Games You'd Like To See Remade?

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

What games from the past would you like to see redone with modern technology - hopefully preserving the original feel?  

 

I would love to see the X-Wing / TIE Fighter series redone; I really enjoyed those, and I won't miss having to struggle with DOS to get the things to run.

 

I also would like to see a recreation of Covert Action.  

 

 

 

Have you been pleased by any remakes?  I like the new Pirates! pretty well.

[Cybermat47]

The best remake I've ever played would be Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. It's the original Halo game's engine, but with updated graphics. Really fun to play.

[Creepermoss]

I'd want to see the original SOCOM remade. Brutally hard, no silly jump button, AI that would make you cry, such a wonderful game.

[Matt]

The only good remakes i've seen so far, are the Monkey Island 1 and 2 remakes. They managed to keep the charm of the original games. But i would rather see sequels, not just remakes with improved graphics or sounds.

 

Games that seriously need some sort of revival imho:

 

Outcast

Warcraft (RTS, i read they are actually working on HD versions of the first two games)

Jagged Alliance 2

 

And of course many old and good Star Wars games like X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, Knights of the old Republic (the MMO "sequel" doesn't count for me), Dark Forces/Jedi Knight etc.

 

I would've also mentioned the Thief series, but i'm rather waiting what they are brewing up now (i'm expecting the worst to be honest).

The very first "Driver" which was just pure fun. With new graphics it would be great fun and Beautiful

"Driver San Francisco" came close, but not near enough, it just seemed like the first had great physics, simple but fun missions and some nice touches like the unlockable Gran Turino with red paint work and White "Starsky and Hutch" stripe

 

The only other game is the first ever Tombraider. I don't know what Tombraider anniversary was like, but the original remade completely with new graphics, would be beautiful. The underwater sections, the Sphinx and so many other sections....that would be awesome

 

Completely agree about Thief though, at-least the first two games. Both were ground breaking and also led to many spin-offs including Splinter Cell which took mch from the stealth systems of Thief. I too agree though that although the new Thief looks beautiful, initial testing doesn't seem to give positive feedback that it retains the crafting of the original series? Time will tell though:)

Cheers, MP

Tie Fighter / X Wing, sure why not.

 

B-17 Flying Fortress.

 

Loom ( probably one of the best story telling game ever in the industry... )

 

Bird of Prey ( the NATO vs Warsaw Pact BoP )

 

John Tiller's Battleground Series - ACW and Napoleonics ( using a more visual intense graphics engine )

 

Hidden & Dangerous - was a great great game

[Matt]

Loom ( probably one of the best story telling game ever in the industry... )

I played it again last year. I think it did age surprisingly well. Still very enjoyable, good music, interesting story and unique gameplay.

 

Maybe something for a high-res remake.

[HeavyCavalrySgt]

I never should have left off B-17 from my list.

 

Gunship and F-19 both used a lot of hours in my teenage years.

 

I really enjoyed Elite Forces too.

 

I just ran across my Hidden and Dangerous 3 CD -- I need to fire that up again sometime.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing another version of Starfleet Command - that combination of tactics and strategy was great, but there was always a feeling of playing in a vaccuum (lol).

X-Wing would be absolutely fantastic. I loved this series. But I guess it will never be revived.

 

For the sake of  good memories and old times I would like to see Cinemawares Wings recreated!

there was a kickstarter campaign which failed. What a pity...

[EAF_Paf]

Definitely second Jagged Alliance 2 and Dungeon Keeper!

 

These were fun-days!

The character-descriptions were gold

I would like to see a remake of Av8B Harrier Jump Jet.

 

Meany hours playing that game.

 

That was way back in the days of old.

Core was originally set to do the Tenth Anniversary of Tomb Raider. This was the unfinished trailer that was 'unofficially released' before Crystal Dynamics took over development of what was finally released. Crystal's version was okay, but a pale experience compared to the original. Many of the locations were truncated or omitted. There were a few moments in Egypt that brought a good old smile to my face. Midas' Palace was completely ruined. It was my favorite level. The Core game would have been more accurate and more representative of the old game. If you're familiar with TR1 you probably have no problem identifying the areas depicted in the video.

 

 

 

 

I'd like to see Deus Ex remade.

 

The Legacy of Kain had a deep story line that I'd like to see updated. The original was a top down PS1 release that set the tone and back story of all that transpired in the following three iterations. They also need to finish the story - thus release another game.
