Remastering old games has become quite the trend in the video game industry. With games such as Resident Evil and Final Fantasy VII getting remasters, many can’t help but hope some of their beloved games will get a remaster. Here’s a list of some of the games that I feel deserve a chance to be made for gamers both new and old.
Parasite Eve
An amazing horror RPG game that debuted during the Resident Evil craze, Parasite Eve was about a mutant virus born from experimentation on mitochondria in human bodies. It causes an outbreak in New York City around Christmas time and it’s up to its heroine Aya Brea to stop it. With a graphical overhaul to HD, this game could once again become a terrifying adventure.
Spyro
One of Playstation’s flagship characters, Spyro became a hit among gamers. However, he was not included in Playstation All-Stars. Spyro’s games were a fun little adventure in the same vein as such games as Crash Bandicoot at the time of it’s release. A remaster of this series would be a welcome addition to many family households and to old fans as well.
Lunar Silver Star Story
Lunar Silver Star Story is a JRPG that attracted a cult following in the early 2000s. With a compelling storyline and amazing characters, it was a shame this game did not get a sequel. A remaster of this wonderful tale would look wonderful among the collections of RPG fans.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Symphony of the Night is one of the most legendary titles of the Castlevania series. The player takes control of Alucard, the son of Dracula as he awakens unexpectedly from his eternal slumber. Dracula’s Castle has appeared once more and Richter Belmont is missing. To this day, this game in the long running series has been a number one favorite. A remaster of this game would be something amazing and wonderful if done.
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker/ Ocarina of Time
Two of the most popular titles in the Zelda series. Both released on the 64 and gamecube consoles. Perhaps a remaster on the new Nintendo Switch could help Nintendo bring back old fans to the newer console.
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Another cult favorite among RPG fans, Chrono Trigger told the tale of a group of friends who accidentally wind up traveling through time to fight an ancient evil bent on destroying reality. It was remade some years ago with anime cutscenes after fans petitioned for it. If remastered, it should include the sequel Chrono Cross to tell a complete tale and let fans relive their favorite moments.
Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.
According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.
More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.
Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!
Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.
Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.
IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.
Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.
Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?
Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.
Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.
Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
How do you view Epic’s timing and pricing increase?
