Bully and KOTOR II
Eternal darkness for the GameCube could be so good with a proper remaster.
The original Quake but the asthetic needs to be identical and NIN should actually do the soundtrack.
Deus Ex would be great, it was so ahead of its time.
For most of them a proper remake rather than a remaster but I'll take what I can get
- Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
- Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (originally used the same engine as Age of Empires 2 so porting it to the Definitive Edition engine should be doable)
- The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
- Final Fantasy VI
- Final Fantasy VIII
- Assassin's Creed 1
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
but please don't completely change the visual style! just clean them up for modern resolution screens
very niche but Skies of Arcadia! I miss my pirate RPG with airship battling featuring main characters that may or may not develop a harem at the end.
Maybe this is moot since they would just do the usual Square Enix “remaster” (read: poorly upscaled and very basic QoL improvements)
I want some love for Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. Even if they just made it 2.5 HD similar to Octopath Traveller, Diofield Chronicle, etc
Early BioWare stuff. Specifically KOTOR (don't know what's going on with that remake, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere right now), KOTOR II (yes, I know it's Obsidian, but still), and Jade Empire. Probably Dragon Age: Origins as well.
Since they're already doing it, it's probably a useless mention, but Splinter Cell needed it, especially for PC.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the Kyle Katarn Jedi games could probably do with a touch-up as well. But they're "not canon", so that's not happening.
Maybe also the original Deus Ex and/or Thief.
I expect System Shock 2 might get one in a few years, although it isn't as desperately needed as the original was.
There are a bunch of old Sega IPs I'd love to see get a modern treatment. Alex Kidd. Space Harrier. Shinobi. Wonder Boy in Monster Land got the proper treatment a few years back with a gorgeous remake and a pseudo-sequel.
Mario Kart: Double Dash
.hack IMOQ. We got the gu remasters, now that’s all we need.
Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me
No One Lives Forever 1 and 2.
Future Cop: LAPD
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Bloodborne. Or just a 60+ FPS patch...and a PC version.
No One Lives Forever games would be ripe for a remaster.
Suikoden 3 for sure.
The game that shall not be named: Postal3 shudders
LA Noire
No one lives forever. Unfortunately no one seems to know who owns the rights anymore.
I really enjoyed Sim Earth as a kid. Just give me an entire planet operating on a geological scale as a sort of "virtual terrarium", and I'll be happy.
Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen's Odyssey
Man, I love that game, but it has some things I'd love to see improved by a remaster.
Vagrant Story
More a remake from the bottom up than just a remaster, but 1st person 3d Fallout and Fallout 2.
It's probably impossible due to rights issues and the like and would definitely piss off purists, but it would introduce a new generation to the origin of the series, the game that us olds first fell in love with.
It would also give us the opportunity to experience them anew with increased immersion and immedience as we wait for 5 to be released some time in the middle of the 2030s if even then..
Icewind Dale 2 need a remaster / EE edition. I remember reading somewhere that the source code was lost. Same issue with HOMM3 extensions that why there is no HD edition of the full game and why GOG version is still the best.
Good old Revolt. It'll be awesome with a remake of the game with the similar feel, realistic driving characteristics and challenging gameplay that's actually fun and difficult to master. I'd love a hyper realistic version of an RC car game just like revolt was back when it launched.
Heroes III. Spent my whole time during studies playing it with friends on lectures. Would love to see the enhanced version
Jak II (and probably the others after it but I haven't gotten to them yet so can't say for sure). Not Precursor Legacy though, it's perfect and nobody can tell me otherwise
Edit: jk I forgot Precursor Legacy didn't have subtitles, it could do with those.Half Life 1 (and 2 at this point, tbh) Actually fuck it let's just re-do all the Valve Source FPS. TAKE MY MONEY
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 would be an awesome candidate for an AOE Definitive Edition style remake where the mechanics are virtually unchanged but it's given a 3D graphics overhaul with unfixed zoom levels
Tron 2.0 but it'll never happen because it's a split timeline from Tron Legacy :[
Matrix Path of Neo. I loved that game so much and the last time I tried emulating it was so bad. I was completely hyped at that recent tech demo until I realized that was all it would be.
I know I’m in a minority but DK64! I loved that game as a kid. Maybe it was because my game library was quite small growing up but I spent hours and hours during summer vacation with the DK Crew
Nokia 3310's snake
Dark Souls 1
I'll give them points for fixing the technical issues. But, IMO, slapping some textures (that breaks the original atmosphere) isn't good enough. It would've been amazing to have Demon Ruins + Lost Izalith fixed.
But to be realistic this was nothing more than a cash grab; minimal effort. Which I can't necessarily blame as that's the whole point of people doing anything. People gotta eat.
Lord of the rings; battle for middle earth
I'd love to see star wars republic commando as well as the Jedi knight series!
Im excited for that nvidia ai enhanced rtx thing! now we wont have to wait around for a remaster and can just automagically remaster it
Twisted Metal 2 for PC.
BLOODBORNE
