Wishful thinking?


As I mentioned earlier this weekend in the WRUP, I decided to pull out the big guns (literally) and play through Red Dead Redemption on my Xbox 360 again. I was about to hit halfway through the game, when I ended up watching the complete 'Dollars Trilogy' (A Fistful of dollars, For a few more dollars, The good, the bad, and the ugly), since I was apparently in a western mood for some odd reason.

But that's beside the point, I ended up getting into a mindset on how I would love to see this game get re-released and as they call it 'Grand Theft Prettied.' For those new to that saying, basically it's when a game gets a makeover, same story, maybe some more content, but the actual graphics, textures, and sounds are all cleaned up. I remembered that at some point Rockstar had mentioned a possibility of a Red Dead Redemption 2 in the works, but this was almost 2 years ago, and my hope was that when the second game came out, we would also see RDR going through that re-release. I decided to do a quick search to see if anything new had been mentioned or if there had been any updates. I did find some articles mentioning that yet again RD2 was getting pushed back another year, but no concrete evidence to support it. There also was some mention of a new IP address being linked to Rockstar around the time E3 is going to happen.

Well I decided to ask around and see what games people would like to see re-mastered. Whether it was because the game itself, the story, or even the characters that left a lasting impression. Maybe the game itself was just that amazing in it's entirety when they originally played it that they'd pay for it all over again. I guess this is where the  title comes from, it's a lot of wishful thinking on an older gamers part.

Some decent ideas that come to mind right away would be Bioshock 1/2, Fallout, or even Morrowind. This is where I leave you guys to the comments section below to see if anyone feels the same way, but I also leave you with a question.

If your favorite game from the past was re-mastered, would you pay to play it again? If not then what games would you like to see re-mastered in general?


As always,
