9 Remasters that Improve on the Original in Every Way

GamesRadar - We sure seem to be getting a lot of remasters lately, huh? You can't go a week without some old game getting a brand new day in the spotlight on modern hardware. But there are reasons why they're so commonplace. People still want to revisit the classics, and that SNES cartridge just won't fit in a Wii U. And publishers, realizing that blockbuster games are time-consuming and costly endeavors, are reaching into their back catalogs to fill the gaps with inexpensive ports.

I have to disagree with Twin Snakes. Changing the boss music and having a different voice actor for Grey Fox hurt for me.

bouzebbal3790d ago

and i disagree with Wind Waker, it didnt improve anything. Triforce quest is just as boring. the game might have been improved technically but not worth buying if you played Gamecube version.

ContinuePlay3790d ago

Twin snakes? Seriously? The voice acting was terrible!

Besides, it's a remake not a remaster. New engine, new dialogue, new gameplay, big changes to controls....

Nucler1003790d ago (Edited 3790d ago )

Agree with Wind Waker man (one of my favorite games of all time), they did a really good job with that.

Really need a Shadow of the Colossus sequel, though I don't ever see that happening lol... :/ .

Summons753790d ago

Well the Last Guardian is on it's way (so we are told and not shown) and in all technicality ICO is the sequel to SOTC... But I would kill to play TLG at some point in my life before I'm 30 (which is still 6 years off so they have some time)

Nucler1003790d ago

Lol yes me too bro, TLG looks so beautiful man. I can't wait until we get an official release date for it.

And woaah did not know that about ICO, probably because I never finished it sadly (disk suddenly disappeared :/).

WizzroSupreme3790d ago

The Last of Us and Wind Waker made near-perfect games all that closer to perfection. Both are among the most beautifully rendered games out there.

Chard3790d ago

Some say that the lighting of Wind Waker hd makes it look worse. I'm undecided. Okami hd comes to mind as objectively better. All it's missing is the song for the end credits.

Video Games That Will Never Release Again

Some games you just know are going to stand the test of time, being released and re-released multiple times over the years, or will simply have a legacy that’s built to endure. Meanwhile, there are other games that, for whatever reason, are simply never coming back.

Aye..this is why Emulation is important.

The Punisher was soo damn good. Nailed Garth Ennis take on the character very well. For me still one of the best comic book adaptions ever made.

neutralgamer1992162d ago

Punisher and Simpsons both should get remakes. That's easy money for whoever does it

Demetrius162d ago

I might have to order punisher for my ps2 soon, I watched gameplay it looks good

Terry_B162d ago

If you like the character, even read some of the comics you might like the game a lot. It was an excellent third person shooter with many nice ideas that fit Frank and even had a nice story full with characters from the Garth Ennis run

victorMaje162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

Where is NOLF!
That they couldn’t find a way to work out the legal stuff to bring it back is one of the greatest tragedies in gaming history.

JunonZanon162d ago

A Hit and Run remake or even remaster would be dope.

-Foxtrot162d ago

Especially if they create one giant expanded map over hubs.

TricksterArrow162d ago

Def Jam. Great and fun game they will never be re-released. There is just no way to secure all the copyrights for the tracks, voices and likenesses used in this game.

Knushwood Butt162d ago

You can stream Heavenly Sword via PS Plus Premium.

hiawa23162d ago

Streaming PS3 games to PS5 is not good which is why my PS3 is still connected. I hope you know that, but thanks for chiming in.

Knushwood Butt152d ago

Well, I played through the campaign of Resistance 3 via streaming and it was pretty good.

hiawa23162d ago

And before someone states the obvious of streaming PS3 games to PS5. Um, no, streaming PS3 games is pretty bad.

I think your enjoyment of Twin Snakes comes down to if you played the PS1 original first or not.

thesoftware730516d ago

Not really, Played and enjoyed both when they were released.

The original was better, but TTS had that Jon Woo charm, and was enjoyable all the way through.

Jingsing516d ago

The original soundtrack was missing in Twin Snakes and for me audio is half the experience. Original OST was iconic.

MehmetAlperTR516d ago

Thats the reason that i didnt like the game... Graphics not everything.

CrimsonWing69516d ago

The only things that held this back for me were Naomi's voice acting and the music being changed when you end Sniper Wolf in the cutscene.

Other than that I thought the cutscenes and game were absolutely phenomenal.

P_Bomb516d ago

Still have my copy. One of the first games I hunted down for my GameCube.
