What old but good video game should geta remake, with better graphics and new levels/gameplay elements? Also, what would be in the remake that the old classic didn't do? I personally think that Ghosts n' Goblins should get a remake. They could have even more levels and better graphics, but possibly tone down the difficulty for the newer aduience, but still make the game hard.

Just PM me if you feel like it. It can be completely random, and I love a good conversation.

I'm not big on remakes but there are a few old series' that I'd like to see new incarnations of on current gen consoles:
Marathon (if Bungie can ever stop bleeding Halo dry, so no chance of that then)
Road Rash
Altered Beast

None, I believe in the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Especially because no matter how good the remake turns out, people will whine that it "isn't as good as the original", and they usually aren't, in part because people have rose-tinted-glasses when they think back on their favorite games, and in part because it's hard to capture the spirit of the original in a remake, especially if the levels don't transfer over well, or you try to add stuff but then get carried away and it isnt a remake or something, (most games change a lot of things up so that it isn't a straight remake, I think) - games like Sonic 2006 and that new Prince of Persia were both remakes and got pretty negative reviews.

You can make all the sequels you want and I can count them as new games with the same characters, but if I'm playing Super Mario Brothers "in 3d!" like these new Super Mario games all try to do, it just doesn't feel the same, though the games are fun and capture the motions of the originals, to me, it feels weird to be playing a sidescrolling Mario game with a gimmick and a 3d model that is trying to imitate a sprite or something.
I dunno. I'm sort of torn in that I think they should try to bring back the spirit of old games, but I dont know how they would do it.

Perfect Dark.

Yeah, I know there was a shitty prequel but that game was completely different to the original. I want a sequel that's close to the source material - basically moar aliens and shit.

That was remade. It was so terrible that Sega spared us an American release.

There is no such thing as someone who doesn't like the PS3, there is only poor people who can't afford one. PS3 owners pity you and hope you can one day get out of poverty.

I'm thinking a re-done Warcraft III, Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle earth, Sonic needs a good remake, and I heard that there was a Splatterhouse remake in the works.

Don't let the join date confuse you, I been here since waaay long.

Yeah, I can't wait for this - I already have the Perfect Dark theme on my 360.

I hope it does come out this Winter though.

Big Rigs.
The game has to be remade, into a WORKING version. Even if they don't, I'm curious of the patch some NG user is doing.

I've played that on the Atari ST. It was a tough game. I had to use cheats to play it. It doesn't really help when my Atari ST joystick doesn't always function, but it does seem like a fun game, if not a little too hard for my liking.

Staying on the whole Atari ST theme, I'd quite like to see the game GODS remade. It was an awesome ST game, probably my personal favourite from what I've played.

Another game which might make for a good remake (again, ST game) would be Gauntlet. I loved that game as well, but it really was designed for more than one player I believe, and I've only ever played it by myself.

I would prefer developers to concentrate on making new and original games, rather than relying on mechanics of the past.

Obviously Modern Warfare 2!

Actually I'd like a remake of Link to The Past, in a 3D Dot Game Heroes style.

I like the Link to the Past idea and hell make all the first 3 Zelda games into 3D versions because I personally like 3D Zelda games > 2D Zelda games.
