The entire Legacy of Kain series. Wish they would have finished the series :(
keep the original voices though!
The voice acting in those games were top-notch and I don't want to risk ruining that
Yes! The voice acting in this series was so damn good.
Great pick, I keep meaning to check them but they sure can look daunting these days
I'm trying to replay the series right now on my Steam Deck. Started with Soule Reaver, but the controls are pretty jarring coming from modern control schemes. Soul Reaver 2 was always my favorite though, the story and setting of that game is a masterpiece
The PC ports are very rough. May have better luck with an emulated version.
That's what I ended up doing. I'm playing it through emudeck. The camera is still awful though, so I doubt that I will finish the game. I'll most likely jump to Soul Reaver 2.
I thought Defiance wrapped it up, no? It's been a long time since I played it but all I remember was a convoluted time travel story
No, it wrapped up the story of Raziel (kind of), but it ended with Raziel sacrificing himself to cleanse Kain so he could avoid having to die to heal Nosgoth. There was supposed to be a sequel that would see Kain go on purifying the pillars, but too late for that now.
Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas could use a 64-bit version. Even if they change absolutely nothing else about those games, that alone would be a major improvement, as they are very prone to crashing from running out of address space, especially if you have graphics mods installed.
Eternal darkness for the GameCube could be so good with a proper remaster.
The original Quake but the asthetic needs to be identical and NIN should actually do the soundtrack.
Deus Ex would be great, it was so ahead of its time.
Bully and KOTOR II
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Red dead redemption 1
Honestly read dead redemption holds up so well.
Yeah but i dont want to buy a 10 year old system to play it
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
Maybe this is moot since they just the usual Square Enix “remaster” (read: poorly upscaled and very basic QoL improvements)
I want some love for Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. Even if they just made it 2.5 HD similar to Octopath Traveller, Diofield Chronicle, etc
For most of them a proper remake rather than a remaster but I'll take what I can get
Played Assassin's Creed 1 recently and it's so clunky. A remaster would need some new controls or something to be viable today, but a remake would be better.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
We're actually getting a Star Ocean 2 remaster in November, so I can cross that off the list.
Love seeing PE and LoD on here, both incredible games. I would also love to see Xenogears get a remaster that actually fleshes out a lot of the stuff left on the cutting room floor. I know we got Xenosaga - another one that would be great to have on modern hardware - and Xenoblade Chronicles but I truly miss that PS1 era of RPGs sticking with the turn-based model while trying to find ways to be unique.
There are a bunch of old Sega IPs I'd love to see get a modern treatment. Alex Kidd. Space Harrier. Shinobi. Wonder Boy in Monster Land got the proper treatment a few years back with a gorgeous remake and a pseudo-sequel.
I'd love to see star wars republic commando as well as the Jedi knight series!
Jet Force Gemini
very niche but Skies of Arcadia! I miss my pirate RPG with airship battling featuring main characters that may or may not develop a harem at the end.
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.
Bioware just announced layoffs.
God forbid any exec there have literally any brains or sight above 3 months. I'm so goddamn frustrated with the shell corporation formally known as Bioware. Yes, your quarterly revenue is in the toilet, you invest money to make a killer game and make profit when you release. Games take time, stop fucking laying off people and trying to squeeze it for every dollar and just make a good goddamn game.
They have massive IPs like KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age that literally everyone is chomping at the bit for. They could have staff working on all three with a new game coming out every two years with DLCs in between, but they're afraid to invest in it.
They could have the next RDR2 or Witcher - if they actually invested in it. They could be the name for RPGs again, but they're too afraid about not being able to afford their next BMW.
They could be the name for RPGs again
Unpopular opinion: They never were. And neither was Bethesda. Black Isle/Obsidian are the true masters of RPGs. There was a period of time when they would take other studios' engines and IPs and produce sequels/spin-offs that vastly surpassed the original in terms of writing and world design. Bioware made Baldur's Gate, Black Isle made Planescape: Torment. Bioware made Neverwinter Nights, Obsidian made NWN2. Bioware made KotOR, Obsidian made KotOR2. Bethesda made Fallout 3, Obsidian made Fallout: New Vegas. If anything, it's Black Isle/Obsidian games that deserve to be remastered.
Ugh, how disappointing. :( As one of the many, many many people waiting for DA: Dreadwolf to maybe, hopefully, someday come out... this is bad news.
Edit: Maybe it'll be fine! I am just not holding my breath.
I'm disheartened by dreadwolf. Talk about a game with 10+ years of hype building, the fanbase is incredibly loyal, most gamers know the franchise well enough to pick it up at launch, all it needs is stable investment from a studio. It was announced now 5 years ago, and we've had.... 1 behind the scenes video and another 30 second trailer but plenty of news of team issues and money issues.
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.
black and white 2 needs a modern remake.
Old MGS, Max Payne
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.
I would love Max Payne 1 & 2. I googled it for fun and found this: https://investors.remedygames.com/announcements/remedy-entertainment-enters-agreement-with-rockstar-games-for-new-max-payne-12-project/
I won't hold my breath, but I'll be happy if it happens.
Vagrant Story
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.
LA Noire
Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me
.hack IMOQ. We got the gu remasters, now that’s all we need.
