FPS Games That Need a Remake
kube00 writes "With the release and successful sales of Goldeneye 007 on the Wii, this opens the doors for other 90s FPS game remakes. Games like Jedi Knight, Red Rampage and Tribes could all use remakes and would look great with next-generation graphics. Nothing would be more satisfying than a remake of Jedi Knight that lets gamers slice Jar Jar to bits in multiplayer."
Give Homeworld the modern graphics it deserves.
was added to Unreal Tournament. :)

Aleph One does exist to make sure the game can run on todays Mac, Windows and Linux (and other OS) - but a pro remake beyond MS xbox limits would be nice
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
You could make it work with a controller AND a motion detector (Kinect, Move, etc) so that you can use the controller for weapons/maps, and body movements for ship control.
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
Hexen was a lot of fun. I'd love to see it updated
Wing Commander 1 & 2 basically revolutionized PC graphics expectations, story, game engine, etc. Give it some love.
This. Oh god, 1000x this...
Well the thing about XvT is there's plenty missions with Xwing vs Tie and Balance of Power to keep you busy - AND there's a map editor which allows you to create your own missions (albeit this was not packaged in the game, it was a seperate download).
Essentially the ONLY thing they need to update is the Graphics Engine and the Network code - and that game would be an instant hit. If they wanted to, have an expansion pack with the new episodes crafts and missions.
I have sent a letter and email to this effect to Lucasarts before - but got no response. They don't seem to want to revisit their old titles - or when they do it's actually worse than before because they altered the main mechanics. For example, they mention Jedi Knight. I enjoyed that Series from the original Dark Forces all the way through the Jedi Academy. Though the story in JA was a bit weak compared to its predecessors it's gameplay was basically a more balanced and exciting version of Jedi Outcast. However that whole series has been put aside since Force Unleashed was in development. Rebellion was replaced by Empire at War. It kind of sickens me - as both of these games had great potential if they had just kept the existing mechanics and added onto it.
...and you'lll never see it. Why? Because the 'rights' to depict Star Wars space combat are now exclusive to the MMO's under the franchise. Thank Sony for that...
