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.

Driver san Francisco by ubisoft is the first that comes to my mind. It has an fantastic story and gameplay mechanics. The multiplayer is also fun. Midnight club 3. Just saying we need it.

American McGee's Alice

It was amazing to first play with trippy visuals, but playing it decades later, it was fairly disappointing. The sequel, Alice: Madness Returns was a let down to me as well.

My answer to this would always have been Metal Gear Solid 3. If Konami mess up the remaster (which I'm just assuming they will), then this will be my answer again.

Anachronox. This game has such a unique story and ends on a massive cliffhanger. If it wasn't for the limitations of the engine, they could've done so much better.

Still impressive they built a turn-based RPG with a load of ingame cutscenes on the Quake 2 engine.

Master of Magic. Mid 90s spinoff of civilization, but with high fantasy magic and stuff. The spiritual success I've tried have all been garbage. It would be nice to have one with modern conveniences and modding capability.

Resident Evil Outbreak. They've remade so many games and added so much PvP to the series, but Outbreak was an amazing and very fun co-op game that flopped because it used PlayStation 2 internet. I loved the game even offline and think it was way ahead of its time, and a rerelease with today's much more ubiquitous internet capabilities would be a hit, but they're obsessed with PvP game modes that I've seen very few people enjoy and most people hate. It would also give us more Raccoon City to explore, which I felt like they glossed over too much in the RE2 and 3 remakes.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

The original Tales of Symphonia was a masterpiece, and Dawn of the New World was a disaster. Weirdly, this is a sequel that would be better if it were ported back to the engine of the first game.
