Top 10 Best Video Game Remakes

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Just a few days ago Capcom released one of the most anticipated games of the year (yes only a month in) with the remake of Resident Evil 2. And while we’re still uncovering all the secrets to be found within the ruins of Raccoon City it’s already clear that this new edition not only pays homage to the original but will go down in history as one of the best remakes of all time. But when it does come time for it to take its place on list what are the games it will have to surpass? That’s the topic of this week’s Top 10 as we revisit gaming’s best remakes and determine what is the definitive list of the best games that got re-done."

Twin Snakes has voice acting that felt tired and they changed some lines for the worse. The cutscenes became from realistic to Hollywood level ridiculous (I'm looking at you Hind D scene where Snake jumps and bounces off a rocket and then shoots a stinger mid air) and the addition of the MGS2 gameplay made the game stupidly easy. You could just use the dart gun in first person and put everyone to sleep in the hangar with zero risk. The only real improvement was the graphics.

About Twin Snakes: "..streamlining the game-play and making just the right of improvements without fundamentally changing what made the original so good."

Oh yes. Sticking a first person mode into a game not designed for it and giving the player a ranged knock out didn't undermine the tight level design, challenge, and boss fights at all -eye roll-

Let's not forget the "Grip" meter which you can use to pass up entire areas of the game simply by dropping from a ledge.

Dialogue changes, context alterations, over the top cut-scenes bordering on full blown parody--It's one of the worst remakes in recent history. Praising it is like going up to someone who repainted the Mona Lisa like, "Thank you so much for painting a sh*t eating grin on her. What this piece really needed was less depth, less ambiguity, and to be over the top silly."

Shadow Of the Colossus Retro Review – A Colossal Experience in a Beautiful World

Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005.

Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.

SovereignSnaKe104d ago

I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.

MrNinosan104d ago

I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.

DivineHand125104d ago

Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.

The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.

For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
