I understand it must be difficult for games developers to come up with new ideas but is updating older games to HD welcome in the gaming world or does it just show that it's become stale ?. Imo, modern games look fantastic but where's the game play gone ?. There are very few games nowadays that I return to time after time once completed, so will these HD remakes/updates be welcomed ?.
Thanks for all/any replies.

Above are the ones that work. Especially for me, I'm 25, so they were a big part of my PS2 gaming as a teen.
Only one reason I can see not to release Remakes/Updates? The AWFUL Tony Hawks PS HD.
As with most things though i you think it's unnecessary they nobody is going to force you to pay attention to them
Ive had the metal gear and devil may cry 1's and while metal gear has always looked amazing they just look the same but are avaible on 360 etc
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying it's not worth it but isn't it just a case of 'We've ran out of ideas so lets go back to the good old games and just update them to HD and hope gamer's accept it' or do gamer's really want these remakes ?.
Some gameplay....

I really struggle to think of what games could be considered "modern classics" in the current console generation. On PS3 there's MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, any of the Uncharted series but the rest?
But if I think over the previous two generations, there are a LOT of games that I would go back to again and again and again. I make a point of playing through MGS, seeing all of the endings and easter eggs, once per year. That game never fails to draw me in; the same with any of the Oddworld games.
It is without doubt the most asked game to be remade or have a HD upgrade... will it happen? Unlikely unless you have the PC version.
I do think it is a good idea but only if the demand is there and it doesn't become the in thing for companies to do. By that meaning they focus more on remakes than coming up with new games and new stories etc.
'Mercenary' on the amiga for eg, wire frame at the time..Love to see this in full HD modern graphics. The amiga game only took about 15 mins to cpmplete...so they could use that as the intro maybe.
Well they did a pretty impressive tech demo of a HD FF7 for the PS3 a few years ago, enjoy

I think i would lose it if Shenmue 1 and 2 got a HD remake.
Agreed. I loved playing 2 and 3 again in HD.
