The PlayStation 1 has one of the best gaming libraries ever. Find out which titles Screen Critics Shaun believes deserve modern remakes.

[FallenAngel1984]

Legend of Dragoon

[naruga]

Parasite Eve 2 for me .....the game is a hugely underated gem and the true spiritual successor of the og RE1 (as the RE writer and inspirator worked as Parasite Eve 2 director) ..

[_-EDMIX-_]

That's an amazing game but just hypothetically speaking I would expect the first game to get a huge remake before the 2nd but I would definitely love to see that series get revived.

I think now is the right time for Parasite Eve to get a remake.

[jreeves82]

I was also going to say Legend of Dragoon.

[arkard]

3rd for going to mention Legend of Dragoon

[Hozi]

4th Legend of Dragoon is such a classic.....

That and Vagrant Story, Mega Man Legends, and Chrono Cross.

[CryofSilence]

5th

[1Victor]

Tobal # 1,jumping flash VR,battle arena toshinden philosoma VR are my picks

[Retroman]

@ 1 Victor

If only we could get reboot of Battle Arena Toshinden and Ridge Raaacer .

[MunchMiller00]

Good god. The LoD goggles strike again. Crap graphics, galactically crap music, worthless characters, retarded story, hilariously crappy combat, and the worst offender of all, the cringe inducing narration. "SPINNING SLASH!"

Pour fire on this pile of s**t, light it up, and watch it burn.

Take the goggles off bud. This game is the very definition of digital garbage.

[DogJosha]

@munch "cheap graphics" Why are you reading an article about PS classics that need to be remade when you clearly aren't old enough to have grown up with them, and are too spoiled to play something that old? Clearly old games are not your thing and that is alright. Games would suck if each game was made to appease everyone instead of just appeasing the few that want to play them. Go back to enjoying your interactive movies and let us older folks daydream about remakes of the games we loved back in our day.

[Retroman]

@ munch

if you feel these die hard classic games pile of s**t why are you here on this article ?????

We Old Skool gamers dying to play these games once more.
The Thrill of Fun . Nooooooooooo open world she-it , but Pure beautiful colorize Fun.
You son , type in YouTube all these titles above, below.
Buy yourself Snes,ps2 play these games.

[Hroach616]

First comment and I have nothing else to say. Good one! Fuck I would love that. The only reason I even have my vita is so I can play that from time to time

[Sam Fisher]

How about tomba?

[BoriboyShoGUN]

No Syphon Filter?? No Soul Reaver ??? terrible just terrible!!

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

The Legend of Dragoon, MediEvil, Ape Escape, and Twisted Metal.

[Soulst0rmer]

N2O: Nitrous Oxide would be such a great game to come back. I think it would be a really awesome indie and it would give The Crystal Method an opportunity to do a new soundtrack to go onto added levels and such. Would love this Tempest inspired game redone in full HD cuz it was really cool.

[corroios]

Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Vagrant Story, more crash games, Spyro, Gran Turismo, Ridge Racer,

[Eidolon]

MediEVil, Dino Crisis. FF8-9. Grandia.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Syphon Filter, Soul Reaver, Dino Crisis

[txboy05]

Dino Crisis was too short I thought but man I played it to death

[NapalmSanctuary]

Definitely a proper Silent Hill trilogy and Gran Turismo Trilogy, along with a Twisted metal Trilogy (MK trilogy style), Tenchu 1&2, Bushido Blade 1&2, Ace Combat trilogy, Armored Core trilogy, Medal of Honor & MoH: Underground, FF7,8,&9(if we're talking near 100% faithfulness to the original), Colony Wars 1&2, Chrono Cross & Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, parasite Eve, Front Mission quintet, Strike series Quintet (like Soviet Strike), and like Eidolon said, Dino Crisis. Add Resident Evil trilogy to that if RE2 remake doesn't turnout as faithful to the original as REmake was.

[Godmars290]

Amazing how the modern game industry has become unable to make these games.

[4U2NV]

I feel you there it seems everyone nowadays seems to think its all about photo realism and graphics in games now instead of great game and art design and the story telling of games.
Its mainly these new age gamers that grew up on call of duty instead of experiencing the vast range of diverse games that came years before

[Retroman]

Amen bro say that.

[MunchMiller00]

Unable? Likely not. Unwilling? Definitely.

Whole different market today, with a tidal wave of cement heads to try and siphon money from.

[Godmars290]

Between two console gens leaning on 3D mechanics and the mentality towards social based gaming, I'll argue for unable. Not that there aren't indie titles that do 2D and mimic classic gameplay, the point is that they mimic rather than come up with new things. Then you get to AAA, which itself shouldn't exist, with half if not more of a budget going to advertising, and that's a whole other mess.

[bluefox755]

It is a shame that people seem to be more worried about 4k than gameplay and narrative now.

[ShwaaMan]

Colony Wars!!!
Am I the only one that remembers this series, it was fantastic?!

[dollison27]

I was going to say that! They have to remake Colony Wars....This game would be sick with modern gameplay and graphics. Throw in a littlw multiplayer and you win even more.

[ShwaaMan]

Exactly!!! I'm not even huge on multiplayer but free roam space games with today's graphics and multiplayer/co-op?!!! I've been thinking about this for years

[Iceball2000]

Worlds Scariest Police Chases!!!

[IndieFolk]

I'd love to see Xenogears, Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden 2, Spyro & NASCAR Rumble remade.

[Godmars290]

You know at this point many of those RPGs suffer any number of issues which prevent from being made. Mostly legal as well as the companies holding the majority of the IPs being inept.

[affrogamer]

MGS 1
CTR

[bluefox755]

Can't believe it's missing FFT and SOTN. Would love to play those games again.

[Tsar4ever01]

COLONY WARS!!!!!!

[StuffAndThings]

In your face Jim Ryan

[JackieDrunken]

Bushido Blade and Tenchu!!!

[Pancit_Canton]

Legend of Legaia, Star Ocean 2, Megaman Legends, Beyond the beyond and more

[Servbot41]

Ape Escape... although I'd rather have two or three or a new game that isn't shovelware like the last few.

[Deathdeliverer]

Zero Divide, Battle Arena Tohshinden, Star Gladiator, R4 (ridge racer 4), Bushido Blade, FF7 (woo hoo), Legend of Legaia

[twiggytree12]

Croc, Metal Gear Solid, Blasto, Spyro, Medievil, Courier Crisis, Dino Crisis, Treasures of the Deep

[Retroman]

Metal Slug,Contra,Gradius,R-type ,Raiden,G-Darius ,Earthworm jim etc.....

[Knushwood Butt]

I'm playing a lot of Raiden on my Vita these days.

I'd love it if Arcade Archives released Raiden DX. An arcade port would be more than sufficient.

[dollison27]

Medieval would be great out of your list.

[Godmars290]

Bring back Burnout.

And as much as I seem to hate modern gaming, wouldn't mind seeing an actual attempt at Spyhunter.

[1060FX8300]

Pepsiman!

[DreadGara]

Lol

[luis_spartano]

It makes me ANGRY that SYPHON FILTER is always forgotten.

These crap sites/articles don't know what the word CLASSIC means.

[DaFeelz]

EINHANDER!!!

[Retroman]

Ratchet and Crash reboot only prove classic games still in demand.

[MunchMiller00]

Parasite Eve....... 2? Really? Not the far, far, far, FAR superior original? WWF Smackdown? Jesus man. How did you make this turd list? Just pick names from a hat?

[Chumdiddy]

2 games:

MGS and Tenchu 1

Full HD remake. NOW.

[Fist4achin]

Omega Boost, Ghost in the Shell, Xenogears, Parasite Eve,...

[deathtok]

Agree with some of the picks. Throw in these: Jet Moto, Loaded, Legacy of Kain.

[GuruStarr78]

What about Strider 2, Galerians, Road Rash, Destruction Derby, Bushido Blade?

I have all of them in original form on cd, but it would be cool to see them in 4k.

[InKnight7s]

Pepsi Man 😎

[ShadowWolf712]

How the heck do they not have Legend of Dragoon on this list?

[Rebel-Dew]

I need me a Medievil remake

[kakashi81]

[GreenUp]

Jet Moto

[Platformgamer]

For me: medievil, tomba, spyro, gex, croc, bugs bunny games, parasite eve 2, ape escape.
Crash and abe gets already a remake, and i loved them... C'mon sony, see my list and do your best :)

[rigo8582]

I would gladly take a Metal Gear Solid remade in the fox engine and open world like the Phantom Pain.

[Vetalka83]

I'd change those smackdown games for Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

[chaox_90]

They should bring dino crises

[TheRacingX]

Tobal #2, Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver, Project Overkill, Einhander, Rage Racer, Tenchu, Fear Effect, syphon filter, ..... I can keep going....

[Enate]

XENOGEARS!

[TWB]

The Tombi series would be awesome...

I really do think they deserve another chance. Based on what I have read, they died off because they came out at the most shtiest of times when games were going 3D, but these were fixated in sidescrolling (although the games were technically 2.5D in gameplay). Im sure that they could have resonated with a larger audience if they only didnt come out during a transition period.

They were even critically widely liked, yet they sold abysmally. What a terrible end to the series.

There doesnt even seem to be many games quite like those around.

[sackboyhappy]

Die hard trilogy
or devs could make a game we havn't played before, that would be nice

[deathtok]

Dude that game was fun!

[sackboyhappy]

yeah, it had great music and three different game styles
god i miss the playstation boot up sound/ logo, i wish the ps4 was like it
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Fearmonkey]

I want a Jumping Flash with VR mode reboot. I love that game, would be amazing.

[2pacalypsenow]

Parasite Eve 1&2

[KakashiHotake]

It may not be the most well known because it came at the end of PS1's life cycle but I would like to see a remaster of Tiny Tank. That game was just pure fun. Soul Reaver would be nice too. Heck after all the reboots that Tomb Raider got I'm surprised that Soul Reaver and Blood Omen are so forgotten.

[sackboyhappy]

yeah soul reaver was a good game too, a ps4 sequel/ prequel would be nice

[PurpHerbison]

Smackdown was solid. I remember I got WWF No Mercy and Smackdown Christmas morning all those years back. Totally wasn't expecting to get both titles. No Mercy got way more play time but it was the better game.

[PurpHerbison]

I need to toss Vagrant Story on my pi today.

[txboy05]

Xenogears remake would be beyond epic. I actually would prefer it over FF7 remake.

[SonyWarrior]

Need Croc on a list
