Games that deserve a HD remake

So the title says it all, give ur list of which games u think absolutely deserve a HD remake

For me it would be Shadow of the Colossus, JetSet Radi, still a bunch but I cant think of them right now :P

Probably... Final Fantasy 14? I really want photo-realistic graphics, and the engine for the game just doesn't hold up as well today.

warcraft series!!!

Final Fantasy 7. I would say Chrono Trigger, but I'm afraid they might ruin it's perfection.

Oh no, Final Fantasy 4 already has a nice DS remake.

Well seeing as how remakes are just cash cows and the death of creativity, I thought I'd go for broke.

You can remake hundreds of games, but really one must consider perhaps borrowing from their ideas, expanding upon them, and making them better instead of wasting time on something they've already done and will either receive backlash from fans or not be very good to begin with.

Especially if the only "remake" part one cares about is upscaled graphics...

I don't care why they do it. I thoroughly enjoyed playing GOW1 and 2 again and it pleased me to be able to play them in HD rather than digging out my PS2 again.

I'd like to see a Ratchet & Clank Collection or Earthworm Jim. I'd happily pay to buy those again arther than dig out my old systems.

Same difference. Didn't say a sequel shouldn't be put. However continuing a story that's already been told isn't always advisable...

i would totally play an enhanced Pokémon game. :o

i want to say Final Fantasy games.

but the graphics nowadays with the depth of the world maps would take way too long.

that's one of the reasons why FFXIII was so linear.

Any of the Oddworld games.

I think HD remakes in general are shameless cash ins.savebattery

What exactly is shameless about them?

The God of War Collection actually makes the games better by stabilizing the frame rate and cleaning up the already exceptional visuals. I paid full price for both GOW games separately and I still felt the Collection was worth the investment. There was nothing shameless about the level of polish and effort that went in the restoration of those two classics and I'd assert the same about Perfect Dark on XBLA.

It may be a cash-grab but if the conversion is done well then who cares? Gamers who want a definitive version of their favorite classic get it and those who missed out on the original game get a second opportunity. Personally, I'd slap down 50 bucks to have a re-mastered, HD version of Shadow of the Colossus that ran at 60 fps.

Really? Because Bionic Commando: Rearmed was actualy better than the original and expounded on the greatness of that game in just about every way possible.

The conversion won't always be done well. Just wait until you see another GoW collection and you're sitting in your chair thinking, hmm but this one is already good enough why make another one? and then another will be made and another and another.

You see what I'm getting at?

No, I don't see your point at all, honestly.

There haven't been all that many HD converstions to begin with and purchasing them is entirely optional. All these HD remakes/reboots ensure is that people have plenty of options, which is a good thing.

The Legend of Dragoon, I really want them to either remake it or come out with a sequel, or something. I loved that game.

Oooh, and the Soul Reaver / Legacy of Kain games. They were awesome and I'd love to play them again... alas my Dreamcast hath broken.

Super Metroid, Panzer Dragoon Saga. All that comes to mind at the moment.

Warhawk from PS1

Legacy of Kain Series

Final Fantasy 7!!!

Chickan_117

Half Life 1

Marathon

Halo combat evolved

GTA : Vice City

Duke Nukem

Einhander!

Zelda a link to the past and and basically every good PS1 game. Its hard to play those games, they're just so blocky and pixelated.

Earthworm Jim in HD is now on PSN. Rejoice! meteo_ryte

Wild Arms, Wild Arms: Alter Code F (yes, an HD remake of a remake), and Wild Arms 3

I would like more Lucas Arts point and click games to get the Monkey Island treatment.

PS2:

Shadow of the Collosus

Jak and Daxter games

Burnout 3

Metal Gear Solid 2 + 3

Twisted Metal: Black

Kindgom Hearts

Indigo Phropeshy

Ico

Ratchet and Clank games

Wii:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Wii Sports

Super Mario Galaxies

MadWorld

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

No More Heroes games

Wii Sports Resort

Wii Fit

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Little King's Story

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

Ultima Underworld. Picture it redone with say, unreal 3 engine. It would be awesome.

TES III: Morrowind. It uses gamebryo, same as Oblivion, so if they'd tweak the textures, view range (mods already do this for PC version), enhance the combat system, flesh out the skill system a bit, etc, it would be amazing. Not an easy task and probably not financially worth it, but darn, I'd give my newborn for a Morrowind remake :)

Demolition Derby, destruction in HD would be awesome!

Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake would be cool. Maybe Star Wars Battlefront 2, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, and GTA: Vice City.
