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.
Simpsons hit and run please!
There’s a dude remaking the whole dang thing in Unreal 5, solo.
Another for LA Noire, favorite cop game of mine, but also Syndicate holds a special place that should be explored more.
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.
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.
Jade Empire. I’d love a new one but I’d take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.
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.
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.
Black & White! I’m honestly surprised there aren’t at least a few of these.
Yes! There isn’t a god game as good after black and white
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.Chrono trigger and give it the ff7 treatment
You can’t mess with perfection. Chrono Trigger is still amazing.
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.
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!
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.
Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That’s begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.
I’ve been seeding a torrent of that for quite awhile because I think at this point it’s abandonware.
Star Citizen is the freelancer sequel, it’s just stuck in development hell
General Chaos
Twisted Metal
NBA Jam: Tournament Edition
I would love a new Twisted Metal game. Hell - it doesn’t even need a reboot, just build 1-4 from the ground up like the did the Spyro or Crash Bandicoot trilogy.
