VIDEO Star Wars Games HD Remix!

Hey i thought this would be a fun idea!

What pre-hd era star wars game do you think deserves an hd remake and why?
My pic was Shadows of the Empire! Mainly because it was one of the few games that felt really a part of the universe with a story line that could really fall into official cannon, and had an amazing novel to go with it!

Whats your pic? Only one please!

 

Star Wars: Forceboat

 

Shadows of the Empire was made in a time when the logic of video games still trumped common sense. If that game was made today, I think people would be asking why a cargo loading droid is attacking you. Is it common to assign droids with extending forklift arms, designed for manual labour, to guard duty? Does it mistake you for a crate? In the escape from Echo Base level, how did they manage to bring an AT-ST into a room where it cannot fit through the door leading into it? And why is it guarding that room anyway? What's so valuable in there?

The point is, doing Shadows of the Empire in modern near photorealistic graphics would not fit that game's now antiquated conventions of game design, and would do it an injustice. The entire structure of the game would have to change, until it's no longer the same game, like the GoldenEye remake. However, I suppose one could just upscale the resolution of the old one and re-release it as a downloadable classic.

 

Dark Forces could be an interesting FPS that would look awesome in this day and age. It would have to be more than just an HD remaster though, game mechanics and level design will have to be completely redone to fit modern FPS gameplay. No more mysteriously carrying around 10+ items of heavy weaponry.

 

all the dark forces/jedi knight games.

 

But that would mean it would appeal to the cretins who play FPS on PSN and XBox Live, which means that the MP would be a cesspit of sexism and 12yr olds smacktalking.

 

And we've all seen how much Lucasarts related developers care about PC. The prospect of Grim Fandango in HD truly excited me...that is until I read it was PS4 only for now.

 

That's why you make it single player only.

(However, that would also shatter its already questionable profit prospects.)

Side note: no one talks on the PSN.

 

make it mp. just don't play it if you don't want to.

 

AND I LOVE IT! No annoying kids. It's great!

 

X-Wing and TIE Fighter maybe?

 

Me too. Unfortunately, I think Sony is including headsets with PS4s, which is one instance of consumer-mindedness I for one do not approve of.

 

Eh, people still don't use them. I think I've met two people that use them, and that's it. XD

 

X-Wing Alliance or any of the X-Wing or TIE Fighter games, really. There was nothing after X-Wing Alliance and it was really good series.

 

KOTOR 1&2 and Republic Commando.

 

It's not, though.

 

Only as of recent. Tim Schafer made a statement AFTER the PS4 announcement. So yes, while us PC gamers will get a version, it is strange it wasn't announced first.

 

He tweeted"other platforms announced soon" on the announce date. PC was a given.

 

Why does the Suprosa allow you to dock with it in the first place? I can't remember if that's addressed in the narrative. You make some good points and I agree with most of it, but I find it illogical that the imperials would go to such lengths as even assigning the loader droid to impale any intruders, considering that the plans Dash steals are the DS2 plans (IIRC) who the emperor wants the rebels to find. Presumably, he doesn't want it to be impossible to get out of there alive, which, evidently it isn't, but its bloody close.

I wholeheartedly agree about the fog.

 

Jedi Knight 1 definitely needs a remake. Those graphics are such an eyesore.

 

Dark Forces needs a better control mapping system and a manual save feature. That's all I ask.

 

I've never played it but i think it would be cool to play a HD remake of Star Wars Jedi Knight II : Jedi Outcast, heard good things about that game.

 

I want to see a console version of Empire At War.
