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.

    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.

    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.

    Knights of the Old Republic 2

    Supposedly they are still working on a reboot of the first one. But that one is fine. They were never allowed to finish the second one.

    WipEout.

    Only BallisticNG has recaptured the same level of AG racing magic for me, by literally copying WipEout’s physics.

    But it doesn’t have the graphical polish of the newer games… RIP Studio Liverpool D:

    Ape Escape, MediEvil 2, Tombi

    Basically games from my childhood that I wouldn’t mind getting the Spyro Reignited Trilogy treatment

      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.
