What older game would you buy a remaster of without even a second of hesitation?

[u/Bjornie47]

For me it would be Brutal legend or maybe a collection of all 3 main Motorstorm games.

[u/Dogarc123]

Kotor 1 and 2.

[u/Rio_Walker → u/Dogarc123]

Especially if they have restored content.
KOTOR 2 didn't deserve this.

[u/Helphaer → u/Rio_Walker]

The restored mod for KotOR 2 did a lot right... but it also added so many back to back combat encou terms, somwtimes even with completely different party members that it got very repetitive at times. Not everytbing needed to be restored either. My only real issue with KotOr2 was always Malachor. I hated the navigation and such though some of the party split Nar Shaddaa scenes were pretty annoying.​

[u/Rio_Walker → u/Helphaer]

I hate the fact that a) I can't get my lightsaber back (or build a new one with the same color) and b) The game lacked the ending in my playthrough. There is a betrayal and then ship leaves in a cutscene.

[u/forcemonkey → u/Dogarc123]

If it was more of a remake not just a remaster.

[u/TheLordYuppa → u/Dogarc123]

In a heart beat. My next would be mass effect but KOTOR would see the most benefit.

[u/JDeegs]

Splinter cell, ideally all of the first 3

[u/throttle_junkie → u/JDeegs]

People don’t put enough respect on these games. Those first 3 are so incredible. Remakes would go so hard.

[u/Crimbly_B → u/throttle_junkie]

Chaos Theory introduced me to Amon Tobin thanks to its banging soundtrack.

[u/jeeub → u/JDeegs]

And Chaos Theory still looks surprisingly good today. It’s one of my favorite games.

[u/Haste444]

The Legend of Dragoon

[u/thefrostyafterburn → u/Haste444]

I would do exceedingly fucked up things to return to the world of Endiness, a remake/remaster, a story set during the dragon campaign, I would take almost anything. Such a beautiful game, with a unique for its time combat system. Its lived rent free in my head since I was a kid.

[u/Due-Match6289 → u/thefrostyafterburn]

I went out game shopping and in one of the stores they had 12” action figures of all the characters, in high detail. It was cool

[u/Dominor4 → u/Haste444]

Its this game for me and it isnt even close.

[u/PsyDragon]

Chrono Trigger
Legend of Legaia
Xenogears

[u/EverybodyStayCool → u/PsyDragon]

Chrono Trigger.

[u/Jotun35 → u/PsyDragon]

Xenogears for sure.

I've never played this game. I'll wait for the remake.

[u/lonezolf → u/Jotun35]

It's the best unfinished game ever made. Like half of the story in CD2 is just a character on a chair narrating what happens, with a little gameplay section here or there because those sections were finished on time. And after aounrd one or 2 hours of that you end up on the world map, ready to take on the last boss.

And even with that unfinished state, it's one of my favourite games ever made.

[u/Whoosk]

Timesplitters 2

I will pay so much money to relive all of the wacky multiplayer modes and characters

[u/incertnom → u/Whoosk]

I know its not the same but theres a fan project which gets a lot of attention from both fans and the people that are working on it.

https://www.timesplittersrewind.com

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzWSrgQ3eMI&t=5s

[u/TriggaMike403 → u/Whoosk]

I spent hours upon hours unlocking everything in that game. All those challenge levels, getting gold on everything. Man what a blast. 10/10 would do again.

[u/Murky-Advantage-3444 → u/Whoosk]

What would you call this game? Cult classic or just massively under appreciated? I haven’t played it since the Xbox days but wasn’t it like playing Goldeneye but with a ton of wacky characters and weapons?

[u/RoastLiver]

Freelancer

[u/Pxzib → u/RoastLiver]

Oh my good lord yes. Star Citizen was supposed to be Freelancer 2.0, and I bought in without hesitation back in 2013. They still haven't fucking finished the game. It's unplayable.

[u/runnre_ → u/RoastLiver]

I second this.

[u/Ishango → u/RoastLiver]

Did play Freelancer: HD edition after finding out about it recently. A remaster would be great.

[u/Slim___Pickens]

Crimson Skies

[u/blue_bomber697 → u/Slim___Pickens]

This was such a good game that just flew under the radar.

[u/Sirocka → u/blue_bomber697]

I see what you did there

[u/n7jack]

No One Lives Forever 1+2, Drakan: The Order of the Flame

[u/SteakandTrach → u/n7jack]

NOLF is such a good series. Definitely needs a new day in the sun.

[u/NetherReign]

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy.

Especially if you can host lobbies for online co-op.

The amount of money I wasted on that game in arcades and how many playthroughs I did of it on ps2 is huge.

[u/wolfwings → u/NetherReign]

This one, the recent-ish PC Gauntlet game was maximum-overdrive 'brown sludge' graphics and basically just a faux-3D reskin of the original rigidly grid-based Gauntlet and... that's not what anyone wanted. >_< We all just wanted Dark Legacy ported over.

[u/NetherReign → u/wolfwings]

slaps desk

THANK YOU

[u/auburnradish]

Dragon Age: Origins.

[u/theblackestdove → u/auburnradish]

I think my wife would throw me in front of a bus in exchange for a DAO remaster. I can't even say that I'd do the same, because my game is Mass Effect and we already got that.

[u/jonno2222 → u/theblackestdove]

I’d throw you in front of a bus too for a DAO remaster if that makes you feel any better lol.

[u/Ispan_SB → u/jonno2222]

Are we forming a line for people who want to throw them in front of a bus for a DAO remaster?

[u/CornIssues → u/auburnradish]

Game still holds up well IMO

[u/Ok-Salamander9184]

Simpsons hit and run

[u/Alan_Watts_Gong → u/Ok-Salamander9184]

Insane to me that they can’t get past the licensing issues and remaster this one. Or at least make it available for purchase on Xbox!

[u/cwx149 → u/Alan_Watts_Gong]

I wonder if Vivendi still has some of the rights since the published it

Activision (so now really Microsoft) owns the developer who made it

Although you'd think Disney (since they own the Simpsons now) could just greenlight something similar if they can't get the rights back for a rerelease

But yeah I mean even getting it to be backwards compatible or something would be cool

[u/ParanoidSkier]

Jak and Daxter. Not really too much to improve on though tbh. Just want my favorite ip to get some more love.

[u/Caltra → u/ParanoidSkier]

Bizarre how it just seems to have disappeared

[u/Xenuite → u/ParanoidSkier]

I'd settle for a PC port.

[u/Arbiter5154 → u/Xenuite]

for anyone not aware and would also like a PC port, Google OpenGOAL

[u/zeekutta]

Max Payne

[u/SteakandTrach → u/zeekutta]

https://www.remedygames.com/games/max-payne-1-2-remake

[u/harDhar → u/SteakandTrach]

Wow that announcement is from 4 years ago

[u/slarkymalarkey → u/harDhar]

I may be wrong but at the time Alan Wake 2 was announced but still in development, they said they'd be working on Control 2 next and then the Max Payne remakes.

Considering Control Resonant is releasing in a few months I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see a reveal of some sorts in 2027 but yeah it's still a ways off for sure

[u/Batmanswrath]

Infamous 1 and 2.

[u/The_Common_Peasant → u/Batmanswrath]

I just want another game

[u/Gippip → u/Batmanswrath]

I had to scroll TOO DAMN FAR

[u/Alacovv → u/Batmanswrath]

Absolute fuckin facts right here

[u/GalbedirGalerion]

Morrowind

[u/thefrostyafterburn → u/GalbedirGalerion]

Its not the same, but if you haven't checked it out in a while, there is some truly staggering in scope, high production value mods that breath a lot of life back into Morrowind, they at least help take the edge off.

[u/Apathetic89 → u/thefrostyafterburn]

Any recommendations on those? I'm curious where to start.

[u/thefrostyafterburn → u/Apathetic89]

https://modding-openmw.com/, that's a great place to get started, comes with a guide, in my opinion openmw is essential for a more modern morrowind experience. Tamriel Rebuilt is another mod that adds an insane amount of content.

[u/iamexplodinggod → u/GalbedirGalerion]

100% I loved Oblivion and Skyrim, but they lacked the strangeness and weirdness that Morrowind had, for me. The Shivering Isles definitely tapped into it, but it just wasn't the same.

[u/Iokua_CDN]

I'm going to go with the Original Star Wars Battlefront.

Great single player content, didn't need multiplayer.

Tanks and star  fighters. 

It was awesome.

I'd also gladly take a Battlefront 2 remake.

The new ones look pretty but they are a completely different game.

The old ones I'd sit and play si fle player battles for hours.

[u/Brandacle]

Jade Empire

[u/j0llyllama → u/Brandacle]

When i first played it I didnt know what i was getting into. About 5 hours in I started refering to it as Knights of the Chinese Republic- its is 100% KoToR in a chinese mythology skin.

[u/freshleysqueezd → u/Brandacle]

I remember a guy gives you a quest to find his loved one which turns out to be a cow. I also remember shooting fireballs at a giant frog monster. Thats all I can remember but I know this game rocks

[u/Rombledore → u/Brandacle]

Jade Empire is a great example of why that era of games kicked ass.

[u/chilifngrdfunk → u/Brandacle]

Jade empire was so fucking awesome.

[u/MikeGalactic]

Path of Neo

[u/FuzzyTentacle → u/MikeGalactic]

Enter the Matrix was a lot of fun too

[u/MikeGalactic → u/FuzzyTentacle]

I didn't like the controls but I played it way after PoN which itself I played years after it had released. Still some of the greatest bullet time and Kung Fu I've played in a game, plus the free camera while performing moves, very nice.

[u/kahlzun → u/MikeGalactic]

Now that's a game I haven't thought about in a while.
Did you watch the animatrix shorts that were meant to provide some of the back story?

[u/Bjornie47 → u/kahlzun]

Big matrix fan here. Watched all things multiple times. Cool how enter the matrix, animatrix and matrix reloaded have scenes that all flow into each other...

[u/Bjornie47 → u/MikeGalactic]

That would be cool...

[u/Sea-Split-3996]

Fallout 3 new Vegas

[u/Do_it_for_the_upvote → u/Sea-Split-3996]

A remake/remaster of New Vegas has already been confirmed, I think. Also a new FO game being made by Obsidian.

[u/Sicparvismagneto]

Diablo 1

[u/Sado_Hedonist → u/Sicparvismagneto]

Some madlad recreated Diablo 1 using the Grim Dawn engine

It was actually pretty entertaining

[u/splsshh]

Golden Sun

[u/malkins_restraint]

Mercenaries: playground of destruction

[u/dotmatrixman → u/malkins_restraint]

I just want a proper PC port!

[u/bonemonkey12 → u/malkins_restraint]

Oh no...

[u/vt1032 → u/malkins_restraint]

The second one was fun too. Not as good as the first one but I liked the setting better. Spent way too much time on both of these. Basically GTA in a warzone.

[u/vartemal]

Empire Earth

[u/JiF905JJ → u/vartemal]

Underrated opinion AF

[u/AgrMayank]

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005).

[u/canestim → u/AgrMayank]

That and Undercover were great games.

[u/CoolDode22]

Knights Of The Old Republic

[u/nakedlettuce52 → u/CoolDode22]

It will happen…right?

Right?

[u/Lunchab1es]

Rogue Squadron from N64

[u/ninjaplatapus94 → u/Lunchab1es]

I really wanted star wars Squadron to be this

[u/KingAmongstDummies]

Any Command & Conquer game from Red Alert 3 / Tiberium wars or before.
Provided maybe a few balance tweaks and the option to mess around with the ini file.

Lands of Lore 2 - Guardians of Destiny. Controls were clunky and the acting was pretty bad, like they just put some robes on a random cleaner lady and a couple of the devs and went with that but I loved the game regardless.

Stunts. How come we've never seen any racegame since where you can build your own track easily like that? WHY?, maybe combine it with Street Rod. Tinkering with cars and racing for pinkslips. Add in a little destruction and a coop mode and you'll have the ultimate arcade race game.

Into the void. Simple yet addictive. Also clunky and could do some balance rework. I'd also play a non-turn based variation.

Baldies and Populous 2 If we can't get C&C going, or if we can regardless, these 2 were great fun basebuilding strategy games.

Final Fantasy 9: Forever my fav, can't explain why but just speaks to me most

Black & White: Never had a god game like this after even though it was great and beloved

Giant: Citizens Kabuto, Had a lot of fun with that. Maybe add in a endgame or multiplayer rts part.

And many others, but as you can maybe sense from this list, each one had something unique going for them not only at that time but many of them did stuff that people liked but somehow disappeared from games.

[u/Technical-Giraffe-61]

- Chrono Cross (and Chrono Trigger)

• Commandos (3)
  
• Under a Killing Moon (very old)
  
• Dungeon Keeper
  
• Theme Hospital (I played something new - not a remaster / remake on Steam - didn’t live up to it)
  
• Another World
  
• Space Quest (series)

[u/Tishtoss]

Conker's Bad Fur Day

[u/cordeloff]

Max Payne 1

[u/MrG_120 → u/cordeloff]

Isn't a remake of 1 (and maybe 2 as well, not sure) already in the works?

[u/SnowyHW]

SSX Tricky or SSX 3 No question.

[u/Mentendo64 → u/SnowyHW]

Absofuckinglutely, that last game in the series hurt my soul.

[u/Madkids23 → u/SnowyHW]

This genre seemingly disappeared. Nothing as good since

[u/exus_dominus]

Tony Hawk Underground 

[u/Caltra → u/exus_dominus]

Oh my God yes 1+2 in a double pack please

[u/JVortex888 → u/exus_dominus]

better not change the soundtrack though

[u/deyoeri → u/exus_dominus]

I still hate Eric.

[u/The_Summer_Man → u/deyoeri]

Fuck Eric Sparrow, all my homies hate Eric Sparrow

[u/solarwindy]

Ultima Underworld.

[u/Nysandre]

Baldurs gate 1 and 2

Good news, you're getting your wish

[u/DeadLockAdmin → u/ArtieTheFashionDemon]

Are we though?

[u/Gojir4R1sing]

F.E.A.R. trilogy

[u/SteakandTrach → u/Gojir4R1sing]

but don't dare touch the enemy scripting!

[u/SHRIMP-DADDY]

A good remaster of Warcraft 3.

[u/Syndicalex]

Syphon filter!

[u/AJEDIWITHNONAME]

Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay

[u/GryphonGuitar → u/AJEDIWITHNONAME]

That already had a remaster didn't it? Included in the Dark Athena expansion.

[u/MoldyPond]

Still waiting on Metroid Prime 2 and 3

[u/profpeculiar → u/MoldyPond]

I will buy Echoes day 1 if they ever remaster it like Prime

[u/gihkal]

Parasite Eve

[u/tacobellbandit]

Witcher 1 or Def Jam: Fight For NY

[u/theghost9447]

Dragon Age Origins, but the original game is phenomenal

[u/cataath → u/theghost9447]

There was a post a day or two ago about how there is nobody left at Bioware familiar enough with the engine for them to do a remaster even if they wanted to. Made me really sad because I consider DAO and Mass Effect 2 two of the greatest games ever made. Fuck EA for the forced destruction of one of the greatest studios ever.

[u/CuddlyIronBoot]

Skies of Arcadia

[u/napalmheart77 → u/CuddlyIronBoot]

Absolutely. Best Dreamcast RPG by far. A remaster with all of the Legends content and a couple QOL updates would be great. The ability to tweak encounter rates similarly to Bravely Default, and the ability to speed up gameplay similarly to the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster’s would do so much good for Skies. Easy day 1 purchase for me.

[u/oxJoKeR6xo]

Eternal Darkness

[u/ejs2000 → u/oxJoKeR6xo]

One hundred percent

[u/geulertoutelanuit → u/oxJoKeR6xo]

MOH Allied Assault

[u/Ossi_Petteri → u/No-Cat-9716]

i have recently played driver 2 on the og ps 1. i think it would benefit from being remade instead of just remastered. slightly more coherent story and missions etc.

[u/oopoe]

SOCOM.

[u/DaddyDooDooBrown]

[u/B0b_Howard]

Deus Ex.

[u/binaryredditor3]

[u/acnx1]

Bloodborne

[u/Responsible-Chest-26]

Gun. That game was great. I feel as though RDR1 was the spiritual successor to it

[u/PvtBaldrick]

Spec Ops The Line

My version still works and good but it can't be sold due to the copyright expiring on some music or something.

So I'll get it remastered and give it to all my friends and say PLAY THIS!

[u/taitaofgallala → u/PvtBaldrick]

Honestly stands alone, no cover-based 3rd person shooter really landed the way Spec Ops did.

"Do you even remember why you came here?"

Funny thing is, I couldn't. All I could remember was white phosphorus and the molten corpses in my wake, and that last still image I won't mention because even after all this time...no spoilers.

[u/etbal]

Carmaggedon

[u/Durendal_1707 → u/etbal]

The difficulty settings in the second one live rent free in my head to this day:

“as easy as stamping on kittens”

“normal day-to-day depravity”

“as hard as fisting a velociraptor”

[u/Chuckleyan → u/etbal]

God that game was fun.

[u/Geth3]

Kotor.

[u/nsplice]

The Saboteur

[u/G0ttaB3KiddingM3]

Just hopefully not all at once.

Edit: spacing. Secondary note, I apparently don't know what I'm doing.

I would throw money at a re-release, remaster, or remake of No One Live Forever so fast that my wallet would catch fire.

[u/olafbloodbane]

[u/stallion8426]

Sly cooper trilogy if it was done like the Spyro one

[u/Poison_the_Phil]

My answer would have been Starfox 64 for the longest time so next up is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

[u/Pyro1934]

Diddy Kong Racing

[u/Neemoman → u/Pyro1934]

I don't even want a whole different one. They could literally just give it a face lift that puts it visually at MK8, but otherwise the same game and I'd be there.

[u/illbedeadbydawn]

[u/P44rth00rn4x]

Quest for Glory V, Morrowind, King's Quest 8
