With all the Remakes/Remasters happening these days, what's a classic PlayStation series you would like to see getting some love?
For me personally, I would love to see the Resistance series get some love. A collection with all the titles, including PSP, added together with upgraded graphics would be nice but I would really love to see a new entry into the series.
It's that or Legend of Dragoon but that's a real long shot.
Parasite Eve
I remember rumors of a new Parasite Eve being in production a while ago and it still hurts that it hasn't been made real. It would be nice to see them just remade with some modern-ish graphics.
This is one of those games that never got the love it deserved. I bought it when it first came out because it was made by Square and feel in love immediately within the first hour. Who knows. With all this nostalgia running wild.. they may just bring this back.
It will never happen, and I know there's the rest of the Xeno games, but definitely Xeongears is high on my wishlist.
That would be a dream come true. At the very least they could give us a remaster of Xenogears since they showed some love to Star Ocean recently.
What do you think they’d do with disc 2? Simply remaster/remake it as is or make it as intended?
I would love for them to make it as is and go big but they would most likely consolidate as much as they could on to one disc.
I like the sound of them going big. I’d even be happy with Octopath Traveller type visuals as long as it meant more budget for expanding on the second disc to include more gameplay.
Agreed. I'm fond of this graphical choice. Octopath Traveler was a phenomenal looking game and I wish they could use this style or that of the new Star Ocean on more classics games of this genre.
Dark Cloud or Blast Radius.
I'd love an actual remaster of ape escape. The rerelease is fine and all just the controls are really showing their age now a days.
Drakengard!
Parappa the Rapper taught me it was all in the mind. We need a remake for the next generation of children!
I recently tried to go back to Parappa (as an adult now) and I cannot believe I ever enjoyed that game. That song is ingrained in my head forever and yet the game itself is soooo terrible. The timing is off, even when attempting to play to the song rather than what’s displayed, and it’s just maddening.
If you use an emulator, it would introduce input latency. If you use a modern TV, it would introduce display latency, and if you use a Bluetooth headset/speakers, it would introduce audio latency.
The latency could make music games unplayable.
Why would using an emulator introduce input latency? Literally no other game on the emulator has any issues with input. It’s just Parappa and it doesn’t matter if I use keyboard or controller or whether it’s wired or wireless.
Dot hack IMOQ :(
Sly Cooper. That thing needs some love.
Also, the GTA got its "remastered" "trilogy" but the PSP Stories titles were forgotten.
Sly Cooper would be fantastic on modern hardware. Thieves in Time is a lot better when emulated because it fixes the game's most glaring flaw compared to the PS2 games: load times. I can only imagine a Sly game designed to be run off an NVMe drive with modern graphical capabilities. I wonder how its art style would be adapted to higher fidelity.
I played the PS3 remaster (first game) and it works and looks great. It wouldn't really need much to be modernized. The style is more cartoony 2D-like look and that should remain I think. The modern R&C look wouldn't fit it too well, imo.
Culdept 2, monster rancher
Kinetica! And if you feel the same you can join me over at the community I made. 😁
Not as a remake, but I'd like to have the previous Tekken games available on one console. So Tekkens 3 to Tag 2. The one I'd like most is Tekken 4 though.
Racing game-wise, as a remake or re-release, I'd love Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge (though it's not strictly Playstation only).
Burnout was one of two racing games I got addicted too in my very short racing collection. :) The other being Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. It would be nice to see a new entry into the series but I don't know if there is a market to revisit the series with all the popularity of Need for Speed, Gran Turismo, etc. One could dream though.
Carnage Heart, a modernized version of this could be really fun with modern online multiplayer you could run your robots against tons of others in the blink of an eye giving you quick feedback on how your tweaks to the code affects your standings.
