If there was one old game you could have remade...

[Captain Colon]

...with a modern engine (eg. source, or the crysis engine), what would it be?


I'd probably shit my pants if someone ever redid System Shock 2 with all our modern graphical marvels. Like, actually shit my pants in fear because that game was pretty fucking scary even with graphics that were outdated at the time. I'm playing through it again right now with all the graphical update mods that are out and it gives me the willies d:D

[Splitlip]

Abuse. That game was fucking great, I played it till my eyeballs dried out and caught fire, white knuckled and softly cursing the dawn.

[Maddog]

Xwing!

Thanks for being the only other person ever to play that game. I use to play it all the time on my dad's old Power Mac.

I'd remake Marathon 2.

[Captain Colon]

Marathon would be pretty badass too, would you make it more atmospheric (like doom 3 compared to the predecessors) or just keep with the original run-n-gun type gameplay?

[neko]

I'd make it a little more atmospheric, but chances are it'd still retain it's run-n-gun gameplay. It'd be a remake rather than a revisioning

[HarryB]

Duke Nukem 3D

[neko]

Duke Nukem 3D

I was gonna say that, but I have always thought that it's aged extremely well so there's no need to. I think there's a mod for it that makes it have better graphics but I thought it looked shitty.

PT-109.

Darting around cruisers and destroyers in an 80-foot wooden boat at 30 knots had a certain awesome to it, even on half a 6-inch black-and-white screen.

SMB3 or Earthbound.

[Makai Goblin]

Remade games:

1: A source remake of Quake 1 & 2, plus CTF modes for them (I played hella lots of Q2 CTF.)

2: Starcraft, done with the Warcraft3 engine (I'm thinking Blizz won't let it go on some competitor's RTS engine)

3: Duke Nukem 3d on source.

4: DooM 1&2 on source.

[Makai Goblin]

Console Remakes:

Dragon Warrior/Quest, 1-6, done on DQVIII's engine

Final Fantasy 1,2,4,5,& 6, Redone as FF3 was for the DS

Contra redone with a modern 3d engine

Legend of Zelda (the origional 8 bit one) Redone with a modern 3D engine (but preserving the origional top down style)

Origional UT redone on the engine UT2007 will be using (Unreal engine3?) UT sniper rtifle > 2k4 lighting/sniper rifle. EDIT: Oops, not a console game!

And holy shit, a Pokemon Red remake that plays like an Elder Scrolls game on the Crysis engine............................................ ....................................

Man I just realized, holy shit think how fucking scary that game would be. Going through fucking tall grass and being ambushed by scythers and shit. I would purposefully get injured so I could get sent to a pokecenter to see the chanseys :kak:

[GrosPoisson]

I see nobody got my extremely obscure MegaDrive reference there...

Kind of happens when you're acting pedantic :fier:

My oldschool gaming knowledge only goes as far back as early 286 systems with EGA monitors and Atari consoles. I missed out on all the tape-loading systems as a function of being too young, which I guess goes for the rest of us.

[Captain Colon]

I hate you kak :(





Aw man I shouldn't joke about that shit like that, I <3 you kak :kak:


Being about 1/3 of the way through my current SS2 re-playthrough, I've decided it should never be remade on a modern engine because people would probably die of shock and fear and awe and dehydration due to never-ending semen production. It'd be like what Doom 3 would've been like if it had like 10% of the ammo it did and the "OH SHIT MONSTER COMING OUT OF A DARK CORNER" thing never got old.

JA2 (3D engine)Second mention of this admitedly awesome game, but what would fancy 3D graphics really BRING to the game?
Falcon 4.0As far as I'm concerned, this is remade on updated graphics... I grew up playing Falcon 2.0 on a 6-inch B/W screen ;)

[Captain Colon]

Second mention of this admitedly awesome game, but what would fancy 3D graphics really BRING to the game?
Yeah, I was hoping to see more neat ideas with games that would really have something to gain from better graphics/audio/stuff, not just "it will play the same cause the original was good but it will look better" :lincoln:

[Discobird]

Deus Ex

QFE, Deus Ex would be awesome with an up-to-date physics engine.

u could have buildings with more than 1 floor, you could have hills, generally spoken, you could have an real 3 dimensional environment, and not only one plain area and a few rooftops.

+i want a whole bunch of weapons and weapons equipment.

[ShaneVStheWorld]

Daggerfall

That game would make me crap my pants.

[Skyler]

How can no one have mentioned Alien vs Predator?

Good points, more tactical flexability would likely be cool. Though a bunch more weapons and such is hardly a graphics/engine update ;)

[Degree:N]

Dark Forces

[Discobird]

Dark Forces

JK and JK2 not good enough?

[kreket]

I downloaded Flashback from HOTU the other day. I'd love to be able to play that and get sound. (Which is included, but doesn't work for me.) And some key to skip those video animations.

How can no one have mentioned Alien vs Predator?

You know, I'm not sure what engine to pick for a refurbish. Noone that I can think of have managed to do what they did with lightning and weak spots to the bodies.

But they really screwed multiplayer over and the lack of scripted sequences and allies get to you after a while. And no mods at all. Someone should redo it just so you could be some commander sitting in an APC while directing his marines, be it against aliens or predators. And how they made AVP2 without the original's coop mode is a crime towards gaming.

[GrosPoisson]

Daggerfall

That would be ridiculous. I still remember how impressed I was when I realized truly how massive the game area was. I wonder how much HD space Daggerfall ported to the Oblivion engine would be?

[Yiggs]

A proper remake of Mechwarrior 2

[Degree:N]

JK and JK2 not good enough?No.

-e-
Objection, leading question.

[Splitlip]

JK and JK2 not good enough?

In a way, no. I like the idea of a Star Wars game where you arent a jedi, and there is more pure FPS gameplay, tactical more than mystical I guess.
That being said, I really, really liked Republic Commando. (The multifunction blaster reminded me of the Johnny7 from ZPC, which was a weird, quirky, disturbing game that I loved to no end.)
Not that the Jedi Knight games werent great, and Kyle Katarn isnt a good jedi character (he's no Corran Horn. I, Jedi for the fucking WIN.), just the jedi game is a bit played out.

[Kak]

Jesus Christ, now that I think about it I can't believe there aren't any Alien Versus Predator mods out there.

[Sirrus]

I see nobody got my extremely obscure MegaDrive reference there...

I can't reckognize it, cos some games been named differently. But if talk bout MegaDrive, I wanna see Boogerman (Burp!!!:)) and Comix zone (but it hard to remade a comix:)). Of course, all ...Strike series (desert, jungle, etc).

[Discobird]

Jesus Christ, now that I think about it I can't believe there aren't any Alien Versus Predator mods out there.

The game's unmoddable, isn't it?

[Stig]

I can't split myself between Fallout 1-2 and Jagged Alliance (well, 1-2 too:))
Surprised no one else said Fallout. Infidels, all.

Also, Planescape: Torment.

[GrosPoisson]

Surprised no one else said Fallout. Infidels, all.

I think it helps that Fallout 3 is currently being made by Bethesda. If they do manage to make it Oblivion-sized but with all the stuff that made Fallout what it is, I'll be happy. (And changing my pants constantly.)

[Discobird]

That would be ridiculous. I still remember how impressed I was when I realized truly how massive the game area was. I wonder how much HD space Daggerfall ported to the Oblivion engine would be?

Much of Daggerfall's content was dynamically randomly generated, I think, so-- probably not too bad

[GrosPoisson]

Was Oblivion's individually placed and designed?

[Elwood]

TIE fighter/Fallout 1 or 2

[GrosPoisson]

I think if TIE Fighter proved one thing to me, it's that I'm a sucker for in-game rewards. All those pins, badges, ribbons, and ranks kept me hooked on that game for years. This also explains why I'm so heavily addicted to Battlefield 2 and 2142 despite each game's glaring technical problems and bugs.

[Discobird]

Was Oblivion's individually placed and designed?

Yep, as far as dungeons and terrain and such are concerned, I think Oblivion is entirely static.

[pk!]

009n1v00 is the cheat for Road Rash on the megadrive - it gives you an insanely fast motorbike.

[GrosPoisson]

Yep, as far as dungeons and terrain and such are concerned, I think Oblivion is entirely static.

Huh. In that case, I feel bad for the guy who had to go and decide how many forks, spoons, knives, cups, and plates needed to be placed on each table, along with the random junk squirreled away in the basements, cabinets, shelves, etc. of all the various NPCs' businesses and houses.

[Discobird]

Yeah, it's an incredible amount of work. Same with Morrowind. If you haven't seen it before, check out The Imperial Library (http://til.gamingsource.net). They have all the in-game text from the Elder Scrolls series. Morrowind contained ~1500 pages according to Wikipedia :o

I honestly can't see fallout being as fun in anything but its already existing incarnations.

Hell, I'd be happy if Bethesda even managed to give the player quest-line options.

Fallout is awesome the way it is. Better graphics would be nice, but...

[pk!]

In Morrowind, if you put something down, iirc it stayed there forever. I used to spend ages making huge piles of things you could see for miles - with the entire island's supply of lanterns and candles on the top. Alas, in Oblivion, things don't stay put.

[StandingCow]

Xwing!

Yea, same here, that and tie fighter.

[Cloneboy]

Battlezone 3D. Oregon Trail.

There's a good chance that if you can wait another year or two, your wish may come true....



Also I never played a Tie Fighter game, only Xwing :(

[GrosPoisson]

Full Throttle or the Monkey Islands

Full Throttle never did get a sequel. I remember hearing how they were thinking of making one, and then they canceled it. Bastards. :gun: :gun: :gun:

Hmmm. I'm gonna shortlist:

Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition/Redneck Rampage - Source
XCOM Series (XCOM: UFO - Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2: Terror from the Deep)
Top Gun: Fire at Will!
Command and Conquer/Command and Conquer: Red Alert

[marty]

Team Fortress :rolleyes:

But yeah, I actually liked the idea of Pokemon and Daggerfall you guys put out.

I'd like to redo all the Final Fantasy games from 1 to 8 and Tactics. And make them first/third person CRPGs like NWN/KOTOR/Oblivion instead of menu-driven while I'm at it. Console RPGs = epic stories. Computer RPGs = epic graphics and gameplay.

*sigh*

[kreket]

The game's unmoddable, isn't it?


I've seen people managing do some light white-hat hacking, helping the player to choose what race they are in-game. Even if it had to be done from scratch, people did build the AVP level prEditor. Not many people bothered to do much about it and the expansion proved a disappointment. I wouldn't know about the game being unmoddable or unworkable. I'm not too sure, but from memory, Fox is said to have a very pro-active stand on modding. It brings in money - through lawsuits.

If the story is true, the policy was implemented some years before the success of both AVP and HL.

IMO, AVP was restricted from above because of Hollywood style producers in Fox. Both when it comes to modding and when it comes to multiplayer, using it as nothing but a base to draw advertising shares from. Battle.net's advertising banner is a pretty reasonable little ad, but these ads were flash videos back in the days before broadband, PIII and 256 meg ramchips reached the wider market.

Sorry for getting all wordy about this. I just have a lot of issues with so much good getting wasted.

Did anyone else ever play Top Gun: Fire At Will! or Top Gun: Hornets Nest? Or am I the only one? :\

I played the former of those two and I must say it was actually kinda fun. Hell, I always landed on the carrier, ALWAYS! And I got damn good at it on my whole PC from 95'.

[marty]

Screw the top gun games

How about turn and burn from the SNES?

It was vaguely like contra, except not side-scrolling and in an F-14

[Captain Colon]

I played some game with a Top Gun name for SNES...it had this one sweet mission where you basically just took off and flew within like 50 miles of your target, then launched a phoenix missile at them and returned to base.


I really miss playing flight sims :(

You know, when I played on MegaDrive, I don't know any cheat codes:). No Web, no Books... It's was time when game industry only starts.

And about Bethesda... I don't want to see Fallout 3 as "Oblivion in post-apocalypse". No isometric (even with full 3D and rotation of camera, like Warhammer 40K DoW let) - no Fallout. Lu say that!:).

Did anyone else ever play Top Gun: Fire At Will! or Top Gun: Hornets Nest? Or am I the only one? :\

You are not alone... Modern talking;).

I've play. But I was loner in class, so I ain't play too long in them. From flight sims I more like Janes Longbow or LHX. Actually I always liked helos more.
