Which Retro Games Need Remakes?

[Omegajak]

If you know me, then you'll know I hold a very special place in whatever it is I have instead of a heart for the original two Medal of Honor titles. Seeing as EA is run by chimps that have been lobotomized via buckshot, though, I'd rather they stayed put.

Then there's Blood Omen and Soul Reaver. I know I link these articles every time Legacy of Kain comes up, but if you haven't read them, well... read them. Thing is, I'd want the rest of LoK discarded. Blood Omen rebuilt in Soul Reaver's style, and Soul Reaver with Amy Hennig's original story completed. The issue with THAT is the fact that the brand is now owned by Squeenix (which itself is run by colossal fuckhats), and I have a particular hatred for Nomura's art "style" wherein he starts drawing and then never fucking stops. Then there's the issue with the original Blood Omen being partially owned by Activision (why is this post so full of companies I hate?), and because they're all dickbags, they'll sit on it just because it's a potential threat. Can't even get the original on Good Old Games because of the fuckers.

But I'd love to see a remastered Morrowind with combat that doesn't suck.

Ooh, and an exact conversion of the original Unreal into Unreal Engine 3. I just gave myself a boner.

If I could get Super Metroid in Other M style I'd probably just instantly die because that'd probably be the best Metroid game of all time, hands down. OR OR Can i get all 3 Prime games in Other M style too? PLEASE?

Oh, thanks for reminding me! While we're talking pipe dreams, a Metroid game that retcons Other M out of existence. FUCK Yoshio Sakamoto, FUCK his revisionist bullshit take on what was supposed to be a strong female protagonist, and FUCK that linearity. Not trying to chastise you for liking Other M (seriously!), but every inch of that abomination fills me with a violence I don't know what to do with. Even Hunters' single-player portion bothered to at least be fun.

So, uh, another Metroid game developed by Retro Studios would be pretty rad. Keep dat first-person shit.

Rai....Rai...stop.

Don't say words like that. Those words wound me. Can you imagine SR388 in 3D? Can you imagine no cut scenes just pure isolation and ambience. I'm not here telling you Other M's story was amazing because I'm not. What I'm saying is everyone loving the Prime series games I do not understand. I don't know WHEN Samus EVER became an archaeologist or when this series was MORE compelling as first person but I need those to stop being innate desires of dear friends. Other M was exactly what Metroid looks like in 3D and though not executed properly was a Metroid game with isolation, different pathways alternate routes and that contains the aspect of speed running.

Rai, I love you.
