Wouldn't mind a non-buggy Vampire sequel either.

SquareEnix remade a bunch of the original Final Fantasy titles for the DS.

wish they would hurry up and give us more info on FF7.

There is an effort to remake HL1 in the source engine: Black Mesa: Source

The website is kinda dead, but the devs are still active on twitter.

I can't wait for Black Mesa to be finished. Hopefully they'll be able to meet the 2009 release date they're aiming for.

hi and welcome to the forum...

yes a lot of games have gotten remakes since 2009.

Crysis - Remake
FF7 finally got remade... well partially.
Mass Effect Legendary.
Diablo 2 Resurrections

And i hear possibly Crysis might undergo the entire series being remade like ME: Legendary.

Plus Command & Conquer

A remake of Swat 4 would be awesome.

- I think there needs to be a distinction between a "remaster" and a "remake".

For example, I would say a game like Crysis or ME:Legendary edition are remasters, not remakes. They are still fundamentally the same games running on the same engines as the original release, someone just went back in and cleaned things up, ran a sharpening filter on all the textures, stapled on some newer tech extensions, bundle all the DLC together and did some QA so the games can actually work on modern systems.

Games like RE:2 and 3, Final Fantasy 7 etc are all actually remakes. All the original art assets, engine, etc are thrown out and the "same" game essentially rebuilt from scratch with brand new tech and art assets.

Not many games get a full blown remake, but remastering has been a thing for a while now.
