Fuck yeah, Metal Gear Solid! I feel like remasters and PC ports are a no brainer. Konami has the engine Kojima did for MGS5, which I assume is what they are using to re-make 3.

No One Lives Forever 1 and 2.
I'd love to see star wars republic commando as well as the Jedi knight series!
Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen's Odyssey
Man, I love that game, but it has some things I'd love to see improved by a remaster.
Eternal Darkness
Chatturga Chatturga Ulyoth pargon pargon
Vagrant Story
Good old Revolt. It'll be awesome with a remake of the game with the similar feel, realistic driving characteristics and challenging gameplay that's actually fun and difficult to master. I'd love a hyper realistic version of an RC car game just like revolt was back when it launched.
Early BioWare stuff. Specifically KOTOR (don't know what's going on with that remake, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere right now), KOTOR II (yes, I know it's Obsidian, but still), and Jade Empire. Probably Dragon Age: Origins as well.
Since they're already doing it, it's probably a useless mention, but Splinter Cell needed it, especially for PC.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the Kyle Katarn Jedi games could probably do with a touch-up as well. But they're "not canon", so that's not happening.
Maybe also the original Deus Ex and/or Thief.
I expect System Shock 2 might get one in a few years, although it isn't as desperately needed as the original was.

Star wars jedi power battles. More people need to know about the second best jedi game with the worst title that ever existed.
What do you consider the best one?
Jedi Academy
Jak II (and probably the others after it but I haven't gotten to them yet so can't say for sure). Not Precursor Legacy though, it's perfect and nobody can tell me otherwise
Edit: jk I forgot Precursor Legacy didn't have subtitles, it could do with those.
Half Life 1 (and 2 at this point, tbh) Actually fuck it let's just re-do all the Valve Source FPS. TAKE MY MONEY
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 would be an awesome candidate for an AOE Definitive Edition style remake where the mechanics are virtually unchanged but it's given a 3D graphics overhaul with unfixed zoom levels
Tron 2.0 but it'll never happen because it's a split timeline from Tron Legacy :[

Duck Hunt, but make it realistic.
Whatever happened to gun games on consoles in general? Duck hunt was great when I was a kid, and later we had games like Time Crises. I miss those.
Lightguns don't work on LCD screens, so they were not feasible on most consoles once folks started swapping out their CRTs.
Wii had a handful of light gun like games (that used the sensor bar of course) with the Wii Zapper, but other than that games of this type have needed more niche peripherals (Kinect, PS camera, now VR) that have made them more niche.
Lightguns don't but newer technology does. Guns these days just use cameras and they work fine. There's no technical limitations here.
But I do appreciate your comment because that was an actual thing for a while, so completely relevant.
Right, but "just use cameras" is what I mean by "niche peripherals."
Other than the Wii, no modern consoles have had an installed user base for Move/Kinect/Camera type stuff to make it worth it for many developers to get involved. And even the Wii was just mostly shovelware waggle games, though as I mentioned there were some Wii Zapper games that approximated lightguns.
I think at this point we're past the sorts of external cameras and tracking necessary for lightgun things even more than we already were. This sort of stuff has already moved to VR and I don't know that we're gonna get them back in the physical realm any time soon.
