Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas could use a 64-bit version. Even if they change absolutely nothing else about those games, that alone would be a major improvement, as they are very prone to crashing from running out of address space, especially if you have graphics mods installed.

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Not saying that these shouldn't have a more stable official release, but hasn't this been solved by mods for a long while now? At least New Vegas I remember when I last set up mods installing a fix for this, it's actually quite stable now if you install all the recommended fixes.

The entire Legacy of Kain series. Wish they would have finished the series :(

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

keep the original voices though!

The voice acting in those games were top-notch and I don't want to risk ruining that

[–] EveningPancakes@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought Defiance wrapped it up, no? It's been a long time since I played it but all I remember was a convoluted time travel story

[–] Venutianxspring@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

No, it wrapped up the story of Raziel (kind of), but it ended with Raziel sacrificing himself to cleanse Kain so he could avoid having to die to heal Nosgoth. There was supposed to be a sequel that would see Kain go on purifying the pillars, but too late for that now.

Bully and KOTOR II

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

There are a bunch of old Sega IPs I'd love to see get a modern treatment. Alex Kidd. Space Harrier. Shinobi. Wonder Boy in Monster Land got the proper treatment a few years back with a gorgeous remake and a pseudo-sequel.

[–] dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For most of them a proper remake rather than a remaster but I'll take what I can get

  • Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
  • Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (originally used the same engine as Age of Empires 2 so porting it to the Definitive Edition engine should be doable)
  • The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
  • Final Fantasy VI
  • Final Fantasy VIII
  • Assassin's Creed 1
[–] pepsison52895@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Played Assassin's Creed 1 recently and it's so clunky. A remaster would need some new controls or something to be viable today, but a remake would be better.

Honestly read dead redemption holds up so well.

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah but i dont want to buy a 10 year old system to play it

Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.

[–] bbbhltz@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Jet Force Gemini

[–] Earthsiege@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

C&C: Tiberian Sun and the Firestorm expansion. I wasn't the biggest fan of the original C&C, but picked up the remaster to show my support in the hopes that Tiberian Sun would get the treatment. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening as far as I've seen.

[–] packadal@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, and Red Alert 2 as well (since it runs on the same-ish engine).

I've been hoping for this since the release of the remastered versions of the original C&C and Red Alert.

[–] Dekthro@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck yeah, Metal Gear Solid! I feel like remasters and PC ports are a no brainer. Konami has the engine Kojima did for MGS5, which I assume is what they are using to re-make 3.

[–] MooMix@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I would love Max Payne 1 & 2. I googled it for fun and found this: https://investors.remedygames.com/announcements/remedy-entertainment-enters-agreement-with-rockstar-games-for-new-max-payne-12-project/

I won't hold my breath, but I'll be happy if it happens.

[–] nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I'd love to see star wars republic commando as well as the Jedi knight series!

[–] variants_of_concern@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Im excited for that nvidia ai enhanced rtx thing! now we wont have to wait around for a remaster and can just automagically remaster it

[–] sandmesomesand@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

very niche but Skies of Arcadia! I miss my pirate RPG with airship battling featuring main characters that may or may not develop a harem at the end.

[–] Paroxia@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Suikoden 3 for sure.

[–] ExoMonk@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Matrix Path of Neo. I loved that game so much and the last time I tried emulating it was so bad. I was completely hyped at that recent tech demo until I realized that was all it would be.

[–] sneaky_b45tard@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me

[–] cantrips@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Lord of the Rings: Gollum

[–] ShadyPossum@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

I know I’m in a minority but DK64! I loved that game as a kid. Maybe it was because my game library was quite small growing up but I spent hours and hours during summer vacation with the DK Crew

[–] winterstillness@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Dark Souls 1

I'll give them points for fixing the technical issues. But, IMO, slapping some textures (that breaks the original atmosphere) isn't good enough. It would've been amazing to have Demon Ruins + Lost Izalith fixed.

But to be realistic this was nothing more than a cash grab; minimal effort. Which I can't necessarily blame as that's the whole point of people doing anything. People gotta eat.

A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.

[–] Mathusalem@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Icewind Dale 2 need a remaster / EE edition. I remember reading somewhere that the source code was lost. Same issue with HOMM3 extensions that why there is no HD edition of the full game and why GOG version is still the best.

[–] Valliac@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago
  • Parasite Eve
  • Prototype 1
  • Legend of Dragoon
  • NFL Blitz (just a modern upgrade, keep the arcade feel)
  • Smash TV

We're actually getting a Star Ocean 2 remaster in November, so I can cross that off the list.

[–] communist@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

black and white 2 needs a modern remake.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen's Odyssey

Man, I love that game, but it has some things I'd love to see improved by a remaster.

[–] Shinra_K@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Vagrant Story

[–] branflakes1413@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Maybe this is moot since they would just do the usual Square Enix “remaster” (read: poorly upscaled and very basic QoL improvements)

I want some love for Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. Even if they just made it 2.5 HD similar to Octopath Traveller, Diofield Chronicle, etc

[–] Kaldo@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Star wars jedi power battles. More people need to know about the second best jedi game with the worst title that ever existed.

Eternal darkness for the GameCube could be so good with a proper remaster.

The original Quake but the asthetic needs to be identical and NIN should actually do the soundtrack.

Deus Ex would be great, it was so ahead of its time.
