PlayStation 3 needs to survive another 5 years? Remake these games in full HD

GamingBolt:

The PlayStation One and PlayStation 2 are both undoubtedly legendary consoles. Both had some of greatest franchises born on them. Games like Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, Ratchet and Clank and numerous other franchises all started on Sony’s previous consoles.

The PlayStation 3 has really picked up pace in the last few years after the media bashing they got when it launched in 2006. Sony have promised that they will continue to support the PlayStation 3 for 10 long years. So I think it would not be a bad idea to re-develop certain award winning games, using the full capabilities of the PlayStation 3 and Blu-Ray. A very good example of a remake was the God of War Collection. It proved to be a great way to hype up gamers for God of War 3 and the games listed below could really give the PlayStation 3 a huge boost in the years ahead.

Broken link?

The site is working for me

[Hoje0308]

Strange, I guess Firefox decided it didn't like this site.

[PS3OnlyDoesEvrything]

It only does remakes because they have no new IP's

[LoVeRSaMa]

Only does everything your preferred console of choice does not?

[zootang]

"It only does remakes because they have no new IP's"

Oh, the irony. Thanks for that. made me giggle!

well other than sit there n look pretty

jus saying no need to take it personal here man have an agree on me n a bub 4 laughs.

[Hoje0308]

I'm not actually mad. I did have a bit of a grin when writing that. Thanks though, bubs back at ya.

[ChronoJoe]

Woah calm down.

Disagree don't mean shit, if they hit disagree it was most likely to disagree with the statement 'broken link' with the disagree button being easier than a response.

It isn't like you got flagged for trolling or somethin...

[ico92]

Resident Evil collection ? GTA collection ?

[cliffbo]

@PS3OnlyDoesEvrything

signed up on N4G today 6/9/10 hmmm wonder is this Omega4 under new name ?

[Narutone66]

accounts and it's already down to three bubbles, which three too many.

[pustulio]

Is not broken.

And i would love The Warriors remake i loved that game.

[N4GAddict]

A Legend of Dragoon remake would be awesome

[Cratos8780]

still waiting for Shadow of Colossus+Ico HD release.

[Hoje0308]

Even if they weren't planned, I'm sure Sony caught wind of all the anticipation by now. The GOW collection didn't take long to develop, I imagine someone can get updated versions of these games running soon. I would fucking love to play Ico again!!

[jneul]

well I never played the original wish they would release it on psn, for me to enjoy atleast

[Lucreto]

I hope for Okami HD with Move support.

TGS is the perfect time to announce it so I have my fingers crossed.

[T9X69]

Does every video game website forget about the best online TPS ever made even to this day? SOCOM 2 Hello!!!! Give me a SOCOM 2 remake on PS3, and you wont see me until the PS5.

[darkdoom3000]

I never unstood the socom craze. Socom series were never about the story. only about multiplayer. wouldn't socom4s gameplay be an updated socom 2?

All these games on this list either have good story campaigns or they don't have a current gen sequel.

[jneul]

ICO HD is on it's way hehe, also ps3 will easily last another 5 years unlike wii or x360 which are bith in need of replacement

[tmt345]

The PS3 has 4 year old technology in it already. Developers are already starting to complain because they want to be able to do things like tessellations but they can't due to the outdated tech.

And in 5 years there will probably be 1440p in TV's, thats twice the resolution PS3's most popular exclusives are.

[Stealth20k]

All technology is old. But facts are this round of console will last another 5 years at least

Graphics dont make good games and this gen has proved that when the majority of games have such terrible quality and they have to make up for it by releasing dlc....

[tmt345]

Yes your right, it was just the comment saying that the PS3 wasn't in need of "replacement" but the 360 does. I don't game on the 360 and even I know thats a big load of BS... 1 year difference.

[Acquiescence]

Plus some developer could finish off the near-completed Fear Effect: Inferno and make a trilogy out of it.

Who am I kidding, that'll never happen.

[hot4play]

Those Fear Effect games were the one of the best survival horror titles on the PS1. The story was well written. The graphics were awesome (backgrounds were fully animated). I'd love to see an HD collection.

Dino Crisis 2 too! It was better than the first and gameplay was fast! I hope Capcom releases an HD version before releasing a new sequel. (DC3 doesnt count)

[tdrules]

making new games is overrated

[ZombieAutopsy]

I'd trade my Soul for a Soul Reaver remake, but I think i'd rather have a Blood Omen remake as the first one was extremely dated.

[Bathyj]

I thought I was the only one.

This is what it feels like, when doves cry.

[palaeomerus]

I think that Darksiders kind of has that Soul Reaver feeling to it.

They are both "grim fantasy" Zelda OoT derived action/platformer games with puzzles and environmental barriers that open up as you do stuff.

Personally I think there needs to be a Kain and raziel collection from Square Enix.

[darkdoom3000]

Hmm.. This is a really good list.

Syphon Filter reboot needs to happen (no-one knows the story now :/ )
I miss Destruction Derby. I loved doing super takedowns where you get move after move just pop on on the bottom of the screen.
I've been wanting MG classics for a while. I cannot stand playing the 2D ones. It's really hard.
I liked LOD. sadly my 2nd disk never worked :|.
Dino crisis is the only survival horror game ive ever finished (RE5 is not SurvHorror) Plus theres a total lack of dinosaur games.
Parasite Eve 3 is comming for PSP. so whatever.
Yes to Team Ico collection. I've never played either.

[palaeomerus]

We had Turok and Jurrasic: the Hunted this gen.

Personally I want a new Colony Wars or at least a remake of CW 1 & 2.

A PSN remake of Loaded/Reloaded might be nice too. Or I'd even settle for Project Overkill.

C'mon, they already did a remake of Nectaris/Military Madness.

[Bathyj]

Ahh Manhunt. No not the gay dating site, the Stealth action game by R*. The very definition of aptmospheric.

Brian Cox is awesome in Killzone but he's perhaps even better as The Director in Manhunt.

By the way, just one of the many games to have a cover system before Gears "invented" it.

[Bathyj]

Whoops, double posts.
Hmmm what to say.

Destruction Derby, Motorstorm engine, bowl arenas, monster trucks big rigs and caranvans. Nuff said.

[DaBadGuy]

The Legend of Dragoon....oh fuck yes. Fuck a remake just make a new one. I've been holding out for one for years. TGS is coming up isn't it? Oh how sweet it would be for them to announce Legend of Dragoon 2 for the PS3. I don't think it will happen, but....I hope it will...someday.

[ndibu]

Anyone?

[Why o why]

please add halo x y and z to the 360 list...cherrs

[Sidewinder-]

.damn dubble postage

[Why o why]

i downloaded that same image for my avatar this morning and youve already got it....frikin uncanny

[Sidewinder-]

world works in mysterious ways.

[Sidewinder-]

Would deffo pay to play that again. I wish Capcom simply revived it outright, forget the lol-able garbage third game and make a sequal to the second.

Classic.

[Stealth20k]

The playstation will easily last another 5 years as the only sony console and then another 2 or 3 as second fiddle

[Valkyre]

change the word "survive" to "thrive" please...

PS3 doesnt need to survive...that is already guaranteed... (unless the 2012 Mayan thingy proves to be true ...lol)

[Solid_Snakeps3]

WE NEED METAL GEAR SOLID 2,3 IN HD! PLEASE KOJIMA PLEASE

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Nice list didn't cover all of the games i was expecting but still good list.

[SpaceFox]

Eh, tbh most of those don't really interest me, and I dont think it's worth remaking games like Dino Crisis and Destruction Derby. Those are pretty low profile games, and they wont help the PS3 "survive".

But I've love to see Okami and the MGS series remade in HD, and the Team Ico Collection is pretty much confirmed.

[Figboy]

etc, are not up to Sony to produce, but the respective owners of the IP.

from Sony, i'd like to see

Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection (which i'm sure we'll see; Ueda and Sony have openly stated that this is more than a possibility)

Dark Cloud/Rogue Galaxy Collection

Mark of Kri/Rise of the Kasai Collection

Ghosthunter/Primal "Hidden Gems" Collection (seriously, these games were GREAT, and they got no love last gen)

Ratchet and Clank Collection

Jak and Daxter Collection

and i'd be pretty good.

it'd be one thing if Sony didn't have any new IPs, or PS3 titles in the works. but since they have current gen covered, revisiting old classics in HD is great. i'm all for it.

i'm eagerly awaiting the Sly Cooper Collection. $39.99 is a GREAT price for PS2 HD remasters.

i wouldn't be surprised if a few of the remakes turn up as downloadable titles on the PSN in the future.

i'm about 100% positive that the next HD remake will be Team Ico Collection. i'd be really surprised if at TGS we don't have it announced officially for the run up to The Last Guardian (outside of inFAMOUS 2, The Last Guardian is my most anticipated game of 2011).

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Yea Dark Cloud Collection would be great. Dark Cloud 2 is one of my favorite games.

[PS3-247]

I would like to see another Cool Boarders game. That was the only snowboarding game I've ever liked.

PS3 will definitely be around for the next 5 years.

[xtremexx]

Earthworm Jim Again lol

[theroadtoruin]

screw just throwing a PS2 game on a bluray with anti aliasing, if they're gonna do it they need to take a PS1 game and remake it top to bottom.

[Blackfire_x8]

The word 'survive' isnt really necessary at all.
