Games that would benefit from modern remake

[MadMaxHellfire]

remakes are useless and pointless.
if the game is extremely old it's going to have barebone graphics, and we grew fond of them. giving them just a new dress would not only destroy the magic but make us notice how often interfaces were utterly terrible and games itself were basic, simplicistic.
i want *improved* versions of some old game i loved. after all i played them already, now i want more. exactly: more. more rules, more options, more variables, more opportunities. raping its rules like in the transition from x-com to xcom is not more, it's a tragedy.

millennium -> deuteros -> reunion -> imperium galactica -> where's the next?


and now for the sinful confession: i'd like a new technocop. the game was crap enough it'd be hard a "modernization" could ruin it more than it actually already was, but i loved it anyway.

I'll second Betrayal at Krondor - just an update to the 3D engine so when stretched on a modern monitor it doesn't look like one big green horror. Leave everything else alone.

Not that they would be better, but it may be interesting to see them "redone" or explored further. A lot of the C64 games: Adventure Construction Set/Rivers of Light, Phantasie Series, and maybe a Wizard's Crown game or two. Eh, I'm sure I'd regret the remakes and probably complain about them, but I think they had somewhat interesting locations, themes.

My version of the same question.

EDIT: Since the post prior to this one was deleted, I thought I'd use the space.

In my opinion there are very few games that are worth a remake anymore. Many of the ones I wanted to be remade (plus a few more that I didn't) either already have their remakes out, or they're due out soon. Likewise, many games I felt are worth a remake are mostly so because of nostalgia.

Many have mentioned the Crusader games, and in the last thread of this topic I said that it was not a good idea because no one would get it right. At least now there's a game out there that comes close - Broforce.

Most remakes I'd like to see would mostly be for interface and graphical updates, but there's also another group of games that were made between 1997-2001 that is tricky to get to work nowadays. I'd say THOSE are the ones I want remade the most.

At the top in that group is a game called Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase - a digital board game best described as Monopoly on a grand scale.

Another high-ranking game is Blood - if only to get a "Classic Redux" treatment like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior have.

If someone could remake those two, I'm good.

Less remakes and more re-attempts, but I'd like to see another shot at the MegaTraveller & Crescent Hawks games. I like the sci-fi rpg settings from that era and the crpg addicts recent go through MegaTraveller 1 made me think how interesting it would be if someone managed to do it right.

Fallout 1 - The Story WIP

Probably going nowhere, kinda doesn't look right either.

Prince of Persia

Already made.

 

[AN4RCHID]

The original Deus Ex.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Most RTSes would benefit. Many have problems with pathfinding, or UI, or framerates, that are relatively easy to fix. Particularly UI could be bad in old games.

 

[Valestein]

Body Harvest from the N64 would be a game I'd nominate for this. It was proto-3D GTA but with aliens and time travel.

It's not just them. Though you are right, it seems to be a "strong" rumor more than a full on fact. I'm just hopeful, GTA in the wild west on PC would be great.

One more year, at least. From Baldur's Gate Reloaded reference, possibly three years.

Original Mechwarrior. An actiony game in 1990 proto-3D is beyond even my old game taste, right next to CGA games. I guess Armored Core is basically that already really but a pretty simple strategic layer of open world Pirates!/Elite/Tycoon "run a small mercenary company" in the (old - I'm sure they've ruined it by now) Battletech universe would be great.

Mechwarrior is a good and obvious choice(MW:O, barf). On that same note, Mech Commander with modern graphics would be amazing. Something like Wargame series, but with Mechs, the RPG elements, and story. Maybe even change it up and have a "Grand Campaign", risk style, with a map of the Inner Sphere, then massive battles.

No need to be so touchy~ The F1 conversion, it take about 2 years before a 1.0 full of bugs. F2 is nowhere on the horizon.

The first Deus Ex would greatly benefit from a remake as with improved visuals, body models, world geometry and better sound design (every time I play that game the footstep sounds rape my ears), but with the original gameplay and voice acting intact.

Deus Ex is perfect as is, leave it alone. The dated look, models and design go perfect with the music and atmosphere. Updating the engine or changing the visuals would ruin the entire feel of the game. About as bad as dumbasses mucking with Morrowind by removing the fog so they can see miles into the distance, which in turn ruins the entire atmosphere of the mysterious world while exploring.
