5 Games we want on consoles.

There are plenty of games from the past that were not only excellent and carved a place in our hearts but that could also have a place in modern times. Now we don’t think that a simple remake of these would suffice, gaming has moved on and what worked then won’t work now. Games have evolved and as much as I loved story driven, text based adventure romps from Sierra I understand that that type of game simply won’t work on today’s console generation.

So for the sake of this piece I’ve included what I think might be needed to be changed or added in order for these games to work; to be successful both from a player’s perspective and from a sales perspective.

Stunts and Star Control 2 Hell yeah!!! Those were my best 286 games! Other that would be cool, X-quest and the Space Quest series.

... and obviously I'm talking about the C64/Amiga version of Turrican, and not the console versions.

Just imagine a gorgeous HD remake of Turrican for XBLA/PSN.

MarioAna5182d ago

Damn, i'll have to add Turricane to the list of games i missed :(

Was close to including X-COM, but there's some dodgy remake coming as an FPS. Which is just wrong.

Yi-Long5182d ago

... from what I've seen, that doesn't look good AT ALL!

Oh, Syndicate, Flashback and Superfrog would be nice to see again as well. I think there's a rumour about a new Syndicate game though.

Also, even though Sensible Soccer already exists on XBLA, I really think they could do MUCH better if they'd put some effort in: better graphics, actual licenses, and just sell an update each new season for 400 points or something. It could become THE most popular online XBLA/PSN sportsgame.

I was very close to adding Syndicate, but dropped it at the last minute. Still i guess it could work pretty well with RUSE-like controls with Move and Wii, maybe even with Kinect.

Feel free to add a mini-writeup in the comments section about Turrican, never played it so i'm interested.

Syndicate, Ooo that should have been included. One of the best games ever made for PC.

PS3Blog5182d ago

OMG Syndicate was one of my all time favourite games! That in HD I would pay.

Wing Commander series was on the PS1. From WC1 all the way to that abomination called Prophecy. To this day it still blows most games out of the water with story and depth.

Heart of the Tiger was epic.

note to devs:
Please give us more Space Shooters like in the good ol days.

Star Control, my word that was a good game. I think I played that game for hours and hours before moving on.

humbleopinion5182d ago

Indeed a good game, Perhaps the best ever. But this game came out on consoles - the 3DO to be exact.
Now that the source code is offered, it's a game that everyone who call themselves gamers can play.

I already had my wish fulfilled (Monkey Island)

anthem5182d ago

I would like to see Steel Empire or better yet General Chaos I use to spend hours on these when I was a kid.

Darthdad5182d ago

Intellivisions "B-17 Bomber".
I loved that game, and with the power of consoles today, it
would be awesome.

Hordes of Hunger Review | NoobFeed

NoobFeed editor Daman writes - Hordes of Hunger is a blast that will bring back fond memories of games of your childhood. However, there are some rough edges, and it lacks depth at the moment, so you can expect to breeze through it in a single sitting.
