I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.

I'd personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they're older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.

I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.

Knights of the Old Republic, Battle for Middle Earth

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] TAG 14 points 1 year ago

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.

Though not really (too) old but:

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.

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.

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 we’d 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!

I’ve 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. It’s 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
