Remakes

Really children, the old saying is true: They simply don't make them like they used to. The game designers of yore did a lot more with a lot less. Just look at Soldner.

So, I was thinking...why don't they simply liscence a few of the older, out of circulation games and remake them, identical to a tea? Same maps, enemies, weapons, but just make it more presentable. Refine the music without changing it, and update teh graphics. It would be a renaissance. C'mon, who hasn't played Chrono Trigger and wished they would move it onto PC and throw it onto a better engine? Or maybe update the BG games, finish up all those half quests and throw in more dialogue?

For now, I'd settle for just three games. I'd throw Chrono trigger onto the newst Final fantasy engine, and copy it detail for detail, from the great music to the maps and enemies. Just a graphical and sound update, basically.

Then, I'd put System Shocks 1 and 2 onto the Deus Ex 2 engine, and again copy it exactly. No need for change there, except graphically. gameplay's excellent, and the sound is better than some games today.

Finally, I'd want a new engine for teh BG series. I'd want them to tie up all those loose ends, like what happened to Xan and the others as well as a few half-finished plots. That, and more inter-party dialogue. Never enough inter party dialogue. What do you people think?

I'd like to see system shock 2 remade with the Doom 3 engine. There was a mod that was being developed here in Australia to do that, but EA forced them to change the name of the mod and any references to SS2. Shame.

Wouldn't mind seeing the old Command and Conquer games redone with the C&C Generals engine.

And can't wait for all the Half Life Mod to be remade with the Half Life 2 engine when it comes out.

Civ2, maybe the old Star Wars games...Just thinking about the possibilities...

I'd like to see Bionic Commando and Stryder redone.
