Nostalgia is a powerful drug, and remakes are big business in the video game industry. Activision made a killing with the revival of Crash Bandicoot last year. They can also be critical successes as the recently released Shadow of the Colossus remake showed, the classics of yesteryear can still stack up with the best games of today with a new coat of paint.
That’s why the question we posed in this week’s Now Loading was “It was revealed last week that Bluepoint Games was working on yet another remake of a classic PlayStation title. What game would you like to see it be?”
Check out the gallery below to find out what the staff thought of this week’s question:

Now Loading: What Sony Classic Needs a Remake?
-
Tyler Treese
There's only one true classic in Sony's library as far as I'm concerned. So, Blasto obviously. -
Zarmena Khan
Twisted Metal!
-
Cameron Teague
Suikoden 2 or 3.
-
Anthony Nash
Either Syphon Filter (bring back the taser!!) or one of the Legacy of Kain titles.

Chandler Wood
Give me Legend of Dragoon on a modern console. I miss that game so much.

Syphon Filter would be a great remake. Maybe the original trilogy plus the two PSP games? -
Louis Edwards
I'd rather just have a new IP versus a remake of anything, but then again I'm old and have played every type of game imaginable. I would love to see something not done before and just be shocked by its awesomeness.

Blake Grundman
I am with everyone else saying Syphon Filter. It has been long enough!

For the husband, Syphon Filter. For me, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
True fact: our eldest is named after the Syphon Filter protagonist.
