      keep the original voices though!

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

      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

        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.

    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.

      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.

        Also there is a modding team making a remaster of new vegas using the fallout 4 engine. It looks really impressive, they’ve been working on it for years now.

    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.

    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.

    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

      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.

    • 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.

      Love seeing PE and LoD on here, both incredible games. I would also love to see Xenogears get a remaster that actually fleshes out a lot of the stuff left on the cutting room floor. I know we got Xenosaga - another one that would be great to have on modern hardware - and Xenoblade Chronicles but I truly miss that PS1 era of RPGs sticking with the turn-based model while trying to find ways to be unique.

    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.

    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

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

    Final Fantasy 9. It’s my favourite in the series, and it’s gotten lots of rereleases in its original form. But it would be nice if it got a more polished updated remaster.

    Though I would be afraid of how modern Square sensibilities might change the pretty iconic character designs.

      The main reason this world/could work is because it IS so quirky, that they couldn’t fuck it all up like they have everything else progressively more since ff9 came out. Square peaked with ff7 and took a nosedive after 10, change my mind. Baseless uneducated hot take: I blame Enix. Either that, or they still haven’t figured out how to actually bring fun JRPG gameplay into the 21st century without ruining it and making it generic and dull. Ff11 onwards lack intimacy, value, and quiet - they’re tacky, cheap, and feel disingenuous.

      So, ff9 getting a remaster, they couldn’t mess up something that’s the antithesis of their modern stuff so badly that that quirky game loses ALL of it’s appeal.

      I say all of this knowing this dissent and criticism will upset people, but I’ve been staying quiet on this for far too long and it has to be said.

        I don’t know, I think it’s possible they do mess it up, I would worry they would update the character designs to be more “marketable” (the cast of FF9 really are a weird looking bunch, but in a good way)

        But I hope you’re right!
