Ten classic games that need to be remade -- if only with a fresh coat of paint, enhanced audio, and optional play modes.
Outdated visuals suck. Enter the high-resolution remake; an effective way to revitalize and modernize classic gameplay for a new generation of gamers or for those wanting to experience a favorite for the second time. For a good example of the subject, think of Super Contra on Xbox Live Arcade or even New Super Mario Bros. on the DS.
Good list but IMO, one game stands above the rest: Doom.
Remaking the original Doom with modern graphics would be more than awesome. Doom 1 is pretty intese and scary even with outdated graphics and after all these years. Can't begin to imagine how crazy Doom 1 would be with BioShock / Crysis quality graphics.
We don't need remakes. We need better original IP's. I'm not disparaging the games on the list. Many of them were genre defining classics. I just think that too much emphasis is placed on digging up the past instead of looking to the future.
Mk there are two sides to that, doom 1 and 2 are class, no doubt about it, but doom 3 came out when there are so many different FPS that it didnt feel any different, now if doom 1 and 2 came out when the market was flooded with FPS would they get the reconistion they did get now, i didnt think doom 3 was all that bad, it felt like doom 1 but in 3d to be honest
but what about Earthworm Jim, Vector Man, and some other platforming legends out there? I would KILL to have Super Mario RPG updated by todays standards.
Better make a comment quick before halo fanboys nuclear sh1t bomb this. Castlevania is the one that caught my eye first(lol) I would love to have a truly good and next-gen one of those and I second the doom comments, doom 3 had me jump once or twice but it was nothing special at all in the end.
EDIT: omg YES! I would love another earth worm jim! Too bad I don't think squenix would ever put out another mario-my second most favorite mario game ever was rpg(first being 64)
