Old games getting HD re-releases: Good or bad?

Started by Scythe4 pages

I'm a graphics whore, no matter how much I love some games, I can't get through them cuz of their graphics on my big ass 82" teevee. So I have no problem sellin' back classics to rebuy them anew. As long as they don't hike the price up of a new game, that's not cool, man.

I still rather have backwards compatibility on my consoles, especially the next generation of consoles because I find games that are being released now can still look very good 5-10 years from now.

After playing Half-Life 2, FEAR, Crysis and a few other "older" games, they still look fantastic.

I enjoy re released games. Already said, some games are just hard as hell to come by now... having them re released just makes it more convenient, and graphics in hd??? thats a great bonus.

I wish they would re release all the ratchet and clanks from the ps2 on to the ps3 with better graphics and trophies... I love that series.

Wish Square-Enix remade Xenogears, but that will never happen.

Oh shi-!

I hear that Devil May Cry is getting an HD makeover. Has anyone else heard of this? I mean, isn't the DMC series about to get a full reboot?

Personally, I want to see Grand Theft Auto III get an HD remake. GTA III is definitely a worthy candidate.

Yeah. I even posted a thread about it:

One can only dream. *sigh*

I personally think HD remakes are OK.
However, prices should be half the selling price of current original games.
Since they are nothing more than re-hashed versions of old games with better graphics.

Another bonus of HD re-releases are games that were cult classics can be introduced to mainstream gamers.
I think they should make HD remakes of the MOTHER series with translation to English (even though I know it may never happen)

They go for about £20, maybe a little bit more for the collections.

Some games would be great to be re-released, because they simply had better ideas or plots than many of the ones being pumped out today. I would love see see them remake, Morrowind, Final Fantasy 7 (No turn base crap, real time is the way to go), X-Com UFO defense, and several others. Oh and Road Rage 3 🤘 <--- Great game with great tunes.

Removing the turn base from FF7 would be mental. the ATB system is one of the reason's the FF series is great. (Even though the CTB from FFX was better.)

Also, you say, "No turn base crap, real time is the way to go"... then you say X-COM straight after. 😆

The Gamecube remake of the first Resident Evil would look awesome as an HD re-release.

I loved X-Com UFO defense a lot, but with today's technology, making a game like that with present graphics capabilities should be easy. Turn based games are something that had to be done back in the day. There really is no excuse for it in modern day games. Take Skyrim for example.

That is incorrect. turn based games are still around. 😛
HOMM6 and Worms Re-loaded are good examples.

Just released on more than the Wii.

Definitely not on the Wii. It would sell much better on PS3/360. I know people who bought a Gamecube solely for playing the RE1 remake, and nothing else.

This game would look awesome as an HD release, complete with trophies. droolio

Playing the remake of RE on a emu and the effin' game still looks awesome.

I have no problem with HD re-releases. Gives new gamers(kids mostly) the chance to experience these classics and see where things came from.

Exactly. I think it is win win.
