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."
PS Oh yeah, and Craig's my second-favourite OO7, so it's not meant as Craig-bashing. My ranking?
1) Connery
2) Craig
3) Dalton
4) Brosnan
5) Moore
6) Lazenby
if "remake" means "slow it and dumb it down so that people can play it with console controllers" then please don't do it
No, please, we need more FPS with 30 MPH soldiers on cocaine that absorb bullets like paintballs and can hit a mellon with a revolver at two football field lengths. Based on your logic, UT would be an "intelligent" game while MAG or L4D are "dumbed down" because the gameplay doesn't revolve entirely around how fast you can aim?
I'm sorry, what is the reason that all FPS should move at unrealistically high speed & accuracy or make use of a bazillion keys?
Do you know what it's like to fire a rifle at a moving target? Go play paintball for Christ's sake. See how much time you are running and gunning vs. taking cover & using suppressive fire. I guess that's "dumb".
What's intelligent about two people with mice in a knife fight? Is all the frustrating high speed turning supposed to simulate sophisticated ninja like parry skills? What about driving or flying with a mouse? That is intelligent, or in your world FPS have no such things?
You're right, FPS could be more intelligent. Unfortunately, that's not what you think it is.
BTW, anyone notice the Helo controls got a little "dumb" in Bad Company 2? Huh, wonder if it had anything to do with the PC port.
