[General Discussion] Remakes: for or against...

I'm all for remakes, especially for games that saw a very limited release. I really can't recall any remakes that I have played recently. The best I can come up with are ports which don't count as remakes but I would gladly accept as well.

I'd love to see a Demon's Crest remake. Imagine a massive open world with gameplay similar to say God of War or Devil May Cry or what have you. Plus the ability to transform into different demons would be awesome in 3D.

I'd love to see Actraiser remade, hopefully with a bit deeper simulation system and the ability to smite those who oppose me.

Oh and definitely Xenogears. I know it was going to be remade under the Xenosaga moniker but I'd love to see a proper remake of it. It was robbed of its second disc and I'd love to see that fleshed out. Plus a bit of an update in the graphics and translation would be great. Truthfully, I'd love to see it as is but with the second disc properly placed.

How ya doing, buddy?

Really? Movie remakes for the most part have been pretty terrible. With video game remakes, the developer can go back and add in what was cut a la Final Fantasy IV and improve the graphics or any a number of things that couldn't be implemented at the time due to time or technological constraints.

If anything I think that video games would generally be better off with remakes just as video games are generally better off with sequels than most movies are.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
