Let's say you can reboot one game with an unlimited budget. The only stipulation is that the existing game has to have been released before 1984. Which would it be and how would you do it?
>>12390459>before 1984then nothing.real games only started to appear after 1993 with doom.
Berzerk. Making it a third person shooter would be pretty cool. Damn someone should actually do that.
>>12390484I would make the robots curse though. Fight like a robot, PUSSY.
>>12390459Elevator ActionI turn it into a modern TPS with multiplayer options. Art style remains that of Elevator Action Returns.
Jungle Hunt, reimagined as a sandbox game in darkest Africa, kind of a cross between Far Cry and MGS3.
>>12390459okay, this is beyond retarded, but imagine Joust as an open-world VR game
>>12390459The ultimate Dig Dug reboot, with a fully modifiable environment (can carve through a 3D world, find secrets worlds underground and all). Plus an arcade mode that plays more like the original game, and multiplayer.It would kick Minecraft's ass.
>>12390509I'd play the fuck out of this.
>>12390459Robot Tank. It's my favorite game on the 2600 and I would love to see a autistic modern recreation where you drive a retro futuristic 1980s cold-war remote control UGV across the Western United States fighting rogue UGVs with wire guided missiles. A blend of arcade action and simulation with the component damage and system failures of the original, but still getting to blaze away dozens of enemy vehicles like it's ace combat. Unfortunately it's owned by Activision so we'll never ever see a reboot or anything besides a tiny reference in the latest slop of duty.
>>12390459Your reboot fantasies are not retro.
>>12390459Frogger reboot by David Cage
I'm seeing an open-world 3D re-imagining of Munch Mobile that plays like a cross between Katamari Damacy and Burnout Paradise. You control a sentient car with giant hands that can pluck objects, people, and other cars straight off the street to eat them and go faster. Periodically, you're challenged to proc-gen races and have to plan out not only the shortest route, but the one with the best food to beat your opponents. Of course, other cars can try to eat you, too, so you have to outrun them. The game has an absurdist, darkly-humorous atmosphere with plenty of J-Pop and colorful graphics, of course.
>>12390459Tennis for two but it's a MMO with tennis-based battle system
>>12390546>Tennis for Two>Massively multiplayer
>>12390552Tennis for Thousands
LadyBugI would give it to Hideki Kamiya to go nuts and do a Bayonetta clone using the franchise
I can't think of anything that needs improving
cuz mousecop
>>12390840Sakurai would make a sick 3D multiplayer combat game using the Joust IP
>>12390459>The year is 2083You are Cody Elevator, an excon recovering drug addict pulled into the sprawling mecca of action city on the search for your long lost wife. The ruthless crime gang "the crime gang" has taken over action city and installed tolled elevators in liue of public transportation. You'll need to ascend to the top of buildings as well as the top of organized crime to free action city from the dsyotpic reality of vertical only transportation.
>>12390846I can imagine a gritty violent remake in the 360 era.Nowadays it would be a flash-looking indie game
>>12390851The non /vr/ Bionic commando was the first thing I thought of
>>12390459Marble Madness as a VR arcade machine where you run on an omnidirection treadmill, the music and sprites are exactly the same, it's just the sprites suspended in 3d space doom style
