� 5 Games We Wish Would Get Remastered | VIRAL LISTS

  • 0:06 - 0:10
    Hey everyone, The Walking Virus here, As gamers
    we all have those games that we love to go
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    back to time and time again,
    which is why the recent surge in remasterings
  • 0:14 - 0:18
    has been doing so well, everything from simple
    updated remasterings like
  • 0:18 - 0:23
    The Handsome Jack collection, to entire rehauls
    like ducktales remastered, allow us to play
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    and enjoy some of our old
    favorites in new ways without hauling out
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    our old equipment.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    But theres still plenty of classics that we
    wish we didn't
  • 0:30 - 0:35
    have to find an a/v jack in order to play,
    so here's our Top 5 Game Series We Wish Would
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    Get Remastered.
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    #5 - Actraiser
  • 0:39 - 0:44
    Actraiser was an amazing game from the SNES
    era, putting the player in the role of a god
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    trying to restore his peoples
    faith as he battled various monsters from
  • 0:47 - 0:52
    mythology, it combined peaceful god-sim gameplay
    and intense action-platforming
  • 0:52 - 0:56
    segments into something spectacularly different
    from anything else of its time.
  • 0:56 - 1:00
    If the game were to be updated It's
    different gameplay elements would lend itself
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    perfectly to a combination of god of war style
    action levels, with a
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    simplified version of civilizations city management.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    But since this games rights have been sitting
    in the square enix
  • 1:10 - 1:15
    vaults for over 20 years it's highly unlikely
    we'll get to see any new or remastered Actraiser
  • 1:15 - 1:22
    awesomeness but hey, we
    can dream.
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    #4 - Dungeon Keeper
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    One of Peter Molyneux's crowning achievements,
    Dungeon keeper put players in the role of
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    an evil overlord looking to lure
    in the heros of the land into their dungeons
  • 1:35 - 1:42
    full of ferocious and terrible monsters...and
    also worthless imps...tons of
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    worthless imps.
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    The game caused players to not only have to
    think of how they were going to design their
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    dungeon to best
    lure the heroes into devious traps, but also
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    what monsters they would attempt to lure to
    their dungeon, as monsters had their
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    own patterns and natural enemies they would
    fight with.
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    This game is probably one of the more likely
    to get remastered as
  • 2:01 - 2:06
    EA at least tried to reboot the series on
    mobile...unfortunately EA did EA things and
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    the game ended up being a complete
    disaster but at least they're still doing
  • 2:09 - 2:15
    things with the franchise...I just want Hi-Def
    Imps to smack around EA, IS THAT SO
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    MUCH TO ASK?!
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    #3 - Giants Citizen Kabuto
  • 2:21 - 2:26
    Giants Citizen Kabuto is one of the strange
    gems of the ps2 era that didn't do spectacularly
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    well at launch but sold extremely
    well after release.
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    The game combined 3rd person shooting and
    actiion elements with the base building mechanics
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    of an RTS.
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    The
    games crowning moments were the charm of it's
  • 2:38 - 2:42
    unique sense of humor, and the diverse gameplay
    each of the 3 playable races
  • 2:42 - 2:49
    provided, theres something so immensely satisfying
    about destroying a base as a 25 ft monstrosity
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    while they feebly attempt to
    destroy you.
  • 2:52 - 2:56
    Unfortunately the studio who made this gem
    has since closed down and no one can figure
  • 2:56 - 3:00
    out who the rights actually
    went to when that happened so this one is
  • 3:00 - 3:04
    probably one of the least likely to occur,
    which is a shame because who wouldn't want
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    to see a Smartie in HD.
  • 3:07 - 3:12
    #2 - Legacy of Kain Series
  • 3:12 - 3:18
    Ok so I know this isn't actually one game,
    but this entire series was one of the first
  • 3:18 - 3:22
    times I can think of besides the ultima
    series that actually managed to conclude a
  • 3:22 - 3:26
    multi-game story in an at least relatively
    satisfying way.
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    The games focused on the
    intertwined stories of Kain and Raziel as
  • 3:29 - 3:34
    they struggled over the entire fate of Nosgoth,
    and featured action adventure gameplay
  • 3:34 - 3:38
    whose influence can still be seen today in
    titles such as god of war.
  • 3:38 - 3:41
    With it's dark world and storytelling this
    series could easily
  • 3:41 - 3:46
    benefit from an overhauled remake to bring
    its graphics to modern times.
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    This is another Gem that Square Enix has it's
    hands on,
  • 3:49 - 3:52
    although they did have a recent release based
    on the IP so we can only hope that we will
  • 3:52 - 3:57
    get to see the world of Nosgoth get
    the shiny new coat it deserves.
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    #1 - Chrono Trigger
  • 3:59 - 4:05
    I don't think there's anything I can say about
    Chrono Trigger that hasn't been said thousands
  • 4:05 - 4:10
    of times already, it is one of the most
    beloved RPGs of all time.
  • 4:10 - 4:15
    This game not only had a spectacular combat
    system that caused players to think beyond
  • 4:15 - 4:18
    their action meter
    filling up, it also has one of the better
  • 4:18 - 4:23
    uses of a time travel storyline and the cause
    and effect that such travel would cause to
  • 4:23 - 4:24
    happen.
  • 4:24 - 4:27
    It had memorable moments and characters and
    a run time that allowed the game to be impactful
  • 4:27 - 4:30
    without feeling like it was
    dragging too much.
  • 4:30 - 4:34
    This is one of the first games I fell in love
    with as a child and I am rather amazed that
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    it has never gotten
    a remastery already.
  • 4:36 - 4:40
    considering how well Akira Toriyama's art
    style seems to work with cell shaded graphics
  • 4:40 - 4:45
    I would be super excited
    to see this game get a rehaul to a 3d style,
  • 4:45 - 4:49
    although once again this will all come down
    to Square Enix and I think we'd have to wait
  • 4:49 - 4:53
    until they're done with that Final Fantasy
    7 overhaul to see if they'd ever be willing
  • 4:53 - 4:56
    to do anything with the series again, speaking
    of
  • 4:56 - 4:58
    HURRY IT UP SQUARE!!!
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    But what do you all think?
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    Do you feel like there's a game that should
    have made this list or think we were wrong
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    about some of the ones on
    here?
