What PS2 Classics Should Get The HD Treatment On PS3?
If it happens once, it can certainly happen again; perhaps it's only a matter of time.
Now that Sony has lifted the lid on that awesome God of War Collection, which features the first two gems in that stellar series reproduced in beautiful high definition (plus Trophy support), the next question from most gamers was predictable: what other PS2 titles might get a remake for the PS3? Kotaku asked this question of several publishers, and it seems there is some interest in taking the SCEA remake approach in regards to certain established franchises. A Konami representative said:
"We are constantly exploring unique ways to expose players to some of our legacy titles such as Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill. Re-releasing games on Blu-ray presents an exciting opportunity for a publisher, however we have no announcements at this time."
Ooh, yeah, how about the first two or three Metal Gear Solid games in Blu-Ray form? Wouldn't that be sweet? Survival/horror fans would be pulling for Silent Hill, which could be downright terrifying in spine-tingling HD. And hey, Capcom is actually asking the gamers what they might want to see; check out what Christian Svensson said in the company's Unity forums:
"I don't want anyone reading this the wrong way (as I'm not saying anything like this could happen) but I'm seeing some interested for DMC to get this treatment. Are there other titles you'd like see go this way? I'm looking for some temperature readings."
Hellz yes to DMC but we wouldn't mind seeing some love tossed Onimusha's way. And as we're big fans of Final Fantasy, we're hoping Square-Enix takes notice and decides to do something crazy great, like give Final Fantasy X a chance to be seen again in a whole new way. Or...yep, here comes the FFVII remake rumor again. As if we needed to resurrect it...

Add the stuff (for example monsters and weapons) from MH2 and if you want other stuff (console co-op) from the other games in the franchise.
I could live with this until a real MH game releases.

Plus, since the Wii from a glance, looks more to be an offline-type console (I tried playing online....was laggy as heck!) playing with friends in one place seems to be better than playing it online (MH games are usually played co-operatively, not competitively, and with friends, not just random people)...and the sales most likely factored Capcom's decision to put it on the Wii.
At least that's what I think why MH3 is Wii-exclusive, not PS3. Although, it might be a timed one who knows ^.^?

I already know about why MH3 went to the Wii (insert lame ass excuse) but what's holding it up from happening now. They already know PlayStation owners are loyal to the franchise (look at what happend when it went to the Wii and it's sales # compared to the PSP) and we would buy copies. Now with the PS3 being $299 it should be a no brainer to do it.

HD ready won't cost a whole lot to produce, it wont make much sense to produce them if they won't sell well or are priced to high for the consumers.
on topic my picks would be.
1. remakes of Final fantasy VII,X, and XII
2. Dragon quest VIII would really look awesome in hd,
3. One not mentioned at all would be resident Evil 4
4. DMC 1,2, and 3
5. GTA III,GTA liberty city, and GTA San Andreas would be my first choice for HD treatment along with updated soundtracks talk about a great HD funfest of titles. the above titles where all platform pushers not to mention mutimillion sellers. I also feel each of these titles would at least sell million or more each. with low overhead costs this would give Sony and developers more money to produce even better games and keep costs on us down.

I think GOW collection will sell plenty.
If they make more of these upgrades, I want them to be games I haven't already bought (so pretty much none of those people have suggested). I own two copies of FFX; I'm not buying another. I don't care how good it looks.
I'd love to see all of the Legacy Of Kain games on one disc. (last edit, LV)

I'd like to see Xenosaga Episodes 1, 2 and 3 given the HD remake treatment. All the other PS2 games I play have already got PS3 counter parts (or ones that are coming within the next 12 months). But Xenosaga is something that remains a PS2 exclusive. I'd love to see KOS-MOS or Shion in all their HD glory.

Not sure Mortal combat is needed when we already have half a dozen really good fight'em ups. I didn't play Fatal Frame, so I have no frame of reference on that one.

Myself, I've always held a little spot for the original Tenchu's, Seeing one of those stealth kills in HD would rock, and if they added online play to a remake with everyone running around as ninja's (Third person Socom style) using stealth kills and shuriken's? Sign me up!
Online sword fights? might be something to market with the wand..lol..

Although if someone made an RPG with fighting dynamics of Soul Caliber or something like that, I would love to see that. A story line with a fighter would be cool to see.
