I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.

Overload exists. While not a remake, it is the spiritual successor with the original development team making it.
Vib-Ribbon.
It's one of the coolest concepts I've seen for PSx. It's a rhythm game that loads into the console's ram, allowing you to swap the disc to one of your CDs and could generate unique levels for your songs.
While looking it up I did find there was a PS3 port, but I don't know how good that is or if it has the same custom level feature or not. I'd love a modern version that looks visually similar but allows you to either input a playlist from a service like yt or use your own local files to generate unique levels.
Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.
Definitely remasters though, no remakes.
there's always armikrog
Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I've heard barely anyone talk about :)
It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)
Guiltily I'd also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)
The adventures of buckaroo banzai.
That movie suffered from poor execution but it is a cult classic and could possibly reach a new generation if it were done correctly.
Elite 2: Frontier.
elite dangerous is very close but it doesn't really capture the seamlessness you get from not having a landing mode or frame shifting. pioneer spaceship sim is a remake in the truest sense of the word, but a remaster would fix the ui issues the original had rather than just rolling with them.
This might be too many, but what I want to see remade, remastered, or given complete editions (although "complete editions" may not be relevant to the post topic; and some titles may not be considered niche but whatever) are Asura's Wrath, Bloodborne, Bujingai, Bully, Dante's Inferno, Dark Sector, Dead Rising 2 (and Off the Record), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, the F.E.A.R. series, From Dust, God Hand, Grand Theft Auto IV, the first two Gungrave games, Just Cause, killer7, L.A. Noire, the Legend of Spyro trilogy, Like a Dragon Kenzan!, Mary Skelter 2, NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes 2, Prototype, Red Steel 1 and 2, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Spec Ops: The Line, the original Splinter Cell (plus Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction), Stranglehold, Tail Concerto, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Watch Dogs 1 and 2, and the original World Ends with You.
Primarily, the goals would be to either restore cut content or integrate separate DLC into the main package, offer enhanced graphics, take advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio if originally released during the time of 4:3 screens or on handhelds, or fix bugs or address technical limitations that affected their original console or PC releases, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements like anti-cheat and DRM removal and extensive performance optimizations. Also, we're still waiting for a PC release for Bloodborne.
I do agree with the Splinter Cell series yeah.
Although I'm confused, why did you include Nier Replicant and Automata? Automata has already a complete version, and Replicant already had a remaster/remake/director's cut version 3 years ago.
I'm outing me as ancient:
- M.U.L.E.
- Load Runner
- The Castles of Dr. Creep
- Seven Cities of Gold
- Paradroid
- The Sentinel
- Hanse / Kaiser / Fugger
It doesn't need a remaster, but a PC port of Lost Odyssey would be awesome.
I would enjoy a copy of Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance with some spiffed up lighting effects, maybe the mech pack mechs included in the base game, and higher resolution copies of the FMV segments. I have my original copy but I can't get it to run on Linux. Wonder if there's a way to wash a CD game through Steam Play. Lutris...doesn't function as software? It's one of those magnetic "performance enhancing" bracelets, it doesn't do anything but it has convinced a LOT of people it does.
This may be stretching the premise a little bit but I would like to play the game they thought they were making when they made Ride To Hell: Retribution.
Subspace Continuum
I want a remake of the original Harry Potter 1 and 2 games from the PS1. Not asking much, anything that looks nicer than this would do
How dare you, this Hagrid is beautiful
xenogears
One can hope for a properly fleshed out disc 2.
Megaman Legends Megaman Battle Network Jetforce Gemini
Pong.
Half-Life. I know there's been some successful efforts to modernize it, but those only bring it up to Source 2 era.
I would love a fully modern remake. Modern lighting and raytracing could do great things for the detail of a headcrab infected scientist.
Heckin' Mega Man Legends 1&2.
idk if it's considered obscure but I'd love to see the OG Viva Pinata get a remake (Or remaster atleast)
I would love that!
Toxic crusaders! A sidescroller based on the toxic avenger movie.
Trapt
Bloodrayne
Primal
Starsiege: Tribes, or Alien vs Predator (2).
Both had degrees of movement that I absolutely loved (Alien wall climbing in AvP).
I understand that I should probably check out Titanfall 2 for similar reasons.
Make clue finders for adults! Same game, just adult level facts, puzzles, and math!
