the old technology of the game prevents people from enjoying it properly today! KotOR hasn't got that problem. It doesn't look like shit, it's aged very well! Not that it has had to age very much seeing as how it's not that old.

Deus Ex is a prime candidate for an HD remake, because it looks like balls. I know we're all supposed to go "Graphics don't matter, it's the gameplay blah blah blah", but the fact that it looks like balls is quite detrimental to my enjoyment of the game.

On the flipside, the HD remake of Shadow of the Colossus was bloody stupid. Not only is that game a mere six years old, it's usually regarded as one of the best looking games of the last generation. There is nothing in that game that prevents people from enjoying it.

Now, what I'd like to see remade is the X-Wing games, because, with the possible exception of Alliance, they've all aged like milk.

The 3 PSX Spyro games.

The main 3 PSX Crash games plus Crash Team Racing.

A RARE HD collection would be amazing! COkers Bad Fur Day and Banjo Kazooie and Tooie would be fantastic. And the Conker:Live and Reloaded had great visuals and was a good remake (except the multiplayer) But imagine the potential graphics on a current or even next gen console...

80Maxwell08:
Well there's a reason for the ending being bad. When it was near completion but still not done LucasArts shipped it anyway and refused Obsidian the right to make a patch to add in the unfinished content. Also Obsidian only had a single year to work on it anyway.

From what i've heard it was actually closer to 9months not a year, I'm suprised it actually worked. But if they remade it I would be the first to pre-order it. That game was amazing.

Okami! That game still looks beautiful but I love love to play it upscaled and more crisp.

Rereleased in HD:

Xenoblade, Zelda: Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, Okami, and the PS2 Yakuza games:

For the same reasons. It would clean up the worst of their graphical problems (namely jaggies) and truly make them some of the best looking games ever made, even by today's standards. These games do so much with the systems they're on that honestly, all they need is touch-up.

Completely re-made for HD consoles:

Deus Ex in the DXHR engine. Really wanna see that game fully realized in HD graphics. Gameplay can stay the same as ever, just make it super detailed and noir like Human Revolution.

Morrowind in an engine like Skyrim's but slightly tweaked to allow for all its original stats...enough said...I miss Vvardenfell so much, and I don't wanna miss with every blow at the start!

These are common requests but my god would I kill for these.

Lufia II was remade for the DS. Sadly not released in Europe...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufia:_Curse_of_the_Sinistrals

It's an action RPG rather than the original game, but I've heard it's pretty good. Also I have to agree that both those games should be remade. Great games both of them.

you heard wrong, the VO is horrible, the changed Maxim's character (he's something of an idiot in the DS remake) changed weapons for no reason (Tia uses a suit case now),and combat is very dull, they also took away the world map, so there no wandering around the map anymore.

your better off with the SNES version, its better in pretty much every way

OT:

Seiken Densetsu 3

no HD face lift, just re-release it, on SOMETHING GOD DAMN IT >.<

Starcraft with brood war added in. and just up them to Starcraft 2 graphics and leave everything else the way it is (current patched version of course)

This might be cheating a bit but Demon's Souls so it can go to Xbox360.

I would love to see Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 remade into 3D games with cutscenes, voice acting, and the first person aiming you find in the later installments.

Most of the PS2 games I thought would be good in HD have already been made into it, God of War II, Prince of Persia, Shadow of the Colossus, and Metal Gear Solid 3.

For the future, I'm just waiting for them to announce a Grand Theft Auto HD collection.

"On the flipside, the HD remake of Shadow of the Colossus was bloody stupid. Not only is that game a mere six years old, it's usually regarded as one of the best looking games of the last generation. There is nothing in that game that prevents people from enjoying it."

I got it for 4 bucks brand new. I sold my PS2 a few years ago so and my PS3 doesn't play PS2 games.

Now that was the biggest disappointment of the day. Oh well, the SNES versions are still some of my favourite games and I guess I will stick with them then.

Not sure about remakes and re-releases, but I'd love to see another Road Rash and Sunset Riders.

As someone already stated, Lufia 2. No, the DS remake DOESN'T COUNT. It's nowhere near the same game.
Also: Summon Night Swordcraft Story.

I'd kill for a Legacy of Kain HD collection, assuming it had every game of the series. Except maybe Blood Omen 2, as it's not canon.

:( least you didn't have to pay money to find out :( i did.

Star wars: Battlefront 2

Just imagine it. Not only would it look brilliant but it would also mean that mutliplayer would be back online. Yeh.

Kingdom Hearts 1+2+RE: Chain of memories, Final Mix versions.
Grand Theft Auto 3+Vice City+San Andreas.
Digital Devil Saga 1+2 and have them in one game if possible and add SMT Nocturne while you are at it.

That's it for me. Also, what has Silent Hill HD collection done to earn everyone's ire?

Ocarina of Time on either Xbox or PS3.

That and Kingdom Hearts.

Ronin Blade/Soul of the Samurai.

One of my favourite games, a great little PS1 gem. An action game with slight survival horror vibe set in Edo-period Japan that has you playing as a Ronin or Ninja trying to stop the ambitions of an evil lord who plans to unleash monsters and shit to take over the land.

Had a kickass soundtrack too.

The only collection I was missing was Ratchet & Clank, but it's coming soon, so I'm satisfied!
Wouldn't mind seeing Dark Chronicles released though. Had it for PS2, but it got destroyed when I tried to fix my broken console by throwing it in the floor. Never got very far because I didn't really understand the game. First time I encountered that type of gameplay(like action rpg irrc).
Don't remember if it was good or not, but in my mind it's pretty nostalgic to think about it.

Yeah... about that... Talking about it made me want it, so 5 minutes after I posted my first post I went to eBay to see if I could find a seller shipping to Europe. I did and I bought it... Well, thanks for the warning anyway. Hopefully I will get some enjoyment out of it...

Homeworld 1 and 2.

1 because I haven't played it and want to.
2 because it was awesome and should get an overhaul.

I guess everything that I'd like was already said. I'd really love a Deus Ex overhaul cis other than games like Doom or System Shock, It aged like a Banana. Which is to say very, VERY poorly. But just the Graphics please, leave the Game alone!Well maybe give us mappaple Quick Implants, but that's it!
Other than that I'm still waiting for Black Mesa and a both the original Blood Omen and Soul Reaver would be really nice. And Tie-Fighter, that would fuckin rock!

i...what? what is wrong with you people? deus ex yes, because it looks like complete ass and is woefully obsolete technology wise (even though it would never happen because that kind of content-packed complex-gameplay would never fly in the current gen). KOTOR 2 yes because it was unfinished, but Re4? mass effect? are you f**king serious?! the things you want improved barely qualify as an EVE online content patch, not a whole re-release. not to mention the fact that you want a remake of a game IN THE CURRENT CONSOLE GENERATION. does that not strike anyone else as a bit indulgent?! a bit... buying into the practice of publishers releasing the same game again in HD because people are so hopelessly enslaved to the advance of technology that any trivial improvement somehow justifies buying the same thing again? do you want every game to be like street fighter, with a new super-ultimate-turbo edition every year?

there are absolutely ZERO games that NEED a re-release or remake. a few gems of yesteryear could use updates so that the current generation could appreciate the classics, but modern trends have a habit of fucking up any attempt to revitalize things from other eras of time. see: duke nukem, x-com FPS, the entire modern movie industry with its endless stream of nostalgia-exploiting shitty remakes and adaptations...

the only games that could be updated with acceptable changes are games that are modern enough to have no reason to be updated.

The Witcher 1, in the style of The Witcher 2.

Buchholz101:
Ocarina of Time on either Xbox or PS3.

Yes, Nintendo should totally let their rival companies profit from their IP. This is exactly how they'll make enough money to keep themselves in business.

No. Really. What are you smoking?

In all seriousness, if games deserve remakes, it's the N64/PS1 era. These are easily the worst looking games ever. I mean, compare SMW to SM64. SMW was SNES but was more aesthetically pleasing since it made 2D look good instead of a bad, unpolished 3D.

i would be all behind a hd remake of kotor

also a hd remake of lost kingdoms 1 and 2, dear god i would love that
and any pokemon game with full 3d graphics

I would throw my wallet at Microsoft for an HD remake of Halo 2. Not a half-assed semi-remake like Halo Anniversary. I mean an honest-to-God 100% authentic remake of Halo 2. Glitches and all.

MY MONEYZ. TAKE THEM.

Psychonauts has it's own unique style of visuals but it could still use an HD re-release.
Silent Hill 1 and 3 should be remade and streamlined together on a single disc.
Silent Hill 2 and 4 should get a similar treatment as they are connected as well.
Silent Hill Origins should get a complete overhaul from head to toe, with more story details.
Timesplitters 2 and 3 should get an HD re-release and streamlined together on a single disc.
Deus Ex Human Revolution should be remade.
Bully should get an HD re-release for Ps3 with some extra bells and whistles.
Half-Life should get an HD re-release.
Gauntlet Dark Legacy should get an HD re-release.
Fatal Frame 1, 2, and 3 should be remade and streamlined together on a single disc.
