Because I think remaking a game is much more different and challenging than porting a game to other platforms. For example, RE remake and DmC have not only better graphics than their predecessors but also different gameplay mechanics, story plot (for DmC), voice actors, level design, engine... It is just my honest opinion and I just don't know whether or not Bluepoint is capable of developing those game elements. If they did build a their own AAA game before, I would have no doubt and look forward to the new game. But the fact tjst Bluepoint has little experience with making AAA games really bugs me a bit. Again, opinion
There are actually 2 parts of the announce giving 2 different possibulities.
-one says ps4 and Xbox one
-the other says on 'a' current gen console (no s)
I personnaly hope it's uncharted but i doubt the mistake is in the first version.

WTF.
1) DmC isn't a remake.
2) There's no evidence they're working on a remake.
3) Even if they were, it wouldn't be a AAA game. They're a small studio.
4) Who gives a crap so long as they deliver? Silicon Knights had plenty of "AAA experience" before they fucked up MGS The Twin Snakes.

PLEASE let it be final fantasy XIII trilogy or Mass Effect... That would make me so happy

I'm not sure why people are so certain it could be Uncharted, the listing speaks about remastering a franchise on current gen, it doesn't really lock itself to Uncharted seeing as that there are many highly acclaimed franchises that existed between the PS2 and PS3 that could fit this mold. It could be any game released on the PS2/Xbox/PSP/PS3/360 that was a part of a franchise and is need of a remaster. It could be a game from the Dragon Quest series, Onimusha, Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, etc. The possibilities are endless. I think it's just convenient that it could possibly be Uncharted, but this project could have been in the works before the delay was announced.

I'm hoping for Uncharted or Mass Effect
kinda want Mass Effect more

Again, the listing talks about a proprietary engine, so it seems unlikely that it is running on a widely licensed engine like Unreal (which Mass Effect used).

Just because you think the possibilities are endless, doesn't mean they are. Of Bluepoint's six ports/remasters, four of them were for Sony, one was for Konami and one for EA/Respawn. It's not rocket science to guess that they'll continue working with Sony and in that case, Uncharted is the obvious answer and has been since long before the delay.
We can also completely rule out some publishers, like Square Enix. Even if they were willing to hire a western developer to port their Japanese games (which is extremely unlikely), they already own one of the best port developers around (Nixxes). They don't need Bluepoint.

Uncharted stop gap.

my best guess is Metal Gear Rising and or Metal Gear Solid 4
Unless Mass Effect was being rebuilt in Frostbite. Is EA crazy enough to do that?

Only 6 months?
As much as I want it to be a MGS collection with MGS4, as that would qualify for the proprietary engine part,. There simply isn't enough time since MGS V is releasing September, and the collection would need to be on both Xbone and ps4 (yes I know porting between the two doesn't take that long anymore, but it still requires fine tuning etc)
Whereas, Uncharted trilogy remaster, can be released in November or December, now that Uncharted 4 has been delayed into spring 2016, and this would only release on the ps4.

I think if they were, it would take Bluepoint longer than 6 months to do it. From what I understand, Frostbite is very hard to learn to develop for, and is part of why so many of EA's games are taking so long. DICE essentially has to train all of their studios on it; doesn't seem worth it for a single contract job.

please be mass effect, please.
Wouldn't they have to fully remake the game since it's a PS1 series? May as well do a reboot if they wanted to bring the series back.
Except Dino Crisis 3

Its funny how every game that ended its franchise at number 3, are also the bad games from a franchise that people want to forget. See Dead Space 3, Lost Planet 3.

Pipelines? Definitely Mario Galaxy

Would Bamco outsource something like Dark Souls 1? Or do you think they have "moved on" since Dark Souls 2 is about to come out on current gen consoles?

Yeah, it's likely Uncharted. Bluepoint games is already working on a handheld -> PS4 port (probably Uncharted: Golden Abyss).
It makes a lot of sense.
It makes a lot of sense.
That would seem needlessly ambitious- I am sure a lot of ppl would already buy an upressed original version.
Not to mention frostbite being a complete hassle
That lists hurts really bad. Probably the few series I would blindly buy remasters of no matter if I'd even have the time to play it.
I don't believe it is a modern game. If you read the job description some things stand out:
Responsibilities
-- Create high-quality current generation character models from lower-resolution geometry
-- Model features which were once represented in texture as geometry
-- Maintain original character functionality and animation ability
Also one of the requirements is "Understanding of character skeleton and skinning techniques is a plus".
My guess is that it is an older game using older techniques, so no Uncharted or Mass Effect.
If the description did not mention the Xbox One I would have said Crash Bandicoot.

It could still be Crash for PS4, the description says "a console." I think it could likely be so, too. Maybe Ratchet and Clank?
Yeah thats definitely a remake and not a remaster

I couldn't help but read this in Vizzini's voice (Princess Bride) and therefore feel the person you quoted's logic is "Inconceivable"!
Edit: Turning texture into geometry? Character modeling? Definitely MGS.
Crash Bandicoot could still be on Xbox One, it's no longer owned by Sony.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas. And since I'm going way out guesses, I'll add in the original Fallouts too! The whole fallout collection.
Fallout New Vegas so far seems to do better on 360 than it did on PS3 (I'm kinda banking that this time I'll be able to actually finish it as PS3 was the worst platform for it). Not that I've gotten far but it certainly loads a helluva lot faster and it really does feel like the draw distance even is significantly better.
Fallout 3 wants a word with you (sure, some people, including me, will argue Vegas was better. But I'm pretty sure Tactics or Brotherhood or one of those would be the one that people universelly said was the worst <- can't remember which but it was one of the last old style ones. Not to mention plenty of people absolutely loved 3).
Oh wait, that's what I would want it to be, not what I think it might be.
