Heroes of might and magic 3, but I feel like it might not have the same appeal if it did happen. Happy to be proven wrong, of course ๐

MODERATORS
I'm here once again to humbly submit the suggestions of Dungeon Keeper and Black and White. That is all.
Black and White for sure. I still get nostalgic for that one.
We simply can't leave until we get some wheeeaaat!
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
Overload exists. While not a remake, it is the spiritual successor with the original development team making it.
Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).
Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).
I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.
The entire Ultima series for sure. I think those were the first CRPGs I played. I loved Ultima: Underworld I & II, but I was never able to get Ultima VII: Pagan to run properly on my computer. (And, holy fuck, that was 30 years ago.)
But also The Elder Scrolls: Arena, TES: Daggerfall, TES: Battlespire, TES: Redguard, and TES: Morrowind. The first two TES games would be challenging to make, given that many of the areas were randomly generated, rather than being designed.
I wouldn't say no to another Echo Night.
Deus Ex. When I first played it I was amazed by the graphics and I specifically remember being impressed that your character was reflected in mirrors. I've been replaying it recently and the graphics are obviously very dated, but it also doesn't run smoothly on modern hardware. My PC gets louder and louder as I play it and eventually the game starts to stutter and I have to restart it.
Tribes
pretend whatever game in question you're thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.
Crash Team Racing. :(
My wishlist is Final Fantasy Tactics, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and Xenogears. A Xenogears remake likely isn't ever happening so I'd be happy with a remaster, and it's practically an open secret at this point that an FFT project is in development. It getting the Tactics Ogre Reborn treatment would be lovely, but what I really want is an orchestrated soundtrack. Here's hoping it doesn't get cancelled. ๐ค
As a genre, 4X is still kicking around, but I'm not even sure if SMAC is beloved enough to get the treatment. Good voice acting would be essential.
I hadn't heard about Tactics in the works. Would be keen on that!
SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.
I was coming here to reply SSX 3 :)
Cyberbowl but add a repair garage and transformers movie level mechanicals, when the football explodes its mayhem.
The Sly Cooper Trilogy +/- Thieves in Time
Horace Goes Skiing
Mercenaries 1 playground of destruction
Just cause graphics could be something nice
The adventures of buckaroo banzai.
That movie suffered from poor execution but it is a cult classic and could possibly reach a new generation if it were done correctly.
Obligatory Bloodborne mention.
Not sure if it's been done already, but Zelda LttP would be cool. I haven't played Echoes of Wisdom though I like the art style and could see it working well.
Goldeneye + Perfect Dark.
Zelda LttP
That'd be awesome! I'd pirate the shit out of a remake.
How about a dark gritty reboot of LttP?
That sounds awesome. I'm imagining it in the style of Dark Souls, but a reskin would be fun.
Iโm thinking like the dead space remake. Extra gory!
Just give me a proper Xenogears remake with all the cut content from the second disc and I'll die happy.
I'd be happy with a simple remaster with a cleaned-up script. Disc 2 wasn't as bad as I'd remembered on a replay I had earlier this year.
Absolutely
Toxic crusaders! A sidescroller based on the toxic avenger movie.
Honestly, looking at how modern game development studios handle remakes, I wouldn't want them anywhere near any of my beloved games. I haven't played a single remake in the last 20 years where I felt like the studio that made it knocked it out of the park.
Also, I strongly believe good games should not be remade, and only remastered/ "deluxe remastered" (where even if the game is remade, its a 1:1 faithful recreation with additional features and gameplay mechanics being optional). Remake the games that weren't great, give them another chance at big success.
- Sonic 2006
- the XenoSaga games (don't @ me XS fans, you know the combat and boss design in those games were terrible, 1 had DOMO Carrier, Tiamat, and whatever was going on in Song of Nephilim)
- Most Konami games in the late 90s - mid 2010s
- LAPD Future Cop
- etc
Future Cop L.A.P.D
I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.
I LOVED that game as a kid. One of the few games where I enjoyed both vs and coop campaign stuff
Mine is Gothic and Soul Reaver - getting both so I'm a happy camper
Having seen the trailer for Gothic, it looks good. I really hope that it's actually good.
X3: Terran Conflict.
Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).
It's a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day โ as "enjoyable" as it can be, that janky piece o' junk โ but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. ~~(if you say "X4" I'm going to fucking flip)~~
Oh shit. I didn't even know about X3FL.
Gonna have to reinstall X3 now.
I got X4 because hella X3 fans said it was better than X3; but those people are fucking crazy. X4 sucks major by comparison.
Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.
Definitely remasters though, no remakes.
Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I've heard barely anyone talk about :)
It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)
Guiltily I'd also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)
The rest of the Legacy of Kain games
I'm not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I'm a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.
I would love to see Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes again and have a similar service on Switch for GameCube games.
I really wouldn't mind a remake of Left 4 Dead 2 with better netcode and more official maps.
