I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.
I'd personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they're older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.
I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.
TES: Morrowind, Fallout: New Vegas, RDR 1
EDIT: Guys, OP is talking about proper remaster. I'd actually like a current gen remakes.
Would you want the theoretical KotOR remake to be using a 3e or 5e DnD system?
Syndicate (1993) has a great concept, but the controls are annoying and some mechanics need balancing.
There was a reboot attempted by Starbreeze in 2012 but it was a bog-standard FPS that wasn't up to the quality they normally make. It's been dead silence since.
There are some games you might enjoy that are similar to Syndicate. Tokyo 42, Satellite Reign, Brigador, and this cute little free indie game called DataJack.
Waypoint/Remap Radio was obsessed with the Syndicate reboot for a few weeks this year, and that's the only reason I remember it exists lol
A game remade only because it's old will age again. A game remade because it missed its potential the first time is a big improvement.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
I downloaded for my iPhone and was bummed to learn that you can’t do wheelies or jump cars. Oh well
No one lives forever. Though the originals are still very much playable, only the graphics are outdated.
those games are amazing. Monolith was a really good studio before Warner Bros gutted them. Problem with the NOLF games getting a reboot/remake is the rights are split between Fox, Vivendi, and Activision. It's a complete mess and I doubt it'll ever happen sadly
Morrowind. Rpg that doesn't hold your hand through quest, well written plot and sidequests and a superb fantastic setting that is not all medieval Europe. Ashland, siltstriders, giant mushroom mage tower that can only be accessed by super jump or flying. And thosefucking annoying cliff 'bird thing.
Nerevar, you foolish one, approach. A character on the internet proclaims that our world must endure another cycle of annihilation and rebirth to find goodness. Can you fathom such grand and intoxicating innocence, Nerevar?
You there, sir! Be aware that I, Dagoth Ur, have witnessed 3743 years of existence, and I did not dedicate my millennia to be insulted by a creature not yet a century old. Depart from my lands and the ungrateful tribes, and let them remain untouched by your misguided notions.
I understand there is an open engine for morrowind with better graphics called OpenMW. Look for it here: https://osgameclones.com/
Probably my favorite RPG - Such a rich environment and a totally unnecessary amount of lore and background information in all of the included books and dialogue. Really set me up to be severely unfulfilled by everything else Bethesda made after that point.
Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.
