I know that remakes and remasters are contentious, but let's pretend whatever game in question you're thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.

Mine would be Shadow of Memories (called Shadow of Destiny in North America). It's legitimately one of my favourite games of all time but it kinda flew under the radar and I haven't met many people who know of it let alone played it. Seeing it get modern graphics, maybe some expanded mechanics, would be soooo cool.

The Sly Cooper Trilogy +/- Thieves in Time

Solid pick.

Heroes of might and magic 3, but I feel like it might not have the same appeal if it did happen. Happy to be proven wrong, of course 🙂

I really wouldn't mind a remake of Left 4 Dead 2 with better netcode and more official maps.

X3: Terran Conflict.

Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).

It's a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as "enjoyable" as it can be, that janky piece o' junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. ~~(if you say "X4" I'm going to fucking flip)~~

Oh shit. I didn't even know about X3FL.

Gonna have to reinstall X3 now.

I got X4 because hella X3 fans said it was better than X3; but those people are fucking crazy. X4 sucks major by comparison.

I'm not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I'm a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.

I would love to see Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes again and have a similar service on Switch for GameCube games.

Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).

Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).

I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.

The adventures of buckaroo banzai.

That movie suffered from poor execution but it is a cult classic and could possibly reach a new generation if it were done correctly.

I wouldn't say no to another Echo Night.

[-] Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.

Definitely remasters though, no remakes.

Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I've heard barely anyone talk about :)

It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)

Guiltily I'd also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)
