Support NeoGAF

[Men_in_Boxes]

I listened to a lot of gaming podcasts this week and the following leak (?) was brought up consistently...

What surprised me was that all the hosts seemed to want Bluepoints next game to be another remake. The idea of them making an all new game was barely entertained, and if I'm being honest, almost scoffed at. This shocked me personally because I assumed remakes are, by nature, less exciting than new IP.

So what does the NeoGAF collective say? Should Bluepoint (a studio with more than 90 employees according to their website) commit to another remake? Or should they begin their journey of forging a new path by making an all new game?

 

[SuperColourful]

MGS Remake

 

[FUBARx89]

Well, remakes and remasters are what they are known for. They didn't exactly set the world on fire with the game they made themselves.

 

[Dr Bass]

Depends on what their idea for a new IP would be. If a remake ends up being a "better game", go for that.

 

[Altares13th]

Depends on the game. Only remake I'd like them to do is ICO. Anything else, new IP for me.
On the other hand, I'd really like them to make quick remasters for the last guardian and Bloodborne! Shouldn't take them longer than a week each...

 

[Mister Wolf]

Something new. Dare to be great.

 

[Birdo]

Burnout 3 remake

 

[SSfox]

Remakes can be scary sometimes cause some devs just don't know how to do it, but Bluepoint has done a great job on Demon Souls and SOTC. So i say MGS Remake would be awesome, but i mean a true remake faithful to the original legendary epic game release in PSX, but with Kojima as director/supervisor would be even nicer so we would avoid a dogturd ala Twin Snakes.

 

[TheAssist]

I dont think remakes are inherently worse than new IP's.

There is plenty of new IP I dont like. With a remake I at least know right away if its gonna be my taste. I like good remakes of good games. Plenty of them need them. Games arent as mature as movies and hence old games with good ideas, stories and settings can improve greatly by using new tech and updating the gameplay. I think having a studio for making good remakes is not a bad thing tbh.

 

[Orta]

Resident Evil 2 Remake Remake.

 

[SilentUser]

Neither of the options. Would like to see them creating a brand new game from an established IP. However, not sure which Sony IP could fit them well as of now. Old Sony IPs I care about are varied, like Resistance, Legend of Dragoons, Socom and Twisted Metal, for example.

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD

Well, remakes and remasters are what they are known for. They didn't exactly set the world on fire with the game they made themselves.

The only game they made themselves was Blast Factor, which came out in 2006. Bluepoint Games was founded in 2006 and was probably only a handful of people at that point. I'm not sure if they should be forced to wear the scarlet letter of remakes forever based on what they did 15 years ago.

 

[Danjin44]

Either make their own game or Dead Space 1&2.

 

[ACESHIGH]

SYPHON FILTER REMAKE GOD DAMMIT!!

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Kingdom Hearts: Re: Re: Chain of Memories. Turn it into a soulsborne and make the card decks manifest in character builds. MAKE ME PROUD, BLUEPOINT

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[Kokoloko85]

Remake:

MGS
CastleVania Symphony of the Night
Syphon filter
Ico
MGS 4
Dark Souls
Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver
Legend of Dragoon
Vagrant Story
Suikoden 2
Parasite Eve

 

[Alandring]

I would prefer a spiritual successor rather than a remake. Or maybe a remake and then an all new sequel.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

They need to remake Killzone 2.

 

[GymWolf]

Depends, in general i want to see a new ip, but how could i refuse a mgs1 or parasite eve remake?!

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Since nobody is lined up to make it happen, give the task of updating Bloodborne for PS5 and PC to Bluepoint.

After that, a Killzone or Resistance collection. It doesn’t have to be built anew, just a proper update to the SP campaigns and I’ll be satiated.

 

[Camreezie]

I dont want them to be wasted on bloodborne. A remake of something that's been dormant for a while would be nice

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Radical Rex remake please.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Imagine how good a Resistance 3 remake would look on the PS5

 

[Papacheeks]

Give me a god damn Blasto remake, twisted metal black remake with all of the story, online and new re-imagining of their specials.

Syphon filter remake, Legend of Dragoon, Jak and daxter series remade from ground up.

 

[graywolf323]

I want them to fulfill that tease of Legend of Dragoon remake

 

[skit_data]

I’d like more remakes because we haven’t seen Bluepoint try out making a completely new game. They might not be up for it, since it needs good writers and stuff. We might get a 7/10 really nice looking game.

We will definitely get a 10/10 remake from them though. They are the best in the business doing that.

 

[Codes 208]

Let the company that specialized in remaking games continue to remake games

 

[rickybooby87]

MGS Remake!

 

[A2una1]

Soul Reaver Remake

 

[sublimit]

Personally i'd be incredibly curious to see what kind of original IP they could create.

 

[sublimit]

Let the company that specialized in remaking games continue to remake games

What if they don't want to work on other people's creations anymore?

 

[Salmon Snake]

Bluepoint should stick to what they are the best at and that is making awesome remakes.

Next remakes/remastered which I hope from them are:
- Bloodborne (like Demon's Souls)
- MGS1 (a full blown remake)
- Resistance trilogy (remaster like Uncharted trilogy, maybe modernise the controls and things like that)

 

[ZywyPL]

Killzone 2 or Resistance 3 remake for me please.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Legend of Dragoon remake son

 

[Codes 208]

What if they don't want to work on other people's creations anymore?

I’m sure if they really wanted to they would’ve done so by now

 

[sublimit]

I’m sure if they really wanted to they would’ve done so by now

Or maybe they didn't had the right opportunity yet? They have only grown their workforce significantly AFTER the Shadow of the Colossus remake.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Stick to what you are good at. Demon's Souls is the best remake I've ever played. Keep doing that.

 

[Kagero]

Killzone 2
Resistance 1-3


But we all know they are working on MGS which I'm totally fine with.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Ape Escape please. But I wouldn't be mad if they made a new IP.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Remake Tekken or Ridge Racer

or

 

[NoviDon]

Killzone 2 or Resistance 3 remake for me please.

KZ2 remake with multiplayer and im going ape shit. like I may legit get dragged out of my apartment in handcuffs.

 

[Fbh]

Either a whole new IP, or at least a sequel or "re-imagining" of some existing IP.
I find 1:1 remakes a bit boring. They are really exciting for a couple of hours until you get used to the new visuals and then it starts feeling like you are just playing the same game again

 

[Javthusiast]

Let's see. They never made an original game, but critically acclaimed remakes and I am a huge MGS fan.

Yeah, I take a remake please.

 

[ReBurn]

I'd like them to make a way for me to play the PS3 games I already own, tbh.

 

[Danjin44]

at least a sequel or "re-imagining" of some existing IP.

That depends, I have zero trust in them to make sequel to something like Bloodborne.

 

[kingpotato]

 

[WorldHero]

Get the Fox Engine from whoever owns it and remake MGS 1-3.

 

[kyliethicc]

Knack 2 Remake
