PS2Home: "Before consoles had access to extremely large maps allowing you to roam around at your leisure, there was “Smuggler’s Run”."
Rockstar Games are notorious for a select few games - but little do people know they actually have a wide selection of video game series other than Grand Theft Auto, L.A. Noire and Red Dead. This list is for 5 Rockstar Games titles that need another chance, whether that's through a reboot, remaster, or even a sequel.
Manhunt. Definitely Manhunt. That game was a cult classic.
Unfortunately, if Rockstar released Manhunt with today's graphics technology it would be the equivalent of a snuff movie, an the media hate would bury the game. Heck I can't remember how many countries it was banned in. I know Manhunt 2 got banned in so many countries Rockstar had to censor the game to the point it became something else. But yeah I would love a remake of Manhunt.
Personally I loved Max Payne 3, I'd love to see a remaster of that for next gen consoles as well.
The original was banned in my country but I got to buy it digitally for PS3 from a US PSN account last gen. Using a fibrewire to decapitate an enemy, then throwing their head as a distraction was pretty funny.
I hope they rerelease Max Payne 3 on current consoles. It’s still one of my favorite 3rd person shooters and I’d love to get back into some slomo action online again
EqualOpportunityFanboy.com will be doing a weekly feature on older games that everyone should still be appreciating for the influence they've had on the gaming industry. This week: Smuggler's Run
but.......I fkn LOVED this game! If there was ever a re-make, I'd pay handsomely for it.
We would sit and just drive for hours at the place I worked at. People would sit around just watching someone drive around:
Exploring the terrain.
Running over the backpackers.
Crashing into things.
Trying to jump your vehicle onto the train.
Angel had some incredibly talented engineers back then.
Me and my brother played 'unofficial' tag in multiplayer. I never even played the 'real' game now that I think about it.
Still, even just free roaming with my brother and doing crazy stuff, this game left a huge positive memory right in the middle of this gamers brain.
I think I'm gonna go to gamestop(ugh) and buy this tomorrow, I'm sure they have it.
good grafix at the time and fun to drive around but the actual game wasnt that good. I didnt like diving to smoke and then having cops keep crashing into me.
loved this, man. huge maps, huge jumps, off road mayhem. i would love a #3 and a 4X4Evo 3 pleaseee.
