The interesting thing about this game was you got to play as parties from both sides. This was a turn-based role-playing where your group of 12 warriors would face off numerous enemies and bosses over the course of the games battles. Two countries are on the edge of war and you and your band of merry heroes must try and stop this from happening, all whilst trying to deal with a powerful religious sect with plans for world domination and numerous other political struggles going on in the background. Finally, I’d add some combat for the protagonist along the lines of Mass Effect, which would add a new layer to the game.Īnother role-playing but set in a time of kings, emperors, wizards, and witches.

I’d also expand on the side quests, update the graphics to make the world mesmerising, and the dragon a thing of beauty. The original battles were turn-based, so update them to be real-time and make them truly epic, like Top Gun: Maverick but on a dragon. In your quest for revenge you get to fly around on a dragon.

Set in an ancient world, you play as Edge, a young man trying to get revenge on the Black Fleet who try to kill him, after he discovers an ancient artifact that turns out to be a woman. One of the greatest role-playing games ever made say some (me) and absolutely worthy of a remake.

There were also small puzzles to solve and civilians to rescue, plus one of the gimmicks of the game was that each level had random elements so each time you played it you would in theory be playing a slightly different level and going a different route.ĭue to the limitations of the Saturn there were only four levels, so for the remake a lot more would be needed, or an open world could be created with numerous different buildings including things like skyscrapers or historic buildings that needed to be protected at all costs. Give it a 2022 makeover with jaw dropping graphics that show crystal clear waters, beautiful sunsets, giant pyramids, and let me blast Anubis soldiers with supernatural weapons and bazooka King Ramses in the face.Ī game where you run around putting fires out may not sound like fun, but it was surprisingly entertaining. Think Doom meets The Mummy and you’ve got the gist. Time will tell.Ī first person shooter set in and around Egypt where a city has been taken over by unknown supernatural forces and you’re a soldier who has to try and sort out the mess. *I know Sonic Frontiers is in development and whilst I do hope it turns out to be good, it appears to be slightly underwhelming. Certainly have sections or zones where speed is key but Sonic was a platformer, give him some tight controls and let him platform. Also don’t make everything about going as fast as possible. Throw in some nostalgic 3D versions of places like Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, and others from the 90s, make them fun and I think they could be onto a winner. I’d also keep the secondary characters to a minimum and just make this primarily about Sonic beating Dr Robotnik, almost like a soft reboot, if you will. To go about making this mythical game I would use the aforementioned Super Mario Odyssey as the benchmark in terms of the quality and gameplay standard that would be required. Even things like Super Mario 3D World put anything Sonic has been in to shame, which is sad as I think he deserves a modern 3D platformer that’s actually good. To use the Italian plumber as an example, Mario has been in some utterly magnificent games such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and Super Mario Odyssey.
