What the video game industry should do.

[Agent Proto]

Remakes of old classics.

Well, they should do that with graphics and make them harder or something.

I think it'll work. Either that, or make more sequels to forgotten great games. *shrugs*

Anyway, what do you think the industry should do?

[Del Murder]

They should remake Mappy Land.

[Xander]

I don't think they should remake them necessarily, or make sequels (like Toejam and Earl 3 )

What I think they should do, or what I'd like them to do anyway, is to bring out some sort of Playstation game collection of loads of old games from various platforms. Particularly the old Sonic games. And they'd be pretty much the same except for you'd be able to save your progress, meaning you wouldn't have to sit down and play Sonic 2 in one go

And they should bring out all the old Amiga and C64 games for Playstation too. *nod*

Bring back 2D fighting games, the only fighting game that should remain 3D is Soul Calibor. Also they need to have RPG games with random battle sequences (Your running in a field an a bad guy would leap out of nowhere and try to kill you) and make the fighting format like a fighting game, and as you play you can unlock button sequences to perform new moves, if they made a game like that I'd buy it.

You mean like Xenogears?

[Erdrick Holmes]

No,no,no. I'm talking like the fighting sequences would be like Street Fighter, no turn based stuff, no ATB stuff either.

Apparently they need to do something quick.

So a cross between Zelda and Xenogears?

I think the gaming industry should stop making sequals and expansion packs, or remaking old "classics," and start making something that's actually original for once. I don't want to play the same game with a different title over and over again.

That's the Tales Of... series you're talking about: Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destiny 2 (aka Tales of Eternia) on PS; Tales of Destiny 2 (which isn't the same as the one on PS, go ask Namco about stupid naming) on PS2.

Isn't that what they are doing?

Metroid Prime, Ninja Gaiden are sequels

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, Resident Evil(gamecube) are remakes. Also Lunar Silver Star.

I own all those games and I like a new sequel to all the old ass games but I would prefer some more original stuff that DOESN'T SUCK!

The whole concept of project .hack is something that really appealed to me. I would love to see more grand projects like that.

[Agent Proto]

True, but they need to make more and more if they want to make some mondo cash, as gamers are known to buy games they recognize rather than probably try something new, unless the original game is proven to be good stuff.

[Erdrick Holmes]

They also need to quit makins Superhero based games, most of those suck ass. Aquaman blew in seven different colours, the only good superhero game that was good was Spiderman.

[BatChao]

Batman: Vengeance and Rise of Sin Tsu weren't too bad either.

As for what the gaming industry should do... I say just keep making games fun. I could care less if the game is original, a remake, or a sequel. If it's fun, I'll play it. Of course, reinventing genres is always good. Splinter Cell's new multiplayer, for example, is awesome.

[Maxico]

they are doing that. They've remade space invaders (twice on ps2), contra, gradius. And the thing that relates all of these games the most is that they sold about 3 copys. We live in a world where the majority of gamers first console was their ps1, they send letters into magazines commenting on how its good that they made a game based on that sonic cartoon. And if anything before the sega saturn is metioned they give you a blank look and walk off. So the companys see this and if they have a choice between making the next spyro or crash bandicoot or remaking a classic retro game who's major fanbase works in an office from 9 till 8 what are they going to choose.

[Erdrick Holmes]

They also need to get Doom 3 released!
