Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 I loved Strider (on Atari ST) but, like most side-scrolling beat-em-ups (or any side-scrolling game) there's no point in a remake. The game mechanics won't adapt to the modern era in a way that would make any sense unless you completely change the game, so they're probably as fun played in emulation as they'd ever get. Â Â I get what your saying, but the argument has been among friends and similar threads to this, that games have become so heavy on the graphics and 3d in depth side of things, the game play has suffered to an extent, much like with hollywood movies. Obviously there is a massive amount of brilliant modern games of similar nature, but i would love to see some good old side scrollers. Â Every time a new Sonic comes out, people cry about the fact its not a 2d side scroller. Â 3D fighting games like Tekken were obviously a big hit, but 2d street fighter was still as popular as ever (fair enough it is a twating massive cult game), but you see what im getting at. I believe there is still room for a super shiny new side scroller. Â I'm happy for new 3d shiny perks etc and the general theme and story of the games needs to be prominent and updated, i'd love to see it. Â Â Â Good call on the cool spot refresh too!

Retro Red Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Turrican had some of the best guns I've ever seen in a game. Absolutely agree. Â I'd also love to see an HD release of Xenon II : Megablast. That game was balls out tough, and if they manage to include even better. Thinking of it, lets get a triple-pack HD release of Bitmap Brothers games, Gods, Xenon II and Magic Pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted February 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'd like the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series to carry on. I loved those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maestro Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I used to love the likes of Jungle Strike, Desert Strike, etc. It's be great if they (you know, them) re-made these. Soviet Strike was my favourite out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted February 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2012 Chaos Engine. A glorious steampunk setting, with a bunch of playable characters to choose from - Thug, Preacher, Mercenary, Gentleman, Navvie and Brigand. There was already a levelling up aspect, so it's perfect for a Borderlands-style remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were those Little Big Planet games not scrollers / platformers? If you go on youtube, some genius has made a very authentic looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few, if any games, have done steampunk better than that. Was it 4 player? My memory says "yes" but I might be confusing it with Alien Breed....

PSF Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'd love to see a re-make of Kid Chamelian from the Megadrive. Been playing it again recently the Xbox and I still love it just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's something that could be fixed in a current gen remake. Now I'm thinking more L4D than Borderlands. Â I hate these threads. They just make me yearn for things that'll never exist.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted February 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2012 I meant to post this before, but never got around to it, when everyone was bringing up Road Rash. The online mode of GTA: The Lost and Damned pretty much is a current-gen Road Rash remake. Bikes, bats, money - it's all there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
