I wish that there were a reboot or remake of Total Overdose. It was a fun GTA-like game

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.
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.
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.Blood Wake
It was an early Xbox exclusive and seems like no one else played it. If it were released today, I think they could do a lot more with it than when it was first released.
Was that the boat game?
I was a bit disappointed when Final Fantasy VII got a remake, which was mostly great gameplay with dated graphics, when Final Fantasy VIII got a remaster, which had quite poor gameplay but was graphically superior.
There’s a ton of PS1 titles that would benefit from a remake. Silent Bomber, G-Police, and Disruptor come to mind.
Robot Arena 2 (2003). I had so much fun with that game as a kid. A reboot with modern physics and graphics would be awesome.
I would love another Vigilante 8
I don’t know about rebooted but I think Overwatch 2 should be debooted and revert back to 1.
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
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.
Legend of Dragoon. One of my favorite turn based RPGs.
I would like remakes of some 90s PC games whose various design quirks make them hard to get into these days.
Two RPGs from that era stand out to me: Dark Sun: Shattered Lands and Ultima VII. Both have world-building and immersive sim elements that still feel very modern, but have dated graphics and bad interfaces (and, for Ultima VII, a truly terrible battle system).
Ultima 7 was the first game I could build a house from logs in the pre-existing world, before Ultima Online and Minecraft. I had lots of fun exploring their hand-crafted world. Did my best not to steal from people :)
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.
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.
Crackdown 2
Max Payne Although I wouldn’t be able to play it since I use crap PCs exclusively
