10 Cult Classic Video Games That Need Remakes
10. Beyond Good & Evil
Beyond Good and Evil released in 2003 and was generally well received, however sales failed to live up to lofty expectations that preceded it and it was considered a commercial failure. The Ubisoft-developed action-adventure title was however praised for its engaging story and impressive presentation that was usually reserved for the biggest AAA titles at the time.
Despite the poor sales, the outlandish adventure game did go on to develop a cult following and received a HD remaster in 2011 for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. The remaster was well received by fans as it improved the graphics for the high-definition era, whilst also preserving the beloved personality of the original title.
However, the remaster only gave the original a fresh coat of paint and, despite the updated textures and character models, the game looked dated and did not do the original presentation enough justice.
A prequel to the game is currently in development at Ubisoft, which could also be a good opportunity to gauge interest in the series and revisit the original title with modern technologies and game-design.
