Bloody 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 85	We all know that remaking games from the past has been a trend the last few years, but a majority leaves a lot to be desired. So what remake/comeback do you think sucks? I`ll start with mine The New NARC Space Invaders Remake The Asteroid Remake

Off the top of my head DCK2 was pretty bad and DKC3 was horrendous.

Dawg 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 484	I'd have to disagree with the Pong remake... that is, if you're referring to the game that was released on the [u]PC[/u]. On the PC, they released several "classic" Atari games that were updated to today's graphics for a budget price of $20.00. Some of those included Q-Bert, Combat, Defender, Missle Command, Pong, Breakout... and I think a couple others. MOST were really neat & fun-to-play, especially Missle Command & Pong... Combat I remember was pretty bad, though. I'd like to see a computer re-make of Yars-Revenge, and not just a GBA release of it, among a few other classics & "classics" (ie: late 80's) re-made for today's computers (or consoles). I'd also have to disagree with the Bond games after Goldeneye... sure, the "From Russia With Love" may not have been the best (although I like it)... two of the best Bond games in single player are 007: Everything or Nothing & 007: Nightfire. Both games had great in-game cut-scenes that really brought you into the action as well as the overall presentation & graphics with gameplay that was quite intreging. It had a LOT more depth than Goldeneye... however, Goldeneye still wins out on multiplayer, but the single player action of the 2 Bond games w/ Pierce Bronsan really were spectacular and made you want to play so you can see what's ahead. The one I was MOST disappointed in, however, would have to be NARC because I was really looking forward to an update of one of my most favorite arcade games. I know there are others, but that's one that stands out the most since Midway usually releases fun/arcady games. Area 51 was a decent re-make from what I played so I can't dis that one.

System 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 74809	There's a new Rampage coming out, maybe it already is. It didn't look too promising though. Altered Beast was remade for PS2, I haven't had a chance to try it yet though, anybody here have?

Dawg 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 484	The new Rampage looks REALLY sweet (unfortunately, it's PS2, and not X-Box bound )... especially comparing the old Rampage was OK, but rather blech compared to the other re-release back in 1996. Rampage: World Tour. That may have been downed by critics because of its repetitious gameplay... but that's exactly what the original was! Although I haven't played it yet... the new Final Fight looks like a loser. The newer Ghouls & Ghosts (Maximo) is a great re-make. The SEGA Classics on PS2 which featured souped up graphics, but no option for the original... was also a dud. It's usually hit-or-miss, depending on if the game can stand the test-of-time and actually make it to times of a whole-new-level & dimension. Ninja Gaiden being possibly the best example of how to do it right.

Notice Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Double Dash are the same thing.

Don't you agree.

Not my idea of fun. God, I agree. I have Driver for the PC and the first "training" level was just insanely hard and stupid. I just used a code to pass it so I could go on to the regular game. Even then I only cared about driving around, so I played as far as unlocking all the cities and didn't bother with the rest of the game. Since then GTA3 has replaced it for my driving needs.

ChowTimer 8 years 8 months ago Posts: 125	Final Fight Streetwise, which only came out about last month was a disgrace to the excellent Final Fight series for the SNES. I loved the original ones and then Capcom made the game horrible with this new one (You can't even play as Haggar or Cody). The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games have been much worse as well compared to the earlier classics for the SNES, arcade, and NES.
	ROSEBUD.... yes, rosebud frozen peas. Full of country goodness and GREEN PEANESS. wait that's terrible, I QUIT! oh what luck, there's a french fry stuck in my beard. -The Critic
