Meanwhile, in a Parallel Universe, this Game would be distributed by SEGA, of all Companies under the Atlus label of sorts (albeit with parts of the Subject Matter being toned down of sorts).
Veautiful Joe is one of my favorite Capcom games of all time. This is a game that I really wish it had a third sequel. Also, this game deserves an HD remastered release.
Why do people want remakes instead of new games? What do we as customers and players gain from a rehash with modern wonders like microtransactions being inserted into them when we could have an entirely new game trying to not just replicate what made the previous one great but also build upon it.
This has reminded me of how much I’d love a modern revival of Bushido Blade and the Bloody Roar series. Specifically if they can stay faithful to the feel and mechanics of the originals. Cheating a bit, I’d also kill for the combat racing genre as a whole to comeback. Jak-X, Rollcage, S.C.A.R.S, hell even Split/Second if we stretch definitions.
I honestly wonder what direction a thrill kill remake/reimagining would take. On one hand you could have a more comics-esque roster of criminals (think of stuff like spawn) or go very different shades of brutality from "there's still a layer of fantasy to it" akin to twisted metal black, or all the way to "we want to make you feel like taking a shower after playing this game" with 'murderbrawl' arenas akin to something taken out of manhunt 1.
The biggest miss of Th3 Plan is that there IS multiplayer co-op....AFTER you complete the missions in single player. Same thing happened with Spy Hunter on PS2. Don't know who thought that was a good idea.
YES I was so happy to see Metal Arms on the list. One of the most underrated games I've ever played. It's a tragedy what happened to Swingin' Ape Studios.
The fact that Warner Bros is sitting on a bunch of unused Midway owned IPs like Mace the Dark Age and Primal Rage is very depressing. And makes me irate.
If there’s a hidden gem that I think deserves a second chance, it would probably be Rule of Rose. One of the last titles to be released in the PS2’s life span, this Silent Hill-style game has earned a cult following for its dark and tragic story about the long-term affects of child abuse and bullying (particularly within the social care system). However, what caused the game to fall by the wayside was: 1.) The janky combat system being unfair and inconsistent (the developers admitted this was one element they wished they could fix). 2.) Rule of Rose becoming one of the biggest targets of video game moral panic during the 2000’s, thanks to European tabloids and politicians spreading lies about the game depicting scenes of graphic and sexual violence towards minors (even though most of them confessed to never playing it themselves). While the slander was eventually debunked, Rule of Rose’s reputation was permanently damaged by the time of its release.
Kingdom Under Fire Crusaders/Heroes from the original Xbox. Just remake them together since Heroes was essentially an expansion. RTS + Dynasty Warriors is a bread winning combo and the world needs to see it again. Area 51 2005 from Midway. We need more middle shelf campy shooters today and this games set pieces would be awesome in Unreal 5
It is criminal you didn't mention the hosts of MadWorld. Nor its absolutely fun ost. Sega gets one thing right semi-consistently, solid music production.
The fact that you included Metal Arms gives me a huge respect for you. It might be the most underrated game of all time and by FAR the most deserving of getting a reboot. I played it as a kid and I played it as a cynical 27 year old. Loved it both times which is rare going back to games you played as a kid. The gunplay and robot mechanics are, like you said way too good a franchise to sleep on.
For several of these I kept thinking to myself “Hey, I’ve never played that but it looks familiar. I wonder why?” Oh yeah, because you mentioned them in past videos.
I think Driver 1 and 2 could really use a remake. The 70's-aesthetic, car-based, undercover cop story games with realistic vehicle handling in the industry is sorely lacking. Driver San Francisco is pretty good, but it misses the mark on time setting and late-night movie grittiness. And if I'm being super wishful, a remake of Driv3r. Despite the "alpha build" feel of the game; the maps, story, atmosphere, music, driving, and cinematography was top notch especially for the time
I know they’re not that obscure, but if the Kurohyou games got the Kiwami treatment, I’d be the happiest man in the world. Also, play God Hand, it kicks ass.
Oh yes, it's awesome to see T'ai Fu in here! Never played it, but it strongly had my interest for its mix of 3D fighter/beat-em-up and platforming, a combination i've rarely seen done before. Only really in Rayman 3 (to an extent), Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Prince of Persia (though that's more of a hack-and-slash) and my absolute favourite, Kya: Dark Lineage. That game is very solid in its own right, and I would personally directly put it in a list like this. I recommend to check it out for yourself, the moveset and combat gets quite in-depth. Though if you don't like platforming as much, you may find the other gameplay styles disrupting. Also happy to see Heavenly Sword and Anarchy Reigns being mentioned here. It's heartening to hear that others do see the potential that game carries, so... that's just very nice. Thanks for this video, man! it was quite interesting. Number of titles i've never heard of before either, and though they may not be up my alley, they're definitely interesting. Many games out there would benefit from a good second chance of some sort.
A couple games prime for the remake treatment would be Raw Danger and Disaster Report (both ps2 exclusives) These games are weird badly imported Japanese survival horror games but instead of monsters/killers it’s natural disasters. You’re trying to escape a city as floods, earthquakes, storms, etc hammer the city. They’ve got so much charm and such great ideas but they were really pushing the PS2 as hard as it could go.
Oh god yeah Thing Thing is really nostalgic for me. I loved that series and would love to see it come back because it was honestly the most consistently good Flash Game series that I played growing up.
there are 2 games I can think of that I personally think badly need a remake. The first one is Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. It was so much fun in its broken state. Now that the NPC's can be enhanced, and the destruction can be turned up a notch I think it would be an incredible game. The second one I thought of is Red Steel 2. I loved playing that game. Now that we have the switch, I think it would be perfect to do all the motion game play, but adding controller support would be great.
Tai Fu Wrath of the Tiger is definitely the inspiration to Kung Fu Panda which was made by Dreamworks. Even the Tiger in the movie had a similar appearance
You mean Tigress? I can... kind of see it, but only in terms of both being tigers and having spiky sideburns. But the art styles are a bit too different. If you mean Tai Lung (the snow leopard), i can see it more. Being bare-chested masters of multiple different styles. Heck, even their names are very similar :P Regardless, it's nice to see people talking about T'ai Fu in general.
I would really love to see two games made by Epic Games (formerly Epic Megagames). These are "Jazz Jackrabbit 3" and "One Must Fall 2097" Jazz Jackrabbit was a belloved IP on DOS. It was a platformer about a green rabbit, that was basically "Sonic with a gun". Jazz had an attitude, the platforming was fun, the guns were great, and I loved the levels. Also, we can't forget the banging music by Robert A. Allen. Jazz was a great game with an even better sequel, that expanded on everything, that made the first game great and even let you play as new characters. Also, the music for this one was compossed by the legendary Alexander Brandon. Then when it came time for a 3rd game, Epic wanted to switch Jazz to the third dimension. There was a pitch demo leaked not too long ago. Sadly, Jazz 3 never saw the light of day, since Jazz 2 sold poorly and Epic couldn't find a publisher, so they had to cancel it. Seeing the game realized would be great. One Must Fall 2097 was a fighting game on DOS, where you took control of mechs. You would first choose a pilot (which would determine your stats) and then your combat mech. The mechs had cool designs, the whole game had this "anime-inspired" artstyle, the combat, while primitive by today's standards, was fun, the mechs were cool and had fun movesets, and you especially can't forget the amazing main theme made by Kenny Chou. These days, the game is very obscure, but it still has a small dedicated following. Some fans even did a source-port, that allows netplay and few updated features. Sadly, after it's sequel OMF: Battleground got a mixed reception, Epic never touched this series ever again. A modern remake of OMF: 2097 would probably be awesome, considering how far fighting games have come. Unfortunately, if your name isn't Fortnite, Epic don't give a fuck about you, so these 2 things are really just wishful thinking, but who knows. With the comeback of obscure platformer mascots like Kao and Gex, and franchises like Armored Core and Mechwarrior keeping the interest in Mechs alive, who knows what might happen.
jazzjackrabbit was great- on jj2 you could play online and people could make their own levels and it was just the shit- it was my favorite thing to do as a 8-10 year old and i spent probably around 4-6 hours a day playing. I also had the jazz 3 beta that wasn't released to the public- somebody gave it to me and it was pretty good. Also- one of my teachers in college worked on Gex.
Would love a re-release of 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's awesome and may do well if people know FromSoft was involved. People would make walking penises. I played a kid riding a turtle
You taking a look at obscure games has been some of my favorite content from you, so to see a whole countdown of obscure games would be nice to see a remaster of, I clicked on this video games momen I saw it. Thing Thing series is main one I really wanna see a remake came out from it. The first two games were more like tech demos, while three and four were a tad too short and it the games could be more polished in the age of highly polished indie games.
Abolutely loved Interstate '76, I grew up with the Vigilante 8 games but Interstate has also been my jam for a while now. It would be cool to have a remake of the first game but knowing Activision they'd probably put a bunch of unexpirienced interns to make the game just like how they did with the remake of Vigilante 8, which only had about 3 of the 6 devs from the original game. And as two fun facts: the soundtrack from Interstate '76 was made by a band called Bullmark and they used the same recording techniques, technology and instruments that were used by professionals back in the 70's for music albums, that's why the music sounds so authentic. Oh, and the character of Taurus was voiced by Greg Eagles and was one of his first acting roles before voicing Grimm in Billy & Mandy and Aku Aku in the recent Crash games, also by Activision oddly enough.
There is a game i played long ago with my deceased friend on the PS1 called "Frontschweine" (Front Pigs) in german. It was basically a Worms styled strategy game with pig armies in 3D. What differentiated it from Worms, was the far more darker tone befitting of an actual war game. The different armies were based on various countries with fitting voice sets, the areas were mined accordingly, so you had to watch your step and every unit had a different military assignment with according tools and weaponry. The games more humorous tone came from the fact that the units were pigs and from the one-liners the different nations spouted like: "Confucius said: Let yourself be buried." "Des is for my momma!" "When i said, you should get a cut of our enemy, i DIDN`T MEANT THAT LITERALLY!"
I doubt you're going to see this comment in a sea of other comments, but one series I'd love to see you delve into would be the Drakengard/NieR series(which, believe it or not, are connected lore-wise). Drakengard is a PS2 action game that is rather clunky and repetitive, with a really bleak story that does a good job of deconstructing the glorification of mass slaughter present in games like Dynasty Warriors, and while the rest of the franchise never gets quite that bleak, it still never lets go of the desire to remind its players that just because you think you're doing what's right doesn't always mean you are. As games, some are fine, some are great, but as an experience the franchise is unmatched, and I'd love to see you give the series the same treatment you've given series like God of War and Twisted Metal, because your content style is really fun to watch and I love hearing what you have to say.
Ten Video Games I personally believe Deserve a Remake or Remaster 1. Drakengard: This gem, designed by Yoko Taro, is a fusion of RPG, flight-based action, and on-ground fighting mechanics that delivers a unique gaming experience. With a dark and fascinating storyline, Drakengard possesses immense potential to be remastered with new-age graphics, improved gameplay mechanics, and refined storytelling. 2. Dark Cloud: This classic action RPG features robust city-building elements combined with real-time fighting, making it an extraordinary gaming product of its time. A remaster could enhance the game world, introduce deeper, multidimensional characters, and polish the combat system further to provide a modern take on this deserving RPG. 3. Echo Night: Beyond: This unconventional survival horror game, set in a chilling lunar outpost, offered an immersive, atmospheric experience that set it apart from its contemporaries. A remake could capitalize on advances in VR technology, offering a terrifyingly realistic, immersive horror experience while preserving the game's original puzzle-based gameplay. 4. Steambot Chronicles: This sandbox-styled action-adventure game's charm lies in its alternate history setting, mech battles, and player freedom. A remastered version can further its universe with improved mech customization, expanded in-game choices, and better graphical representation. 5. Jade Cocoon: This unique RPG was popular in the late '90s for its compelling 'Man vs Nature' narrative, creature fusion system, and distinct visual style. A remaster could enhance the monster designs, offer a more dynamic ecosystem, and polish the story's environmental themes - bringing a fan favorite back into the limelight. 6. Manhunt: Rockstar Games' controversial and brutal stealth-based survival horror title was notorious for its dark themes and intense violence. A remaster could better contextually frame its violent aesthetic, enhance its stealth mechanics, and refine the original's strong social commentary - creating a simultaneously thought-provoking and unnerving experience. 7. Sudeki: This action RPG was well-loved for its colorful visuals, distinctive characters, and real-time combat. A remake could refine these elements - offering high-definition visuals, in-depth character development, and an engaging, fast-paced combat system that could rekindle old fans' nostalgia and draw in new players. 8. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks: This spin-off from the classic Mortal Kombat series offered a unique blend of adventure and fighting gameplay. A remaster could amplify the cinematic storytelling, refine the combat system, and introduce modern graphics - giving this iconic title a much-deserved upgrade. 9. Resident Evil Outbreak: This spin-off was one of the earliest instances of online cooperative play in the survival horror genre. A remake could keep the original's cooperative mechanics but with modern features like voice chat, more dynamic environments, and smarter enemy AI, enhancing its tense, survival-focused gameplay. 10. Treasures of the Deep: This undersea adventure title's unique setting and gameplay mechanics were its greatest strength. A remaster could enhance its underwater exploration with vibrant graphics, realistic underwater physics, and more interactive environments, creating a more immersive and adventurous underwater experience. These ten games, all distinct in their identity, hold immense potential for modern remakes or remasters. From enhancing graphics and polishing gameplay mechanisms to refining story arcs and adding depth to characters, the possibilities of modern technology could elevate these classics to new heights, surely delighting both new and veteran gamers alike.
I was about to comment Drakengard, as well! In my opinion, Drakengard is probably Yoko Taro's most accessible game he directed (that isn't called Nier Automata): The concept of an action RPG that blends Musou-like on-foot gameplay with Ace Combat-inspired air sections has tons of potential to stand out in an age of Soulslikes and Western-developed games that tackled dark fantasy plots. A remake will do Drakengard justice, or at the very least a rebalanced remaster of Drakengard AND Drakengard 2 (2005). The gameplay is perfectly fine as is, but the rushed development shows as it's incredibly janky and frustrating on foot, and good in the air but a tad slow. Another game I'd like to see remade is similar to Drakengard in its combination of gameplay styles: Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, an anime-inspired mecha action game-meets-Quake-like first person shooter with a fun setting, plot, sense of humour and again, perfectly fine gameplay let down by rushed development leading to jank, glitches and unbalanced on-foot sections. I do think Drakengard is definitely more likely to happen however. EDIT: Oh, and Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero! On paper that game is good, but on paper it suffers from some of the worst controls I've ever played. A 3D reimagining of Mythologies: Sub-Zero, maybe as a spin-off of Mortal Kombat 1, would be much appreciated. That and Shaolin Monks, like you commented.
I am so happy to see somebody mention Sudeki. Fun and fine on its own, but there could be a lot more. Not necessarily in length, but in depth. Stuff that showcases more of the world, its characters, and fun secrets and sidequest. The closest things i've ever played to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks would be the Prince of Persia trilogy and something like Kya: Dark Lineage, for their mixes of platforming and in-depth combat. I suppose Maximo vs Army of Zin as well, by extent. All of them good games.
I always thought that Mace's rights are at Netherrealm when Warner bought the assets from Midway, but I guess they only cared for Mortal Kombat and nothing more. Shame, NRS could've brought back to life all of Midway's fighting games and unify them all in one single game: Mace, War Gods, Bio Freaks.
How many vehicle sections are in Metal Arms? Because I swear I enjoyed the first stage, but I distinctly remember rage-quitting at or just after the first vehicle level.
oh shit, Metal Arms mention! i know that my older sister played it a bit when she was younger, but aside from that not much else. sounds pretty fun though! honestly id be down with seeing someone remake it if only for the fact that i know vaguely about it. cool video overall! 🌈 on another note, interplay still exists? and they just... haven't done anything??? thats so upsetting to me actually weve had years to get a new clay fighter game (that doesnt vaguely suck) and we just Haven't. i know that not many people are really clamoring for Clay Fighter 63 1/3rd to get recognition, but its special to me
You should have mentioned that Thrill Kill’s plot, for those that don’t know - after all, it’s an unreleased title, has a plot that’s sort of like Twisted Metal but they also seem to just don’t use their own plot at all. It’s supposed to be about people in hell who are trying to earn a wish to return to life, except their endings give you their…. Backstory as an ending? What could be done in a remake is turning these original endings into openings, and then give each character an ending where they get revived + a wish
If going with the "had to have played it" rule, if playing the demo counts. I'd suggest R.A.D Robot Alchemic Drive. It was a PS2 game by Sandlot, better know for the Earth Defense Force series. Best way I can describe it is that it was a Megazord sim in that you play as a normal person piloting a giant robot to fight alien creatures. The control scheme was very odd in that you controlled walking with the shoulder buttons and triggers to move each leg backwards or forwards, needing to alternate to properly walk. The analog sticks were used for the arms, depending on the movement causing different types of punches. There were 3 robots you could use. One that was high mobility but low power that could transform into a jet, one that was slow but powerful that transformed into a tank, and one that was a middle ground and instead of transforming changed into a more combat mode. As stated at the beginning I've only played the demo, but always had fun even if I could never win. It be interesting to see a modern take of this, including the odd control scheme.
I would like to see a remake of Genji: Dawn of The Samurai, a PS2 game. I remember playing a lot the DEMO on the CD Jampack Vol.13. The funny thing is, this game was taking up space on that CD with games like Shadow of The Colossus and Sly 3. I think it had potential, and a remake of the game similar to Ghost of Tsushima would be nice.
I've thought for years now, I would love to see remakes of this handful of PS1 3D platformers I enjoyed a lot as a kid - Gex: Enter the Gecko, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, and Jersey Devil
They could make a remake of the Obscure franchise, is basically Resident Evil Outbreak, co-op mode thrid person horror game with characters that have special skills but the story is a little bit more weird.
Thank you so much, I've been looking for Metal Arms for so long and couldn't remember anything but the way it looked vaguely since I was very young when I played it.
Oh, also in regards of four-way brawlers in the vein of Thrill Kill: There's the Power Stone series. Probably the most known example of such a game type/genre out there, to my knowledge.
Yooooooooo Thing Thing! I remember playing those games all the time during homeroom in high school(which happened to be the computer lab). You can still find it online but I would love a "remake".
State of Emergency for PS2/Xbox is another I'd like to see remade. Basically GTA style combat in a small scale world where you just cause as much destruction as possible in the time limit, was very fun as a kid
Metal Arms and Madworld were pretty damn fun. Plus I think Facebreaker needs a little love, its this boxing game with a wacky style, kinda like Ready 2 Rumble.
8:42 I also played this game, it was excellent until the disc read errors started happening, and then didn’t stop, tried pretty hard to get the game to work but my save data ended up corrupting at some point and I gave up. But it was fun while it lasted, cool game.
I mainly know the Sentinel games because of Kim Justice. Devil's Third being brought up made me giggle The people who made Th3 Plan also made the Gadget & Gadgetinis game?! WOWZER! As somebody who's really fan of Kamiya's work (and having played Bayonetta recently), I'm full-in for the Viewtifull Joe and Mad World remake (yeah, Madworld was a Platinium joint too), or at least a Switch port. Ditto for God Hand.
Battletanx was my first ever video game blue balling. We were so close to apocalyptic magic tanks! Mace: Dark Age really does have potential, I'd also say the same for Weapon Lord, also metal AF. For me, I've always seriously wanted a remake of Uprising (a mix of FPS tank and RTS builder). Also as an old fan of the Army Men franchise I could definitely do with some remakes of that like Air Attack.
Never expected Loaded!!!!! I think Loaded should be remade and I can totally see how it would work if it came back. I can see it rocking out a visual style similar to the comic artwork done for the character design. That and the blood and gore just flying around like its Brutal Doom. That and maybe can have two guns to use and melee attacks like DMC or something of that nature.
The Tokyo Xtreme Racer series needs to be remade. Even just one entry. What Genki wanted to do with Import Tuner Challenge/ Shutokou Battle X would work in a Remake of Zero. Maybe add a twist, an Exit in the Mirai Ring leads to Hakone for the Kaido Battle remake bit. Make it a dlc.
1 game I never hear being mentioned in these type of conversations is the ps2 original Spy Hunter game, transforming super car with James Bond level weapons? That was fun game
I think a better title would be "20 Weird And Obscure Games That BADLY Need to be Remastered/a comeback/Sequel" Sure, some of them I can imagine getting a full-blown remake, but others I feel really need an HD remasters with some gameplay tweaks or just a re-release on modern consoles in order for people to have access to them officially. I feel most of these games would lose a lot of their charm and identity if they were remade from the ground up with modern sensibilites.
if youre gonna dig hard enough to bring up Thing Thing series, allow me to bring up the Endless War series, as well as wanting another interactive experience that goes beyond minigames like Neopets.
me personally i always think of seek and destroy when i think tank game that needs a second try the metallic angel wings to let the tank fly forever in ng+ was so cool and strapping the chainsaw and flamethrower to run a dive bomb tank was a feeling of sheer awesome i can't really describe
I think Viewtiful Joe has a very strong chance of getting remade. Hell, even just an HD rerelease like Okami got would suffice. They aren't really obscure per se, but I'd like to see the Midnight Club games get remakes (moreso the first three, especially 3). They were made by Rockstar before GTA took off, so it's not totally out of the question, although the original games' licensed cars and music might complicate things
Metal Arms was by far my favorite game on Xbox other than Halo as a kid. Some other franchises I'd recommend for a list like this are Bushido Blade, MechAssault, Demon's Crest, ActRaiser (specifically 1) and Tiny Tank.
I would love to see a Remake of Drakengard 3 And a reimagination of Drakengard 1 cause its a mess. I haven't played them but as a Nier Fan im extremely interested in them
Though TBP, if you asked me which game series/franchise needs a remake/reboot I’d say Bloody Roar because I miss Bloody Roar[namely 1-3 & Primal Fury/Extreme] and felt that it stood out from other fighting games at its time. And I’d love to see a remake and/or reboot with everyone brought back[except the newcomers from 4] and some brand new characters ala Killer Instinct 2013 but updated without going head onto into a brick wall like DOA6 did. But that would vary because we all know who owns the IP since Hudson Soft is no more. Though Konami could at least throw us a bone by rereleasing the first 3 and a half games on current systems[unless soundtrack issues] and Eighting is thankfully still around.
Awesome to see Loaded get some love. I still have the big box of the sequel ReLoaded and it's comic. You can still get ReLoaded ob steam, but it's a weird emulator port.
Mace the Dark Ages would be great as a Soul Calibur/Mortal Kombat hybrid. Phantasmagoria 2 would be great in a style like Heavy Rain, would be a way to bring the actors back... have them voice their characters again.
Didnt expect the thing thing series here, those game are really good, mostly the arena pro, its the last one in the series and the most advanced one, maybe it can be kinda boring without a story but the gameplay its really good as it is with the visual, would be nice to see another one in a future
IMO, Neverhood and Skullmonkeys (and maybe Boombots) should get remastered for modern platforms and we should finally get a sequel, that resolves the cliffhanger at the end of Skullmonkeys
Legendary could use a remake. an FPS where you fight mythological creatures like minotaurs and Griffins sounded like a recipe for success. shame the game had poor graphics, eh gameplay and a glitch in the pc version that makes the game unbeatable
Legendary was fun. Shame it didn't get a sequel. Same for Turok 2008, thanks Disney. I think there is a way to fix that elevator glitch on the pc version.
Custom Robo for Gamecube getting a remake or new series entry would be amazing on the switch All i want is to build custom robots and fight them in an arena setting with my friends. Why is such a simple concept not in the gaming market?
@@SirBlackReeds That is very sad to hear. The game deserves some love. Only thing I remember disliking about the GC version was the long unskippable dialogue segments, other than that 10/10 GC game
Just finished madworld for the first time recently and I must say that this is the best £2 I've spent on a video game. The game provides so much enjoyment despite it's short runtime.
TBP: Our society needs more of a sex-positive attitude because it can be prudish. Our society: If you don't like elementary schoolchildren learning about the LGBTs, how sex feels good, how to apply a condom, or drag queens twerking in front of toddlers, then we don't want you participating in our society!
Atari's name was a confusing mess in the 90s as it was split between 2 entities: the Arcade division and the home division. The Arcade division was owned by midway believe it or not. So, Mace is in the hands of WBS...but they only focus on Mortal Kombat thanks to the failure of the Gauntlet reboot (and that Mace is a MK competitor, so you don't want to split your fanbase). The Atari problem was so wild that as a part of modern Atari's lineage it was owned by Hasbro of all companies. Yes, THAT Hasbro, the current owners of...Power Rangers, the publisher of Monopoly, and owners of THAT Wizards of the Coast (D&D and Magic the Gathering). That Atari is more firmly interested in keeping the older arcade, 2600, and 7800 games in compilations...or making an HDMI compatible version of the 2600 that's compatible with 7800 era carts
I won't say they're as obscure as most of your list, but I would love to see another Choro Q game. The last one that was made that I'm aware of was on the Wii and it was nothing like any of the games before it, and that's in a bad way. They were way more popular in Japan as they are still being made today, but in the states we got three car-centric games and some tank game that I can't remember the name of.
ti fu wrath of the tiger Is one of the first games I remember beating all by myself with out my brothers help and I’ve asked my friends if they remember it and none of them do !
The fact that Thrill Kill went unreleased because EA wanted to protect their reputation is a great irony in hindsight.
All over its violence. If only they knew that 10-12 years later, they'd make a game where stomping on mutant newborns was encouraged.
Meanwhile, in a Parallel Universe, this Game would be distributed by SEGA, of all Companies under the Atlus label of sorts (albeit with parts of the Subject Matter being toned down of sorts).
Veautiful Joe is one of my favorite Capcom games of all time. This is a game that I really wish it had a third sequel. Also, this game deserves an HD remastered release.
Joe, Felicia and Tron Bonne are my three fav chars and they all havnt had a game for their series for over a decade. Sad.
Justice for Veautiful Joe. I played that game on GameCube as a kid and absolutely loved it. I would love to see it come back.
Why do people want remakes instead of new games? What do we as customers and players gain from a rehash with modern wonders like microtransactions being inserted into them when we could have an entirely new game trying to not just replicate what made the previous one great but also build upon it.
For me the one series that i will always ask to see remade or remastered or just get something new is Legacy of Kain. This series needs to come back.
Oh, yes please!
Square Enix tried with Nosgoth.
So... this might actually happen according to recent leaks. In a couple of weeks/months, we might know for certain!
This has reminded me of how much I’d love a modern revival of Bushido Blade and the Bloody Roar series. Specifically if they can stay faithful to the feel and mechanics of the originals.
Cheating a bit, I’d also kill for the combat racing genre as a whole to comeback. Jak-X, Rollcage, S.C.A.R.S, hell even Split/Second if we stretch definitions.
I honestly wonder what direction a thrill kill remake/reimagining would take. On one hand you could have a more comics-esque roster of criminals (think of stuff like spawn) or go very different shades of brutality from "there's still a layer of fantasy to it" akin to twisted metal black, or all the way to "we want to make you feel like taking a shower after playing this game" with 'murderbrawl' arenas akin to something taken out of manhunt 1.
Metal arms was amazing. I would love them to continue the story. The zombie robot boss was a pain as a kid until I figured out how to beat him.
The biggest miss of Th3 Plan is that there IS multiplayer co-op....AFTER you complete the missions in single player. Same thing happened with Spy Hunter on PS2. Don't know who thought that was a good idea.
YES I was so happy to see Metal Arms on the list. One of the most underrated games I've ever played. It's a tragedy what happened to Swingin' Ape Studios.
Agreed. Glitch is still one of my favorite robots in gaming.
The fact that Warner Bros is sitting on a bunch of unused Midway owned IPs like Mace the Dark Age and Primal Rage is very depressing. And makes me irate.
The Suffering as well. I love that series
I still want viewtiful joe to return someday because I love those games growing up.
Viewtiful Joe 3 NEEDS TO HAPPEN
I don’t know how or when or why but I need a proper 3rd game in the series!
If there’s a hidden gem that I think deserves a second chance, it would probably be Rule of Rose. One of the last titles to be released in the PS2’s life span, this Silent Hill-style game has earned a cult following for its dark and tragic story about the long-term affects of child abuse and bullying (particularly within the social care system). However, what caused the game to fall by the wayside was:
1.) The janky combat system being unfair and inconsistent (the developers admitted this was one element they wished they could fix).
2.) Rule of Rose becoming one of the biggest targets of video game moral panic during the 2000’s, thanks to European tabloids and politicians spreading lies about the game depicting scenes of graphic and sexual violence towards minors (even though most of them confessed to never playing it themselves). While the slander was eventually debunked, Rule of Rose’s reputation was permanently damaged by the time of its release.
How would that work? The developer is defunct and the rights are likely lost in some kind of limbo.
Kingdom Under Fire Crusaders/Heroes from the original Xbox. Just remake them together since Heroes was essentially an expansion. RTS + Dynasty Warriors is a bread winning combo and the world needs to see it again.
Area 51 2005 from Midway. We need more middle shelf campy shooters today and this games set pieces would be awesome in Unreal 5
It is criminal you didn't mention the hosts of MadWorld. Nor its absolutely fun ost. Sega gets one thing right semi-consistently, solid music production.
The fact that you included Metal Arms gives me a huge respect for you. It might be the most underrated game of all time and by FAR the most deserving of getting a reboot. I played it as a kid and I played it as a cynical 27 year old. Loved it both times which is rare going back to games you played as a kid. The gunplay and robot mechanics are, like you said way too good a franchise to sleep on.
For several of these I kept thinking to myself “Hey, I’ve never played that but it looks familiar. I wonder why?” Oh yeah, because you mentioned them in past videos.
I think Driver 1 and 2 could really use a remake. The 70's-aesthetic, car-based, undercover cop story games with realistic vehicle handling in the industry is sorely lacking. Driver San Francisco is pretty good, but it misses the mark on time setting and late-night movie grittiness.
And if I'm being super wishful, a remake of Driv3r. Despite the "alpha build" feel of the game; the maps, story, atmosphere, music, driving, and cinematography was top notch especially for the time
*Silhouette Mirage* (PS1/SEGA Saturn) and *Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World* (Wii/PS3) should definitely get a Remake in my personal opinion!
Idk if anyone remembers this but Alter Echo sequel would have been so cool.
I know they’re not that obscure, but if the Kurohyou games got the Kiwami treatment, I’d be the happiest man in the world. Also, play God Hand, it kicks ass.
Oh yes, it's awesome to see T'ai Fu in here! Never played it, but it strongly had my interest for its mix of 3D fighter/beat-em-up and platforming, a combination i've rarely seen done before. Only really in Rayman 3 (to an extent), Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, Prince of Persia (though that's more of a hack-and-slash) and my absolute favourite, Kya: Dark Lineage.
That game is very solid in its own right, and I would personally directly put it in a list like this. I recommend to check it out for yourself, the moveset and combat gets quite in-depth. Though if you don't like platforming as much, you may find the other gameplay styles disrupting.
Also happy to see Heavenly Sword and Anarchy Reigns being mentioned here. It's heartening to hear that others do see the potential that game carries, so... that's just very nice.
Thanks for this video, man! it was quite interesting. Number of titles i've never heard of before either, and though they may not be up my alley, they're definitely interesting. Many games out there would benefit from a good second chance of some sort.
A couple games prime for the remake treatment would be Raw Danger and Disaster Report (both ps2 exclusives)
These games are weird badly imported Japanese survival horror games but instead of monsters/killers it’s natural disasters. You’re trying to escape a city as floods, earthquakes, storms, etc hammer the city. They’ve got so much charm and such great ideas but they were really pushing the PS2 as hard as it could go.
Oh god yeah Thing Thing is really nostalgic for me. I loved that series and would love to see it come back because it was honestly the most consistently good Flash Game series that I played growing up.
there are 2 games I can think of that I personally think badly need a remake. The first one is Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. It was so much fun in its broken state. Now that the NPC's can be enhanced, and the destruction can be turned up a notch I think it would be an incredible game. The second one I thought of is Red Steel 2. I loved playing that game. Now that we have the switch, I think it would be perfect to do all the motion game play, but adding controller support would be great.
Tai Fu Wrath of the Tiger is definitely the inspiration to Kung Fu Panda which was made by Dreamworks. Even the Tiger in the movie had a similar appearance
You mean Tigress? I can... kind of see it, but only in terms of both being tigers and having spiky sideburns. But the art styles are a bit too different.
If you mean Tai Lung (the snow leopard), i can see it more. Being bare-chested masters of multiple different styles. Heck, even their names are very similar :P
Regardless, it's nice to see people talking about T'ai Fu in general.
I would really love to see two games made by Epic Games (formerly Epic Megagames). These are "Jazz Jackrabbit 3" and "One Must Fall 2097"
Jazz Jackrabbit was a belloved IP on DOS. It was a platformer about a green rabbit, that was basically "Sonic with a gun". Jazz had an attitude, the platforming was fun, the guns were great, and I loved the levels. Also, we can't forget the banging music by Robert A. Allen. Jazz was a great game with an even better sequel, that expanded on everything, that made the first game great and even let you play as new characters. Also, the music for this one was compossed by the legendary Alexander Brandon. Then when it came time for a 3rd game, Epic wanted to switch Jazz to the third dimension. There was a pitch demo leaked not too long ago. Sadly, Jazz 3 never saw the light of day, since Jazz 2 sold poorly and Epic couldn't find a publisher, so they had to cancel it. Seeing the game realized would be great.
One Must Fall 2097 was a fighting game on DOS, where you took control of mechs. You would first choose a pilot (which would determine your stats) and then your combat mech. The mechs had cool designs, the whole game had this "anime-inspired" artstyle, the combat, while primitive by today's standards, was fun, the mechs were cool and had fun movesets, and you especially can't forget the amazing main theme made by Kenny Chou. These days, the game is very obscure, but it still has a small dedicated following. Some fans even did a source-port, that allows netplay and few updated features. Sadly, after it's sequel OMF: Battleground got a mixed reception, Epic never touched this series ever again. A modern remake of OMF: 2097 would probably be awesome, considering how far fighting games have come.
Unfortunately, if your name isn't Fortnite, Epic don't give a fuck about you, so these 2 things are really just wishful thinking, but who knows. With the comeback of obscure platformer mascots like Kao and Gex, and franchises like Armored Core and Mechwarrior keeping the interest in Mechs alive, who knows what might happen.
jazzjackrabbit was great- on jj2 you could play online and people could make their own levels and it was just the shit- it was my favorite thing to do as a 8-10 year old and i spent probably around 4-6 hours a day playing. I also had the jazz 3 beta that wasn't released to the public- somebody gave it to me and it was pretty good.
Also- one of my teachers in college worked on Gex.
Would love a re-release of 3D Dot Game Heroes.
It's awesome and may do well if people know FromSoft was involved.
People would make walking penises. I played a kid riding a turtle
Viewtiful Joe is criminally under-discussed these days. Would love a remake
30:10 ok now i see what was gta v's main inspiration.
You taking a look at obscure games has been some of my favorite content from you, so to see a whole countdown of obscure games would be nice to see a remaster of, I clicked on this video games momen I saw it.
Thing Thing series is main one I really wanna see a remake came out from it. The first two games were more like tech demos, while three and four were a tad too short and it the games could be more polished in the age of highly polished indie games.
Abolutely loved Interstate '76, I grew up with the Vigilante 8 games but Interstate has also been my jam for a while now.
It would be cool to have a remake of the first game but knowing Activision they'd probably put a bunch of unexpirienced interns to make the game just like how they did with the remake of Vigilante 8, which only had about 3 of the 6 devs from the original game.
And as two fun facts: the soundtrack from Interstate '76 was made by a band called Bullmark and they used the same recording techniques, technology and instruments that were used by professionals back in the 70's for music albums, that's why the music sounds so authentic. Oh, and the character of Taurus was voiced by Greg Eagles and was one of his first acting roles before voicing Grimm in Billy & Mandy and Aku Aku in the recent Crash games, also by Activision oddly enough.
Gun, Gun would be a wonderful game to remake
Disruptor's disjointedness looks like Escape from Monster Manor
There is a game i played long ago with my deceased friend on the PS1 called "Frontschweine" (Front Pigs) in german. It was basically a Worms styled strategy game with pig armies in 3D. What differentiated it from Worms, was the far more darker tone befitting of an actual war game. The different armies were based on various countries with fitting voice sets, the areas were mined accordingly, so you had to watch your step and every unit had a different military assignment with according tools and weaponry. The games more humorous tone came from the fact that the units were pigs and from the one-liners the different nations spouted like:
"Confucius said: Let yourself be buried."
"Des is for my momma!"
"When i said, you should get a cut of our enemy, i DIDN`T MEANT THAT LITERALLY!"
It's Hogs of War and it has quite big community.
@@patrxgt9691 Ah, ok, didn`t know about that. My dead friend was the only one i ever saw with this game.
I doubt you're going to see this comment in a sea of other comments, but one series I'd love to see you delve into would be the Drakengard/NieR series(which, believe it or not, are connected lore-wise).
Drakengard is a PS2 action game that is rather clunky and repetitive, with a really bleak story that does a good job of deconstructing the glorification of mass slaughter present in games like Dynasty Warriors, and while the rest of the franchise never gets quite that bleak, it still never lets go of the desire to remind its players that just because you think you're doing what's right doesn't always mean you are.
As games, some are fine, some are great, but as an experience the franchise is unmatched, and I'd love to see you give the series the same treatment you've given series like God of War and Twisted Metal, because your content style is really fun to watch and I love hearing what you have to say.
Ten Video Games I personally believe Deserve a Remake or Remaster
1. Drakengard: This gem, designed by Yoko Taro, is a fusion of RPG, flight-based action, and on-ground fighting mechanics that delivers a unique gaming experience. With a dark and fascinating storyline, Drakengard possesses immense potential to be remastered with new-age graphics, improved gameplay mechanics, and refined storytelling.
2. Dark Cloud: This classic action RPG features robust city-building elements combined with real-time fighting, making it an extraordinary gaming product of its time. A remaster could enhance the game world, introduce deeper, multidimensional characters, and polish the combat system further to provide a modern take on this deserving RPG.
3. Echo Night: Beyond: This unconventional survival horror game, set in a chilling lunar outpost, offered an immersive, atmospheric experience that set it apart from its contemporaries. A remake could capitalize on advances in VR technology, offering a terrifyingly realistic, immersive horror experience while preserving the game's original puzzle-based gameplay.
4. Steambot Chronicles: This sandbox-styled action-adventure game's charm lies in its alternate history setting, mech battles, and player freedom. A remastered version can further its universe with improved mech customization, expanded in-game choices, and better graphical representation.
5. Jade Cocoon: This unique RPG was popular in the late '90s for its compelling 'Man vs Nature' narrative, creature fusion system, and distinct visual style. A remaster could enhance the monster designs, offer a more dynamic ecosystem, and polish the story's environmental themes - bringing a fan favorite back into the limelight.
6. Manhunt: Rockstar Games' controversial and brutal stealth-based survival horror title was notorious for its dark themes and intense violence. A remaster could better contextually frame its violent aesthetic, enhance its stealth mechanics, and refine the original's strong social commentary - creating a simultaneously thought-provoking and unnerving experience.
7. Sudeki: This action RPG was well-loved for its colorful visuals, distinctive characters, and real-time combat. A remake could refine these elements - offering high-definition visuals, in-depth character development, and an engaging, fast-paced combat system that could rekindle old fans' nostalgia and draw in new players.
8. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks: This spin-off from the classic Mortal Kombat series offered a unique blend of adventure and fighting gameplay. A remaster could amplify the cinematic storytelling, refine the combat system, and introduce modern graphics - giving this iconic title a much-deserved upgrade.
9. Resident Evil Outbreak: This spin-off was one of the earliest instances of online cooperative play in the survival horror genre. A remake could keep the original's cooperative mechanics but with modern features like voice chat, more dynamic environments, and smarter enemy AI, enhancing its tense, survival-focused gameplay.
10. Treasures of the Deep: This undersea adventure title's unique setting and gameplay mechanics were its greatest strength. A remaster could enhance its underwater exploration with vibrant graphics, realistic underwater physics, and more interactive environments, creating a more immersive and adventurous underwater experience.
These ten games, all distinct in their identity, hold immense potential for modern remakes or remasters. From enhancing graphics and polishing gameplay mechanisms to refining story arcs and adding depth to characters, the possibilities of modern technology could elevate these classics to new heights, surely delighting both new and veteran gamers alike.
I was about to comment Drakengard, as well! In my opinion, Drakengard is probably Yoko Taro's most accessible game he directed (that isn't called Nier Automata): The concept of an action RPG that blends Musou-like on-foot gameplay with Ace Combat-inspired air sections has tons of potential to stand out in an age of Soulslikes and Western-developed games that tackled dark fantasy plots. A remake will do Drakengard justice, or at the very least a rebalanced remaster of Drakengard AND Drakengard 2 (2005). The gameplay is perfectly fine as is, but the rushed development shows as it's incredibly janky and frustrating on foot, and good in the air but a tad slow.
Another game I'd like to see remade is similar to Drakengard in its combination of gameplay styles: Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, an anime-inspired mecha action game-meets-Quake-like first person shooter with a fun setting, plot, sense of humour and again, perfectly fine gameplay let down by rushed development leading to jank, glitches and unbalanced on-foot sections. I do think Drakengard is definitely more likely to happen however.
EDIT: Oh, and Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero! On paper that game is good, but on paper it suffers from some of the worst controls I've ever played. A 3D reimagining of Mythologies: Sub-Zero, maybe as a spin-off of Mortal Kombat 1, would be much appreciated. That and Shaolin Monks, like you commented.
I am so happy to see somebody mention Sudeki. Fun and fine on its own, but there could be a lot more. Not necessarily in length, but in depth. Stuff that showcases more of the world, its characters, and fun secrets and sidequest.
The closest things i've ever played to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks would be the Prince of Persia trilogy and something like Kya: Dark Lineage, for their mixes of platforming and in-depth combat. I suppose Maximo vs Army of Zin as well, by extent.
All of them good games.
Huh Steambot Chronicles sounds similar to the game Thunderful Publishing has in the making called SteamWorld: Headhunter.
I always thought that Mace's rights are at Netherrealm when Warner bought the assets from Midway, but I guess they only cared for Mortal Kombat and nothing more. Shame, NRS could've brought back to life all of Midway's fighting games and unify them all in one single game: Mace, War Gods, Bio Freaks.
How many vehicle sections are in Metal Arms? Because I swear I enjoyed the first stage, but I distinctly remember rage-quitting at or just after the first vehicle level.
oh shit, Metal Arms mention! i know that my older sister played it a bit when she was younger, but aside from that not much else. sounds pretty fun though! honestly id be down with seeing someone remake it if only for the fact that i know vaguely about it. cool video overall! 🌈
on another note, interplay still exists? and they just... haven't done anything??? thats so upsetting to me actually weve had years to get a new clay fighter game (that doesnt vaguely suck) and we just Haven't. i know that not many people are really clamoring for Clay Fighter 63 1/3rd to get recognition, but its special to me
You should have mentioned that Thrill Kill’s plot, for those that don’t know - after all, it’s an unreleased title, has a plot that’s sort of like Twisted Metal but they also seem to just don’t use their own plot at all.
It’s supposed to be about people in hell who are trying to earn a wish to return to life, except their endings give you their…. Backstory as an ending? What could be done in a remake is turning these original endings into openings, and then give each character an ending where they get revived + a wish
If going with the "had to have played it" rule, if playing the demo counts. I'd suggest R.A.D Robot Alchemic Drive. It was a PS2 game by Sandlot, better know for the Earth Defense Force series. Best way I can describe it is that it was a Megazord sim in that you play as a normal person piloting a giant robot to fight alien creatures. The control scheme was very odd in that you controlled walking with the shoulder buttons and triggers to move each leg backwards or forwards, needing to alternate to properly walk. The analog sticks were used for the arms, depending on the movement causing different types of punches. There were 3 robots you could use. One that was high mobility but low power that could transform into a jet, one that was slow but powerful that transformed into a tank, and one that was a middle ground and instead of transforming changed into a more combat mode. As stated at the beginning I've only played the demo, but always had fun even if I could never win. It be interesting to see a modern take of this, including the odd control scheme.
I would like to see a remake of Genji: Dawn of The Samurai, a PS2 game. I remember playing a lot the DEMO on the CD Jampack Vol.13. The funny thing is, this game was taking up space on that CD with games like Shadow of The Colossus and Sly 3. I think it had potential, and a remake of the game similar to Ghost of Tsushima would be nice.
I've thought for years now, I would love to see remakes of this handful of PS1 3D platformers I enjoyed a lot as a kid - Gex: Enter the Gecko, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, and Jersey Devil
I love the dig at Atari on the same day they announced that HD Atari 2600.
I like to see Insomniac make a remake on one of their very first FPS game. Also Viewtiful Joe as well. Make that happen Capcom.
For me?
War of the Msosnters
Black and White
Descent
Phantom Crash
There's a game on ps4 that's in a similar vein of War of The Monsters (I forgot the name of it) but it lacks the charm of the original
They could make a remake of the Obscure franchise, is basically Resident Evil Outbreak, co-op mode thrid person horror game with characters that have special skills but the story is a little bit more weird.
Psygnosis also made Colony Wars a tiny trilogy of early space ship combat games that were actually really fantastic for the ps1
Thank you so much, I've been looking for Metal Arms for so long and couldn't remember anything but the way it looked vaguely since I was very young when I played it.
Oh, also in regards of four-way brawlers in the vein of Thrill Kill: There's the Power Stone series. Probably the most known example of such a game type/genre out there, to my knowledge.
I agree same goes to The Spider the video game PS1
Yooooooooo Thing Thing! I remember playing those games all the time during homeroom in high school(which happened to be the computer lab). You can still find it online but I would love a "remake".
State of Emergency for PS2/Xbox is another I'd like to see remade. Basically GTA style combat in a small scale world where you just cause as much destruction as possible in the time limit, was very fun as a kid
Metal Arms and Madworld were pretty damn fun.
Plus I think Facebreaker needs a little love, its this boxing game with a wacky style, kinda like Ready 2 Rumble.
8:42
I also played this game, it was excellent until the disc read errors started happening, and then didn’t stop, tried pretty hard to get the game to work but my save data ended up corrupting at some point and I gave up. But it was fun while it lasted, cool game.
believe me i also played that tiger game, i totally forgot until you brought it out of nowhere
I mainly know the Sentinel games because of Kim Justice.
Devil's Third being brought up made me giggle
The people who made Th3 Plan also made the Gadget & Gadgetinis game?! WOWZER!
As somebody who's really fan of Kamiya's work (and having played Bayonetta recently), I'm full-in for the Viewtifull Joe and Mad World remake (yeah, Madworld was a Platinium joint too), or at least a Switch port. Ditto for God Hand.
Echo Night is easily a horror game I'd like to see brought back.
Battletanx was my first ever video game blue balling. We were so close to apocalyptic magic tanks!
Mace: Dark Age really does have potential, I'd also say the same for Weapon Lord, also metal AF.
For me, I've always seriously wanted a remake of Uprising (a mix of FPS tank and RTS builder). Also as an old fan of the Army Men franchise I could definitely do with some remakes of that like Air Attack.
Never expected Loaded!!!!!
I think Loaded should be remade and I can totally see how it would work if it came back. I can see it rocking out a visual style similar to the comic artwork done for the character design. That and the blood and gore just flying around like its Brutal Doom. That and maybe can have two guns to use and melee attacks like DMC or something of that nature.
I walked away and came back and heard the music from Loaded, I was like...I totally know this. I have one and two on PS1.
A Tai Fu remake would be awesome, i really hope they will make it someday
The Tokyo Xtreme Racer series needs to be remade. Even just one entry. What Genki wanted to do with Import Tuner Challenge/ Shutokou Battle X would work in a Remake of Zero.
Maybe add a twist, an Exit in the Mirai Ring leads to Hakone for the Kaido Battle remake bit. Make it a dlc.
1 game I never hear being mentioned in these type of conversations is the ps2 original Spy Hunter game, transforming super car with James Bond level weapons? That was fun game
I could swear Wanted: Dead was a spiritual successor to Devil's Third.
I think a better title would be "20 Weird And Obscure Games That BADLY Need to be Remastered/a comeback/Sequel"
Sure, some of them I can imagine getting a full-blown remake, but others I feel really need an HD remasters with some gameplay tweaks or just a re-release on modern consoles in order for people to have access to them officially.
I feel most of these games would lose a lot of their charm and identity if they were remade from the ground up with modern sensibilites.
if youre gonna dig hard enough to bring up Thing Thing series, allow me to bring up the Endless War series, as well as wanting another interactive experience that goes beyond minigames like Neopets.
As someone who loves using tanks in video games, BattleTanx is definitely one I wanna see get remade.
me personally i always think of seek and destroy when i think tank game that needs a second try the metallic angel wings to let the tank fly forever in ng+ was so cool and strapping the chainsaw and flamethrower to run a dive bomb tank was a feeling of sheer awesome i can't really describe
16:47 Hearing this, now imagining hime stretching like Link from the 3DO games
Man, Microsoft Fury 3 was such a fun game, and i remember playing the heck out of it, so that was a nice callout.
When I tried explaining beautiful joe to a buddy he thought I was crazy. Man I wish metal arms got a remake.
I think Viewtiful Joe has a very strong chance of getting remade. Hell, even just an HD rerelease like Okami got would suffice.
They aren't really obscure per se, but I'd like to see the Midnight Club games get remakes (moreso the first three, especially 3). They were made by Rockstar before GTA took off, so it's not totally out of the question, although the original games' licensed cars and music might complicate things
Metal Arms was by far my favorite game on Xbox other than Halo as a kid.
Some other franchises I'd recommend for a list like this are Bushido Blade, MechAssault, Demon's Crest, ActRaiser (specifically 1) and Tiny Tank.
im really impressed you listed thing thing i absolutely love those games
I didn't expect The Thing Thing, I loved playing that on school computers
I would love to see a Remake of Drakengard 3
And a reimagination of Drakengard 1 cause its a mess.
I haven't played them but as a Nier Fan im extremely interested in them
The closest thing I can think of “obscure” is want a remake of is Drawn to Life 1 and 2 and even then I’m hesitant to call them obscure
T'ai Fu is one of the best games from my childhood. Such an underrated gem...
Though TBP, if you asked me which game series/franchise needs a remake/reboot I’d say Bloody Roar because I miss Bloody Roar[namely 1-3 & Primal Fury/Extreme] and felt that it stood out from other fighting games at its time. And I’d love to see a remake and/or reboot with everyone brought back[except the newcomers from 4] and some brand new characters ala Killer Instinct 2013 but updated without going head onto into a brick wall like DOA6 did. But that would vary because we all know who owns the IP since Hudson Soft is no more. Though Konami could at least throw us a bone by rereleasing the first 3 and a half games on current systems[unless soundtrack issues] and Eighting is thankfully still around.
Fighting Force? Interstate 76? Yes please! And Terminal Velocity and its other versions, HELL yes. I played the heck out of those games.
Awesome to see Loaded get some love. I still have the big box of the sequel ReLoaded and it's comic.
You can still get ReLoaded ob steam, but it's a weird emulator port.
Mace the Dark Ages would be great as a Soul Calibur/Mortal Kombat hybrid.
Phantasmagoria 2 would be great in a style like Heavy Rain, would be a way to bring the actors back... have them voice their characters again.
Didnt expect the thing thing series here, those game are really good, mostly the arena pro, its the last one in the series and the most advanced one, maybe it can be kinda boring without a story but the gameplay its really good as it is with the visual, would be nice to see another one in a future
Nice. Me? I'd love to see more Skullmonkeys.
IMO, Neverhood and Skullmonkeys (and maybe Boombots) should get remastered for modern platforms and we should finally get a sequel, that resolves the cliffhanger at the end of Skullmonkeys
Seeing more games with claymation or other forms of stopmotion would be very interesting.
Legendary could use a remake. an FPS where you fight mythological creatures like minotaurs and Griffins sounded like a recipe for success. shame the game had poor graphics, eh gameplay and a glitch in the pc version that makes the game unbeatable
Legendary was fun. Shame it didn't get a sequel. Same for Turok 2008, thanks Disney.
I think there is a way to fix that elevator glitch on the pc version.
Custom Robo for Gamecube getting a remake or new series entry would be amazing on the switch
All i want is to build custom robots and fight them in an arena setting with my friends. Why is such a simple concept not in the gaming market?
They did make a DS game that added a behind-the-back camera option, but the devs sadly ran out of ideas on what to do with the series after that.
@@SirBlackReeds That is very sad to hear. The game deserves some love. Only thing I remember disliking about the GC version was the long unskippable dialogue segments, other than that 10/10 GC game
The full Legacy of Kain series badly needs a remake. Hell, they need to complete the story and in the process, remake the older games.
I’m surprised you didn’t put Legend of Dragoon on the list given your affinity for the game. I’d call it more obscure than Viewtful Joe
JUGGERNAUT !!! Love the ideas, the sound design but this is a budget, BUDGET title. Interesting game
You're my hero for the throwing metal arms on here
Just finished madworld for the first time recently and I must say that this is the best £2 I've spent on a video game. The game provides so much enjoyment despite it's short runtime.
"For the last f*#$ing time, NOBODY SAID THERE'D BE MATHS!"
@@jurtheorc8117 "I BLAME OUR SCHOOOOOLLLLS" honestly is a relatable fucking quote
I listen to that game's soundtrack all the god damn time lol. It makes especially good music to listen to when working out or at middle of work.
TBP: Our society needs more of a sex-positive attitude because it can be prudish.
Our society: If you don't like elementary schoolchildren learning about the LGBTs, how sex feels good, how to apply a condom, or drag queens twerking in front of toddlers, then we don't want you participating in our society!
Metal arms wowwww I been trying to remember what this game was called for like 10years thank you!!!
Atari's name was a confusing mess in the 90s as it was split between 2 entities: the Arcade division and the home division. The Arcade division was owned by midway believe it or not. So, Mace is in the hands of WBS...but they only focus on Mortal Kombat thanks to the failure of the Gauntlet reboot (and that Mace is a MK competitor, so you don't want to split your fanbase).
The Atari problem was so wild that as a part of modern Atari's lineage it was owned by Hasbro of all companies. Yes, THAT Hasbro, the current owners of...Power Rangers, the publisher of Monopoly, and owners of THAT Wizards of the Coast (D&D and Magic the Gathering). That Atari is more firmly interested in keeping the older arcade, 2600, and 7800 games in compilations...or making an HDMI compatible version of the 2600 that's compatible with 7800 era carts
I won't say they're as obscure as most of your list, but I would love to see another Choro Q game. The last one that was made that I'm aware of was on the Wii and it was nothing like any of the games before it, and that's in a bad way.
They were way more popular in Japan as they are still being made today, but in the states we got three car-centric games and some tank game that I can't remember the name of.
Road Trip is one I'd love to see remade, it's legit one of my favorite PS2 games
Viewtiful Joe was the first game I really realllllly just fkng loved. I enjoyed plenty of games before it, but man that game was so new and different
This is True, Godhand and Viewtiful Joe 1&2 NEED remakes bad!!!
ti fu wrath of the tiger Is one of the first games I remember beating all by myself with out my brothers help and I’ve asked my friends if they remember it and none of them do !
