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

    Hands down, Jak and Daxter. Those were my favorite games growing up.
    I also wish that Banjo Kazooie/Tooie would get a remaster.

    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’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.

    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’d love a Dragon Age legendary edition similar to what Bioware did with Mass Effect.
      Biggest problem is that they used a different engine for all 3 Dragon Age games so it would need a lot more work. Maybe someday.

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

    Alot of b tier games that I don’t think hit their true potential; just cause, infamous, red faction, sleeping dogs.

    Edit: also splinter cell

      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.

      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.

    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. :<
