Creative types like game directors saying they’d love to do a remake of Final Fantasy VII, that’s one thing. But now the CEO himself says the company will, at least, “explore the possibility” of doing so.
In an interview with Gamasutra, Treasure CEO Masato Maegawa reveals that Microsoft has requested the classic Saturn shoot-em Radiant Silvergun for Xbox Live Arcade, but Treasure has yet to say yes.
Can it be true? Now that the Wii is confirmed as the new home of violent hardcore gaming is the time right for a remake of good old Resi 2?
Japanese fan board 2ch has popped up a rumour concerning a possible remake of Biohazard 2 (aka Resident Evil 2 – but you knew that, right?) that will be exclusive to the Wii.
If the rumour is correct — and when has a random post on a Japanese fan site ever been wrong? — then we will be treated to a full Wii-ified remake, with some additional story elements. There will be a new ‘swordsman’ enemy (sword waggling minigame, anyone?) and ‘Resident Evil 4 Viewpoints’, which could mean anything – possibly 3rd-person over-the-shoulder stuff?

Remakes of old classics – especially ones done by bedroom coders – aren’t exactly new, but then they’re often not exactly great, either.

It’s the work of an Argentinean chap by the name of Milton, he’s building the whole thing via Game Maker, and it’s been nearly three years in the making. Trailer’s after the jump if you’re interested, and you can check out screens and a project status report at Milton’s blog.
