hey guys, thought we could get a bit of a discussion going. the topic being; games from your childhood that should be remade. weather just as downloadable games with minor improvements for a new generation, or entirely rebooted and improved.
ive been playing games a long time, sometimes a remember a game that i used to play and hunt for it online. sometimes i get lucky and find one of them, but usually they just aren't fun anymore. expectaiotns are higher now, and we know what makes a good or bad game. so what games do you guys think would be great if remade?
my choices are:
Elite. anyone who has played this game will know just how brilliant it was. even by todays standards, its a huge game. but it was held back by prmitive graphics tech. i imagine the game re built in HD, with space battles like a star wars movie. a real time stock market (that is hooked up online, with values changing as people all over the world buy/sell) some multiplayer elements. perhaps every now and then you run into a PC, and can forge an alliance or duke it out for resources. this game would undoubtedly rock if a decent studio picked it up.
morrowind. okay, so the game isnt that old. but its my personal all time favourite. oblivion was alright, but it didnty have anything aproaching the freedom that morrowind offered. i logged 300 hours playtime, without even finishing the main story arc. the game weas plagued by bad programming (something of a speciallty of bethesda) and bugs. if it were re made, as a special edition atop the newest engine used for fallout 3... well i know id buy it. i woudlnt want a remake, since the story and gameplay should remain unchanged. but new grpahics, real time physics, and better A.I. if it were released alongside TES:V, it would sell a truckload.
and
Deus Ex. a perfect example of a game that was brilliant in its day, but to go back to it now is... meh. with improved AI, a new graphics/physics engine, and expanded missions through DLC, it would be amazing. this is a game that came years too early. it almost begs to have been made during the time of easy bugfixing and DLC.
so what do you all think? i must have missed some obvious choices? what games do you guys want to play again? or think that todays kids need to experience?
