What are some games you'd like to see remastered/re-released or remade, and why?

Here's a list of some of mine, if anyone cares:

all the games I like already have been rereleased or remade. all the pokemon rpgs (recently red blue and yellow have been rereleased), and I want to say most or at least a good chunk of the mario games have been released on virtual console for wii, 3ds, and wii u.

I only play mario or pokemon games mostly so this makes me content.

Being an FE fanboy, I'd love Genealogy of the Holy War to be remade. Seeing that game in current gen graphics with added dialogue and supports would be sweet.

I'd be cool with some Grandia/Xenosaga HD remasters as well.

I'd like to see Metal Gear 1 and 2 remade but that's not going to happen now or at least how I would like to see them remade with Kojima gone from Konami and how Konami is these days but in a perfect world I'd like to see those two remade. Metal Gear 1 especially doesn't hold up very well so I think a proper remake would be fitting, dive alot more into the relationship of Big Boss, Gray Fox and Solid Snake

Heavenly blade comes to mind. One of the most underrated games ever. For a long time it was one of the few things that made owning a ps3 worth it.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

Syphon filter series. HD long-range Tazer!

The original Syphon Filter trilogy comes to mind. Gabe and Xian tazing people to flames in HD. That would be glorious. Not to mention, it's a legitimately amazing franchise that too many people overlook because of games like Metal Gear Solid hogging the spotlight.

Final Fantasy 8 & 9. Well, we're getting 7 soon, so why not 8 and 9? 7 has gotten so much attention from Square, but these two installments rarely get any. If they do (in the one-off chance) remake it, I do hope that they revamp the Junction system to make it less broken and the Trance system to make it less pointless.

Crash Team Racing. By far my favorite driving game ever.... and while I'm on that, Burnout. Not open-world Paradise, but more Dominator with crash mode.

Harvest Moon - Back to Nature. Just kick back, relax and enjoy. Easily one of the most addicting games I've ever played.

I really want to see a remaster of Final Fantasy XII. I feel like I'm the only one, but what are you gonna do? They already released one of my favorite games, Dark Cloud 2, on PS4, so I can't ask for much more than that.

They recently released an HD version of FF9 on Steam. I feel like they're less likely to remake 9 since it still holds up graphically and gameplay-wise, but seeing an updated version of FF8 would be nice.

Final Fantasy IX already sort of has a remastered version.

Anyways, I'd like to see HD Remasters of Final Fantasy XII, the .hack// quadrilogy and GU trilogy, the Xenosaga series, Ape Escape 1-3, and pretty much every PS2 SMT game.

Max Payne 3. I'd like them to fix the broken V-sync, improve movement (like the crouch), replace the pre-rendered low res cutscenes with in-game cutscenes and make skipping all of them possible. Ideally, all these changes would come with an update, but I know a publisher like RS isn't gonna put the effort in if they can't resell it.

Really, I just want another gritty third-person action game in the style of Hard Boiled, The Killer and Max Payne.

I also want all my favorite console games on PC, but a lot of them are owned by Sony and Nintendo, who would never let them go. Others I've played many times and am already long tired of.

I don't really know. I'm not the biggest fan of remakes/remasters, but if said remake/remaster includes something aside from refurbished visuals, I'll happily oblige.

I think Final Fantasy VI would make for an awesome remake, though. With voice acting and smooth 3D animation and all that.

Oh yeah, and Unreal. That'd make my whole year.

I'm lazy so will copy/paste my post from a similar thread on another forum:

Midwinter 1 & 2 (I guess throw in Ashes of Empire, as well). Very ambitious games I would love to see redone without the technological constraints.

The Microprose trio of Sword of the Samurai, Covert Action, and Darklands. Great games with great concepts I'm surprised haven't been remade yet.

And the Ultima series, in general (or at least 8 & 9 since they weren't very good). Something like Ultima V: Lazarus, without the crap engine and a professional studio and budget behind it.. Loads of potential there.

These would be full-blown remakes as most of them are over twenty years old now.

A Midwinter remake is currently being worked on, though progress has been minimal since being announced over two years ago.

I find remasters for recent games a bit unnecessary, for the most part.

I'd like to retroactively erase Max Payne 3 from history since story wise it should've just ended with Max Payne 2 so there didn't need to be a third game in the first place. You can play Stranglehold if you want a game like Hard Boiled (if you haven't played it already)

These so much. Especially KOTOR. Those games were so good and had so much potential. In fact I think it's time I gave them another run through. That fight with Darth Nihilus still sticks in my mind, it was a great scene, he should have been so much stronger though.
I'll also throw in TES I and II, I'd love to play them on a more modern engine.

I'd love to see Red Dead Redemption remastered. Don't think it really needs it, but it would be nice to see what it would look like now with shiny new graphics. Or you know, they should maybe release Red Dead 2 mahaha.

I'd very much like to see Xenogears get polished up. Maybe give the final third of the story a rewrite. Definitely scrap the Gear combat mechanics and just make it more in line with the Character combat mechanics. But keep the soundtrack as-is--that shit is flawless.

Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.

Yeah, there didn't need to be a third Max Payne after how 2 ended. That's why I liked that 3 went in a different direction and had its own identity while still staying true to much of what makes Max Payne Max Payne. MP3 is my favorite game in the series and I hope Rockstar makes another game like it. I played MP2 thrice, MP once and MP3 at least eleven times. I see fans trash the game all the time and it's kind of tiring. Frankly, I found the original unimpressive.

Stranglehold looks like a cheap movie game.

I would've liked Max Payne 3 better if they just called it something other than Max Payne or if Rockstar just rebooted it. Doesn't help 3's case when Max Payne himself isn't an important part to the plot of his own game. Say what you will about the first one, it's at least about him

I'd like a Max Payne 3 remake too that allows you to skip all cutscenes, removed QTEs, allowed for jumping and actual melee.

I remember two QTEs in the entire game, both easy. I don't see what jumping and melee would add to the game. He already melees automatically at close range, which is fine, considering the kind of shooter it is.

I'd rather have the option to melee when I want to and the ability to have melee weapons. Also, I would like to carry all my weapons at once again and I want explosives back in singleplayer.

I'd hate both of those changes.

The carry system is fine. It's efficient and realistic, matching the gritty tone of the game. It's part of the difficulty. I would rather pick up and discard guns in the heat of combat, as I would in real life if they were lying everywhere and I didn't carry a hundred magazines, than collect and keep them all. What would be the point? The game doesn't have an upgrade system.

Melee was never a big part of Max Payne or the John Woo movies that it was partially inspired by. Carrying a melee weapon when you could carry another gun (that can be used to melee) instead is a waste. Don't bring a sword to a gunfight.

Witcher 1, it had great story from what I've heard, but it looks awfully now, especially compared to W2 and even worse compared to W3...

I'd also love to see some older visual novels with new graphics. Man, Kanon or ONE with new art done by Itaru Hinoue... How amazing would that be! Old CG are super nostalgic, sure, but having two versions wouldn't hurt.

Yeah 2007 in general was an awkward year for gaming. I like to to think of it as the growing pains year of gaming. 2006 was when people wear still using PS2/GC/Xbox but by the time 2007 came around, you pretty much had to jump on to the new systems. Gaming had finally made it to high school but it hadn't reached it's full potential with games like Mass Effect, Uncharted: Darke's Fortune, The Witcher, and so on with Bioshock being the one that's hold up the best so yeah a remake of The Witcher wouldn't be a bad thing I don't think

2007 was a massively transitional year for gaming and "geek culture" in general. There were so many things that led to the elements of "geek culture" starting to become more popular (not saying this is necessarily a bad thing).

I mean in gaming, we had the Wii at the end of 2006 that started selling like hotcakes in 2007, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, that changed public perception of the first person shooter genre forever pretty much.

On-topic:
I can't really think of any games I would like to see remade. I would rather developers make new IPs again with new, fresh ideas instead of cashing in on nostalgia.

None of the games I really like nowadays feel like they are in need of a remake anyway. 2D and arena shooters feel rather timeless in a way few other games manage.
