Well, since we already have one remake... why not another one?
The game I am talking about is the best game ever (of course this is just my opinion). I would love to see Castlevania: Symphony of the Night remade for the Gamecube. That game was Gorgeous (and still is) and it was the most amazing game I have ever played. Again, this is just my opinion... but Denis, if you are out there lurking these boards it would be awesome if you guys worked together on a remake of this game. If this game was remade I wouldn't be able to contain my joy.

On a related note, I feel like I just murdered something innocent and carefree in cold blood.

That game was better than any of the 2-D metroids.

UNLESS they were new games in the series.
I don't think ANY small developers would like to have their creative talents go to waste in making remake after remake. Sequels......well.......that too.
As soon as ED was released and played, people scream we want ED2!
No, not yet. It's taking 6+years for Too HUman to come out. Do that first.
And Retro should be allowed to make Raven Blade (or similar) and their Car Combat game, rather than doing Metroid Prime 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and........
Even Rare are stuck making sequels to their game series.
But then their original games don't look to interesting, since it's not the same Rare we know. GbtG....meh. Kameo.....meh.
If Banjo Threeie has the same kiddy funny attitude it's had in the first two games, rather than trying to be hip and cool like Jak 2 and Ratchet and Clank with guns and laser weapons (which I know MS will somehow make Rare do), then the true spirit of BK will be lost.
NIntendo are stuck too, but at least we know they branch out a lot to create new gameplay experiences in both software and hardware (DS anyone?)

Right now they still have Too Human, and quite possibly Eternal Darkness 2, and maybe even a Dark Zelda... They will be pretty busy for the next 2-4 years...
Also, if they do make a new game... it would probably be an extension of a existing Konami franchis... I dont see Silicon Knights creating a franchise, so that Konami could own it.

How about a team up to remake Silent Hill? Or Zone of the Enders combined with Eternal Darkness.
"I CANNA SEE WHERE I'M GOING"
"OMG ROBOTS"
"WHERE?"
"IN THE DARKNESS"

I think it would be awesome to see that or someone do a Metal Gear 1 and 2 remake for the GBA with new cutscenes and better dialog

A remake will only waste Silicon Knights talent.
Post by: Cru_Jones83 on March 14, 2004, 06:48:08 PM
I still think they should make a game in the same vein as Castlevania:SotN. Anyone who has actually played this classic will know why it is arguably the best game ever created. Nothing Konami has ever done has outshone this masterpiece. The PS2 sequel doesn't even hold a candle to it.
SotN = Best Konami game ever, without a doubt.

Just because SK made a remake doesn't mean their role should be reduced to being a company for sequel/remake outsourcing. They have many ideas, all of which go to waste if you turned them into some kind of "EA spinoff".
Also, the idea of a dark Zelda is pretty bad, on /. somebody said Zelda is dark enough as-is, anything beyond that would look forced (like "OMG si t3h mature!"). That person also argued that while ED had a good story and nice atmosphere, the gameplay sucked. I agree with that, Zelda is focussed on gameplay, not story or atmosphere, ED is almost like Final Fantasy in that respect.

Plus like everyone else said it's a waste of SK to have them work on nothing but remakes. Talented developers should define themselves with their own content instead of someone else's. If Kojima wants to make more remakes than he can do it himself. However an original collaboration with the two companies would be cool.

TTS sold poor in Japan and it totally lacks of adverstatement in U.S.

It's been out for 4 days in Japan, man- show me some place that actually has Japanese sales figures. As for no advertising, neither did Ninja Gaiden but you don't see anyone predicting it to have poor sales.

Yeah, it did kinda bomb in Japan. It only sold 40k in it's opening week. It should do better in the US though.. I hope. Perhaps it's the Silicon Knights curse.
And yes, Zelda is fine as it is.

You guys have to face facts- Nintendo constantly reinvents the Zelda series. It's one of the main reasons it's my favorite videogame franchise of all time, because Nintendo is constantly offering new perspectives on it. There is no RIGHT style. I'd rather Nintendo experiment with a new style than have them make cel-shaded installments for the rest of the series's lifespan. I wish YOU guys would stop claiming to know what Miyamoto wants with the series, and what the correct style for it is. Just shut up already, we're tired of hearing it. If Nintendo sees the benefit in making a darker Zelda, great for them! Games don't have to be dark and mature to be good, but that doesn't mean a good game can't be dark and mature. Get over it.

And no-one said that Zelda should look exactly the same each time, but that the crowd it's been shooting towards shouldn't change...Tsk tsk for not reading carefully enough... ^_^

No need for a Dark Zelda? Your probably right, but many people wanted a Zelda wit hthe whole Space World graphics, and giving it to Silicon Knights is a way to do that.
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on March 15, 2004, 08:46:18 PM
No, I don't want Zelda to stay exactly the same. I like the fact it is a bit different each time.............what I meant is these people who want a mature/realistic/dark Zelda are silly. Go play OoT for the millionth time.
Why should SK develop it? I would rather have them develop their own games & ideas, and maybe, just maybe, get around to finishing off Too Human!
Post by: Ian Sane on March 16, 2004, 05:57:10 AM
It just seems so weird when people suggest that. I guess these people like Mario's voice as well. What's really annoying is this revisionist history bs I see where people who prefer the Wind Waker style say that Ocarina of Time isn't true to the Zelda style or is even a bad game. Yeah right. Everyone loved that game when it came out and everyone thought it was perfect.
It's also really hypocritical to bash people who didn't want to change to the Wind Waker style and then not want that style to ever change.
Post by: Bill Aurion on March 16, 2004, 06:16:43 AM
WW and OoT were both amazing games in their own right, just that I think WW's style is a more suitable fit for a fantasy world...
