Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Fallout New Vegas?
New Vegas is a graphical dilemma for me. It's obviously graphically dated, but it's art and graphics style are such a perfect match for the game and atmosphere that I don't think i'd want to see them updated.
The datedness adds to the experience honestly. I can't play with any mods that are too detailed, nor can I use any mods that add super high res textures. It's like the graphical uncanny valley for me.
I have it the same with Morrowind. High res terrain and shaders for water or grass? That is ok, but do NOT touch a single polygon of NPCs!
The GFX were dated when it was released, compare it to Halo 3. Halo 3 still looks good and is from 2007, NV was released in 2010... The creation engine is kida trash for GFX even with the '16x fidelity" that FO76 got.
This doesn't mean I don't like it, just stating facts

I love suikoden and suikoden 2. I don't think they'd feel anywhere near the same if the graphics were changed.
Hi Fi Rush
Killer7, a very easy choice. That game's visual style will never fail to hold up for me.
Left 4 dead, in my opinion. It's fascinating as it's attempting to look realistic yet doesn't look very dated. I think it's because of how good the animations are, and most of the game is dark and gloomy.
Also SCP containment breach. Not graphically impressive but its atmosphere and immersion simply isn't the same without them. I feel no other SCP games captures the atmosphere of Containment Breach.

Gotta disagree on Oblivion, sadly. I tried playing it again a couple years ago and the graphics just do not hold up.

West of Loathing. Timeless.
That and a new Wing Commander are at the top of my wishlist.
Furi
It's not super high fidelity, but goddamn is it pretty!
FF12 also.
More importantly, basically everything good on SNES still looks good!

The original releases of the Yakuza games did some amazing things with in-game animation that have to be replicated on modern hardware.
VVVVVV
F-Zero GX comes to mind
Darkwood
Sacred
For me, MGS1. The tone of the game is really helped by its limited detail. It has the dark and serious mood throughout the game that just permeates this looming threat that is Metal Gear and the mysterious Foxhound unit. I think Twin Snakes doesn't look nearly as memorable or unique as MGS1 and I think a modern remake would lose a lot of the tone and atmosphere that the original had.
Oh and the artwork for MGS1 is just so incredibly good.
