I love these types of ox videos. There's such a nice energy between everyone. I enjoy the funny off-camera commentary while each person is giving their class presentation 😂.
For me it would be Dragon age: Origins, but given the same treatment as Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, with all The DLC, add-on's and promotional in game items.
@@Zzdragon_simpzZ Thank you for the positive comment, I will also say That Jade Empire would do well with a reboot/remake, it is criminally underated some times.
I was so excited for Jane to say Dragon Age Origins. Then for her to pick Red Dead? Jane! We need more streams from you playing RPGs like when you played Inquisition!
@@leonardquirm She knows which of the experiments got loose. And how long it will take for them to cause a total collapse of all world infrastructure as a result. So she wants her remasters before the window closes.
Surprised you didn't mention that Enslaved Odyssey to the West was made by Ninja Theory, the same studio that made Heavenly Sword and Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, the former of which also featured a fantastic Andy Serkis performance.
Never heard of it and it's reasonably priced on ebay so it's on my list of games to check out! The one good thing about being late to the console party is rediscovering gems that people are passionate about.
F.E.A.R would be an incredible game to remake with a new engine. As would the first Condemned game. Monolith did a really good job with both of those. FEAR is 18 years old now, and showing its age visually, and it would be incredible with an Alien: Isolation type of visual style.
Brutal Legend, that was such a cool weird world and it would be awesome to see it remastered and no doubt looking even more awe inspiring and/or creepy to explore around.
Honestly an iconic performance by Jack Black too. The whole game was just surprisingly involved and the homage to rock icons and music evolution to form the world building as well as music playing a fundamental mechanic. Like a Heavy Metal Ocarina of Time. A lot of people didn't like the RTS bits but I really enjoyed it.
I would absolutely love a remake of Brütal Legend! Main thing to improve would be the combat/big battles cause I remember that getting so frustratingly difficult and repetitive. But the world and the characters were so well realised that it more than made up for it haha
Enslaved Oddysey to the West is such an underrated game. I wish they made a sequel so they can elaborate on the ending, which was left a bit open-ended.
20:03 Got to be honest. What hooked me to this video was the thumbnail of Trip of Odyssey to the West. I never knew about the names, didn't recognize Andy Serkis as Monkey, and now I now Trip is Mosely, the big girl from Ned's survival guide. No wonder that such a modest game caught so much my attention, considering too the DMC writers
Okay, hearing Enslaved in this list made my day. This game really is super underrated. It deserves an HD remaster. Another that I think would be deserving of being on this list? Folklore! A game about Irish folktales, beasts and fae, intertwined with a murder mystery! That's the stuff!!
You, sir, are speaking my language. Both those games hold up very well. The constant need to capture new fae just to find out what they can do in Folklore is...addicting to say the least.
I really think that Force Unleashed deserves a remaster or sequel. I know it’s difficult since it’s technically non cannon but still I think it’s great.
The Force Unleashed, Republic Commando & All the Dark Forces Games. My head cannon is that Kyle Katarn found the plans to the Death Star. I don't care how good Rogue One was!
It apparently was gonna get a 3rd sequel but it got scrapped. I loved force unleashed and the 2nd one too wish we got that 3rd instead of crapy movies lol
Force Unleashed is the best Star Wars action game. in what other Star Wars game can you so freely control the rag dolls of enemies like storm troopers with the best telekinesis in gaming and turn them into literal lightning grenades. ignoring the PSP/Wii ports where they replace that with the pansy choke. Vader is iconic but choking is kid friendly compared to becoming a human grenade. i can't take Vader's choke seriously anymore, the Robot Chicken sketch ruined it for me because it being the officers playing along with his delusion so they don't get murdered by a light saber is too funny. though the choke in the Force Unleashed boss fight is infuriating. the rest of that fight is fantastic.
I would love a Fallout: New Vegas remake! It was made through a collaboration between Obsidian and Bethesda and they have both since been acquired by Microsoft, so the possibility is there. It's one of my all time favourites, would love to see a graphical update for it.
Enslaved was an awesome game. I played it back when rental was still an option so I could only play it once but it's engraved in my memory. The story and characters were unforgettable, the setting is quite interesting and the gameplay was engaging
I would love a proper Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I &II remake. The story is so good, and you truly feel the rise in power with your character. However, you need unofficial mods just to run the game on PC. Two of the best Star Wars games that have ever been released
That's not true. I can run both without mods. Though KotOR does tend to crash at times, and KotOR II is played best with the total restoration mod. That doesn't stabilize it though, that just restores cut content. Anyway, I would like good (Very important) remakes of these games, and I'd love if they were action RPGs with the same level of depth and nuance to the lightsaber combat as the Jedi series. My thinking is, we already have the original KotOR RPGs. Beyond improved graphics, we don't really need to remake the same game, not unless we switch things up and do something interesting And at the same time we can have remasters of the original games (WIth restored cut content) so everyone can enjoy KotOR the way they want to
@@TheViper4Life It was more like an announcement that they started development more than anything, and not only is it in development hell, Sony removed the announcement trailer! So we're back to square zero with no foreseeable remake
Of these 5 - the one I'd really want is Enslaved and if they still have the original 'video' recordings, they could really bring even more of the actors character to these too - their facial expression and emotion... It was such a great story - some refinements here and there - maybe the 'game' they truly envisioned now with modern day hardware not as restricting as it was back then....
It wasn’t hardware restrictions that made the combat so rubbish, the platforming a pretty obvious string of canned animations, nor that made you do so much of both. It’s a beautiful world, but I don’t think it’s…actually much fun to interact with
Completely agree with Mike. Breaks my heart that it is so overlooked. I enjoyed TLoU, but nowhere near as much as Enslaved. Looking through my list, my saving throw would be for Alpha Protocol. Morally ambiguous choices (a given, being an Obsidian game) that actually did impact on the missions, objectives and difficulties later in the game, romance options, an RPG spy thriller. A bit like Alien: Isolation, it was hobbled by Metacritic (Sega cut payments to Obsidian because it scored 78, not 80+). It also encouraged you to approach spycraft by choosing your actions between the 3 B's: Bauer, Bond or Borne? That allowed for interesting options, that could be hilarious if you say, picked the Bauer approach to a Bond situation.
Jade Empire, such a fantastic game and definitely needs a remaster or remake. Lost Odyssey as well, unfortunately it didn't sell as well as bigger titles but I love it and have a physical copy but would like to see it brought in the modern graphical times.
it is constantly heartbreaking to me that mistwalker seems to exclusively make games for platforms i don't have access to and are very against the idea of rereleases
Recently been playing Lost Odyssey and agree 100%. Some pretty great voice acting. Nobuo Uematsu is still a fantastic composer and every minute of it feels like a Final Fantasy game. Mistwalker does do re-releases though, as long as it's a Blue Dragon title. 😂 never played those either but been seeing a lot about them recently. That's the problem with collaborations like Lost Odyssey, is that so many people are involved with is composition but usually only one company has the rights for it. If that company doesn't see money in it then it usually doesn't happen.
The Wolverine game was awesome! I just wish I could play it now that I'm older, but just not possible anymore. I hope the Insomniac one can live up to it or even be better!
This definitely seems different with less cuts and edits and just saying and improvising whatever with the others reacting, and it was HILARIOUS that way!😂
Absolutely agree on prototype and wolverine. Had such a blast playing them back in the day. Maybe they're not the "best" games out there, story-wise, but they sure are loads of fun and give you exactly what you want when you play.
My man Mike didn't let me down! As for the rest, I'm not mad, just disappointed. Not a single mention of Dragons Dogma? The combat is still ahead of our time, 11 years later. That and Enslaved are my favourite PS3 era games, followed by FF13 and Borderlands 2.
I NEED an HD Remaster of American McGee's Alice games. Imagine those games with the combat mechanics of Arkham or Insomniac's Spider-Man games. It would be INSANE.
McGee wanted to make a third entry to the series but was denied by, I think, EA. They also refused to release the IP so McGee could work on his own. Of course, how he handled the situation wasn't all too proper either but it's still sad we never got a third American McGee's Alice.
@@Typhon-vs3dw Unfortunately, he was just working on a pitch book for part 3 to show to EA, which was funded through Patreon. When EA rejected the pitch, the people who funded his efforts got pretty pissed off. There was a bit of backlash surrounding that situation.
Remaster of Madness Returns, remake of Alice. Alice did not age well lol unfortunately as someone else said, that’s never gonna happen. EA has no interest in making any other games
If they can adjust the story in some way, I would love a "The Darkness" or "The Darkness 2" remake. The story wasn't the best, but the gameplay was pretty satisfying and not something we see a lot.
I'd totally forgot about The Darkness; I played the hell (literally) out of the demo! Suuch a good game and the visual style was amazing. A remake/remaster would be very welcome :)
Force Unleashed 1&2, Medal of Honor Airborne, War fighter and the reboot, The Darkness 1&2 are very much needed and are super underrated, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1&2, Warhammer Space Marine, The Saboteur, Bionicle Heroes, Mercenaries 2 World in Flames, Assassin's Creed 1 (full remake in my opinion), Battlefield Bad Company 1&2, Brütal Legend, Bully, Command & Conquer series, Dante's Inferno, Dragon Age Origins and 2, Fable Series, Far Cry Instincts Predator and Classic and 2. Fallout 3& New Vegas
An 'Enslaved: Odyssey to the West' would need to keep the "glitch" of making the game accidentally harder/soft-locked if you have graphics settings to 'low'. The mines' radius don't show up except on the mini-map, and building destruction isn't enabled, which prevents a couple major fights from starting, as they can't break through the wall into the arena to initiate the fight!
Remember very fondly booting up the ps3, putting in the enslaved disk, the game icon appears, the ps3 background changes to a gameplay video and the main theme starts playing... I just knew I was in for a good time... But before you did any of that, you had a comic that came in the box of the game.. When did we give up that awesomeness for early access buggy messes of games?? Wolverine's main theme was badass too!
Yessssss, amazing list. Dude Enslaved remains one of my all-time favourites, SUCH a gorgeous, creative game! Wolverine was also a banger, loved the healing factor visuals. And YES Luke for Prototype and NO Ellen for Infamous. Prototype represented SUCH freedom in that genre, the chance to actually do as you please, for better or worse. And the story was actually compelling, dipping into the Web of intrigue was so much fun (finding those last few people on the map to absorb was an adrenaline hit). It remains the only game I can think of where you can grab an old granny, run up the largest building in New York, and sail through the sky before powerbombing her into a tank. Checkmate, Infamous. Oh, and commenter edition entry: Psi-Ops Mindgate Conspiracy. By far one of the most fun games ever made, absolute hidden gem. I know that's OGXbox but it was SO GOOD, THOUGH! Psychic soldier, capable of telekinesis, pyrokinesis, mind control, and best of all, pretty much all usable simultaneously thanks to a very clever control scheme. The story was willfully silly which only added to the charm (characters in flashbacks given wild afros) but the star of the show was the gameplay. Came out same time as Second Sight but outshone it in every regard, imo. If I must choose X360 only, then it's Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena. Whilst itself an updo of Butcher Bay from OGXbox, it was an outstanding and innovative game, the first I can think of that when all light sources are off just gave the player absolute black. And the first time melee and stealth was done REALLY well in a first person game. Was the story amazing? No, but it was capable, and served to put Riddick in all kinds of interesting locations to do what he does. I'd love to see a suped up version given all the trimmings.
I'm so glad someone is finally speaking out for X-Men Origins Wolverine. I played every level on every difficulty and got all the achievements, save one. It was light-years better than a movie tie-in game has a right to be. And light-years better than the movie it was tied into.
The Wolverine game was awesome! I just wish I could play it now that I'm older, but just not possible anymore. I hope the Insomniac one can live up to it or even be better!
It was initially meant to be a stand-alone game, in the same vein as Batman: Arkham Asylum (not saying it's inspired by it, it's my best available reference), but eventually the studio was told to make it a tie-in, and thereby arguably made it worse. Btw, tell me a Wolverine game in the same vein as Spider-Man's recent outings wouldn't be amazing
Fun fact: it’s one of those games that saves everything to your gamertag, rather than a discrete save file, so if you dig out a copy at CEX or whatever your saves may well be intact! Marvel Ultimate Alliance did the same thing and my save data was absolutely there when I bagged a secondhand copy recently
@@feloniousbolus4842 Actually, when I look at my achievement list, there are TWO achievements I missed. Devil's Brigade (30g) and Walking Death (50g). Devil's Brigade is for finding all the dog tags in the game. (If memory serves I was only missing one.) And Walking Death was for beating the game on Hard Difficulty. I got to the last boss (Deadpool) and his incessant warping away from me proved to be too much for my blood pressure so I had to walk away.
What we really need is a MotorStorm 2 remake/remaster, since there is nothing comparable at the moment. If they find the time, they should also put all the tracks from one and three (throw the story of three in the trash) into it, so that you have one single hub for all the tracks.
I vote for more of Rockstars Bully or Bully 2. I can absolutely hear Scott Summers yelling "Ah Wolverine no!" and Hugh Jackman Wolverine, "Ah WOLVERINE YES!!" as he just decimates a whole platoon of mooks. The tag line of "Prototype, why not?" with a shrug also got my attention more than it should have. I'm afraid I missed the RDR train. never tried them myself, but I know a lot of friends who would absolutely play that.
it would be awsome to have dragon age orgins remade and have the main character have a voice like in all the other dragon age games after all these years
20:06 Oh my god, I did not expect Enslaved: Odyssey to the West on this list! I LOVED that game back in the day! The music (especially the XMB Title Screen Music) was fantastic and the game itself was both beautiful and very fun to play. Nice suggestion on Mike's part! :D
I remember really liking Eternal Sonata when I played it on the Xbox 360 what seems like a millenia ago. Beautiful game, beautiful music, but I remember none of the story outside of you play as Frédéric Chopin on his death bed having a fever dream that turns into a turn based jrpg. And that is fantastic!
A *spectacular* JRPG. Best music of any game, obv, but the graphics were gorgeous, the story touching, it played like a charm. Wonderful game. (I want to say Trusty Bell in Japan?)
I would really love a remake from an older, much older video game: Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, but going the path the developers originally intended (Without the time travel but actually killing the last brother, then Kain and activating the sound weapon in the chapel)
A-tier choice, Soul Reaver was staggering for the time. SO well executed. I'd love to see a general "Legacy of Kain" game made taking into account several in the series, bring the whole franchise into the modern era.
Soul Reaver, Dino Crisis, Eternal Darkness, Vagrant Story, Tenchu 1 and 2, and so many more awesome ps1 games have been due for a remake for a long long time.
@@magnuswendin7924 Sure thing, but Blood Omen would need a High Level full remake because the gameplay is very dated. Change the topdpwn view for a 3d action, like the sequels, add some new mechanics, but keep the story the same.
agreed with Mike. Now knowing the voice actor/face capture for Monkey, I now have a deeper appreciation for the game. It was so simple but so difficult of a game, I loved it
Andy's choice of Wolverine and his curiosity about the laser scenes in RE4 Separate Ways makes me want to recommend the new Robocop game to him. One of the Auto-9 upgrades is more gore lol
One game I recalling really loving when it came out was "War In The North" where you play as a trio or a Ranger, an Elf and a Dwarf who are fighting a series of distraction missions to divert attention away from Frodo and the Fellowship, only they end up going up against some allies of Sauron who are rather powerful in their own right. It was kinda like a prototype of "Shadow Of Mordor" just with dismemberment's that almost rivalled the "Xmen Origin Wolverine" and you could switch between all three playable characters. Best of all it had it's own version of a New Game Plus which meant you kept all your levels, gear and so on, and could get progressively more and more powerful and basically murder your way through Middle Earth in a manner that makes Merilwen's Meat Grinder look like a mild disagreement in a school yard.
you just brought back so much nostalgia of me and my friend sitting on the couch at unholy hours fighting the final boss. I would love to see this game come back remastered.
Oh, there was also the turn based rpg The Third Age. The late to the party fellowship, sometimes brushing up with the main story of the ring. Though wandering the world was sluggish as hell.
I'd love to see a remake of The Saboteur. That game wasn't given enough love by EA as they were too busy running Pandemic into the ground so they could close them. However... same generation but on the Wii is an insane amount of games that really need updating and putting out on modern platforms; No More Heroes 1 & 2 and Madworld spring instantly to mind.
God, I loved that when it came out. Iirc it kept crashing because it had horrible optimization for AMD graphic cards, but the game was a blast. Iconic looks as well.
Those were the best. I recently replayed them. I think my favorite though has to be the first one. Those old school health pack systems really are nostalgic.
Asuras Wrath. One of the most insane stories ever committed to video gaming, a "punch to shut up" option, spectacular scope for visual improvement. Sad to see it didn't make your list.
I don't know if anyone remembers...but they did make a Deadpool game (starring Nolan North) as Deadpool 3 will confirm... he's not much different from Wolverine in terms of concepts. One, a fast healing, enraged "knife-maniac" with his own adamantium bone claws. The other, an immortal, wise-cracking mercenary.... Both unkillable (although I'm pretty sure - I may be wrong - Wolverine can die) both slash people up easily...These two games have proved they can be done (in Deadpool, his suit didn't regenerate when he got shot so he too kept the gunshot wounds)
OxBoxtra team with great timing as always! Always pulling for a Parasite Eve remake, but recently learned the only way to play the game at all now is to shell out HUNDREDS of dollars for a physical copy or digital via specific PS3 marketplaces. With the recent success of the Resident Evil remakes, FF7R, and Alan Wake II, Parasite Eve feels like a perfect melding of those concepts and ripe for a polish and re-release (if not a full remake).
Another vote for Parasite Eve. FF7R has most of the pieces for it, with the half realtime/half turn based combat and more cinematic visuals. It's baffling that SquareEnix didn't do anything with it yet. Same with Vagrant Story (one of their most unique games, in my opinion) and Front Mission. They seem to simple let these IP's gather dust.
@@randommeasures4618 Is it? I didn't knew that. I don't think licensing would be hard to overcome, but yeah, with SquareEnix, it's really hard to tell.
Folklore. It was a PS3 game heavily influenced by Irish folklore, and had a pretty cool combat system where you defeat the enemies and then steal their souls, in this case called an "Id", and then can summon them. Or, in the case of the game's supporting character, use them like a Stand out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Wouldn't even need a remake, just a port that upped the framerate, sped up the loading times, and maybe include some extra monsters to collect
I would like to see a remaster of Remember Me. DontNod has had _wild_ success with several titles over the years, but their first foray into the world of video games went underappreciated. It was a straightforward, linear 3D beat-em-up with a design-your-own combo system where you could put certain moves together to deal heavy damage, reset cooldowns, or some combination of both. Unfortunately bland female protagonist didn't convince a lot of people but it had an interesting cyberpunk-lite premise dealing with memories and what it might mean if someone could edit those memories.
I wanted to like this game, but the time mechanic wasn't good, and they sold that. Life is strange was the game everyone wanted. If we need more action, I say bring back prince of Persia
I almost forgot about Remember Me (pun not intended). I liked that game and it's one of the few games I've 100% completed, but after completing it I just kinda got bored of it and haven't played it since.
OMFG! I have been wanting a soul reaver game forever. I refuse to play Shadows of Mordor because they scraped Soul Reaver 3 to make it. You can still find Gameplay of the alpha for Soul Reaver 3 on TH-cam and see the majesty that it would have been and then live the horror that they turned it into Shadows of Mordor.
@Jakerwilliamson are you talking about the game with two souls sharing a body? That game looked interesting. Imagine the original on this new tech. My only hesitant is the same voice actors won't be available, and modern devs might ruin the story to suit their political views instead of just bringing it forward.
Probably an out-of-pocket pick, but I would love for Capcom to remake Resident Evil: Code Veronica since it's just so cool and weird and different. I loved it despite never managing to fix it because I was confused and stuck. Also, Devil May Cry 2! They can't make that game any worse. Only better! And then we can actually stop making fun of it! It can only go up from where it is now!
You guys need to do a side by side comparison of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction from PS2/Xbox and the original Prototype. Both are from the same developer and they re-used most of the animations from H:UD in Prototype.
Look, you won't get it until you play the game for yourself. I give you six hours before you become disturbingly into dismembering screaming victims too :P
Man, Prototype would be such a good one. The mass destruction you could cause, the way you could slice things up, but really the movement was what set it apart for me. The sheer speed you can explore around, even just instantly in the heat of the moment to escape and find some civs to heal yourself with. I think you under rate the story here too, it's not fantastic, but it definitely had a few interesting points in there, even if it wasn't delivered particularly well. I did like how the Web of Intrigue system was done as well, find the VIPs and find a way to eat them to find out more about the story via their memories.
Oh man...I just had the wonderful but impossible idea of blending the Web from prototype with the nemesis system from the Shadows games. Imagine micro boss battles against targets you have a reason to hunt.
Great to see Enslaved get some love. I have played through that so many times, on I find myself going back over and over again... would love to see that landscapes in that game in the new fidelity offered
I'm honestly suprised Dragon Age Origins didn't make it on this list. With how popular it is, a remake for ps4/ps5 would be fantastic. An update to the character models, as well as incorporating all dlc into the actual game, therefore fixing a ton of bugs that were prevalent in the Awakening DLC. Not to mention, it would be an easy way for them to finally connect Inquisition and Origins, so your Warden and Inquisitor can appear in the upcoming Dreadwolf, just as Hawks did in Inquisition. And also give me updated cute Alistair, thank yooou
Well they are making a remaster of Beyond Good & Evil called Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition. It was leaked on accident by Ubisoft themselves and is set to release sometime in (probably early) 2024.
Mike you are a God!!! I wanted that game remaster so much!!!! I couldn't get my platine over the old game because streaming from PS store is awful and there is some bits where you have to get all the pelots in a timed space and the timer is always screwed on those...
Much love to Mike for his pick, never would've guessed he would be the one to bring up Enslaved. Together with TLOU and Prince of Persia 2008 it's part of my "great companion chemistry" trilogy.
Would love a Resistance: Fall of Man remake. Enslaved is a good recommendation, was amazing at the time but I went back to it years later and I think it was the controls that put me off, definitely deserves a remake and would benefit more than some others from an update. Have red dead on ps4 and it plays fine, would still take an upgrade tho!
Blur and Split/Second were so good! I think Blur would look absolutely incredible with new assets, graphics, and ray tracing. The aesthetics were just incredible
Totally agree about Enslaved, and I think Mike mentioned it a few times before. It's decently playable, at least on PC, and a remake could polish a bit of it's edges. Short and packed with action, I highly recommend it. Also, Jane is really in a "doom and gloom/passage of time" phase these days. She *really* might know something that we don't. 😨😅
That's because she knows something got out of the lab. What it can do. And how long it will take to bring society to it's knees. She just wants to have a little bit of fun while the clock counts down.
Having just watched someone replay it, quite honestly the game really stands up to this day. Because it had a distinct art style, in the same sense as Dishonoured, with the skinny, disheveled people and the exaggerated proportions, it remains a really colourful gorgeous game. Ofc it could benefit from a big old texture update, but as it stands it remains beautiful and harsh.
For many of the same reasons that Andy and Luke chose Wolverine and Prototype, I have been itching for an Asura's Wrath remake with each new console generation. If you want over-the-top action and power tripping, you can't get any over-the-top-er than this insane, adrenaline-filled beat-em-up. Meanwhile, with quite a bit less visceral violence is another one of my favorite games: Okami. It's had ports and some upscaling, but I wouldn't call them complete graphical/mechanical overhauls. Imagine how pretty all the paintbrush effects would look with current gen graphics! The only extra thing I'd ask is for them to maybe go in and fully voice the dialogue so I can convince my less literate friends to play it.
What I would like to see remastered is an older PC game - Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. It tick both the traditional fantasy Role Playing but combined with a Steampunk aesthetic which is sort of coming back into vouge with the Lies of P. Also the opening for Baldurs Gate 3 is very reminisent to the opening of Arcancum.
I really just want to take the map and manuals I still have for that game, and use them to help write up a TTRPG conversion. Savage Worlds, I'm thinking, but maybe Cortex or the Year Zero Engine...
I’ve been holding out hope for a Singularity remaster. I think Activision owes it, so perhaps Microsoft will do something with it after the Activision acquisition. Fingers crossed!
Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2 need a remaster ahead of Dreadwolf! EA already remastered the Mass Effect Trilogy, now we just need to see Hawke and the Warden in HD with all of their sweet rays traced.
An overlooked PS3/360 era game I'd like to see brought back would be Alpha Protocol. It was a fun RPG that let you tackle stealth missions in a variety of ways.
Hunted: the Demon's Forge was an AWESOME and completely underrated single player or co-op 360 game. Decent but not overly complex story, fun mechanics, a simple good/bad ending, and a completely customizable arena mode where you can fight endless hordes of enemies!
'Folklore' is a game that NEEDS a remaster. Absolutely loved that game, and its a gem that not many people ended up playing, but they definitely should. Its like an Evil Dead graphic novel made in japan and the protagonists have stands- its so good.
The game I need to be fully remade is from the DS. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It’s such a good story, but the hardware and the time limited them somewhat. I would love to be able to play it in the KH3 engine. Also, give us a second story when you beat the game to play the whole game from Xion’s POV.
I would def love to see The Darkness get a remaster/remake. I much preferred the original realistic look of the first game and imagining it with modern graphics and taking advantage of all the new lighting for the stealth...could be amazing. Also would love to see the Condemned series get the same treatment. And in doing so maybe we could finally get both entries of each series onto the PC!
I love the captions used for Ellen's and Luke's off-camera noises as Andy was talking about the Wolverine game. That game sounds like very good fun and while I don't play superhero games, I'd be willing to give that one a go. My one would be Spec Ops: The Line. My laptop can't handle gaming anymore even though it is on Steam and it's very obviously not available for the PS5, which is where I do all my gaming these days. I'd like to be able to play it. They can pretty it up, but the main thing would be to improve the controls since I've heard the controls were a bit bad. Then everyone can get traumatized again while looking at lovely graphics. I'm not sure if it counts as being an overlooked game or not though.
I vote for the 2010 Aliens vs Predator game. The Alien and Predator campaigns were really fun sneaking around impaling marines, and the marine campaign was a serviceable FPS. I don’t know why GameInformer reamed it, I loved it. My only complaint is that the final boss of the Predator campaign doesn’t have an execution, he just falls over dead when his health runs out.
I haven t heard that name in ages but those were so hard and creepy growing up and that would make a good remake as long as they dont make it too much like the resident evil games.
I love these types of ox videos. There's such a nice energy between everyone. I enjoy the funny off-camera commentary while each person is giving their class presentation 😂.
For me it would be Dragon age: Origins, but given the same treatment as Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, with all The DLC, add-on's and promotional in game items.
i very much agree Dragon Age Orgins deserves a remake
@@Zzdragon_simpzZ Thank you for the positive comment, I will also say That Jade Empire would do well with a reboot/remake, it is criminally underated some times.
Literally my first thought as soon as I saw the title of the video was "Dragon Age: Origins better be on this list"
I was so excited for Jane to say Dragon Age Origins. Then for her to pick Red Dead? Jane! We need more streams from you playing RPGs like when you played Inquisition!
was my immediate first thought DA : origins and DA 2 with modern graphics oh YES
Jane: "I don't wanna alarm anyone"
Also Jane: immediately alarms everyone
From off-camera "What do you know, Jane?" Meanwhile I was just thinking her words sounded like a threat...
@@leonardquirm She knows which of the experiments got loose. And how long it will take for them to cause a total collapse of all world infrastructure as a result. So she wants her remasters before the window closes.
I've got to say, it warms my heart to see so many people remember Enslaved fondly. It sucks that it did so poorly sales wise.
I didn't know that it was Andy Serkis. Seeing him as Monkey made me want to do mocap where they make me look totally jacked, too.
Surprised you didn't mention that Enslaved Odyssey to the West was made by Ninja Theory, the same studio that made Heavenly Sword and Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, the former of which also featured a fantastic Andy Serkis performance.
Great game and story.
I loved Heavenly Sword
Hellblade was awesome too
That makes sense because Tripp looks *exactly* like Heaven's Blade's protaganist
Thank you Mike! “Enslaved: Odyssey to the West” was and is still a phenomenal game that deserves a lot more recognition!
I'd honestly written it of for years for whatever reason but after this and hearing who all worked on it I really want to give it a shot now.
@@Pear_Trees as a soda once told me, “dew it!”
Why I still have my 360
Never heard of it and it's reasonably priced on ebay so it's on my list of games to check out! The one good thing about being late to the console party is rediscovering gems that people are passionate about.
I loved this game. Mike was so real for this
F.E.A.R would be an incredible game to remake with a new engine. As would the first Condemned game. Monolith did a really good job with both of those. FEAR is 18 years old now, and showing its age visually, and it would be incredible with an Alien: Isolation type of visual style.
May I introduce you to Trepang² on PC? It's not fully F.E.A.R. but it's a decent spiritual successor.
Agree. Condemned: Criminal Origins is one of the greatest survival horror games ever.
Yes!
Yes! Seconded!
Maybe remastering the Condemned duology would help Monolith want to make the last entry in the series.
Brutal Legend, that was such a cool weird world and it would be awesome to see it remastered and no doubt looking even more awe inspiring and/or creepy to explore around.
Honestly an iconic performance by Jack Black too. The whole game was just surprisingly involved and the homage to rock icons and music evolution to form the world building as well as music playing a fundamental mechanic.
Like a Heavy Metal Ocarina of Time. A lot of people didn't like the RTS bits but I really enjoyed it.
This would be my choice to! Also imaging bbq-ing demons with guitar solos or calling in an effin burning blimp
The fact we won’t be getting Brütal Legend 2 is a travesty
I would absolutely love a remake of Brütal Legend! Main thing to improve would be the combat/big battles cause I remember that getting so frustratingly difficult and repetitive. But the world and the characters were so well realised that it more than made up for it haha
Hell yes, I came looking for this comment. I want more heavy metal!
Enslaved Oddysey to the West is such an underrated game. I wish they made a sequel so they can elaborate on the ending, which was left a bit open-ended.
20:03 Got to be honest. What hooked me to this video was the thumbnail of Trip of Odyssey to the West.
I never knew about the names, didn't recognize Andy Serkis as Monkey, and now I now Trip is Mosely, the big girl from Ned's survival guide. No wonder that such a modest game caught so much my attention, considering too the DMC writers
I love this format of videos where everyone gets to talk about a game they are passionate about - please do more like this!
Okay, hearing Enslaved in this list made my day. This game really is super underrated. It deserves an HD remaster.
Another that I think would be deserving of being on this list?
Folklore! A game about Irish folktales, beasts and fae, intertwined with a murder mystery! That's the stuff!!
Really? It was a bad game. Replay it.
You, sir, are speaking my language. Both those games hold up very well. The constant need to capture new fae just to find out what they can do in Folklore is...addicting to say the least.
I loved enslaved. A polish would be great.
Yes I adore folklore it’s such a great game love the mythology and mystery!
Folklore used that six-axis controller function. It wouldn't work now unless you redid that with a different control scheme.
I really think that Force Unleashed deserves a remaster or sequel. I know it’s difficult since it’s technically non cannon but still I think it’s great.
I really want a Republic Commando remake as well!
The Force Unleashed, Republic Commando & All the Dark Forces Games. My head cannon is that Kyle Katarn found the plans to the Death Star. I don't care how good Rogue One was!
Are they not? Is Starkiller base not a confirmation of such?
Shame if so.
It apparently was gonna get a 3rd sequel but it got scrapped. I loved force unleashed and the 2nd one too wish we got that 3rd instead of crapy movies lol
Force Unleashed is the best Star Wars action game. in what other Star Wars game can you so freely control the rag dolls of enemies like storm troopers with the best telekinesis in gaming and turn them into literal lightning grenades. ignoring the PSP/Wii ports where they replace that with the pansy choke. Vader is iconic but choking is kid friendly compared to becoming a human grenade. i can't take Vader's choke seriously anymore, the Robot Chicken sketch ruined it for me because it being the officers playing along with his delusion so they don't get murdered by a light saber is too funny. though the choke in the Force Unleashed boss fight is infuriating. the rest of that fight is fantastic.
Enslaved is such a good game and has so much sass between the characters. It's a really smooth game and a fun story.
I would love a Fallout: New Vegas remake! It was made through a collaboration between Obsidian and Bethesda and they have both since been acquired by Microsoft, so the possibility is there. It's one of my all time favourites, would love to see a graphical update for it.
Enslaved was an awesome game. I played it back when rental was still an option so I could only play it once but it's engraved in my memory. The story and characters were unforgettable, the setting is quite interesting and the gameplay was engaging
I would love a proper Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I &II remake. The story is so good, and you truly feel the rise in power with your character. However, you need unofficial mods just to run the game on PC. Two of the best Star Wars games that have ever been released
That's not true. I can run both without mods. Though KotOR does tend to crash at times, and KotOR II is played best with the total restoration mod. That doesn't stabilize it though, that just restores cut content.
Anyway, I would like good (Very important) remakes of these games, and I'd love if they were action RPGs with the same level of depth and nuance to the lightsaber combat as the Jedi series. My thinking is, we already have the original KotOR RPGs. Beyond improved graphics, we don't really need to remake the same game, not unless we switch things up and do something interesting
And at the same time we can have remasters of the original games (WIth restored cut content) so everyone can enjoy KotOR the way they want to
I agree! I’d love to play it with current gen graphics and mechanics.
Well we did have the announcement a couple years ago of the KOTOR remake for PS5, but the game is apparently in development hell right now.
@@TheViper4Life It was more like an announcement that they started development more than anything, and not only is it in development hell, Sony removed the announcement trailer!
So we're back to square zero with no foreseeable remake
There was a fan remake project in the works, but it got shut down.
Of these 5 - the one I'd really want is Enslaved and if they still have the original 'video' recordings, they could really bring even more of the actors character to these too - their facial expression and emotion...
It was such a great story - some refinements here and there - maybe the 'game' they truly envisioned now with modern day hardware not as restricting as it was back then....
It wasn’t hardware restrictions that made the combat so rubbish, the platforming a pretty obvious string of canned animations, nor that made you do so much of both. It’s a beautiful world, but I don’t think it’s…actually much fun to interact with
@@beesforbreakfast both of those could be easily solved though
A remake of Enter the Matrix would be cool. Also, going back a little farther, Advent Rising. Loved that one
You're right! The game was so much fun! Silly, sure, but fun! And it really wouldn't need anything but better graphics, so quite a prime candidate.
enter the matrix had some very bad reviews and i understand why.
What i cant understand is how much fun i had with that game 🙂
Completely agree with Mike. Breaks my heart that it is so overlooked. I enjoyed TLoU, but nowhere near as much as Enslaved.
Looking through my list, my saving throw would be for Alpha Protocol. Morally ambiguous choices (a given, being an Obsidian game) that actually did impact on the missions, objectives and difficulties later in the game, romance options, an RPG spy thriller. A bit like Alien: Isolation, it was hobbled by Metacritic (Sega cut payments to Obsidian because it scored 78, not 80+). It also encouraged you to approach spycraft by choosing your actions between the 3 B's: Bauer, Bond or Borne? That allowed for interesting options, that could be hilarious if you say, picked the Bauer approach to a Bond situation.
Jade Empire, such a fantastic game and definitely needs a remaster or remake.
Lost Odyssey as well, unfortunately it didn't sell as well as bigger titles but I love it and have a physical copy but would like to see it brought in the modern graphical times.
it is constantly heartbreaking to me that mistwalker seems to exclusively make games for platforms i don't have access to and are very against the idea of rereleases
I've started playing JE and totally agree, its still a pretty game but oh my god please do something with it!
Jade Empire's soundtrack still pops into my head once in a while.
Recently been playing Lost Odyssey and agree 100%. Some pretty great voice acting. Nobuo Uematsu is still a fantastic composer and every minute of it feels like a Final Fantasy game. Mistwalker does do re-releases though, as long as it's a Blue Dragon title. 😂 never played those either but been seeing a lot about them recently. That's the problem with collaborations like Lost Odyssey, is that so many people are involved with is composition but usually only one company has the rights for it. If that company doesn't see money in it then it usually doesn't happen.
Andy perfectly described why that Wolverine game was great and now I want one too damn it 😭
Love these more free-form specials you guys do 😊
The Wolverine game was awesome! I just wish I could play it now that I'm older, but just not possible anymore. I hope the Insomniac one can live up to it or even be better!
I actually still have the pc disc :P does mean I have keep getting drives, but worth it…going to reinstall now
This definitely seems different with less cuts and edits and just saying and improvising whatever with the others reacting, and it was HILARIOUS that way!😂
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 it definitely lets their chemistry shine!
@@WulfRanger I have it too, but I don't have a disk drive XD
Andy is absolutely right, wolverine origins was an incredible game. So glad that it's been given a bit of love again!
Absolutely agree on prototype and wolverine. Had such a blast playing them back in the day. Maybe they're not the "best" games out there, story-wise, but they sure are loads of fun and give you exactly what you want when you play.
My man Mike didn't let me down! As for the rest, I'm not mad, just disappointed. Not a single mention of Dragons Dogma? The combat is still ahead of our time, 11 years later. That and Enslaved are my favourite PS3 era games, followed by FF13 and Borderlands 2.
I NEED an HD Remaster of American McGee's Alice games. Imagine those games with the combat mechanics of Arkham or Insomniac's Spider-Man games. It would be INSANE.
McGee wanted to make a third entry to the series but was denied by, I think, EA. They also refused to release the IP so McGee could work on his own. Of course, how he handled the situation wasn't all too proper either but it's still sad we never got a third American McGee's Alice.
@@LrdVnm I think he is or was working on a Kickstart for part 3
@@Typhon-vs3dw Unfortunately, he was just working on a pitch book for part 3 to show to EA, which was funded through Patreon. When EA rejected the pitch, the people who funded his efforts got pretty pissed off. There was a bit of backlash surrounding that situation.
@LrdVnm Aww man. Unfortunate
Remaster of Madness Returns, remake of Alice. Alice did not age well lol unfortunately as someone else said, that’s never gonna happen. EA has no interest in making any other games
If they can adjust the story in some way, I would love a "The Darkness" or "The Darkness 2" remake. The story wasn't the best, but the gameplay was pretty satisfying and not something we see a lot.
I'd totally forgot about The Darkness; I played the hell (literally) out of the demo! Suuch a good game and the visual style was amazing. A remake/remaster would be very welcome :)
Here's to hoping the likes of Nightdive Studios would reacquire the former.
Good, I'm not the only one who thought of it. Story wasn't bad, though, and we still need a third
The gameplay for the Darkness was fucking spot on and make me feel like an actual power god
I was not aware Andy and Luke were so so nostalgic for senseless destruction and mayhem.
Why are you booing them, they're right!
This comment reeks of pretentious snobbery
It is a joke comment..... not an actual judgement on their choice.
@@TheExmes that changes little
@@notproductiveproductions3504 This thread reeks of pretentious snobbery, and it's not coming from TheExmes. :|
Force Unleashed 1&2, Medal of Honor Airborne, War fighter and the reboot, The Darkness 1&2 are very much needed and are super underrated, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1&2, Warhammer Space Marine, The Saboteur, Bionicle Heroes, Mercenaries 2 World in Flames, Assassin's Creed 1 (full remake in my opinion), Battlefield Bad Company 1&2, Brütal Legend, Bully, Command & Conquer series, Dante's Inferno, Dragon Age Origins and 2, Fable Series, Far Cry Instincts Predator and Classic and 2. Fallout 3& New Vegas
An 'Enslaved: Odyssey to the West' would need to keep the "glitch" of making the game accidentally harder/soft-locked if you have graphics settings to 'low'. The mines' radius don't show up except on the mini-map, and building destruction isn't enabled, which prevents a couple major fights from starting, as they can't break through the wall into the arena to initiate the fight!
I think this form of unscripted videos are my favourite. I will periodically rewatch the ones about music or amazing bosses. They’re just the best.
The Army of two franchise definitely deserves to be on this list. The game was fun, had a good co-op and fun gun/character customization
Absolutely. Me and my best friend used to pour hours into this game when we were kids.
THE FACT THAT PROTOTYPE IS ON THIS LIST has solidified this channel as my favorite! It was my absolute favorite in the 360 back in the day.
Remember very fondly booting up the ps3, putting in the enslaved disk, the game icon appears, the ps3 background changes to a gameplay video and the main theme starts playing...
I just knew I was in for a good time... But before you did any of that, you had a comic that came in the box of the game.. When did we give up that awesomeness for early access buggy messes of games??
Wolverine's main theme was badass too!
Yessssss, amazing list. Dude Enslaved remains one of my all-time favourites, SUCH a gorgeous, creative game! Wolverine was also a banger, loved the healing factor visuals. And YES Luke for Prototype and NO Ellen for Infamous. Prototype represented SUCH freedom in that genre, the chance to actually do as you please, for better or worse. And the story was actually compelling, dipping into the Web of intrigue was so much fun (finding those last few people on the map to absorb was an adrenaline hit). It remains the only game I can think of where you can grab an old granny, run up the largest building in New York, and sail through the sky before powerbombing her into a tank. Checkmate, Infamous.
Oh, and commenter edition entry: Psi-Ops Mindgate Conspiracy. By far one of the most fun games ever made, absolute hidden gem. I know that's OGXbox but it was SO GOOD, THOUGH! Psychic soldier, capable of telekinesis, pyrokinesis, mind control, and best of all, pretty much all usable simultaneously thanks to a very clever control scheme. The story was willfully silly which only added to the charm (characters in flashbacks given wild afros) but the star of the show was the gameplay. Came out same time as Second Sight but outshone it in every regard, imo.
If I must choose X360 only, then it's Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena. Whilst itself an updo of Butcher Bay from OGXbox, it was an outstanding and innovative game, the first I can think of that when all light sources are off just gave the player absolute black. And the first time melee and stealth was done REALLY well in a first person game. Was the story amazing? No, but it was capable, and served to put Riddick in all kinds of interesting locations to do what he does. I'd love to see a suped up version given all the trimmings.
Mercenaries 2 was a blast and totally deserves a remake.
Mercenaries 1 was great, 2 was not.
_Both_ Mercenaries games need remakes, then see the groundswell of support and make a third one.
More Mercenaries!
Thank you for reminding me of a forgotten but very enjoyable game series.
Bonus points if they use that cute li'l ditty they did when it first came out to market it. XD
I'm so glad someone is finally speaking out for X-Men Origins Wolverine. I played every level on every difficulty and got all the achievements, save one. It was light-years better than a movie tie-in game has a right to be. And light-years better than the movie it was tied into.
The Wolverine game was awesome! I just wish I could play it now that I'm older, but just not possible anymore. I hope the Insomniac one can live up to it or even be better!
It was initially meant to be a stand-alone game, in the same vein as Batman: Arkham Asylum (not saying it's inspired by it, it's my best available reference), but eventually the studio was told to make it a tie-in, and thereby arguably made it worse.
Btw, tell me a Wolverine game in the same vein as Spider-Man's recent outings wouldn't be amazing
Fun fact: it’s one of those games that saves everything to your gamertag, rather than a discrete save file, so if you dig out a copy at CEX or whatever your saves may well be intact! Marvel Ultimate Alliance did the same thing and my save data was absolutely there when I bagged a secondhand copy recently
What was the 1 trophy you didn't get???
@@feloniousbolus4842 Actually, when I look at my achievement list, there are TWO achievements I missed. Devil's Brigade (30g) and Walking Death (50g). Devil's Brigade is for finding all the dog tags in the game. (If memory serves I was only missing one.) And Walking Death was for beating the game on Hard Difficulty. I got to the last boss (Deadpool) and his incessant warping away from me proved to be too much for my blood pressure so I had to walk away.
What we really need is a MotorStorm 2 remake/remaster, since there is nothing comparable at the moment. If they find the time, they should also put all the tracks from one and three (throw the story of three in the trash) into it, so that you have one single hub for all the tracks.
I didn't play Infamous but I think the comment about prototype being the Saint's row to Infamous' GTA was spot on 😂
I vote for more of Rockstars Bully or Bully 2.
I can absolutely hear Scott Summers yelling "Ah Wolverine no!" and Hugh Jackman Wolverine, "Ah WOLVERINE YES!!" as he just decimates a whole platoon of mooks. The tag line of "Prototype, why not?" with a shrug also got my attention more than it should have. I'm afraid I missed the RDR train. never tried them myself, but I know a lot of friends who would absolutely play that.
Dragon Age: Origins, this game introduced me into modern game play and I love this series!
it would be awsome to have dragon age orgins remade and have the main character have a voice like in all the other dragon age games after all these years
"Enchanment"
20:06 Oh my god, I did not expect Enslaved: Odyssey to the West on this list! I LOVED that game back in the day! The music (especially the XMB Title Screen Music) was fantastic and the game itself was both beautiful and very fun to play. Nice suggestion on Mike's part! :D
Same!! Did NOT see it coming but couldn't help but be excited enough to "YES!!!" out loud.
I remember really liking Eternal Sonata when I played it on the Xbox 360 what seems like a millenia ago. Beautiful game, beautiful music, but I remember none of the story outside of you play as Frédéric Chopin on his death bed having a fever dream that turns into a turn based jrpg. And that is fantastic!
A *spectacular* JRPG. Best music of any game, obv, but the graphics were gorgeous, the story touching, it played like a charm. Wonderful game. (I want to say Trusty Bell in Japan?)
this is also my choice. I wish it would have been added to the backwards compatability to Xbox One.
I would really love a remake from an older, much older video game: Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, but going the path the developers originally intended (Without the time travel but actually killing the last brother, then Kain and activating the sound weapon in the chapel)
A-tier choice, Soul Reaver was staggering for the time. SO well executed. I'd love to see a general "Legacy of Kain" game made taking into account several in the series, bring the whole franchise into the modern era.
Soul Reaver, Dino Crisis, Eternal Darkness, Vagrant Story, Tenchu 1 and 2, and so many more awesome ps1 games have been due for a remake for a long long time.
Soul Reaver remake would be great. A Blood Omen remake would be even greater.
@@magnuswendin7924 Sure thing, but Blood Omen would need a High Level full remake because the gameplay is very dated. Change the topdpwn view for a 3d action, like the sequels, add some new mechanics, but keep the story the same.
@@TheAzulon Would sure require more work.
agreed with Mike. Now knowing the voice actor/face capture for Monkey, I now have a deeper appreciation for the game. It was so simple but so difficult of a game, I loved it
Andy's choice of Wolverine and his curiosity about the laser scenes in RE4 Separate Ways makes me want to recommend the new Robocop game to him. One of the Auto-9 upgrades is more gore lol
One game I recalling really loving when it came out was "War In The North" where you play as a trio or a Ranger, an Elf and a Dwarf who are fighting a series of distraction missions to divert attention away from Frodo and the Fellowship, only they end up going up against some allies of Sauron who are rather powerful in their own right. It was kinda like a prototype of "Shadow Of Mordor" just with dismemberment's that almost rivalled the "Xmen Origin Wolverine" and you could switch between all three playable characters. Best of all it had it's own version of a New Game Plus which meant you kept all your levels, gear and so on, and could get progressively more and more powerful and basically murder your way through Middle Earth in a manner that makes Merilwen's Meat Grinder look like a mild disagreement in a school yard.
This is one of the most entertaining comments ive ever read and i now want that too
@@skyethenerd1054 Cheers, we can only hope :)
you just brought back so much nostalgia of me and my friend sitting on the couch at unholy hours fighting the final boss. I would love to see this game come back remastered.
Oh, there was also the turn based rpg The Third Age. The late to the party fellowship, sometimes brushing up with the main story of the ring. Though wandering the world was sluggish as hell.
I played that with my husband. It was fun. I would like a remaster.
I'd love to see a remake of The Saboteur. That game wasn't given enough love by EA as they were too busy running Pandemic into the ground so they could close them. However... same generation but on the Wii is an insane amount of games that really need updating and putting out on modern platforms; No More Heroes 1 & 2 and Madworld spring instantly to mind.
Yes, The Saboteur! That game was fantastic and did some really amazing stuff but never got the attention it deserved
God, I loved that when it came out. Iirc it kept crashing because it had horrible optimization for AMD graphic cards, but the game was a blast. Iconic looks as well.
I was entirely about the Resistance: Fall of Man trilogy! Was in love with that 1950's necropunk style and the twist on Iron Curtain Fiction
Those were the best. I recently replayed them.
I think my favorite though has to be the first one.
Those old school health pack systems really are nostalgic.
I would love to have a Lost Planet 1 and 2 remaster. The series was fun to play and had interesting mechanics and story
Asuras Wrath. One of the most insane stories ever committed to video gaming, a "punch to shut up" option, spectacular scope for visual improvement. Sad to see it didn't make your list.
...And have the true ending of Asura's Wrath be released as DLC
@@richdelaney9500 I mean, full experience go, amirite? Real talk it kinda sucked. Bought them both on sale, so my investment was a bit lower :D
I don't know if anyone remembers...but they did make a Deadpool game (starring Nolan North) as Deadpool 3 will confirm... he's not much different from Wolverine in terms of concepts. One, a fast healing, enraged "knife-maniac" with his own adamantium bone claws. The other, an immortal, wise-cracking mercenary.... Both unkillable (although I'm pretty sure - I may be wrong - Wolverine can die) both slash people up easily...These two games have proved they can be done (in Deadpool, his suit didn't regenerate when he got shot so he too kept the gunshot wounds)
OxBoxtra team with great timing as always! Always pulling for a Parasite Eve remake, but recently learned the only way to play the game at all now is to shell out HUNDREDS of dollars for a physical copy or digital via specific PS3 marketplaces. With the recent success of the Resident Evil remakes, FF7R, and Alan Wake II, Parasite Eve feels like a perfect melding of those concepts and ripe for a polish and re-release (if not a full remake).
Another vote for Parasite Eve. FF7R has most of the pieces for it, with the half realtime/half turn based combat and more cinematic visuals. It's baffling that SquareEnix didn't do anything with it yet. Same with Vagrant Story (one of their most unique games, in my opinion) and Front Mission. They seem to simple let these IP's gather dust.
@@terrabits I have wondered if PE hasn't gotten a remake because of licensing issues since it's based on a novel, but who knows.
@@randommeasures4618 Is it? I didn't knew that. I don't think licensing would be hard to overcome, but yeah, with SquareEnix, it's really hard to tell.
You have no idea how happy I was to see Trip in the thumbnail!
Folklore. It was a PS3 game heavily influenced by Irish folklore, and had a pretty cool combat system where you defeat the enemies and then steal their souls, in this case called an "Id", and then can summon them. Or, in the case of the game's supporting character, use them like a Stand out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Wouldn't even need a remake, just a port that upped the framerate, sped up the loading times, and maybe include some extra monsters to collect
X-Men origins was incredible! Lost count of the number of times I replayed that game
I would like to see a remaster of Remember Me. DontNod has had _wild_ success with several titles over the years, but their first foray into the world of video games went underappreciated. It was a straightforward, linear 3D beat-em-up with a design-your-own combo system where you could put certain moves together to deal heavy damage, reset cooldowns, or some combination of both. Unfortunately bland female protagonist didn't convince a lot of people but it had an interesting cyberpunk-lite premise dealing with memories and what it might mean if someone could edit those memories.
I wanted to like this game, but the time mechanic wasn't good, and they sold that. Life is strange was the game everyone wanted. If we need more action, I say bring back prince of Persia
The real strength of Remember Me was the soundtrack. SO GOOD.
I almost forgot about Remember Me (pun not intended). I liked that game and it's one of the few games I've 100% completed, but after completing it I just kinda got bored of it and haven't played it since.
This isn't the same generation, but I really want the Soul Reaver games remade. Those were some of my favorite games.
OMFG! I have been wanting a soul reaver game forever. I refuse to play Shadows of Mordor because they scraped Soul Reaver 3 to make it. You can still find Gameplay of the alpha for Soul Reaver 3 on TH-cam and see the majesty that it would have been and then live the horror that they turned it into Shadows of Mordor.
@Jakerwilliamson are you talking about the game with two souls sharing a body? That game looked interesting. Imagine the original on this new tech.
My only hesitant is the same voice actors won't be available, and modern devs might ruin the story to suit their political views instead of just bringing it forward.
@@9usuck0 Yup. it was canned and they turned it into Shadows of Mordor
@Jakerwilliamson shadow was an alright game. I don't like games that ruin lore of franchises, though. So I never got too into it.
Probably an out-of-pocket pick, but I would love for Capcom to remake Resident Evil: Code Veronica since it's just so cool and weird and different. I loved it despite never managing to fix it because I was confused and stuck. Also, Devil May Cry 2! They can't make that game any worse. Only better! And then we can actually stop making fun of it! It can only go up from where it is now!
cv is one of the games that benefit from the remake treatment the most
they could even try to make Steve likeable
currently in the works by def1
You guys need to do a side by side comparison of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction from PS2/Xbox and the original Prototype.
Both are from the same developer and they re-used most of the animations from H:UD in Prototype.
Wow! No wonder! The whole time watching the Prototype footage I was like: “This SO reminds me of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction”. I loved that game.
I love it when you do these where you each just talk about something you like.
Andy is entirely too into dismembering people while they scream for mercy. And Jane said the quiet thing out loud. :D
Look, you won't get it until you play the game for yourself. I give you six hours before you become disturbingly into dismembering screaming victims too :P
Man, Prototype would be such a good one. The mass destruction you could cause, the way you could slice things up, but really the movement was what set it apart for me. The sheer speed you can explore around, even just instantly in the heat of the moment to escape and find some civs to heal yourself with.
I think you under rate the story here too, it's not fantastic, but it definitely had a few interesting points in there, even if it wasn't delivered particularly well. I did like how the Web of Intrigue system was done as well, find the VIPs and find a way to eat them to find out more about the story via their memories.
Oh man...I just had the wonderful but impossible idea of blending the Web from prototype with the nemesis system from the Shadows games. Imagine micro boss battles against targets you have a reason to hunt.
Enslaved Odyssey to the West getting a shoutout made my day!!
Great to see Enslaved get some love. I have played through that so many times, on I find myself going back over and over again... would love to see that landscapes in that game in the new fidelity offered
I'm honestly suprised Dragon Age Origins didn't make it on this list. With how popular it is, a remake for ps4/ps5 would be fantastic. An update to the character models, as well as incorporating all dlc into the actual game, therefore fixing a ton of bugs that were prevalent in the Awakening DLC. Not to mention, it would be an easy way for them to finally connect Inquisition and Origins, so your Warden and Inquisitor can appear in the upcoming Dreadwolf, just as Hawks did in Inquisition.
And also give me updated cute Alistair, thank yooou
I'm thinking a remaster of Beyond Good and Evil. A visual upgrade + improved controls = brilliant!
I'm sure that's just after they ship Beyond Good and Evil 2.
They did remaster Beyond Good and Evil. It was a while ago, but they did.
@@Thomas-fb5tfnot really, they just made it 720p lol
Well they are making a remaster of Beyond Good & Evil called Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition. It was leaked on accident by Ubisoft themselves and is set to release sometime in (probably early) 2024.
X-Men Origins was an AWESOME game! I hope the Insomniac one is just as good if not better!
Mike you are a God!!! I wanted that game remaster so much!!!! I couldn't get my platine over the old game because streaming from PS store is awful and there is some bits where you have to get all the pelots in a timed space and the timer is always screwed on those...
Much love to Mike for his pick, never would've guessed he would be the one to bring up Enslaved. Together with TLOU and Prince of Persia 2008 it's part of my "great companion chemistry" trilogy.
Would love a Resistance: Fall of Man remake. Enslaved is a good recommendation, was amazing at the time but I went back to it years later and I think it was the controls that put me off, definitely deserves a remake and would benefit more than some others from an update. Have red dead on ps4 and it plays fine, would still take an upgrade tho!
Arcade racing game fan here, we've been waiting for a new MotorStorm, Blur and/or Split/Second for ages! A remaster would definitely help.
Blur and Split/Second were so good!
I think Blur would look absolutely incredible with new assets, graphics, and ray tracing. The aesthetics were just incredible
Blur was amazing! I went back to it like 6 years ago to get the platinum and the game was still a blast to play.
I would add: Ridge Racer
Totally agree about Enslaved, and I think Mike mentioned it a few times before. It's decently playable, at least on PC, and a remake could polish a bit of it's edges. Short and packed with action, I highly recommend it.
Also, Jane is really in a "doom and gloom/passage of time" phase these days. She *really* might know something that we don't. 😨😅
That's because she knows something got out of the lab. What it can do. And how long it will take to bring society to it's knees. She just wants to have a little bit of fun while the clock counts down.
I think I would have enjoyed an Alice: Madness Returns remaster, in addition to all of these, 'cause they all looked pretty cool!
I would too, sadly this will never happen as American McGee doesn't want anymore since he had problems with EA.
Having just watched someone replay it, quite honestly the game really stands up to this day. Because it had a distinct art style, in the same sense as Dishonoured, with the skinny, disheveled people and the exaggerated proportions, it remains a really colourful gorgeous game. Ofc it could benefit from a big old texture update, but as it stands it remains beautiful and harsh.
Odyssey to the west is a game I only ever had the demo for. It's crazy to find it here!
For many of the same reasons that Andy and Luke chose Wolverine and Prototype, I have been itching for an Asura's Wrath remake with each new console generation. If you want over-the-top action and power tripping, you can't get any over-the-top-er than this insane, adrenaline-filled beat-em-up.
Meanwhile, with quite a bit less visceral violence is another one of my favorite games: Okami. It's had ports and some upscaling, but I wouldn't call them complete graphical/mechanical overhauls. Imagine how pretty all the paintbrush effects would look with current gen graphics! The only extra thing I'd ask is for them to maybe go in and fully voice the dialogue so I can convince my less literate friends to play it.
Motorstorm definitely deserves a remake or a new game, I still can't believe there hasn't been a proper one since the PS3
What I would like to see remastered is an older PC game - Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. It tick both the traditional fantasy Role Playing but combined with a Steampunk aesthetic which is sort of coming back into vouge with the Lies of P. Also the opening for Baldurs Gate 3 is very reminisent to the opening of Arcancum.
I really just want to take the map and manuals I still have for that game, and use them to help write up a TTRPG conversion. Savage Worlds, I'm thinking, but maybe Cortex or the Year Zero Engine...
I want to be able to kill every single Gnome and still be able to finish the main quest.
THANK YOU MIKE, was obsessed with Enslaved and also so sad there was no sequel. A remaster is also acceptable
I loved Enslaved Odyssey to the West. It has the most awesome water traversal i have ever seen in any video game with that hover board.
I’ve been holding out hope for a Singularity remaster. I think Activision owes it, so perhaps Microsoft will do something with it after the Activision acquisition. Fingers crossed!
The ps3/360 era was so chock full of forgettable FPS games that true gems like this one got lost in the shuffle.
Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2 need a remaster ahead of Dreadwolf! EA already remastered the Mass Effect Trilogy, now we just need to see Hawke and the Warden in HD with all of their sweet rays traced.
An overlooked PS3/360 era game I'd like to see brought back would be Alpha Protocol. It was a fun RPG that let you tackle stealth missions in a variety of ways.
Obsidian jank aside, and the 'meh' early missions, that game was phenomenal, so much attention to detail.
I absolutely loved Prototype and was 100% not expecting to see it on this list, I'm delighted.
Hunted: the Demon's Forge was an AWESOME and completely underrated single player or co-op 360 game. Decent but not overly complex story, fun mechanics, a simple good/bad ending, and a completely customizable arena mode where you can fight endless hordes of enemies!
Wouldn't say they are overlooked but Dragon Age Origins & Dragon Age 2 definitely need a remake
'Folklore' is a game that NEEDS a remaster. Absolutely loved that game, and its a gem that not many people ended up playing, but they definitely should. Its like an Evil Dead graphic novel made in japan and the protagonists have stands- its so good.
YES! THANK YOU! I will sing that game's praises from the rooftops until the end of time, it is a CRIME that it went so overlooked!
Hellyeah! I love that game, my sister and I played it so much! On a trip to Ireland last year, my friend and I went to the village of Doolin!
@@CharlesHenryVolk WAIT DOOLIN IS A REAL PLACE??????? =O
The game I need to be fully remade is from the DS. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It’s such a good story, but the hardware and the time limited them somewhat. I would love to be able to play it in the KH3 engine. Also, give us a second story when you beat the game to play the whole game from Xion’s POV.
I would def love to see The Darkness get a remaster/remake. I much preferred the original realistic look of the first game and imagining it with modern graphics and taking advantage of all the new lighting for the stealth...could be amazing. Also would love to see the Condemned series get the same treatment. And in doing so maybe we could finally get both entries of each series onto the PC!
I love the camaraderie and sheer love of fun in games and friendship these folks display on this channel. Always love visiting here. Makes my day.
I think what would be fun is for Rockstar to do a remake of Bully and then surprise us with Bully 2
Can they please do one of these for the PS2/OG Xbox Era? Crimson Skies, Morrowind, and Scaler all need some love but are well before the PS3/360 era.
I would absolutely LOVE a Tony Hawk’s Project 8 remake. Not a super well known game but an awesome one for sure.
i vote for enslaved. its a gem. also how ingame is switching to cut scene was soo good. but as it was a $ desaster go for the xsx xss 360 version
I love how excited Andy was talking about the Wolverine game, and all the laughter in the background.
I'd really love to see Lost Planet 1+2 remastered! Fighting giant Kaiju in mech suits would be amazing in proper 4k!
I love the captions used for Ellen's and Luke's off-camera noises as Andy was talking about the Wolverine game. That game sounds like very good fun and while I don't play superhero games, I'd be willing to give that one a go.
My one would be Spec Ops: The Line. My laptop can't handle gaming anymore even though it is on Steam and it's very obviously not available for the PS5, which is where I do all my gaming these days. I'd like to be able to play it. They can pretty it up, but the main thing would be to improve the controls since I've heard the controls were a bit bad. Then everyone can get traumatized again while looking at lovely graphics. I'm not sure if it counts as being an overlooked game or not though.
I vote for the 2010 Aliens vs Predator game. The Alien and Predator campaigns were really fun sneaking around impaling marines, and the marine campaign was a serviceable FPS. I don’t know why GameInformer reamed it, I loved it. My only complaint is that the final boss of the Predator campaign doesn’t have an execution, he just falls over dead when his health runs out.
Also fun multiplayer
Meh, I still prefer AvP Classic 2000, and am still waiting for AvP 2 to get out of licensing hell.
I get so much more excited when I see this channel says “5 Things…” then when it says “7 things…”
I want Parasite Eve so bad. That's like a core memory for me
I haven t heard that name in ages but those were so hard and creepy growing up and that would make a good remake as long as they dont make it too much like the resident evil games.
