I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.
I’d personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they’re older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.
I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.
Metal Gear Solid. So many hours a buddy and I put into that sucker. I would love to see it have modern graphics.
I liked Twin Snakes but the voice changes and cutscene changes always made me feel like it was far from the remaster I really wanted.
The teaser for the remake of Snake Eater looks pretty promising.
Road Rash
Which one?
Road Redemption on Steam is this.
You have not heard of Road Redemption?

I downloaded for my iPhone and was bummed to learn that you can’t do wheelies or jump cars. Oh well

Its hard to succeed the “feeling” of Road Rash and Rock N’ Roll Racing (SNES). Try the latter if you have not, and its modern Russian fanmake Motor Rock.
No
Well, you heard of it now. And it is light on hardware.
Thank you
Thief and Thief 2
No one lives forever. Though the originals are still very much playable, only the graphics are outdated.
Such great games! Unfortunately they’re stuck in IP hell :(

Sadly that’s unlikely to ever get a remake as noone can agree who owns the rights to do so.
Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2.
If EA would release them as just full faithful remasters, with no P2W or microtransactions I will break my word that I will never support that piece of shit company again and pay full retail on release day.
I’d like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.
The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I’d just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:
I can’t for the life of me find the earlier hot pursuit ANYWHERE
Which ones? Go to old-games.ru, and also there is a NFS CorePack Anthology at archive.org. Both will cover all your bases upto Carbon.
Hot pursuit was the one that let you play as or against cops, right? I freaking loved that as a kid. I’m not much for racing games, but that’s the exception.
Yep, it was a lot of fun doing out maneuver and dropping spike strips at just the most opportune and inescapable moment. NFS3 also has split screen where players could even play on different sides locally during the dance race, or complete as both cops to catch the most races.
I had a similar notion about if they would make a NFS:U3. Have you played NFSU1 or 2 with mods yet?

Sega Saturn had a title called Fighters Megamix that (in my opinion) was the first to bring franchise characters together for a battle royal.
Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Sonic, Daytona, Virtua Cop and more all rules it out in wrestling rings and it was amazing. Would love a remake.
Fighters Megamix was the best!!! I would quite literally hand over one of my kidneys for AAA remake.
Oh yeah, and I really think it was Sega who started the whole company cast of characters fighting each other thing. Like always, it’s too bad that they never followed a great idea long enough to be the one to make money from it.
Well… SNK had released a few installments of King of Fighters by the time Fighters Megamix was released, but other than that, yeah.
Sega definitely beat Smash Brothers and other titles to the punch.
I agree. They should have stuck with their ideas for several installments. Sega has way too many one-off games that are fantastic and deserve sequels.
Oh damn, I totally forgot that KoF was a mix-up like that. I wish that I had more access to SNK hardware and fighters back in the day. Those SNES World Heroes ports just didn’t cut it.
This game was amazing
Saturn definitely had some good ones. Dreamcast, too. I wonder how a fully updated and fleshed out version of Power Stone would do nowadays.
I’d truly love a VR Sims game. It’d be so ridiculous to walk into somebody’s dinner party and begin turning their kitchen upside down.
That, and they’d be spouting their nonsense sim language while I light a furniture bonfire. Want!!
Fallout 1, in the style of Wasteland 2 & 3. With the animated talking characters similar to WL3. Include intended content for Fallout that was cut like some of the gangs, and side quests.
Rework certain skills like gambling to make it more integrated into the game; more effective at lower levels and less totally overpowered at high levels.
Revamp companions to make them more controllable. Selectable friendly fire. Ability to make companions wait in locations.
The Warriors would be a fun remaster. I loved that game and movie.
I 100% agree. The Warriors didn’t get the attention it deserved. I had a blast with it.

Have you tried Trepang2? It’s very much a spiritual successor to FEAR, and there’s a free demo for it, too.
Loved the demo for that. Was waiting for it to go on sale at some point.
F-Zero GX in HD with wide screen support would be amazing. It might even happen since F-Zero 99 seems to be pretty popular.
Beat me to it with F-Zero. What a game.
Judging by the lack of mentions for
total annihilation
I worry people just don’t know how awesome this game was. Ya tear your gaze away from StarCraft and realize you never need to look back.
There was planetary annihilation
