Anyone said Witcher 1 and 2 yet?

they have the engine and a lot of rigs/models as well as scripts recorded and it would go a long way to recovering them from the Cyberpunk mess.

This is the closest that I have seen. Sadly just a tech exercise not a playable game:

To be honest, I find that 8-bit games mostly lose their charm and, er, ...thinginess.. when updated.

I know you can get it on the Xbox One and Series S/X, but they haven’t done anything to update it: Shenmue. This, with modern graphics, controls and game physics would be awesome. It was well ahead of its time when it came out on Dreamcast.

And while we’re at it, Double Dragon and Streets of Rage.

Stunt Island - A driving/flying sandbox from 1992 where you set up various action movie shots with movable cameras and props. A modern ragdol/PBR VR version would be great fun.

Love all the Microprose simulators which mostly have modern equivalents. Good shout on Syndicate - Satellite Reigns is on sale at the moment so will give it a try.

I used to love Smugglers Run on free roam just for a drive about and trashing a few camper vans.
Lining them up on the train tracks was impressive when you got 8 or 10 of them there. smile

I wouldn’t mind seeing SSX 3/Tricky get a remake, or a modern interpretation at least. I reckon it’d be great on a big 4K display.

Couldn't we just pretend Dead Space 3 doesn't exist and just make that again?

Played the PS2 classics original on PS2 (not the crappy mobile port) and it's perfectly playable and enjoyable still.
It’s almost tempting to pick up a PS2 (mine is long dead) and a copy to see.

Edit: £12 on Xbox One! Downloading now biggrin
It’s great fun despite the obviously dated graphics, sound, physics... and surprising how much of the map I can remember.

Just checked back through the thread and found I said Stars! several years ago, and I still stand by it. Great game.

I would love to see a modern remake of The legend of money island. Updated graphics and keep the humour.

And another Amiga great: Eye of the Beholder in full surround sound please.

I'd love an updated version of Mashed. So much fun in multiplayer.

Anyone remember Ecco The Dolphin, or Kula World?

I wish they would bring a new Dead Space out, fantastic games. Even through 3 was a big departure in location and feel it was still good fun. Why they binned off this IP I will never understand.

Also, Syphon (spelt correctly hehe) Filter! Definitely! 1 was fantastic, 2 and 3 were fine. Then disappeared into oblivion after a few crappy PSP adventures.

Bring 'em both back! Happy to put a wedge towards the crowdsourcing!

Also, Alan Wake. No longer available due to music rights issues, I believe. Great fun.

Another here for Guybrush.

I’m expecting Red Alert 2 and Zelda TP/WW/OOT/MM HD this year....

LOVED the Getaway! Had totally forgotten about that.

What about Max Payne as well ?
