Probably one of the questions a non-gamer should never ask a veteran die-hard gamer: You'll never get them to shut up. Fortunately we're in a gaming community, so type away...
The following games should spesify games that deserve a remake, or maybe even a sequel...
(reserving my opinions since you probably won't get ME to shut up...)

2. Autoduel - by Roedie

I'd like to see a remake of Autoduel. Also I wouldn't mind if Bitmap Brothers actually released Speedball Arena, but it's probably vaporware by now, just like Duke Nukem Forever.

But there are already three Shadowrun RPGs. One for SNES, one for Genesis, one for Sega CD. They are all totally different games. Dunno about the Genesis one, haven't played it, but SNES and Sega CD ones rule.

Actually, I said Sequel, not remake.

That wasn't me. I haven't even played Speedball Arena.

-Colonization surely deserved a sequel by now, IMHO it is far better than Civ;
-Road Rash is a game that would really take advantage of newer techs, but only if there's some effort on push the quality of the game up. I guess that movie (Torque?) failed to do for motorcycles what The Fast And The Furious did for street racing.
-California Games
-Fighters Megamix, with 128 fighters from Sega's 8-bit days to yesterday
-Return Fire
-Constructor is one of those games that has a fantastic potential, but while the first still is great fun, it could be use some tweaks

Ooooh, another one. Theme Hospital. While I already love the first one, it still could use some tweaks here and there.

Those old games from Apogee would look nice if they were remade. Games like the first three Commander Keen games, Duke Nukem, Secret Agent, Crystal Caves, and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, to name just a few.

I'd love to see update/sequel/remake of Anachronox.
At the very least I'd be happy with a patch to fix the #!%!@# bugs...

Remake:
• The first Legacy of Kain. The "battle of the last stand" alone has all the potential for some jaw-droppingly epic visuals.
• Sanitarium. It could have been a very effective mix of horror and emotion if it weren't for the incredibly crappy visuals (most especially the truly unfortunate perspective) that -at least in my case- prevented any true immersion in the story.
Sequel:
• I'm with everyone that said Clive Barker's Undying. One of the top-3 most outstanding horror atmospheres ever.
• Silent Hill 2. I know, I know, there IS a Silent Hill 3, and even a 4; but I want a game that follows the Brad Anderson-ish storytelling style of SH2, which is quite and oddball in its own series.

Okay, add mine...
Remakes - Ultima IV (kneel and pray!), Ultima V, Ultima VI, Shin Megami Tensei (make it with 360 degree camera in full 3D, guys!), Xuanyuan Jian (the first one, give it some respect!), Live a Live (too good to be true, make it even more beautiful!)... just a few to mention.
Sequels - SHENMUE, damn it!!, Xuanyuan Jian (gimme more o' those!), Ultima (single player, please, please!), Phantasy Star (same here), Last Express (more real-time adventuring!)...

[Q --start D Michael wrote--]a remake of Full Throttle might be cool. [/Q --end D Michael wrote--]It nearly happened, in fact. The game was well into development until LucasArts cancelled it some time ago. I'll dig around for the press release if you're interested. Sam & Max 2 also fell to the same end.
Anyway, to the point at hand, I'd love good old Sid to develop a sequel to Alpha Centauri. After the success of Civ 4, it makes senes to revisit the sci-fi world.

Right, the original version was Japanese DOS (PC-88), and it didn't have the third acr. The Sega CD version is the best around, no doubt about that. But I also wouldn't mind an all-3D remake of the game... with some REAL movement in the game world and exploration, damn it, instead of menu choices! :))
Unicorn Lynx (181772) on 3/20/2006 4:01 AM · Permalink · Report
Nope, Sega CD version is in English.
Gonchi (3590) on 3/20/2006 5:36 AM · edited · Permalink · Report
I was talking about the PSOne and Saturn remakes, and the original for that matter; they were never released in English, only the Sega CD Version was, that's the version I want a remake of, being as it's the only version I've played...
So... a remake of it (the Sega CD version, for clarity's sake), with fancy new graphics, redigitalized and remixed (or whatever it is they call it) sound and music, in a language I can understand or at least with subtitles in a language I can read, for the PC, is what I want...
Was that clearer?
EDIT: Apparently SD Snatcher was also translated to English by a group of fans.
Unicorn Lynx (181772) on 3/20/2006 6:45 AM · Permalink · Report
SD Snatcher was translated indeed. Not that I'm crazy about this game... the whole Snatcher story and dialogues are totally absent in this one.

Definitely mods.

No need to google for it, Ultima V remake (called Ultima V: Lazarus) is already on MG database. You'll need to have Dungeon Siege installed on your computer in order to play it, though. Because technically, it is a mod, but a very large one...

Remake:
- Faxanadu.
No contest. Something 3D-ish with remade music would be quite drool inducing.
- Battle of Olympus One of those games that were actually quite good but which no one played.
Sequel:
See above. Remake or sequel. What ever. Just make em!

Some of the MG elders will have to explain the policy more clearly. There are some TCs here which are fine and others have been removed or refused. I think if a TC has had an official release, then it's eligible. Commerical releases seem to carry more weight than freeware.
Frankly, I think MG should be more open to TCs and mods, but I think that there is a fear that if top notch, finely-crafted mods like They Hunger (made by a real development team and financed by a real publisher) are accepted, then any old fanmade mod might get submitted.
