graphics aren’t everything but sometimes
those classic old games just need a new
coat of paint I say we blast them meet
Baggins Savior the trouble master
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 most wanted
video game HD remakes we are the future
for this list we picked games with
passionate fan bases or massive critical
acclaim that deserve an HD remaster or
full remake but have not yet been
officially announced huh
majora’s mask recently got a remake
announcement so that game made us redo
this list thanks Nintendo number 10
eternal darkness sanity’s Requiem how
well can you hold on to your sanity in
game and in real life well this game
tests you on both fronts as its key draw
was its sanity meter that at times broke
the fourth wall and made you think that
your system was acting up at tents or
important moments
these days with let’s play channels
testing themselves with horror games
have become all the rage so this game
with an HD facelift seems like a no
brainer of course some effects will need
to be updated to mimic today’s
technology but that’s also what makes it
an ideal choice number nine Planescape
torment from Icewind Dale to the
Baldur’s Gate series several classic
isometric PC RPGs have been getting HD
facelifts in the last couple of years
this begs the question
where’s Planescape torment the game took
the classic Dungeons & Dragons formula
and combined it with the most intriguing
storytelling and dialogue in the history
of video games we want to get back into
the shoes of the immortal protagonist
the nameless one for one more romp
through the Planescape number eight
Battletoads you know what’s becoming the
latest trend these days punishingly
difficult games so it seems strange that
one of the most notoriously tough games
in history hasn’t seen a release in
almost 20 years originally made by rare
who now needs something else to do now
that Microsoft is cutting back on Kinect
support this seems like it would be a
great investment especially seeing as 2d
beat’em ups rarely get any love these
days so for the sake of the sanity of
gamestop employees everywhere who have
to deal with prank calls asking for this
game perhaps it’s time to finally meet
that demand number 7 f-zero GX champion
I’d like to interview you the f-zero
series is composed to insanely fast and
punishingly futuristic racing games with
twisting gravity-defying racetracks
in fact the series was one of the first
console games to run at 60fps featuring
mind-bending courses a devastating metal
soundtrack and some of the coolest
character and ship designs indian
tendo’s repertoire
he was definitely unique few games
replicate the sheer sense of speed and
power like f-zero GX the best in the
series and we’re eager to devise some
g-forces in fully rendered HD and while
we’re at it maybe play online as well
number six Star Wars Knights of the Old
Republic am i not farting useful to be
thrown aside in such a casual manner
before Bioware created their own epic
space opera with the popular Mass Effect
series they delved into more classic
source material with Star Wars Knights
of the Old Republic Oh robot warrior our
protagonist a young Jedi assembles a
team of fellow space travelers to hunt
down and thwart the diabolical efforts
of the dastardly Darth Malak considering
how similar Knights of the Old Republic
is in terms of gameplay to mass effect
we’d love to see Bioware add that
beautiful level of polish to their
classic Star Wars adventure number 5
Deus Ex ASX was one of the first games
to properly implement a branching
storyline with dialogue choices that
really made a difference
smart lockpick is always handy that’s
right infiltrate and evade speaking of
choice you want to shoot up the place
with heavy guns or maybe you’d prefer to
meticulously hack your way through a
complex computer system and then
approach with a tranquilizer gun because
either way works perfectly
use these choices might seem commonplace
now but when deus ex came out they were
nothing short of groundbreaking its
gameplay and story still hold up very
well but the character models and
animations have seen better days so
whatever you do if you reboot this do
not nerve the PC version for sake of the
consoles and their ethical inflexibility
has allowed us to make progress in areas
they refused to consider number 4
Resident Evil 2
the remake of the first Resident Evil
for the Gamecube recently got a release
on current consoles but Capcom never
remade its sequel just go and that’s a
shame because Resident Evil 2 took all
of the best elements from its
predecessor namely the bone-chilling
atmosphere and the sense of helplessness
the entire city was infested with
zombies Resident Evil fans have wanted
the series to move away from the
action-oriented gameplay and back to
what made the series beloved and these
days it seems like the best way to
accomplish that would be an HD remake of
this horror gem rather than teasing fans
with something like the Darkseid
Chronicles get down number 3 Shenmue II
oh no son
oh it’s Yuri oh there’s probably no
Dreamcast exclusive more beloved and
critically acclaimed than Shenmue II yet
because it was on the Dreamcast nobody
ever got to play it they killed my
father right in front of me I will have
my revenge the game mixes martial arts
intrigue with gameplay elements that
were sometimes innovative sometimes
downright weird ah milk may be thick
kitten wood trinket Shenmue a world was
alive but fully fleshed out NPCs and a
full day night cycle with different
weather Shenmue a is a charming game
that needs to be remade although that
still wouldn’t solve the cliffhanger at
the end of the second one
number two Metroid Prime trilogy it
almost took 10 years for Nintendo to
follow up on Super Metroid one of the
most critically acclaimed games ever and
retro studios delivered one of the best
transitions from 2d to 3d putting us
directly in samus aran’s shoes shifting
into an FPS perspective gave players an
unprecedented amount of immersion and
control over our favorite bounty hunter
we consider that these might be better
as remasters rather than remakes but
they almost seem like a guaranteed
success especially given how the Wii
trilogy pack is such a rare collection
of discs to find these days before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
and there’s no one who can stop him
except for you and me oh my god let’s
make out uh what number one
Final Fantasy seven at e3 2005 Sony and
Square Enix recreated the intro
cinematics from Final Fantasy 7 the
video was meant to be a tech demo to
showcase the ps3s graphics but
unsurprisingly it got RPG and Final
Fantasy fans salivating for the real
thing
Square Enix has refused to commit to a
remake instead producing remade versions
of Final Fantasy three and four in 3d
yet they teased fans again with crisis
cores secret ending my name is cloud
soldier first class come on square we
all want to be chasing Sephiroth around
the world with cloud Tifa and heiress in
glorious next-gen HD make it happen

game out there you desperately want to
see remade on a hard copy and maker for
more exciting top 10s published daily be
