which dated/old game do you believe best deserves a remake/reboot?

jet set willy, just so it could be made completable

Doom.

Same principal, same gameplay + PS1 soundtrack, some new levels, 2013 graphics.

No story arc, no plot & no cinematic cut scene crap. Just pure get from A-B killing as many demons as possible with a few puzzles thrown in for good measure.

I might wee a little in my shorts if that was announced.

Doom 4 is already well on the way and should be far closer to the original Doom than the previous sequel. This is one of the few games worth waiting for.

Raptor: Call of the shadows (1994, scrolling shooter)

Great game! Though modern graphics wouldn't really help the top down shooting (and theres an ipad remake version out now that's pretty good)

 

[Potty27]

Final Fantasy VII without a doubt

 

[Huggie86]

Robocod!

 

[Taziir]

Xenon 2

 

[Drollic]

Carmageddon

A game I really liked on the Amiga was Midwinter, I would love to see a modern remake.

Outcast (1999, voxel-based parallel universe RPG)

"On 3 July 2013, the creator of Outcast announced that they have acquired the IP from Atari with the intention to revive the franchise"

From the wiki... happy days

The only regret i have about buying that on day/release.. celeron cpu at the time, fantastic game thou.

Midwinter.

Seems like a glove fit for the Oculus Rift!

Remakes are so common and derided in the movie world. But would be celebrated in the gaming world but hardly ever happens!

Populous

The two that i wouldnt mind are Space Harrier, and Millennium 2.2. Millennium did get a remake a while ago, but the links to it are sadly defunct.

The did a terrible conversion of Carrier Command recently didn't they - that had so much potential.

 

[vodkacokebloke]

managed to find an active link to the Millennium remake, if anyone wants to give it a go

Lucky you.

Both Homeworld 1 & 2 are being remade for release in HD.

What?? And by that I mean WHAT?!??!??!??

I came in here to say I'd LOVE an HD homeworld, it's immense.
Such a fantastic game.

Any links??

EDIT: Found it. My productivity is knackered!! I'm so excited

With Atari in a financial situation that can only be described as a Zimbabwean level of broke...

Excellent news. I thought Appeal went bust trying to develop Outcast II? Apparently not.
