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.
keep the original voices though!
The voice acting in those games were top-notch and I don't want to risk ruining that

Great pick, I keep meaning to check them but they sure can look daunting these days

Bully and KOTOR II
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.
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.

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.
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
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.
Early BioWare stuff. Specifically KOTOR (don't know what's going on with that remake, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere right now), KOTOR II (yes, I know it's Obsidian, but still), and Jade Empire. Probably Dragon Age: Origins as well.
Since they're already doing it, it's probably a useless mention, but Splinter Cell needed it, especially for PC.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the Kyle Katarn Jedi games could probably do with a touch-up as well. But they're "not canon", so that's not happening.
Maybe also the original Deus Ex and/or Thief.
I expect System Shock 2 might get one in a few years, although it isn't as desperately needed as the original was.
Bioware just announced layoffs.
God forbid any exec there have literally any brains or sight above 3 months. I'm so goddamn frustrated with the shell corporation formally known as Bioware. Yes, your quarterly revenue is in the toilet, you invest money to make a killer game and make profit when you release. Games take time, stop fucking laying off people and trying to squeeze it for every dollar and just make a good goddamn game.
They have massive IPs like KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age that literally everyone is chomping at the bit for. They could have staff working on all three with a new game coming out every two years with DLCs in between, but they're afraid to invest in it.
They could have the next RDR2 or Witcher - if they actually invested in it. They could be the name for RPGs again, but they're too afraid about not being able to afford their next BMW.
They could be the name for RPGs again
Unpopular opinion: They never were. And neither was Bethesda. Black Isle/Obsidian are the true masters of RPGs. There was a period of time when they would take other studios' engines and IPs and produce sequels/spin-offs that vastly surpassed the original in terms of writing and world design. Bioware made Baldur's Gate, Black Isle made Planescape: Torment. Bioware made Neverwinter Nights, Obsidian made NWN2. Bioware made KotOR, Obsidian made KotOR2. Bethesda made Fallout 3, Obsidian made Fallout: New Vegas. If anything, it's Black Isle/Obsidian games that deserve to be remastered.

Jet Force Gemini
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
Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me
Future Cop: LAPD
Suikoden 3 for sure.
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.
Beyond Good and Evil.
Absolute masterpiece. Ubisoft has been squandering the IP for decades.
- 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.

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.

No One Lives Forever 1 and 2.
LA Noire
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
Morrowind
My heart and soul says YES but the rational part of my brain knows they would just screw it up. Morrowind is a product of a long-gone age of gaming and I can't imagine the suits would let it fly today and it wouldn't be the same without its old charms and quirks.
I feel like Morrowind was a "perfect storm" situation that can never happen again. A new version would be... less than good, I feel.
Now Daggerfall, on the other hand. There were many good things about it, but in sum, it was kind of a mess. I would love to see it reimagined with updated gameplay and a tightened up map. I would shrink it down to a Skyrim-like scale, but include a whole second underground map consisting of a massively overcomplicated labyrinth of tunnels and shafts connecting together a bunch of extraneous architecture representing fragments left over from thousands of years and multiple timelines of history. It wouldn't be designed to be navigable. The main quest wouldn't touch on it. It would just be there for maze-fiends like myself to get lost in.
Skies of Arcadia - Would love an updated version of this on the Switch, or some other system. Especially if they can bring back Pinta's Quest, using a phone app or other small device.
Darkened Skye - Though I'm probably one of the few who actually enjoyed this.
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.
Heroes III. Spent my whole time during studies playing it with friends on lectures. Would love to see the enhanced version
- .hack IMOQ (I was coping so hard after GU got a remaster but still nothing)
- Dragon age origins
- Digimon world 3. There have been two reboots/reimaginings of digimon world 1 (re digitized decode, and next order), but never anything about world 2 and 3.

.hack IMOQ. We got the gu remasters, now that’s all we need.
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.
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.
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.
