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.
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.
Simpsons hit and run please!
There’s a dude remaking the whole dang thing in Unreal 5, solo.
Jade Empire. I’d love a new one but I’d take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.
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.
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.
Another for LA Noire, favorite cop game of mine, but also Syndicate holds a special place that should be explored more.
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.
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.
Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That’s begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.
Star Citizen is the freelancer sequel, it’s just stuck in development hell
I’ve been seeding a torrent of that for quite awhile because I think at this point it’s abandonware.
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:
I think Grip might have the same feel. I never played the old ones tho.
Never played rollcage either, but Grip is pretty fun.
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.I would love to see a new Skies of Arcadia game on modern hardware!
Black & White! I’m honestly surprised it’s just been left to rot. I don’t think it’s even gotten the GOG treatment.
Yes! There isn’t a god game as good after black and white
Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi
Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn’t mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment
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.
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.
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.
