You can't mess with perfection. Chrono Trigger is still amazing.
Knights of the Old Republic 2
Supposedly they are still working on a reboot of the first one. But that one is fine. They were never allowed to finish the second one.
Another for LA Noire, favorite cop game of mine, but also Syndicate holds a special place that should be explored more.
Command and Conquer and it's counterpart Red Alert. But with the love of RA2.
I'd much prefer a sequel, but a reboot to L.A. Noire would be just as welcome. Not only would the graphics be top-notch considering what we've seen lately with the Mafia remake set around the same time period, but I feel like Rockstar would be able to learn from some of the more glaring mistakes and improve heavily.
Notably, the whole interrogation mechanic has some glaring flaws with what the interrogation options are called, and in how it chooses to tell you whether you got an answer right.
Command and conquer series. They're the best RTS games honestly.
Simpsons hit and run please!
Call me a cynic but I'd be afraid any rebooted favorite game of mine would be little more than a nostalgia cash grab in the current gaming economy and probably sour my memory of the original.
I would love to see a new Skies of Arcadia game on modern hardware!
WipEout.
Only BallisticNG has recaptured the same level of AG racing magic for me, by literally copying WipEout's physics.
But it doesn't have the graphical polish of the newer games... RIP Studio Liverpool D:
Legacy of Kain / Soul Reaver series for sure. I would pay absurd amounts of money to play through these again.
I'd love to see remakes of the original Phantasy Star series. I enjoy PSO, but it's just not the same.
Black & White! I'm honestly surprised it's just been left to rot. I don't think it's even gotten the GOG treatment.
Bloodborne
Master of Orion 2 ! Though I doubt many here remember it.
I'm actually against the idea of a reboot / remake for most of the games listed here. They're already good games, a modern update would only serve render them obsolete in the minds of many and reduce the lasting cultural impact of the original titles. Re releases of the original versions, sure, but full on reboots / remakes, absolutely not.
I believe that, like film, game remakes should be reserved for titles that had potential they never lived up to, or where a developer has a fresh interpretation of a title that doesn't supplant the original, such as the case with Final Fantasy VII.
To that end, some games I personally would like to see remade or rebooted are Whiplash, Jurassic Park Trespasser, Sonic 06, Enter The Matrix, and Nightmare Creatures.
Jade Empire. I'd love a new one but I'd take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.
Dragon Age Origins. It’s getting long in the tooth and harder and harder to play on PC, plus you can’t play it on any of the last two PS consoles.
I'd love a Dragon Age legendary edition similar to what Bioware did with Mass Effect.
Biggest problem is that they used a different engine for all 3 Dragon Age games so it would need a lot more work. Maybe someday.
There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.
Nothing has ever quite scratched that Ascendancy itch. It really was a great game, even taking off the nostalgia-glasses. A proper remake or spiritual successor would be thrilling!
It's still a ton of fun to play, and it's really low stress for a 4x game. Plenty of time to plan and strategize. They had re-released the original as an iphone game about a decade ago, but it wasn't the same.
For sports, Madden has been needing a reboot for the better part of 15 years. Game is filled to the brim with bugs and every year it's worse.
I would like to see Tenchu reboot with today's tech. I loved those games on the PS1.
GALARIANS - Old PS1 psychic survivor horror game.
PSYOPS: The Mindgate Conspiracy - PS2 shooter with psychic powers.
Zelda 2. Or a spiritual successor might be even better. The hybrid top-down/side-scrolling perspectives is key to the feel of the game imo.
Day of Infamy ... it's my all time fav.
Time splitters would be perfect. Also, Duke Number healing with today's social climate would be really fun
Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi
Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn't mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment
Oh man Ape Escape. I remember needing to buy a controller with joysticks specifically for it since the default controllers didn't have them.
It's crazy how gaming has evolved.
A lot of classic PS1 era games would be great to see remastered, the control schemes can be odd on some, and for many the graphics did not age as gracefully as the more stylized games.
My god Ape Escape was so hard! I saw a speed run a while back (GDQ maybe?) and it was so cathartic to see someone master the game in a way child me never could.
Parasite Eve
Anything from Legacy of Kain, but preferably Soul Reaver
Hell yes
I'd like a remake of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri with the option to not go into all the psychic stuff, just building on a new planet having to take into account rainfall for farming and such.
General Chaos
Twisted Metal
NBA Jam: Tournament Edition
I don't know about rebooted but I think Overwatch 2 should be _de_booted and revert back to 1.
I was a bit disappointed when Final Fantasy VII got a remake, which was mostly great gameplay with dated graphics, when Final Fantasy VIII got a remaster, which had quite poor gameplay but was graphically superior.
There's a ton of PS1 titles that would benefit from a remake. Silent Bomber, G-Police, and Disruptor come to mind.
After finishing RDR2, i really want to play RDR1 but its not available on pc :'c
Blood Wake
It was an early Xbox exclusive and seems like no one else played it. If it were released today, I think they could do a lot more with it than when it was first released.
Was that the boat game?
It's not a super well known game, but I'd kill for a remake of Creatures 2. Even a more stable version of the original would make me happy
Love the Creatures games, with Creatures 2 being my personal favorite of the 3-4 main series ones. FWIW I had more luck with the Steam version than the GOG version as far as getting it running decently on Windows 10.
