I played Battle for Middle Earth for so long! Personally, I liked first one better but I don't think the game would hold up to any strategy games standards nowadays. Once you know a few tactics you are practically undefeated in both of the games.
Black & White
It's a shame this game & it's sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.
Thank god for abandonware websites
Simpsons hit and run
TES: Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas, RDR 1
EDIT: Guys, OP is talking about proper remaster. I'd actually like a current gen remakes.
Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2.
If EA would release them as just full faithful remasters, with no P2W or microtransactions I will break my word that I will never support that piece of shit company again and pay full retail on release day.
SPORE and Black and White 2!! We need to bring back God games
Any of Peter Molyneux games would make good remake targets, but you would want to remake the game he hyped, not the game he delivered. I would love to see a development team, with all the new game libraries and faster hardware try to deliver on some of his unfulfilled promises.
Can you imagine spore as a modern day title? It'd either be a "free" to play MMORPG full of micro-transactions or it'd have each stage be a different dlc (that of course you can get a season pass for!) and all but the most basic cosmetics be dlc
And let's not forget always online with no offline play
Metal Gear Solid. So many hours a buddy and I put into that sucker. I would love to see it have modern graphics.
A game remade only because it's old will age again. A game remade because it missed its potential the first time is a big improvement.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
Morrowind. Rpg that doesn't hold your hand through quest, well written plot and sidequests and a superb fantastic setting that is not all medieval Europe. Ashland, siltstriders, giant mushroom mage tower that can only be accessed by super jump or flying. And thosefucking annoying cliff 'bird thing.
Minecraft, lol. Written in Rust instead of Java, extensible, open source.
Like what Minetest and Mineclone currently do. Dont know what languages they use.
Stunts / 4D Sports Driving
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunts_(video_game)
Update the graphics but keep all the physics the same.
Deus Ex
GTA3 + Vice City + San Andreas (properly being the key word)
Morrowind
KOTOR 1 + 2
Battlezone II: Combat Commander
Red Faction series
GTA San Andreaa
Commander Keen
Though not really (too) old but:
GOTHIC.
But only if it'd be a worthy remake.
I'd truly love a VR Sims game. It'd be so ridiculous to walk into somebody's dinner party and begin turning their kitchen upside down.
That, and they'd be spouting their nonsense sim language while I light a furniture bonfire. Want!!
Age of Empires 2
They actually did a remaster on it, and they did it good.
Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and that one fan-made sequel, Chrono Trigger Crimson Echoes.
Sega Saturn had a title called Fighters Megamix that (in my opinion) was the first to bring franchise characters together for a battle royal.
Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Sonic, Daytona, Virtua Cop and more all rules it out in wrestling rings and it was amazing. Would love a remake.
Parasite Eve
Judging by the lack of mentions for
total annihilation
I worry people just don't know how awesome this game was. Ya tear your gaze away from StarCraft and realize you never need to look back.
Golden Sun. Wouldn't even need remaster, just release it again.
Zelda the Minishcap, could work in that Links Awakening style.
Empire Earth with modern graphics, instant win.
Zelda Phantom Hourglass for Switch would be cute too.
A friend and I were talking today that weβd spend full price for a Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War Soulstorm remaster/remake. It was a great game that still has a lot of potential both for gamers and for the company developing it. They could even call it something cool like the Imperium Edition or something!
Iβve also always said that they could approach it in a similar way to how Total War: Warhammer develops DLC for their factions. Quick question for WH:40K fans: if they offered a dlc for your specific Space Marine chapter or Ork Warband or DIRTY HERETIC, would you buy it? I know I would buy a Space Wolves chapter DLC that enabled their unique mechanics and units. Itβs an untapped goldmine in my opinion and also caters to people who want to play the game with their own army units.
Star Wars: Empire at War
Imagine what that game with stable multi-player and updated graphics could do with mods, especially after seeing stuff like Thrawn's Revenge
No one lives forever. Though the originals are still very much playable, only the graphics are outdated.
