Games that would benefit from modern remake

[Unkillable Cat]

About a year ago I looked up the game on search engines and found a self-extractable file for download that installs the game and it runs fine.

Don't ask me where I got it, I can't remember.

I made a post over on the last page that explains my opinion on remakes in general, and I name Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase as a front contender.

As there now exists a stable and fully functional version for modern operating systems, ...

More Info, please?

I remember playing the demo of this that I got on a magazine CD, and I never found a complete version of this game until I saw it for download on the underdogs abandonware site some years ago.

Fallout 4 obviously could use modern remake and new lead designer.

 

[sexbad?]

Doom

 

[Farage]

This might come off as a weird choice, but i really wanted someone to just remake Digimon 1 for the PS1, it had such a great concept and gameplay that would really fit well in todays technology.
I mean, just remake it and name it whatever they want, but keep the good mechanics in a certain way

• Soul Reaver - Legacy of Kain: this one was almost rebooted, and I do mean almost... Here's a 30-minute HD gameplay video of the scrapped Dead Sun sequel that was released on Youtube in March, 2015:
• Quake #1: id has expressed interest to return to the Cthulhu-inspired setting of the original game for Quake V
• Gothic 1 & 2

Gothic 1 - 3 need to be remade
vampire masquerade
fallout new vegas
system shock
early tomb raiders (except numero uno)
KOTOR

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Nope, they're fine as is.

 

[sullynathan]

no. Glitches to fix, engines to be updated, combat to be improved.

The Creed would also benefit from a remake or at least a small re-release to gain some sort of recognition. Honestly, I think there were only two or three codexers who actually played this game (except me, ofc).


Reasons to remake it or re-release it with some fixes:
1. Nice gameplay - something like 'Biohazard meets GTA in cyberpunk setting'.
2. Cool setting and plot.
3. People need more cyberpunk games.

The game is also a bitch to run on modern hardware, with some annoying details (you have to turn off the speech censoring in the setting every time you run the game), and it's almost impossible to obtain today (unless you know where to look).

Arcanum and Kotor2. With actually decent combat this time please.

I cant believe nobody say shits about remake Front mission 1, 2 and 3. Mecha command game is not growing on trees you know.

1, and 2 are Dos era graphic, so it's obvious. 3 is PS1, and it's pretty blocky. I think something along the line of HD remastered shits for 3, rerelease on PC, would be a huge hit.

 

[Sjukob]

Daikatana

Rock & roll racing and Severance Blade of darkness with level editors would be good as well

 

[octavius]

Gothic. Needs fixed UI and first person view.

 

[GrainWetski]

Here's the complete and final list:

 

[agentorange]

Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret

Made by Platinum Games in the style of Vanquish

 

[Konjad]

Nothing comes to my mind, but then, I don't really mind playing games with old graphics, they are fine for me as they are, hence I don't feel that anything needs a remake.

 

[SerratedBiz]

Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret

in the style of Vanquish

 

[agentorange]

Well I consider a remake to be more than just an HD upgrade. And I wouldn't want the game to be remade as a first person shooter.

Just replace the jet boosting in Vanquish with a lot of rolling and boom you got yourself a Crusader.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Fallout 1. With GURPS or a similar semi-realistic system.

 

[croitav]

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri ( bigger resolution as priority )
Elite 2: Frontier ( upgrade visuals, newtonian physics can not be removed )
fallout 1 and 2 ( in divs engine or silent storm engine )

kill yourself.

 

[TC Jr]

Og xcom, open xcom does a great job of sort of updating the UI but honestly the graphics are pretty dated, I usually don't give a shit about graphics but for xcom I'd like to see it cleaned up a bit

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I'd like to suggest PSI-5 Trading Company as a game that could use a remake, except that game that comes close is already out - Star Trek: Bridge Crew.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander is another game that could be called a remake, but it strays too far from the premise of PSI-5.

I would love to see Gold Box games remade in ToEE engine.

Div:OS engine would do too, I guess. Hell, I would even take them as a NWN module.

And this.

 

[anvi]

I need all of these games that got cheated out of good sequels by this shitty business:

Baldur's Gate 3

World in Conflict 2
Hidden and Dangerous 3
Syndicate 3

EverQuest 2 (the current one doesn't deserve the EverQuest name)
Blackguards 3
Carrier Command 3
Terra Nova 2
Best of the Best 2
Strike Commander 2
Space Rangers 2

[ERYFKRAD]
