What Game Should Bluepoint Games Remake Next?

With Demon’s Souls launching alongside the PlayStation 5 to massive critical acclaim, Bluepoint Games’ remake of From Software’s legendary PS3 action-RPG is the first truly next-gen title. While many expect the Austin-based developer should create an original work of their own, we believe that Bluepoint Games should continue to do what it does best. But what game should the talented team remake next?

[Nyxus]

Metal Gear Solid!

[Scissorman82]

I agree! But I thought about it for a while - would the team use the original voice work? Or re-record all the dialogue? I absolutely love David Hayter as Snake but its been over 20 years since the MGS was released. The cast would sound significantly older. On the other hand, could you imagine what they could do with the DualSense Controller? =D

[Nyxus]

Well if they'd rerecord it, they could also add performance capture to it, which wasn't around at the time MGS1 was recorded, or even TTS. Actually wrote down some thoughts on this here: https://www.metalgearinform...

[Sonic-and-Crash]

MGS 1 remake exclusive on PS5 will be definitely a console seller ... if it is done correctly would be a Megahit game.......

A PS5 remaster i like to see (even if its near to impossible) is Resident Evil 1 the original from PS1 ....yes i know has been remastered 1000000 times and there are 10000 versions of the game .....but a Demons Souls Remaster treating of the original game would literally blow my mind....I ve been left a bit unsatisfied with GC Remaster version which didnt really captured original s game feeling/atmosphere

[savedsynner]

Honestly, the voice work was so good, no really need to re-record unless they added content. On the other hand, as the series went on, the scripts became tighter but I could see them re-recording if necessary.

Honestly, it's the graphics and gameplay that need the overhaul, not the voice work.

[bouzebbal]

The Order 2 or Parasite Eve please

[Bob Dole]

David Hayter sounds exactly the same and should always be the voice of Solid Snake.

[xTonyMontana]

David Hayter could still rock the Solid Snake voice. He puts on an older voice anyway.

[Rocketisleague]

The gameplay is completely outdated these days.

[Chocoburger]

They can't use the original voice work at a higher bit rate for a specific reason. MGS was recorded inside a home, and they had to frequently stop recording as cars drove by and honked their horns.

If you were to listen to the original higher-quality recording of the PS1 files (which were compressed), you would actually hear cars driving by and other ambient sounds in the background. This is simply unacceptable as you could imagine, and so Twin Snakes had to have all voice work redone.

If only MGS was originally recording in a professional booth, this wouldn't have been a problem.

[RaidenBlack]

From the list: Legacy of Kain
Personal: MGS3: Snake Eater. Followed by Portable Ops + Peace Walker. And then MGS2 -> MGS2 -> MGS4.

[RaidenBlack]

* MGS -> MGS2

[savedsynner]

Not sure Snake Eater really needs it. The PS2, while primitive by today's standards, still was able to present the game very well visually, and actually holds up kinda well today.

MGS1 on the other hand looks really bad since it was the first 3d generation.

[RaidenBlack]

@savedsynner
...
Then the same can be said for Demon's Souls.

[neutralgamer1992]

save

yes but they need to update those controls and other quality of life features. MGS 1,2 and 3 are should be under bluepoint and let them remake all 3. Not just straight up remakes but adjust story/characters basically fill in the blanks and give characters like zero more screen time

[Scissorman82]

LOL i love how you picked a non-Metal Gear game from the list (even though the list had MGS) and your personal are ALL Metal Gear games. =P Though I will say, a remake of Portable Ops is intriguing. I would really love a remake of the original MSX Metal Gear. That is what we all need.

[Z501]

Original isometric view (w/laser sight auto targeting)
Or.
The Twins Snakes broken fps camera view
???
*I ask because I kinda want a MGS remake. But not a mechanically broken game like TS. The 'matrix' scenes I'm ok with.

[Nyxus]

Remade with 3D camera, and adapt whatever needs adapting.

[savedsynner]

Honestly, if they go with the top down gameplay...what's the point. You already had Twin Snakes for improved graphics. I say make it from the ground up with the Fox Engine or whatever engine allows for good stealth.

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Metal Gear 1 and 2 need it more

[Gatsu]

How do you think the camera angle would be like? Would it be 100% the same or 3rd person the whole way as it's popular these days. I can already imagine people complaining if they change even that too much.

[Z501]

I need that laser sight auto-targeting.

[OB1Biker]

That is what the rumour says.

[Imalwaysright]

Sonic-and-Crash

And why would it be a PS5 exclusive when Konami owns the rights? In fact, I question if Konami would be willing to fund a remake considering where they currently stand in regards to the videogame industry.

[DuckOnQuack35]

Also when pretty much all the mgs games were on xbox

[Chocoburger]

Because Sony would pay for it, just like they helped fund CAPCOM to develop Street Fighter V.
You just answered your own question, Konami wouldn't pay to develop a high-quality game these days, so its up to someone else to foot the bill.

[Imalwaysright]

Chocoburger

Ah so Sony would pay for it because you say so? Well I guess that settles everything.

[Mister_G]

Psycho Mantis controller swap? Not sure how that would work now-a-days :)

[neutralgamer1992]

rumor has it kojima id doing silent hills and will be announced/revealed at VGA. And bluepoint are deep in development on completely remaking MGS

[isarai]

Ape Escape trilogy, or Robot Alchemic Drive

[Scissorman82]

ape escape! hell yes! 100% to this. but wait...hear me out: gex trilogy.

[ApocalypseShadow]

+1 for mentioning RAD.

Still have the game.

[sinspirit]

I didn't expect RAD to be brought up lol. Man was it fun to play. Love seeing games with grand scale from a human perspective

[B68W]

Would love to see a RAD remake. Would work fairly well on a VR platform I would think. Surprised anyone else remembers that game.

[Majin-vegeta]

Legend of Dragoon...fight me!

[SullysCigar]

I shall not!

[QSPR]

I see no one mention a new or remake Parasite Eve, what a game!!! I know is not SONY studios, but come-on Square make it happen.

[metabolicfrolic]

A next-gen remake of Dragoon would make me lose my mind. I love Metal Gear Solid, too, but I would rather see Dragoon remade.

[AlexandreR]

They sould do bloodborne 2!!

[myfathersbastard]

Litteraly just scrolling down waiting for someone to say Legend of dragoon haha 100 back this up.

[Scissorman82]

I'm loving all this Legend of Dragoon support! Come on, Sony! DO IT, YOU COWARDS!

[-Foxtrot]

Metal Gear Solid
Ape Escape
Legend of Dragoon
Dark Cloud
The Getaway
Jak & Daxter
Resistance

[Scissorman82]

The Getaway - now there's a game that brings back memories.

[Batchild27]

I'd settle for a 4K60FPS remaster of the Resistance trilogy at this point.

[badz149]

Insomniac is in-house now. Actually there is nothing stopping them (or Sony) to release at least a collection of all 3 PS3 games. I waited for them for the whole of last gen for a big fat of nothing...let's hope they don't abandon the IP and let us have a UHD collection on the PS5. No need for remake or whatevs, a 4K remasters will do.

[Scissorman82]

That's because you're a smart man.

[thecodingart]

Resistance! Like seriously!

[DuckOnQuack35]

Wow the getaway was an awesome game. Miss that one

[Teflon02]

Good list and while Dark Cloud 2 is my all time fav game and I love DC1 as well. That's the only game on your list I 1000% know ain't happening. Imagine them upgrading the world building. I'd love in 2 if they fixed Balance Valley, Found it dumb that there was no way to get on the pillars without going into creation and coming out. Need to add something like bridges that connect accurately based on Balance. Or even if they only show when it's balanced if the work to make it always adjust was the issue

[ArchangelMike]

Definitely Vagrant Story

[Scissorman82]

sigh. this game isn't mentioned nearly as much as it should be. one of last great titles on the ps1.

[Z501]

This.
Ashley's combat system was so cool. I still have the strat guide.

[Gardenia]

Vagrant Story or Soul Reaver assuming they are working on MGS right now.

[purple101]

They should remake....

"50 cent: blood in the sand"

[Silly gameAr]

That was actually a good game.

[purple101]

absolute classic , running round shooting people with 50:cent soundtrack pumping out,

cant be beaten!! hahah

[Relientk77]

Legend of Dragoon and/or Dark Cloud

[ManMarmalade]

Both of these pls n thx

[ApocalypseShadow]

Syphon Filter 1.

I want to see how glass shatters and how tasers burn on PS5. Would love to see Gabe's epic running and rolling. Lol. But there's definitely better running animation out there now.

[Scissorman82]

the taser was the best part of those games. baking a guy on the roof of a building and watching them plummet in a balls of flames. ah...good times. i think since days gone sold so well, days gone 2 is going to be the next thing from bend studios. so yes, id love to see bluepoint tackle a syphon filter remake! them rolls...XD

[savedsynner]

Legacy of Kain or Soul Reaver

[DFresh]

Jak & Daxter

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

I'd like a socom remake but not like how socom 4 was

[badz149]

Come on man...SOCOM4 was a good game. I love the campaign and playing with the MOVE+Nav controller was awesome! Sure the MP portion was not as good as the old ones but it was harshly rated IMO and was quickly buried by the onslaught of other FPS games back then.

[RememberThe357]

The MP was so sad. Knew it was the end of Zipper with how that and MAG turned out. And I played a lot of MAG.

[Shiro173]

They should do legend of dragoon. Its one rpg i never got to finished but would love if they do the ff7 remake treatment.

[Inverno]

ICO so the whole trilogy is remade

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Metal Gear 1 and 2 and Hogs of War

[azricf]

I think MGS1 is a great choice but would have preferred they remake the original Metal Gear, then Metal Gear 2. Those have great stories but are extremely dated. I think those two have more to offer, especially since we already got a MGS1 remake(albeit pretty bad compared to the original) with Twin Snakes on Gamecube. MGS1 is my favorite game, but I haven't even fully beaten the original 2. I bet 99% of current Metal gear series fans haven't.

[Gatsu]

MG1 and 2 remake wouldn't work for Bluepoint, because they would have to add a lot more new stuff to the story and dialogue, as they are quite empty and dated. Something like that should be done by Kojima, but that will never happen anymore. Bluepoint are good at remaking games while keeping the original feeling.
