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.
The old GameCube game, Eternal Darkness
Black and white as VR
I would love to see F.E.A.R. with updated graphics. Preferably just a remaster, but if it was remade in the same spirit as the Dead Space remake was, I’d be down for that too, especially if they brought back Fettel’s voice actor.
No one lives forever 1 & 2.
Well, a few months ago I would have said Soul Reaver, but we’re finally getting that!
So I guess I’ll say Siphon Filter. I remember having a lot of fun with that back in the day.
I don’t think I ever got anywhere in that game, I just spent the whole weekend rental tazing poor unfortunate bros…
My old MUD
Aardwolf by chance? That was my jam daily for a couple years.
No but I’m sure i had logged into that one to find it a try. I remember thst name
Mine was called riftsmud
None. After the vivisection that was the GTA remaster, stay the fuck away from older games. Please and thank you.
I had the same thought initially, and unfortunately it wasn’t just GTA. However, IMHO Diablo II Resurrected was an amazing exception, and I’m sure there are others. Plus, the OP’s question was probably about an ideal case and they wanted to know what people have been missing from the past.
Realistically, I wouldn’t expect a decent comeback of Guitar Hero 3 for example, but it sucks that it doesn’t really work on Win10/11 anymore, and while Clone Hero exists, it doesn’t have the same “story” mode as GH3 had, with characters, milestones and such. Hell, you can’t even get “booed out”.
Too bad that as you mentioned, even if there was demand, a random big company would just buy the rights, do some lazy upscale and sell it like it was gourmet shit.
Shadow of memories sounds nice.
I can see a good remake of terranigma
I’d like to see a return of the old racing games with hundreds of cars and performance customization
I haven’t seen a game like juiced in quite some time with money on the line for each race
NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.
Thats 3 promises broken at once.
C&C:Generals
OpenRA is nice though
Pong.
Omikron The Nomad Soul
xenogears
One can hope for a properly fleshed out disc 2.
I want a remake of the original Harry Potter 1 and 2 games from the PS1. Not asking much, anything that looks nicer than this would do
Oh whaat, hell yeah! Definitely gonna be having a look at this, thanks for sharing.
Still want that remake tho haha
How dare you, this Hagrid is beautiful
Heckin’ Mega Man Legends 1&2.
