Would you buy HD Remasters... of 16-bit classics?

It wouldn't look that well composed all the time but i mean those asets and light could be the same.

Let's just dream for a little.
Folks, imagine this made into whole games:
I would gladly play this on a big screen in all it's HD pixel glory.

This man gets it. Art style is 100% more important and impressive than realism.
Man that takes me back to my childhood. I remember one part of Rygar bringing my next door neighbor to tears it was so hard.
It is a great game, but the native res is genesis resolution making it an SD remake.

We should still be careful for what we wish for... something like this could happen:
How do you like your Belmont: Arnold Schwarzenegger or Yagami Light?
I think it looked WAY better. I love Udon's artwork.
Anyway, I'd totally buy 16bit stuff with HD sprites. FF6 would be perfect for this.

Oh and I mean I'd want those Phantasy Star games the same way Final Fantasy IV complete for the PSP is.

Yes, please!
The Japanese only PS2 remakes of 1 and 2 might interest you, they were originally meant to have a localization when IV was remade but unfortunately IV's remake fell through.

One and done.
Hey now, I thought that I was pretty clear that I want them to not be tied to a specific system. I want to be able to purchase a ROM to use on the emulator of my choice, which isn't anything like Virtual Console.

So I'm gonna say no.
You forget the MI2 remake which was a thousand time better done than the first one.
Retained the art style while polishing it up.
The best remasters are those that act as if they just supplanted the original high resolution art into the game. Would absolutely kill for a Curse of Monkey Island remaster with the Bill Tiller art at high resolution for current age PC's.

Wow, cool. Too bad they're in Japanese, and its only the first 2? Maybe one day the whole set will get this kind of look and released in other places.

I'll look past it for the amazing gameplay the game has.
You can look past horrendously garish redesigns for fantastic gameplay, but not the lovely original pixel art?

IOS controls like shit, and the PSP rendition had some nifty stuff added, however it might be a bit off topic, but it's a "feel thing" in this case.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
Touch controls are shite, but I assumed he was talking about the graphics, not the controls (the PSP would obviously have the upper hand there).
I don't recall saying I dislike pixel art, the original game being in 1080p is enough for me.

So basically:
- Virtual Console: "What? Not even a single filter? Nintendo you lazy bastards if I want to play SMB I just grab my NES and plug it!"
- 2D remakes: "WTF is this shit, that's not the art style AT ALL. It's just some dumb drawings made by a monkey who doesn't know shit (my shit) to how to redraw a sprite!"
- 3D remakes: "MY GOD. Take this aliased crap away, the animations are recorded from drunk monkeys ?"
A developer will have a hard time deciding how to do an HD remake reading this thread xD

Damn.
I understand the reasons for keeping the PS remakes in Japan, but with XBLA being an option now, Sega should translate the games and release them on both XBLA and PSN.

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope next gen can allow for such graphics playable. I would kill to retain that childhood memory of pure amazement and awesomeness and thats the only way; to make concept art playable.....
Fuck, it ain't happening any time soon...
It doesn't? I was planning on loading it up again (once I find my disc) and trying some of the mods

To be honest, I think a game like Symphony of the Night looks alot better than say Street Fighter HD Remix and Rayman Origins.
Creating something with depth and beauty out of a limited amount of pixels just fascinates me. Not too mention the financial benefits of it.
There doesn't seem to be much of a nuance anymore when talking about graphics when even portables are supposed to look like Uncharted and Killzone.

I would drown every member of this forum for a SotN that looked like Rayman.

Not really. I'd buy re-releases that packed as much value as Sonic CD. They need to be doing that. Cram in loads of extras, filtering options, widescreen support, maybe re-do the soundtrack- but I don't give a damn if all that's new is that it looks 'HD'.
If you're redoing the visuals, you might as well remake the whole game.

You know, originally I really liked the idea of HD remasters, like ICO/Shadow and Sly Cooper and all that, but I'd buy them and never feel compelled to actually play them. I guess it's because I don't mind the old graphics, though Shadow of the Coll obviously played better.
But no. I wouldn't buy HD remasters of 16 bit classics. To me it's almost like adding color to the old black and white classic films. I'd rather play them in their original form.

I would love some of the classics done in HD, like Super Metroid, or in the classic style but as the pics above.
But I'm gonna have to say I would LOVE to have some new games actually use the old engines... Like for example an Offical Super Metroid 2, using the original sprites and some new ones, all new areas... They just ooze charm.

UGH... I had forgotten all about the Toki remake.
Any word on that ever coming out?

I think the biggest problem with stuff remastered stuff like SFHDR or that great Orioto artwork is that the animation would have to match or else it looks really out of place. If Super Metroid looked like those awesome mockups but still animated like the 16 bit game it would create a strange uncanny valley of 2D hand drawn art. Updating all the animation is what is probably more intensive than just updating the pixel art to most publishers and developers. I'd settle for something that retains the classic 2D 16-bit look but maybe filters it to look good on an HD, wide screen display.

If somebody redid Metroid 2 and Super Metroid, I'd buy a 3DS in a SECOND.

There should be more tampons in gaming
I really liked that Metroid pic. I've never played them or many of Nintendo's classics but I could see them doing something like that for the Wii-U be an excellent way to appeal to newcomers who haven't experienced the games yet and it would be good for nostalgic fans who want that classic gameplay with a fresh, shiny coat of paint! I for one would jump onboard for that.

Holy shit. Why didn't XSEED or NIS pick this up for localization? I would pay absurd amounts of money for those games..
Yeah, I agree with this. HD Remix did this as well, but GAF still hated on it. Some of the changes made to the game other than just the graphics irked GAFers, I guess, but the game was meant to be an iteration/sequel to SSF2T than just a re-release.
Also, WOW @ those Phantasy Star I and II remake screenshots. ◉_◉
