MantaRay2K Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 For bonus content I would like "making of", creators commentary while playing if it's possible, artwork, soundtrack, prototype sketches ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuvenant Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I always like the concept art for the game as bonus content. Seeing how a character went from first thoughts to final product is always intriguing. Original music and remastered music compilations are always wonderful as well, the music is one of the things that really bring the nostalgia home.

Special T Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Some of these have already been mentioned but here are my thoughts on what takes a remaster or collection to the next level. - Overworld hub like Sonic Jam - Extra story elements or events but only if they make sense and add to the overall experience - Updated graphics that stay true to the original i.e. if a game was in 2D make it HD2D instead of 3D - Add special options or cheats e.g. an easy mode, double xp for RPG's, faster walking, etc. - Graphics toggle like Halo MMC - Music toggle for games where the sound track was unique based on the region like Sonic CD - Unreleased or Beta stuff like including Star Fox 2 on the SNES classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonbelvedere Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I know I may be spoiled but I need me some new short stories. A prologue or epilogue, canon side stories. The type of stories that expand on a character or an event in-game. Doesn't have to be any new feat of gameplay mechanics or anything too in-depth, anything will be fine when you have devs that care about the story they want to tell. Something along the lines of a Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed (peak btw), the wave 4 DLC to Xenoblade 3. Or Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, the Extra Mode in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Masterpieces of their IPs detailing some very unique playing experiences.

SteelPen2 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I would like to see concept art and "museum" type collections like others have stated. Devloper commentary would be cool to listen/view to as well. Get their thoughts on why they chose to design a level a certain ways and what was included or not in the final build, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JereBear Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I'm a fan of the interviews with devs. Really love seeing behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas5D Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Restoring cut content. Now that's rare to see. Of course, you should always have the option to play without it, just like the original game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphoots Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I think secret bosses, boss rush mode, randomizers, cut content, Easter eggs all add up to make a remake pretty special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenanFS Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I think the best example for me is Capcom's releases, with concept art, soudtrack, the game manual, early character designs, making of and extra in-game content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus6 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I have to agree that interactive museum is next level! Any additional content is an extra bonus for me art, videos, soundtracks, stories and if it's interactive that's just collectors dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesWarlord Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 If extra levels or content are added to a game I already love, I’m so happy. It’s not necessary but I love getting new content, playable characters, items etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphermage Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Any remake of a game that included text should be done with voiceovers. This takes a game from OK to Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
