Games that NEED remaking/rebooting ASAP

[MarioMark]

I wanna see a PSN remake of the original arcade Ridge Racer 1&2. Just leave it as it was but with shiny new graphics, Ridge Racer 6 handling, original music and no nitro boosts. Just call it Ridge Racer HD.

I would rather a straight port. Ridge Racer 6 handling is boring and will break the game.

How about some Night Trap?

There's a Kickstarter hoping to amass $330.000 in order to revamp it.

Hopefully they somehow reward the people who bought it before.

You get rewarded by getting to be smug that you played it first.

Just remembered one, Flat Out Ultimate Carnage on the 360, loved that game

I spotted a copy of G Police at Play.Expo.

I used to love that game! Well overdue for a reboot.

G-Police Game Sample - Playstation:

Hunter is getting the HDer treatment in a fan remake.

G police needs a remake. The setting makes it like the perfect game to debut new tech.

The Thing. Anyone mention that yet?

The game was broken to **** but the idea was brill. If someone had executed it well it could have been superb.

Many Wii games could use an update on the WiiU. I've missed out on many Wii games and they look quite awful IMO. On top of that I think the Wiimote is the worst controller ever so an updated controller scheme could work wonders.

Haven't read the thread so it maybe in there, would love to see Eternal Darkness HD.

While that game is currently not receiving a HD remake, which it bloody should, the devs were/are doing a kick starter for a sort of sequel of the game, to be released within an episodic structure. However the whole thing seemed very patchy, and the last thing I heard about it was an update post on its development about a year ago now on their Facebook page... I am not holding my hopes up for it, I get the feeling it's currently in development hell. But I could be, (and I do hope), that I'm wrong. Time will tell I guess.

Yie Ar Kung-Fu, for those not in their forties yet, it was a classic arcade/home game from the mid-eighties

Yie Ar Kung Fu was pretty incredible for its day.

[VR46]

Agreed, looks so dated now, but it was almost 30 years ago. Spent many a happy day playing it on the Spectrum.

Have you played One Finger Death Punch?

It's one of my favourite Indie Arcade games on the 360, but it's also on Steam.
Although it's not a one-on-one fighter, it's got a similar vibe to Yie Ar Kung Fu and IK+, especially with the speed and sound effects.
It's a brilliant game and I keep dipping back into it. I played it last week and although I've completed the map, I was replaying the levels trying to make no misses and take no hits. Addictive!
