Halo, Red Dead Redemption, and other modern games given a retro makeover (gallery)

What if the popular shooter Halo was made a decade earlier? What if Nintendo decided to make a fighting game featuring its stable of characters a console generation earlier than it did with 1999′s Super Smash Bros.? What if the role-playing game Final Fantasy XIII looked more like Final Fantasy VI? Well, they’d all probably be a lot more pixelated, but (as the gallery below shows) they’d still look awfully fun.

I'm just glad someone titled them all for us. I wouldn't have gotten Red Dead Redemption.

looked spot on to the capcom arcade game "gun smoke".

I can dig all of these. I wish they were real as they would be just great fun to play. The halo meets contra...I thought that when i saw the killzone shot at first.

It looked more contra-ish than the halo one.

The Gunsmoke reference is especially awesome - because Red Dead was originally a Capcom franchise that Rockstar took over.

Batman, MGS4, SSBM and Pikmin looked like they'd still be amazing in retro form

KidBroSweets24366d ago

It's funny cause that's one of the couple I actually guessed right lol. Really cool gallery though. Thumbs up

Yeah, it was a fun read, but the pics are too damn small.

I really want to play SSBB and LittleBigPlanet in that style. Looks awesome.

M_Prime4362d ago

it took me a second to realize SSBB was done SNES style lol.

I want Halo on my gameboy colour :(

Cool stuff.

The Brutal Legend one made me laugh ;)

FinaLXiii4366d ago

wow Brutal Legend actually would kickass with that 2D style the 3D makes it look goofy.

MrChow6664366d ago (Edited 4366d ago )

I would definitely play most of them

While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.

The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.

Report: Halo: Combat Evolved Remaster in Development, Being Considered for PS5

So the better version will be on PS5 with VR, haptic feedback, 4k, HDR and so on? Can we ban Xbox owners from buying the PS5 version? Put a requirement to have a psn log in to play it.

Tbf considering the Pro will be out you're right. Console wise anyway

BlindMango4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Why do these news websites keep labeling RUMORS as "Report"? Why even have the word "Report" in the title at all? It's like they are faking an announcement to get more clicks

Imagine seeing that headline 2 years ago 😂😂
