Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
but please don't completely change the visual style! just clean them up for modern resolution screens
BLOODBORNE
Skies of Arcadia - Would love an updated version of this on the Switch, or some other system. Especially if they can bring back Pinta's Quest, using a phone app or other small device.
Darkened Skye - Though I'm probably one of the few who actually enjoyed this.
Morrowind
My heart and soul says YES but the rational part of my brain knows they would just screw it up. Morrowind is a product of a long-gone age of gaming and I can't imagine the suits would let it fly today and it wouldn't be the same without its old charms and quirks.
Im excited for that nvidia ai enhanced rtx thing! now we wont have to wait around for a remaster and can just automagically remaster it
Final Fantasy 9. It's my favourite in the series, and it's gotten lots of rereleases in its original form. But it would be nice if it got a more polished updated remaster.
Though I would be afraid of how modern Square sensibilities might change the pretty iconic character designs.
Isn't FF9 being remade with more or less the classic gameplay and look?
oh really?! I hadn't heard but that's great if so! I really hope they do keep the classic look then. :)
The main reason this world/could work is because it IS so quirky, that they couldn't fuck it all up like they have everything else progressively more since ff9 came out. Square peaked with ff7 and took a nosedive after 10, change my mind. Baseless uneducated hot take: I blame Enix. Either that, or they still haven't figured out how to actually bring fun JRPG gameplay into the 21st century without ruining it and making it generic and dull. Ff11 onwards lack intimacy, value, and quiet - they're tacky, cheap, and feel disingenuous.
So, ff9 getting a remaster, they couldn't mess up something that's the antithesis of their modern stuff so badly that that quirky game loses ALL of it's appeal.
I say all of this knowing this dissent and criticism will upset people, but I've been staying quiet on this for far too long and it has to be said.
C&C: Tiberian Sun and the Firestorm expansion. I wasn't the biggest fan of the original C&C, but picked up the remaster to show my support in the hopes that Tiberian Sun would get the treatment. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening as far as I've seen.
Yes, and Red Alert 2 as well (since it runs on the same-ish engine).
I've been hoping for this since the release of the remastered versions of the original C&C and Red Alert.
Arcanum and Divinity II (Ego Draconis, not original sin 2)
I know I’m in a minority but DK64! I loved that game as a kid. Maybe it was because my game library was quite small growing up but I spent hours and hours during summer vacation with the DK Crew
Twisted Metal 2 for PC.
I really enjoyed Sim Earth as a kid. Just give me an entire planet operating on a geological scale as a sort of "virtual terrarium", and I'll be happy.
Eternal Darkness
Chatturga Chatturga Ulyoth pargon pargon
Icewind Dale 2 need a remaster / EE edition. I remember reading somewhere that the source code was lost. Same issue with HOMM3 extensions that why there is no HD edition of the full game and why GOG version is still the best.
Nokia 3310's snake
The Legend of Dragoon for me.
Always my answer when questions like these come up. I played it before FF7 and I always considered it the better of the two
More a remake from the bottom up than just a remaster, but 1st person 3d Fallout and Fallout 2.
It's probably impossible due to rights issues and the like and would definitely piss off purists, but it would introduce a new generation to the origin of the series, the game that us olds first fell in love with.
It would also give us the opportunity to experience them anew with increased immersion and immedience as we wait for 5 to be released some time in the middle of the 2030s if even then..
I would love a New Vegas remake. I think the old games would be too hard to reimagine in 3D, but New Vegas already has that covered and has the same feeling as the old style of Fallout. And it deserves a proper remake as too much of the original vision got diminished by technical limitations (the strip being in 3 parts instead of one huge strip), short development schedule (Legion and House being somewhat underdeveloped) or both (Ulysses was originally supposed to be the legion aligned companion but he was too big to fit on the disk and they didn't have time to reduce his size, so he got cut from the base game). There's probably a lot of untapped potential in New Vegas to feel fresh while still feeling like New Vegas.
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 :[
Wasn't there a major community-made, valve sanctioned half life remake that just came out?
Edit: it's called Black Mesa
Yeah, Black Mesa. It's very well done.
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
