Which classic/retro game would you like to see rebooted/remade/HD-fied?

I would really like to see the following games remade/rebooted :

1. Recoil :

*pics.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1123517690-00.jpg

*www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/90023-recoil-windows-screenshot-create-shell-craters-in-the-landscapes.jpg

An action game where you control an advanced futuristic tank and lay waste to numerous types of enemy and complete objectives across various landscapes. The tank can morph from a tracked vehicle to an amphibian, hovercraft or a submarine over various campaigns. I used to love playing this game as a kid and would really like to see this remade in some form.

More info : Recoil for Windows (1999) - MobyGames

2. Battlezone/Battlezone 2 :

*www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/164489-battlezone-ii-combat-commander-windows-screenshot-spying-near.jpg

This is one comes under the rare genre of first person strategy. You can not only order and assign tasks to units but you could also take control of vehicles and personally lead your forces to defeat the enemy. By take control, I don't mean point and click, but you can control your vehicles and tanks in first person.

3. Blood :

*www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/79602-blood-dos-screenshot-cerberus-and-tchernobog-duke-it-out-s.png

Here you fill in the shoes of Caleb, an undead gunslinger, as you exact vengeance on the god Tchernobog and his minions for betraying you. Horror elements, supernatural enemies and extreme amounts of gore make this one hell of an experience. What is even more awesome are innovative weapons such as the aerosol can, voodoo doll, flare gun and the tesla cannon.

Commandos

'Outlaws' by LucasArts. My fav game when I was a kid.

Also, Dave

It can be made into a Spelunky type of game.

Oh man, I'd love to see a Commandos reboot someday.

Another game I'd like to see is the Hidden and Dangerous series.

Err. Stupid office net. Don't mind the double post.

Recoil is what I like.

Commandoes and RTS like Age of Empires, warcraft, Empire earth.... I really miss RTS games these days... No good options except Starcraft and CoH 2.

Dude, AOE has been released as HD already. If you like CoH, you should try the Dawn Of War series.

Commander keen

Damn! How I forgot Commander Keen!? Also Bio-Menace.

Hd remake is not as good, think about a AoE game with the graphics of Starcraft 2 or COH 2. Playing as different mideval civilizations and through a span of 3-4k years has its own kick...
Btw completed Dawn of war series and many of the big RTS released till date and even some ok ones like armies of exigo, Majesty, Universe at war,Crusader etc... Still hungry for more..

Prince of persia- shadow and flames

*image.dosgamesarchive.com/screenshots/prince2-12.gif

*image.dosgamesarchive.com/screenshots/prince2-4.gif

Anyone played it??
the new prince of persia games suck...

and also double dragon and NES TMNT

heretic II

Yes, I have played most of the common retro DOS games, including all of the Prince Of Persia series (except forgotten sands). The Shadow And The Flame was too damn hard, took me many sittings to complete it.

S

Recoil was such a great game i loved unleashing nuke missile on enemies. I am suprised that there was no sequel to the game. Guess game didnt do that well.

I would like streets of rage to be remade.

I would like to see

1)Freelancer
2)Severance: Blade of Darkness

1) contra
2) double dragon

No One Lives Forever 1 (NOLF) (Funniest FPS I've ever played)

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way (NOLF2)

NOLF 3

Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed (nfs5) the BEST racing game so far

Homeworld

And although they are working on an HD remake of the series, truth be told there is a need for a new revamped version of the game built from scratch

And oh...just when I was typing Homewo- this showed up, feel bad for kids

AOE is a classic, but I wouldn't mind an upgrade. IMO, RTS died after RoN released in 2004

Holy ****! Homeworld. AFAIK, its the only true 3D RTS. I played Homeworld:Cataclysm back in 2001 when it came with the first Digit Playware CD with the first Digit issue ever. Couldn't find the full version anywhere. Now when I did, it does not run on my new machine. +1 this.

I don't think so, if you can give some more info/screenshots might ring a bell.

WoW is here to stay. But I heard that Blizzard is possibly working on a totally new project other than Diablo, Warcraft or Starcraft.

I don't think anyone will make a "proper" Soldier of Fortune remake just because of the amount of gore. If you strip down the gore, the game will be crappy.

I want Road Rage to be remade in HD.. Best Bike race game ever

ariftwister said:

Its already is progress IIRC.

As for me I would like a remake of Freelancer.

Road rash

Guys, if possible, please provide basic info such as platforms, year, genre, etc and/or screenshots as well so that I can look them up.

This thread made me recall that I had played recoil ! What a game it was. The last stage where tanks converted themselves into white kind of structure and had deadly missiles, was awesome.

One thing I feel, that no game could fill the gap created by AoE. I've even heard that the players were so reluctant to move on to next version of game, forced M$ to blatantly stop AoE all over, akin to CS 1.6 fate.

+1 to RoadRash
+1 to AoE/AoC
+1 to Commandos
+1 to NFS PU

Homeworld: shipbreakers, being developed by blackbird interactive is said to the next Homeworld game. It was first being developed as HARDWARE: Shipbreakers, but then they acquired the licence to the Homeworld name from Gearbox and changed the name to Homeworld: shipbreakers. Also heard that its being developed by the previous homeworld developers from Relic.

I read somewhere that Homeworld : Shipbreakers will not be in space but on a planet's surface. WTF.

But HD remakes of the originals are in development, so I think we are good.

Edit : I used to love the menu theme from Cataclysm.

I would also like to add Diablo 1 and 2.

Midtown Madness..

ariftwister said:
Midtown Madness..

What a lovely game it was. I used to enjoy crusing in different weather conditions and time of day the city of Chicago. I especially loved seeing the sky high rail system, the aeroplane descedning and taking off at airport and the expressways

. MM2 was also great and had many great mods. Sigh childhood ! :razz:

C&C 1 & 2
Starcraft 1
Pokemon Red and Blue(As a true 3rd person realtime RPG,not that turn-based bakwass)

Yeah I also want to see SC1 HD remake. Really want to feel how it all started in first place.

I really want Submarine Titans (2000) to be remade with HD graphics.This is my 1st game and was a exciting strategy game.I played this demo for hours with my 1st PC.

Some Screenies:

I believe Contra is an ongoing series.
One of my favorite games is Evil Genius. If not remade, I'd love for it to be made more compatible with Windows 7.

Carmageddon!!! :-D

Crusaders - Might and magic

It's one of the initial games I played

I would like to see an Unreal Engine 4 remake of the original Unreal. Now that Epic is done with the Gears Of War series, I really hope they put some work into their original PC IPs which made them and their Engine famous 8)

Another would be a Skyrim remake of Daggerfall from the TES series. Daggerfall is IMO the second-best TES game to date(Next to Morrowind ofcourse).

Another, not exactly a remake, series I would lie to see return is the Monkey Island series. Sadly Disney owns Lucas Arts now and it is now upto them to revive the series.

Aaaannndddd CAPCOM heard me *www.entertainmentbuddha.com/new-screenshots-for-the-ultimate-hd-edition-of-resident-evil-4/
Its releasing ultimate hd version of re4 for pc (thanks to CAPCOM for caring about pc community)
And year controller issues solved. ...

^^

Oh man! God really exists!

Really this news changed my mood....its been long time since I had excitement about a game.

I had started playing it a long time ago but the crappy controller friendly controls got the best of me. I did not own a controller then.

I still emulate ps2 versions to play it sometimes coz it was better than pc port.

What emulator do you use? I tried ePSXe but the sound is too sluggish and the controls don't respond. No idea why.

epsxe ??? man this is for ps1 not ps2...
for ps2 emulation you need pcsx2 and its perfect , everything works like charm and it makes you feel like playing a pc game.

if you have got resident evil 4 ps2 disc or iso backup , i can make you right configuration.

Sorry, I meant PCSX2. I forgot the name. I had borrowed my friends Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory disc to try.

Fine .. I'v created a thread "pcsx2 guide and discussion"
Follow basic steps there ...then tell me about performance. .I'll then speed it up to make it normal.

Btw I though you would be playing any ps2 exclusive. ..I mean to say chaos theory is already there for pc.

I know. I just wanted to try it out and my friend had that only.

Sure . Do it and tell me what fps you getting without speedhack and game fixes.

Captain Claw and the nine gems :hyper:

Also on the list:
Delta Force
Project IGI
Heretic II

Cadillacs and dinosaur - I loved this game!

and also does anyone remember something like "arcade 32" (not exact words),it was like a package which had cadillacs and dinosaur,and other games of such kind of 2d scrollers, side-scrolling beat em'up ,to be exact.

^ double dragon series

I am not sure if they could make a good sequel. All the sequels sucked after Double Dragon 3.

Its about time somebody released a reboot or a sequel to the no one lives forever series of games-nolf 1 and 2 are two of the finest first person shooter games I've ever played,i wonder why its developer (monolith I think)decided to abandon the franchise after releasing nolf 2 way back in 2003.

They did release another game called Contract JACK several years ago(which was loosely based on the nolf universe) but it was not well received by the critics and gamers alike and hence it turned out to be a major disappointment.Lets hope a true sequel or a full-fledged reboot of nolf is in the works and will be released in the foreseeable future.

anyone remember the game where you were hunting dinosaurs?? it is kinda old(pc game)

^ dino crisis

nope...but isnt that a PS game?

Thats Heretic 2.
It was a huge step aside from the original Heretic, but no one complained, this game was a blast!! The first TRUE 3rd person Hack and Slash for PC, with awesome multiplayer.. groundbreaking and genre-bending...I remember Corvus was the hero and the gore was awesome!!

My reboot request games are--
1) Knight & Merchants(1998)*image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/screenshots/7/138947/knightsm_screen003.jpg
-- Bluebyte stepped off the trditional gameplay and started Settlers series, i hope they ditch the Settlers franchise and go back to its roots. Even to this day people are making mods for it and even optimizing it for Windows 8. Such is the demand among RTS Micromanage loving gamers. All the formations system in Total War games are inspired from this game.

2) A proper DUKE NUKUM game

3) Sacrifice (2000)*upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/08/Sacrifice_by_Interplay_-_formation.jpg
-- This RTS was innovative as hell!! Totally took the RTS genre by surprise but unfortunately it was the age of FPS and multiplayer games so it kinds died out without much publicity

4)Homeworld(1999)- *springfiles.com/sites/default/files/images/games/strategy/real-time-strategy/0_home001.jpg
A Space RTS on 3 axis, meaning completely 3D.. one of the best RTS ever...dunno why they stopped making sequels

I only had the demo of Knights And Merchants, but I loved the mechanics and the economy trees. How the carriers would carry resources to the workshops and the workshops would then use those resources to build tools, weapons, bread, etc.

A similar game is Townsmen on Android.

Any latest update on that Road Rash remake ??

Its already on Kickstarter last time I checked.

Edit : It got funded. The video looks kickass.
