Lol. The idea of remakes is fresh right now, and it has great potential for getting younger gamers familiar with older titles, but with the rate they're doing it, it might burn out fast...

NukaCola5114d ago

So far the only games getting updates are great classic games of last gen. Halo is a full remake but other than that you get 2-3 games in HD withtrophies/schivements for $40 or less which is cool in my book. If they start to HD up everything I would be pissed, but some games deserve it. God of War HD really got the younger crowd who missed out up to date before GOW 3, and ICO/SotC is well time classics and I havent played them in so long that I couldn't miss out, plus it'll influence others to keep an eye out for Last Gaurdian which looks unbeliveably epic.

Because originality is nearly dead? lol

maskren5115d ago

This is part of the reason why I never want to have kids. I'll ask them if they've ever played Legend of Zelda (knowing full well that they haven't), and will want to slap them when they say no.

I would be a terrible father.

Well, they'll have played Return of Gannon X for the Nintendo-Sega WiiNine by then, and you'll have to be fast enough to overcome their highly developed reflexes from life in the danger room where the holograms make the game come to life.

Glue a N64 to your baby right when it's born to make sure it does :D

Reboots! They want to capitalize off past successes without actually having to create a new game

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9243d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil43d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.

Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit123123108d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx107d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan64107d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.
