@lordtheknight 20-30 for games thats ok but i dont know where your going, but used FPSs games are relatively cheap, cause they are in so abundance. both MOH for GC were about 2 bucks each, timesplitters 2 was about 8 bucks, they would have to throw in a mass of extra features to justify the price. and i dont know how you would do that with such old games. really, they need to be 20-30 for compilations b4 anyone in their right mind would even consider buying those

Well you won't have to throw in as much as you are assuming. If it's one thing Virtual Console, Mario 25th Anniversary Collection, Super Mario Advance, GBA NES Classics, RE4 Wii Edition, God of War HD Collection, PSOne Classics, the Sega Genesis collections, and so many other re-releases have showed us, it's that gamers will pay for older games, even if you don't load them with features. Just make sure the price is reasonable.

But some would still work. I'm thinking, and this is just hypothetically assuming I could make it happen this way, that:

* Activision would make a port of Call of Duty Legacy (the PS2 double pack of the CoD console games) with graphics taken at least from the GC/Xbox versions, and with online updated with the features of Modern Warfare, and even allow patching like in Black Ops. Then have the control of MWR along with Classic Control support (basically just what the games are on gamepads).

* EA does a compilation of its MoH games on the 6th gen systems, with any online improvements from the new game added. And do a port of Black with local and online multiplayer.

* Not sure who has the rights to the first three Timesplitters, but make a trilogy of those games, and add online if they didn't have it (which likely would have only been on the Xbox version anyway).

* A proper Metroid Prime multiplayer game (since this is hypothetical, why limit this to third parties?), which would have Motion Plus for things like throwing bombs or using the grapple beam like a whip.

* Splinter Cell Trilogy (not limiting this to FPS either) with graphics at least as good as the Xbox versions.

And that would just be a sample of the first phase. Plus all of them would have at least a $10 million marketing campaign, since people don't rush out to buy things they haven't heard of, especially when it's on a system where they don't think the games are on the system anyway, so we have to make sure they know.
