Five Classic Video Games That Deserve a Remaster Before Gears of War: Reloaded
The gaming world is buzzing with talk of a Gears of War: Reloaded remaster. But honestly, there are several older titles that deserve the visual upgrade treatment far more. Here are five classic video games that should get a remaster before Gears of War: Reloaded.
1. Bloodborne
FromSoftware's gothic masterpiece is trapped at 30 FPS on the PS4. A 60 FPS remaster or PC port has been a top wish for years. The combat, atmosphere, and level design are timeless, but a performance boost would make it absolutely perfect.
2. Metal Gear Solid
The original Metal Gear Solid revolutionized cinematic storytelling in video games. A full remaster with modern controls and high-definition visuals would allow a whole new generation to experience the tension of Shadow Moses Island without the dated polygons.
3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
This game defined the Metroidvania genre. While it's available on modern platforms, it has never received a true ground-up remaster. An HD hand-drawn art style remaster would be an absolute dream for fans of exploration and gothic horror.
4. Final Fantasy VI
Often considered the pinnacle of the 2D Final Fantasy era, Final Fantasy VI deserves a full 3D remake or a stunning HD-2D remaster (like Octopath Traveler). Its epic story and unforgettable characters deserve to be seen in a new light.
5. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
While the 3DS remake was excellent, a full HD remaster for home consoles is long overdue. A modernized version of this timeless adventure with updated textures and stable high frame rates would be an instant classic all over again.
