I know that remakes and remasters are contentious, but let's pretend whatever game in question you're thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.

Mine would be Shadow of Memories (called Shadow of Destiny in North America). It's legitimately one of my favourite games of all time but it kinda flew under the radar and I haven't met many people who know of it let alone played it. Seeing it get modern graphics, maybe some expanded mechanics, would be soooo cool.

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

No One Lives Forever and NOLF2 get my vote. I enjoyed them a great deal back in the day and would love to have another bash at them now, albeit with a lick of paint.

Warcraft 2, but I want Laurian studios to do it.

Activision is not trustworthy after the massive warcraft 3 disappointment.

I’d like a Final Fantasy 7 remake.

Yes, a remake, not a pseudo-sequel lore platform action combat game with all the cutscenes slowed down to 0.02x pace of the original.

Honestly I wouldn’t even mind keeping visuals more basic for standard gameplay just so the rest can be updated.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Not only is it fantastic, it would benefit greatly from a remake due to how the code is held together by tape and dreams of a better future

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Rad Warrior or Wizball.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Biing, i know many see it as an adult game only but it was genuinely difficult to survive the first day financially in that one and also it had a lot of decent jokes.

There was a game on the 3ds called Fantasy Life that was really really cool it was like a mix of RPG/action-ish with a mini game section where you would do various crafting stuff I'd love to see that on PC with better graphics and whatnot.

I got that but never got around to playing it. I got kinda Rune Factory vibes from it, is that accurate? I really should give it a try.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

Sort of like rune factory, but it's been well over a decade since I played it so I honestly don't remember it well enough to properly compare. It was also multiplayer so that was cool if you have a friend to play with

I will never stop wanting a remake of Eternal Darkness. All the other horror games got decent remakes/updates but where's the love for Eternal Darkness?

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

That would be a great candidate!

[–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Blazing Angels. Amazing flight simulator fighting game that I still have the discs of for either XBox or XBox 360.

The game is still listed on Steam, but you can't buy it. I absolutely loved that game growing up, making your way through the ranks, taking part in some of the biggest air battles of WWII.

Die Hard Trilogy

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Kind of like with movies. I want to see games/movies/etc with great stories/plots that were terribly executed. Do good games deserve a refresh, sure. But come on, do something original and stop riding the nostalgia wave.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

None. Due to them fucking it up. I don't want to see the games I like to be butchered.

[–] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I am not too fussed about remakes. There are so many games to play, I don't have enough time.

But, one game I would instantly get, Panzer Dragoon Saga. What an absolutely legendary game, that hardly anyone had the chance to play. Cleaning that up and releasing it on modern platforms would be amazing.
