keep the original voices though!
The voice acting in those games were top-notch and I don't want to risk ruining that
Yes! The voice acting in this series was so damn good.
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.

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.
Bully and KOTOR II
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.

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.

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.
Red dead redemption 1
Honestly read dead redemption holds up so well.
Yeah but i dont want to buy a 10 year old system to play it
It runs really well on Xenia-canary.
Good looking out!
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Jet Force Gemini
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
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.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing
Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me
Nokia 3310's snake
Beyond Good and Evil.
Absolute masterpiece. Ubisoft has been squandering the IP for decades.

Eternal Darkness
Chatturga Chatturga Ulyoth pargon pargon
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.
BLOODBORNE
Mario Kart: Double Dash
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.
Spore! Prince of Persia - SOT! Simpsons Hit'n'Run!
Good old Revolt. It'll be awesome with a remake of the game with the similar feel, realistic driving characteristics and challenging gameplay that's actually fun and difficult to master. I'd love a hyper realistic version of an RC car game just like revolt was back when it launched.
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.
- 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.

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
Lord of the rings; battle for middle earth
More a remake from the bottom up than just a remaster, but 1st person 3d Fallout and Fallout 2.
It's probably impossible due to rights issues and the like and would definitely piss off purists, but it would introduce a new generation to the origin of the series, the game that us olds first fell in love with.
It would also give us the opportunity to experience them anew with increased immersion and immedience as we wait for 5 to be released some time in the middle of the 2030s if even then..
I would love a New Vegas remake. I think the old games would be too hard to reimagine in 3D, but New Vegas already has that covered and has the same feeling as the old style of Fallout. And it deserves a proper remake as too much of the original vision got diminished by technical limitations (the strip being in 3 parts instead of one huge strip), short development schedule (Legion and House being somewhat underdeveloped) or both (Ulysses was originally supposed to be the legion aligned companion but he was too big to fit on the disk and they didn't have time to reduce his size, so he got cut from the base game). There's probably a lot of untapped potential in New Vegas to feel fresh while still feeling like New Vegas.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005 version) - That game would sell like hotcake if it came out again. All the recent NFS games seriously lack in story and police chases.
Witcher 1 - It might have been hinted that it's in the works!
Prince of Persia - This series is due a remaster. It would be a shame to have it forgotten (get it? The Forgotten Sands? no? ok).
