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.
I’m here once again to humbly submit the suggestions of Dungeon Keeper and Black and White. That is all.
Black and White for sure. I still get nostalgic for that one.
We simply can’t leave until we get some wheeeaaat!
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
Overload exists. While not a remake, it is the spiritual successor with the original development team making it.
Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).
Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).
I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.
The entire Ultima series for sure. I think those were the first CRPGs I played. I loved Ultima: Underworld I & II, but I was never able to get Ultima VII: Pagan to run properly on my computer. (And, holy fuck, that was 30 years ago.)
But also The Elder Scrolls: Arena, TES: Daggerfall, TES: Battlespire, TES: Redguard, and TES: Morrowind. The first two TES games would be challenging to make, given that many of the areas were randomly generated, rather than being designed.
I wouldn’t say no to another Echo Night.
Deus Ex. When I first played it I was amazed by the graphics and I specifically remember being impressed that your character was reflected in mirrors. I’ve been replaying it recently and the graphics are obviously very dated, but it also doesn’t run smoothly on modern hardware. My PC gets louder and louder as I play it and eventually the game starts to stutter and I have to restart it.
Tribes

Crash Team Racing. :(
My wishlist is Final Fantasy Tactics, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, and Xenogears. A Xenogears remake likely isn’t ever happening so I’d be happy with a remaster, and it’s practically an open secret at this point that an FFT project is in development. It getting the Tactics Ogre Reborn treatment would be lovely, but what I really want is an orchestrated soundtrack. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get cancelled. 🤞
As a genre, 4X is still kicking around, but I’m not even sure if SMAC is beloved enough to get the treatment. Good voice acting would be essential.
I hadn’t heard about Tactics in the works. Would be keen on that!
Legend of dragoon and legend of dragoon but if I can’t have those, legend of dragoon…
Sorry, the best I can offer is Legend of Dragoon.
SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.
I was coming here to reply SSX 3 :)
Cyberbowl but add a repair garage and transformers movie level mechanicals, when the football explodes its mayhem.
The Sly Cooper Trilogy +/- Thieves in Time
Solid pick.
