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

Command and conquer series. They're the best RTS games honestly.

Simpsons hit and run please!

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

[–] bermuda@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Stanos@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

Jade Empire. I'd love a new one but I'd take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.

[–] Hungryhippo13@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

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

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 to 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.

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

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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:

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.

[–] LilBagOfBunnies@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Bjoern_Tantau@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Skray@kbin.social 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.

Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi

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

[–] Skray@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Oh man Ape Escape. I remember needing to buy a controller with joysticks specifically for it since the default controllers didn't have them.
It's crazy how gaming has evolved.

A lot of classic PS1 era games would be great to see remastered, the control schemes can be odd on some, and for many the graphics did not age as gracefully as the more stylized games.

[–] sim_@beehaw.org 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.

[–] GrumpyRobot@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Anything from Legacy of Kain, but preferably Soul Reaver

[–] smokinjoe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

General Chaos

Twisted Metal

NBA Jam: Tournament Edition

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

Alot of b tier games that I don't think hit their true potential; just cause, infamous, red faction, sleeping dogs.

Edit: also splinter cell

[–] ThisIsMyNewAccount@kbin.social 2 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.

[–] HipHoboHarold@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Harlan_Cloverseed@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago
[–] master_of_unlocking@beehaw.org 2 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.

[–] hatecoach@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rick Dangerous - It's time

[–] Fuyuhikodate@diggit.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] dannyboy5498@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I miss the Jak games

[–] Pogogunner@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] randombit@lemmy.sdf.org 2 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.

[–] CosmicApe@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] LostInSpaaaace@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Earnest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Varyag@beehaw.org 1 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.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 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.

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I would love to see something done with the Condemned series. I revisit both the games every once in a while, and I always have the best time when I do.

[–] redsky@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LostInSpaaaace@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.

[–] LordlyCalibur@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Nothing has ever quite scratched that Ascendancy itch. It really was a great game, even taking off the nostalgia-glasses. A proper remake or spiritual successor would be thrilling!

[–] Skray@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I would love to see a remake/remaster of Brave Fencer Musashi from the PS1.

[–] DreamyDolphin@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'd like a remake of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri with the option to not go into all the psychic stuff, just building on a new planet having to take into account rainfall for farming and such.

[–] GaryPonderosa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I would love to see GTA: San Andreas updated to modern QoL standards and with renewed licensing so all of the original songs are included.

[–] roving6478@kbin.social 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.
