I wish that there were a reboot or remake of Total Overdose. It was a fun GTA-like game

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Hands down, Jak and Daxter. Those were my favorite games growing up.
I also wish that Banjo Kazooie/Tooie would get a remaster.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

A Hat in Time and Yooka Kaylee scratch that Banjo itch pretty well.

Simpsons hit and run please!

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

Black & White! I'm honestly surprised it's just been left to rot. I don't think it's even gotten the GOG treatment.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes! There isn't a god game as good after black and white

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That's begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.

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:

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Another for LA Noire, favorite cop game of mine, but also Syndicate holds a special place that should be explored more.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Command and Conquer and it's counterpart Red Alert. But with the love of RA2.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Anything from Legacy of Kain, but preferably Soul Reaver

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

Chrono trigger and give it the ff7 treatment

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

You can't mess with perfection. Chrono Trigger is still amazing.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Legacy of Kain / Soul Reaver series for sure. I would pay absurd amounts of money to play through these again.

Rick Dangerous - It's time

Funny i had the Same thought when i was reading the title

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It is hardly known, but I miss the action rpg "Lost Kingdom" by FromSoftware for the GameCube. You summoned creatures and monsters in battle with cards and it had a gloomy, eerie atmosphere, I remember some really scary level. I found this at a flea market when I was fifteenth, so it was such a special find. It had one sequel, but after that the game disappeared. :<

I would love to see a new Skies of Arcadia game on modern hardware!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It would be nice to see anything for beyond good & evil, the game had such a fun vibe

Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi

Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn't mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

Legend of Dragoon. One of my favorite turn based RPGs.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The Burnout, WipeOut and Ridge Racer series. All of those are perhaps the best arcade racers ever released on consoles, and they're all dead now. I've been playing the PS1 and PS2 games, and they all still hold up tremendously today.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Still holding out for Ogre Battle 64, there's really nothing like it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I miss the Jak games

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I would love a modern Wing Commander series reboot. However, with Chris Robert’s raking in the cash from Star Citizen, I’m not holding my breath.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This question comes up often. The only thing I can think of that I would actually want to see is a well-executed, modern take on Rock n' Roll Racing.

On modern consoles or PC, the game could have tons of tracks, way more great music, and much deeper mechanics and upgrade paths.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'd love to see remakes of the original Phantasy Star series. I enjoy PSO, but it's just not the same.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Day of Infamy ... it's my all time fav.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Time splitters would be perfect. Also, Duke Number healing with today's social climate would be really fun

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

After finishing RDR2, i really want to play RDR1 but its not available on pc :'c

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Medal of Honor. One of my first experiences with a single player FPS and it was just solid and immersive.
