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.

[–] bermuda@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

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.

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'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 to 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.

Black & White! I'm honestly surprised it's just been left to rot. I don't think it's even gotten the GOG treatment.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Yes! There isn't a god game as good after black and white

[–] doctorfinlay@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Simpsons hit and run please!

Jade Empire. I'd love a new one but I'd take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.

[–] GrumpyRobot@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anything from Legacy of Kain, but preferably Soul Reaver

[–] gravistar@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Legacy of Kain / Soul Reaver series for sure. I would pay absurd amounts of money to play through these again.

[–] LilBagOfBunnies@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I would love to see a new Skies of Arcadia game on modern hardware!

[–] TacoThrash3r@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chrono trigger and give it the ff7 treatment

[–] LostInSpaaaace@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

You can't mess with perfection. Chrono Trigger is still amazing.

[–] rcoelho14@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi

Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn't mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment

[–] Skray@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] sim_@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] smokinjoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

General Chaos

Twisted Metal

NBA Jam: Tournament Edition

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.

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:

It's not a super well known game, but I'd kill for a remake of Creatures 2. Even a more stable version of the original would make me happy

[–] recatek@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Love the Creatures games, with Creatures 2 being my personal favorite of the 3-4 main series ones. FWIW I had more luck with the Steam version than the GOG version as far as getting it running decently on Windows 10.

[–] Hungryhippo13@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Command and Conquer and it's counterpart Red Alert. But with the love of RA2.

[–] WallCactus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That's begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.

Medal of Honor. One of my first experiences with a single player FPS and it was just solid and immersive.

[–] Bjoern_Tantau@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Earnest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

After finishing RDR2, i really want to play RDR1 but its not available on pc :'c

[–] Jim-B396@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Parasite Eve

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Master of Orion 2 ! Though I doubt many here remember it.

[–] LostInSpaaaace@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.

[–] LordlyCalibur@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Nothing has ever quite scratched that Ascendancy itch. It really was a great game, even taking off the nostalgia-glasses. A proper remake or spiritual successor would be thrilling!

[–] HipHoboHarold@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Legend of Dragoon. One of my favorite turn based RPGs.

Zelda 2. Or a spiritual successor might be even better. The hybrid top-down/side-scrolling perspectives is key to the feel of the game imo.

[–] randombit@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I would love a modern Wing Commander series reboot. However, with Chris Robert’s raking in the cash from Star Citizen, I’m not holding my breath.

[–] DesTeufelsAvocado@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is hardly known, but I miss the action rpg "Lost Kingdom" by FromSoftware for the GameCube. You summoned creatures and monsters in battle with cards and it had a gloomy, eerie atmosphere, I remember some really scary level. I found this at a flea market when I was fifteen, so it was such a special find, great artwork and music. It had one sequel, but after that the game disappeared. :<

[–] Varyag@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

The Burnout, WipeOut and Ridge Racer series. All of those are perhaps the best arcade racers ever released on consoles, and they're all dead now. I've been playing the PS1 and PS2 games, and they all still hold up tremendously today.

Rick Dangerous - It's time

[–] dannyboy5498@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I miss the Jak games

[–] redsky@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Day of Infamy ... it's my all time fav.

[–] Stellario@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Breath of Fire but add more Bara furries.

I'd love to see remakes of the original Phantasy Star series. I enjoy PSO, but it's just not the same.

[–] daftless@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Time splitters would be perfect. Also, Duke Number healing with today's social climate would be really fun

[–] GaryPonderosa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I would love to see GTA: San Andreas updated to modern QoL standards and with renewed licensing so all of the original songs are included.

[–] Diskolikewhoa@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

GALARIANS - Old PS1 psychic survivor horror game.

PSYOPS: The Mindgate Conspiracy - PS2 shooter with psychic powers.
