Ok. So Im not of the opinion that remakes are a good thing. I dislike most of them. (movies, even music covers) People tend to remake things that are already perfect. I'm of the opinion that only flawed, or outdated games should get an overhaul. Not a blotchy (shitty filter) "HD" upgrade. Those are atrocious. I'm talking about outright modernizing the game outright. Pic Related. It's 2 that fall into my category.
>Blood Omen
Great atmosphere. The dreariness of Nosgoth is front and center. From the ominous lighting down to the impeccable voice acting. The Feel of the will be very hard to match. However, the gameplay itself is rather unplayable. I would love to see this get a modern remake. Something A-la Dark Souls.
>Phantasy Star III
Now as far as Ideas go, this game is like a Wonderful suede jacket. Then in application it's like filling the jacket with baby frogs, and smashing it against the wall over and over again. I'm not really into RPG games at this point. But if there ever was a game that needs finishing is this beast right here.
/vr/ What say yee? And any other ideas?

C'mon now, that wouldn't fit at all. Blood Omen doesn't need a remake, if anything Defiance needs a sequel.

Blood Omen could have used some balancing and polish, but it's nowhere near unplayable. In fact, exploring is pretty fun and satisfying, and so are the dungeons due to their emphasis on avoiding traps etc. I replayed it a few months ago and thought it was excellent. Not perfect, but very good at what it does. By far the best game in the series.

I don't think Defiance really needs a sequel, either. Especially not now.

Defiance definitely has some loose ends, and there's technically room for a sequel (I wonder how the canceled sequel would have turned out), but on a thematic level I think it was pretty complete. Everybody finally embraced their roles and saw through the Elder God's machinations, and Kain has the tools to fight back. That's the core of the story. The fact there is "hope" is a good enough ending, I think.

I think the story fell to total shit with SR2 anyway, and the gameplay matched.

Deer Lord, this world definitely needs more Phantasy Star. So much potential...
