Title: Remaking old classics
Post by: General Throatstomper on February 14, 2004, 08:59:54 pm

Should sega remake its classic games to attract the old gaming generation? Mega collection didn't really remake the games, it just ported them. They could maybe release mega collection 2 with save features for the games, a few added modes, and some might possibly be made 3d or something.

If you're saying that SMC ported the games as opposed to remaking them (true as it may be), then didn't Sonic Jam remake the games?

If a game more in that direction is what you're asking about, then no, I don't want that to happen, I like my Sonic games the way they are.

And just as a side note, I would have got Sonic Mega Collection, except I couldn't find it anywhere...

2.5d could be pretty cool. (like Viewtiful Joe, where it looks 3D but is actually 2D) Shame it'll never happen.

Knuckles in Sonic 1 might be nice.

No, it would be obscenely broken.

I think a 3D remake, if done well, might work. With cutscenes and all... but very very very few cutscenes. Probably not much more than the 2D games already have.

And have remixed music... I want to see them take the original Sonic theme tune, and make it into "Sonic's Theme" for a remake... with lyrics and stuff... and they could do the same for Knuckles... hehe.  :ph34r:

Instead of updating and ultimatly ruining classic 16-bit games, they should convert Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 into 2D games (giving them the same look and feel as Sonic 1 & 2) and whack them onto a CD. That would be 100 times better than fiddling around with the Megadrive epics.

Didn't they put lyrics to it in AoSth? *shudders at the memory of that*
