Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Yeah so I can see a total pussy of a main character in hi-res now? No thanks. There were only two things I wanted to see more clearly in that game, Fortunes boobs and the annoying shiat getting her guts blown out.

Ok, three things then.

A game from 2007 is a classic now?

How about Morrowind with the graphics extender and various other mods?

You and I have different definitions of 'classics', subby.

oooh, TIE FIGHTER is coming back?

Not quite the same, but I just found out that the first two Elder Scrolls games (Daggerfall and Arena) have been released as freeware.

Just saw the port of MGS to the 360...I might pick that up.

Would have been more happy if the original MGS was on that list...I loved that game so much.

Smarshmallow: A game from 2007 is a classic now?

This. Number one isn't even a remaster, it is a port. "optimised[sic] controls for console pads" just means it can be played using the PS3 controller and "advanced rendering techniques" is just saying it uses the PS3 hardware.

I think the Morroblivion team would advise you to prepare your anus for the Bethesda legal team.

Why can't they remaster games that we really want? God of War? It's barely 5 years old.

remade with updated graphics, and MGS2 controls. Its a great game, and to be honest, I can't play the original MGS anymore after playing it.

Can I haz remastered Deus Ex?
 
2011-11-17 09:50:29 AM
Sorry, no.

Games which game out six years ago are not "classics" and do not need to be re-released with no changes other than HD graphics and achievement systems.

This isn't cool, subby. I hate, hate, HATE this shiat. They nerfed backwards compatibility so they could charge us again for games we already own.
 
2011-11-17 09:59:14 AM
Seems I was waiting for Classics from the NES up to the SNES to be on the list... Seems I was wrong. And no mention of PoP Remastered. Not Sands of Time Trilogy, I ment the original one that is on the PSN and Live.
 
2011-11-17 09:59:38 AM
Star Control II? That's what I'm waiting for. And X-Wing/Tie-Fighter.

And heck.. Mario is in the game too. And youn can shoot him for 1 Ups too.

I was just thinking today I would like to see a mod that extended the map of Skyrim to include all of Cyrodill and Morrowind

downrezed too, not "remastered in HD"
 
2011-11-17 10:25:50 AM
The NEWEST game I want remastered in HD is Rogue Squadron II (And to a lesser extent Rogue Squadron III).

Masters of Magic, yes please in HD
X-Com: UFO Defense, high definition would rock

And of course, Nethack in HD.

I hadn't played Ico until the refurbished version landed on my desk...

The Ocarina of Time is undoubtedly the best Zelda game ever made...


I stopped after these. This person has no business writing anything about games.

farking noob.

You keep that shiat to yourself. If that ever gets released, I'll be forced to quit my job and play continuously until they shut the farking power off.

My objectives list is already a damned mile long.

Manhunt. The first one...Man that game was so fun.

I'd like to see the crowbar to the face in HD.

I tried playing that again recently and must say you are 100% correct. Computer was confused by ancient game, and graphics were much worse than I remembered, but that is such a kick-ass game.
 
2011-11-17 10:44:54 AM
While I too would want a "master" Elder Scrolls game that would span from Morrowind to Skyrim and beyond, I just isn't possible. The timelines would be too screwed up for cohesion. Hundreds of years pass between games.
 
2011-11-17 10:45:59 AM

Still waiting for the Black Mesa mod. :(

//Also still waiting for Episode 3

Unless there is a rift/portal in time that allows you to jump back and forth.

A bit too cheesy?

Hey, I'm just trying to help!

Shotgun Justice: While I too would want a "master" Elder Scrolls game that would span from Morrowind to Skyrim and beyond, I just isn't possible. The timelines would be too screwed up for cohesion. Hundreds of years pass between games.

What little I have played of the Elder Scrolls series, Mainly Oblivion and some of Marrowind. I dont think its the time line that matters... But being able to explore the area in general. I think there was a Marrowind mod for Oblivion that I tried to download and install... but sadly, it didnt work and it was one that allowed me to explore Marrowind.

DigitalCoffee: Pics of Ultima IV, MULE, and Bard's Tale.

Yes Yes Yes. I was going to add Wasteland and Bard's Tale III.

I clicked through the slideshow ready to come here and biatch about no Monkey Island love. I shall now eat crow and give TFA two thumbs up.

/Well, I'll take one thumb back for spreading 10 items across 5 pages

List fails for its lack of Bionic Commando Rearmed.

That was AMAZING!
 
2011-11-17 11:26:27 AM
knew the list was FAIL quality before clicking, confirmed it with the very first game on the list.

rather have bards tale, marathon, zork, any number of games back before most of those on the list.

Just got the Halo 10 year Anniversary issue. Remastered everything including making it letterbox for the 360. New music, the whole schmear. Playing it all over again.

Smarshmallow: A game from 2007 is a classic now?



with 5 minute attention spans? hell 5 years is up there with, like, decades. but seriously, people move on so fast from one thing to the next. a 5 year old game seems vintage to some.
 
2011-11-17 11:28:16 AM
Hell, I'll take the original X-Wing and Tie-Fighter that works on XP/Vista/7 without having to consult 14 FAQs and web forums to operate while installing 3rd party hacks.

If they took those games, updtaed the graphics and added LAN/WAN multiplayer, do you realize how many they would sell in the first week? It would be the new Tickle Me Elmo during Christmas three years ago. Make a special edition that adds in the Millenium Falcon as a flyable ship and you've got the recipe for "A thousand geeks all gasped in orgasm and then were suddenly silenced..."

farking noob.


Do you prefer Skyward Sword?
 
2011-11-17 11:32:06 AM
I was looking for something like Privateer

or even better: Hero's Quest (or King's or Space Quest)

It would be fun if they made those games 3rd person and not point and click
 
2011-11-17 11:32:37 AM
Hmm...a lot of people in this thread seem to think the Elder Scrolls Series started with Morrowind....
