Feature: Top 5 titles in need of an HD upgrade
Over the last several months there has been an increasing demand for titles with an HD upgrade. God of War, Prince of Persia, and even Sly Cooper have been lucky enough to receive this treatment. With all of the fantastic titles that were released last generation, which ones do you think made the cut? Hit the break to view our picks.
5. Freedom Fighters
Freedom Fighters is something of a cult-classic among many hardcore gamers and it’s truly a shame that it hasn’t received either an HD upgrade or even the next-generation sequel it truly deserves. Adding HD to this title would really add another dimension of enjoyment to a title that features smooth gameplay and an engrossing story.
4. Jak and Daxter (Series)
This series is a no-brainer for any hardcore PlayStation fan. Next to Ratchet and Clank, many could argue that the Jak and Daxter series is the pinnacle of platforming on the PlayStation 2. It’s highly unlikely we will see a full-blown sequel this generation, however revisiting these titles in HD would be a welcome experience.
3. Kingdom Hearts (Series)
The Kingdom Hearts series has been completely missing in action this generation (at least on consoles). Providing an HD upgrade to this wonderful series would generate a lot of positive press towards an inevitably sequel and it would also allow gamers to enjoy it in HD glory.
2. Silent Hill (Series)
No other title has invoked the type fear that Silent Hill has. Over the years though, Silent Hill hasn’t particularly aged well. An HD upgrade could help invite newcomers to the series, along with giving longtime fans a chance to enjoy these titles in HD. Achievement and Trophy support is always a plus as well.
1. Grand Theft Auto (Series)
No series is as popular as Grand Theft Auto, and no other series is in need of an HD upgrade as bad as GTA. In particular, fans have been hoping for an HD upgrade to the highly regarded Grand Theft Auto: San Andres, and I echo that sentiment. With a possible Grand Theft Auto V announcement coming up, releasing an HD collection would be a fantastic move.
