Top 10 games that need a remake

Top 10 Games That Need A Remake.

10. Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox)
Halo was arguably the first first person shooter. It utilized the concept of dual analog sticks. One to control the person, and one to control camera. While this game is old it still has decent graphics. In my opinion this is still the best of the Halo games.

9. Legend of the Dragoon (PS1)
Legend of the Dragoon came out about the same time as Final Fantasy VII. This game got blown under the radar by the release of Final Fantasy VII. This was a similar RPG to Final Fantasy VII. It had better graphics and a more cinematic combat style. It was also a much harder RPG than Final Fantasy VII which might add to the reason VII is more popular. I would like to see this game remade o n the PS3.

8. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (PS2)
I personally feel that this is the best Ace Combat game, and arguably the best flight combat game ever. The story is incredible and you really get attached to the characters. The graphics are still very good. After watching the new Ace Combat trailer I would really like to see Ace Combat 5 remade using the same graphics.

7. Final Fantasy IV (NES)
Naturally Final Fantasy would be on this list, however this isn't the Final Fantasy that most people would imagine. IV is arguably the best Final Fantasy to date. It has already been remade twice. Once on the Gameboy Advance, and one on the DS. I would like to see a third remake go multi-platform and use Final Fantasy XIII's graphics.

6. Golden Eye (N64)
I really don't need to say much about this game. Most people fully understand and have played this game. It was a great game. This was the first real first person shooter. It had split screen multiplayer and an awesome campaign. There is a remake on the Wii but I don't think that it will fully capture the spirit of the game. Remaking it on multi-platform would make it a sure fire hit.

5. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
How could anyone make a list of games that need to be remade and not include the fan decided best Zelda game. This was the first 3 dimensional Zelda game. Every game before that had been in two dimensions. With the transfer to 3 dimensions fans went crazy and named Ocarina of Time the best Zelda game. It would be great to see this remade, but not until Nintendo releases HD console.

4. Metal Gear Solid 1 (PS1)
Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest game series ever. No other game series has sparked so much controversy as the Metal Gear Solid series. Some gamers will argue that they are incredible, some will say that they are just to many cutscenes and not enough gameplay. Either way every gamer who likes Metal Gear Solid likes Metal Gear Solid 1 and 3. Almost every time you hear someone talk about game remakes this game is spoken.

3. Starwars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox)
Starwars games have had a long history of being terrible. Knights of the old Republic started a riot among starwars fans. Gamers, Starwars fans, Rpg fans, everyone loved the game. After watching the trailers for the Old Republic MMO it would be incredible to see this gem of a game released with those graphics.

2. Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
When ever I make a top ten list I try to avoid using the same series twice. But it would be impossible to make this list without adding there next two games. How could I or anyone make a list about games that needed to be remade without including Final Fantasy VII. This is the most demanded game remake I think I’ve ever seen. There are countless articles online about gamers wanting VII to be remade. Square caused this epidemic among gamers when they remade the first cutscene to showcase the power of the PS3's graphical capabilities. Gamers went crazy and to this day four years later gamers are still hoping that Square remakes this game.

1. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2)
Again like I said I try not to reuse the same series. MGS3 it still one of the highest rated game of the last generation. Personally it is my favorite game ever. I would love to see Hideo Kojima remake it using MGS4's graphics and camera system. Hideo showed off a sample remake at E3 2010 on the 3DS called the Naked Sample. I would like to see a remake both on the 3DS and on the PS3.

I know I didn't mention every game that deserves a remake. However I did try to talk mention games that were the biggest and best released games. Everyone of these games changed gaming in some way or another. I very much so hope that they are remade using the full potential of gaming consoles.

I would kill for just about all of those, the only one I wouldn't care for is Ace Combat but the rest all need a remake or at the very least be remastered.

lex-10205701d ago

I think i just couldn't think of another game to put there. But I would still like to see it.

Godmars2905702d ago

How would you remake FFIV, considering its already got one coming on the DS? I for one would love one using an updated FFIX engine for HD consoles.

As for FFVII, despite of because of the tech demo, all the delays and excuses given, Square has pretty much said that they lack the ability to do a remake at the level they've shown, yet insist that that's the only level they'd do it.

WildArmed5702d ago (Edited 5702d ago )

I was just gonna name all the MGS games since the Metal Gear Franchise (not MGS franchise).
but nice list.

(though I am REALLY dieing for a remake of Metal Gear 1, 2 etc)

MGS1 and MGS3 are perfect they don't need remakes, the original MSX Metal Gears need a definate remake though, it would be epic to fight an evil big boss in the graphics of todays hardware. It would also give an excuse to play as Solid Snake again.

lex-10205699d ago

I agree, but wouldn't you like to see MGS1 and 3 remade using MGS4's graphics and adding the option to play the game over the shoulder like MGS4 while still keeping the option play it normally?

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
