So, what's the next game remake that would be of the most importance (as in, on par with FFVII Remake)

[Kalmakov]

So, FFVII Remake is kinda a big deal, we all know that already. I know peeps who were out of video games for the longest time who bought a PS4 like the same weekend the FFVII gameplay trailers were coming out.

What other remake of a classic game would elicit a similar level of hype as the FFVII Remake has?

The one that comes to mind for me would be a Snake Eater Remake

 

[crimzonflame]

The first MGS not Snake Eater

 

[MrConbon210]

Probably Metal Gear Solid or Half Life 2

 

[Saint-14]

DeS is coming.

 

[Wollan]

Demon's Souls might actually be happening which is fantastic. It is a large RPG with dozens or potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay which means it might explode in popularity under the right circumstances.

 

[Deleted member 8196]

RE4
Half-Life 2
Diablo II

 

[Dr. Monkey]

I don't think we can get remakes of MG games, considering, which is tragic.

 

[Deleted member 46489]

World of Warcraft Remake?

 

[Raijinto]

Super Mario Sunshine. Done right, a remake of this game could redeem a fairly disappointing and middling game by 3D Mario standards into something quite special. Plus who doesn't want to revisit the glorious vistas and cutscenes the game is renowned for but in HD!

for me Ocarina of Time or Resident evil 1 remke

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Soul Reaver.

Game was ahead of its time and its cinematic narrative, combat, and exploration could be a big hit these days.
I don't know if Amy Hennig has any interest in returning to the series, but I'd love to see her involved again.

 

[Tokio Blues]

- Metal Gear Solid 1

 

[Turin]

Ocarina of Time

So you're not asking what ones we want or what would be good, just hype level? None beat FF7.

Preference-wise its tricky as most classics turn into franchises and get redone or iterated on.

I would like a modern super detailed 2D Castlevania, Ubi art style, SOTN or not

Actually my wish is for CDPR to remake Witcher 1 & 2, too much work but I can wish

You seriously think MGS3 would be more hype than MGS1?

 

[JED BARTLETT]

Mass Effect.

 

[StarPhlox]

Ocarina of Time and MGS have already been remade (with varying degrees of competence). I think FFVII is probably the most "important" remake ever by most standards. I think the only examples that would come close are maybe Chrono Trigger or perhaps Grand Theft Auto III

 

[Yoshichan]

Eh, there's no such game.

 

[formasymphonic]

MGS
I would have said ME Trilogy but we seem to already be getting a remaster instead of a remake
OoT
Half Life remakes might be worth it if Valve really wants to continue the franchise.

 

[HenrySwanson]

MGS1....but it won't happen

 

[DGenerator]

There's no remake that should be as "important" as a new game, as there's no erasing the legacy of its predecessor.

Also, Diablo 2.

 

[Kamiyouni]

Shin Megami Tensei

 

[Wollan]

World of Warcraft?
With visuals close to the film.

 

[Sir Sonic]

Guess Half-Life would only generate such a Hype

 

[Sulik2]

MGS1 and OoT are both great choices. That early 3D gen is there most ripe for this. Mario 64 would be incredible too.

 

[Kyzon Xin]

Ocarina of Time in the BOTW engine that continues after the credit and onto Majora's Mask, Mario 64, or a fully voiced remake of Pokemon Red and Blue made by someone who's not gamefreak could all be huge.

 

[rochellepaws]

Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid would maybe be the closest but they never had the same clamouring that existed for FF7.

 

[The Unsent]

Chrono Trigger, probably be two parts though, before and after Magus

 

[Deleted member 54073]

Final Fantasy 6
Metal Gear Solid 1
Silent Hill
Zelda: Ocarina of Time

 

[snausages]

MGS1 already got remade so I don't know why it gets mentioned

But for me it would probably be a remake of the MG games before it.

 

[Hanbei]

Soul Reaver.

There are plenty of ones I'd like but as for requested/hyped, there's nothing that can reach FF7R levels. MGS and RE1 again, Half Life, PS2 GTA's are about all I can think of and none of them would ever come close to the hype level of FF7.

 

[CaptainKashup]

So I guess we're going to ignore the extremely good remakes for the Resident Evil series ?

 

[Devilgunman]

Chrono Trigger and Silent Hill.

Yeah

MGS1 already had a remake

And MGS3 is a better game overall

 

[Cactuar]

The hype/importance of Final Fantasy VII Remake can not be matched by any other game. Think of the undertaking going on here, they literally need multiple games to remake this one, in order to do proper justice to the title and to their vision. This is unprecedented.

However if the question is posed what remake would I like to see that I think many other people would also like to see, then it's Metal Gear Solid with Kojima's involvement. Without his involvement my hype dies down. With him I would like a complete overhaul game and story wise, much like what they're doing with FF7R. Without him I'd just want a game overhaul, while staying true to his story, more like Shadow of the Colossus style of remake.

 

[Zacmortar]

Silent Hill because any quality horror title immediately becomes THE HOTNESS due to youtube

 

[PhazonBlazer]

An Ocarina of Time remake would be the dream

 

[Mesoian]

Chrono Trigger.

 

[Jaded Photographer]

Parasite Eve.

 

[Burrman]

Mario 64
MGS

 

[Deleted member 21411]

Most of the games people are saying needs a remake either already had one or are new enough they don't actually need it. Ff7 needed the remake because the game in our heads is not the game that came out, it's a special case

 

[The Unsent]

Metal Gear 1 and 2 is a good shout but it probably be a reimagining so they could add hours of cutscenes and new boss characters or tragic backstories for Dirty Duck and Machine Gun Kid, lol.

 

[Masagiwa]

Silent Hill
We badly need a reboot of WoW, it's been the same for too long.

 

[Deleted member 21469]

MGS4
It's a shame that it's still stuck on ps3.

 

[Ales34]

Maybe not the most important, but I wish Arkane did a remake of Arx Fatalis. Still have such fond memories of it.

 

[Jencks]

Silent Hill 1 and Xenogears could benefit hugely from remakes.

 

[Musubi]

A full blown HD remake of Metal Gear Solid or Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[Shudouken]

Earthbound aka Mother

 

[Lobster Roll]

Ocarina is desperately in need of a remake. It has immense cultural & nostalgic importance, but that game has aged miserably and is almost a chore to play in 2020.

 

[Stoopkid]

Persona 4
