The Xbox 360 and PS3 generation introduced gamers to the first wave of HD gaming. More importantly th𒈔ere was also the concept of high definition in general for TVs and of course, there was yet another format war between Blu-rays and HD DVDs. Boy am I glad we're out of that rough spot. For one, it was expensive to get hooked up, but now, after the ashes have settled, it🐻's become the standard so everything is next to dirt-cheap. Although I will say somehow Blu-ray players are still expensive. Our current generation didn't have that craziness associated with a new format war thankfully. PS4 and Xbox One games were basically like HD+ in quality. Good, but not a huge step forward.

Let's dial back into that first HD era for a second. This was the first time companies started re-releasing games under the HD banner. For example, there was Final Fantasy X HD. Here's the problem they ran into with this current generation though. Companies wanted to port things over from the last generation, but they couldn't really call these ports HD because the games were already in high definition. For example, The Last of Us Remastered. Is it any better than the PS3 version? Yes, but only slightly. The term "remaster" has really muddied the line is what I'm basically getting at. Like when is a remake a remake and n🗹ot a remaster? Well, I don't have the answer, but what I do have are fifteen terrible remasters and fifteen I’m still waiting to be announced.

30 Unwanted: Resonance Of Fate

I tried to get into Resonance of Fate so many times, but every instance was met with screaming. It's a really cool battle system that is also one of the worst in that it overcomplicates things. Couldn't it be enough that I look cool shooting my guns? Did you really have to make it Dark Souls hard, Sega? If ther🧜e's one silver lining in this remaster i✨t's that it might prompt them to make a better sequel if sales are good.

29 Still Waiting: Metal Gear Solid 4

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was the reason I bought my PS3. It was the first HD game that I had to play. Also, I was in college, poor, and it took two years to save up enough money even after the price drop. The point is it means a lot to me. It's not my favorite in the series, but it was still pretty awesome. I can't believe it's been trapped on the PS3 since 2008 though. Most of the Metal Gear games have been re-released in some form, but not this. 😼Very strange.

28 Unwanted: Prototype

Who remembers Prototype? I didn't think so. It came out the same week as the superior original superhero video game, inFamous. I still bought and enjoyed wreaking havoc on the city as this weird Venom-like monster man, but i𒉰t was very average.

It takes two to make a monster.

They released a sequel, which was worse and then nothing b෴ecausꦓe, well, the second sort of destroyed the series. That's why this remastered collection is so weird. It was originally digital only and barely advertised.

27 Still Waiting: Super Mario Sunshine

It's unfathomable to me how many great GameCube exclusives are trapped on that system. It's not like Nintendo is shy about re-releasing stuff either. I think the biggest tragedy from their first-party studios is Super Mario Sunshine. It often gets ridiculed today for not holding up as well due to some controls that haven't aged well, but if they remastered it like they did with The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, it'd be a bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚig hit. I think it's a mat🌄ter of when and not if.

26 Unwanted: Dead Rising

Okay, so Dead Rising was pretty substantial back when the Xbox 360 was young. Seeing that many zombies on screen was amazing, but there were a lot of problems back then that are even worse now. There are the time constraints, the bugs, the bad story, the mechanics, and everything in-between. The bad parts do hold some charm in the same vein as a movie you'd watch on Mystery Science Theater 3000, but it's de൩finitely a game that should ha𒀰ve stayed buried.

25 Still Waiting: Dead Space Trilogy

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Dead Space. It launched on October 13, 2008, which was the day before my birthday. It was an early gift to myself and it was exactly what I needed. It brought back horror in a big way and was like Resident Evil 4, but in space.

A perfect way to celebrate ten years of horror.

The sequel maꩲy be better, but I'm kind of tied on that verdict. The third game is pretty🐻 meh, but that said I'd love a remastered collection of all three of these.

24 Unwanted: Assassin’s Creed III

There was a big joke around the time that Assassin's Creed Rogue and Assassin's Creed Unity launched. One, Rogue was better even though it was last-gen only. Two, when was it coming to new hardware? This was 2014 and it just got ported to the PS4 and Xbox One this year! Talk about too little too late. Even stranger was the recent announcement of Assassin's Creed III, one of the worst in the franchise. There are so many problems with it that even a remaster can't 🙈fix them.

23 Still Waiting: Demon’s Souls

Demon’s Souls, to be hyperbolic for a moment, changed the video game industry. Actually, that's not hyperbole because it's true. Just think about how many clones have come out since, or at least games inspired by the difficulty bar they raised. It's a bit rusty compared to its spiritual sequels aka Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but it's still excellent in many regards. The online servers were shut down this year, which made many believe a remaster was coming. It hasn't 🅷been ann♓ounced yet, but I bet we'll see it in 2019 to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

22 Unwanted: Dragon’s Dogma

One of these Demon's Souls clones of which I speak is Dragon's Dogma. It's not an exact copy, but it definitely has that vibe about it. There are a lot of cool idea๊s in here admittedly.

We want Deep Down, not this garbage remastered.

Running around and slaying giant monsters you can climb is epic in my book. Unfortunately, everything else just stinks. It's clunky and I tried many times to get into, even with this rem༒aster, but it just never clicked for me.

21 Still Waiting: Fallout 3

The Skyrim remaster was cool and all, but there was a Bethesda game I wanted more: Fallout 3. It was the very first Bethesda title I ever played let alone in the Fallout series. It blew my mind. It was so big! The graphics even back then, were𓂃 not impressive I will admit, but I didn'🐻t care. I just loved exploring that world and I'd love to do it again on something like the Switch. While I'm wishing, how about an Amiibo too?
