None. After the vivisection that was the GTA remaster, stay the fuck away from older games. Please and thank you.
I had the same thought initially, and unfortunately it wasn't just GTA. However, IMHO Diablo II Resurrected was an amazing exception, and I'm sure there are others. Plus, the OP's question was probably about an ideal case and they wanted to know what people have been missing from the past.
Realistically, I wouldn't expect a decent comeback of Guitar Hero 3 for example, but it sucks that it doesn't really work on Win10/11 anymore, and while Clone Hero exists, it doesn't have the same "story" mode as GH3 had, with characters, milestones and such. Hell, you can't even get "booed out".
Too bad that as you mentioned, even if there was demand, a random big company would just buy the rights, do some lazy upscale and sell it like it was gourmet shit.
Well, a few months ago I would have said Soul Reaver, but we're finally getting that!
So I guess I'll say Siphon Filter. I remember having a lot of fun with that back in the day.
I don't think I ever got anywhere in that game, I just spent the whole weekend rental tazing poor unfortunate bros...
I would love to see F.E.A.R. with updated graphics. Preferably just a remaster, but if it was remade in the same spirit as the Dead Space remake was, I'd be down for that too, especially if they brought back Fettel's voice actor.

OpenRA is nice though
Bonanza Bros, Blast Corps, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines, Cruisn World, LEGO Battles, NBA Jam
Bonanza Bros would be a great couch co-op multiplayer game in a world where we need more. It would benefit from some gameplay tweaks, and adding online play and 4 players would be big.
Blast Corps was awesome, I found it to be an extremely underrated Rare game. This game in an engine with simulated rubble and crazy explosions would be a gem. I also think changing the camera to first person should be an option at the very least.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days got its cutscenes remastered. I want the full game. It was dripping in atmosphere, and I loved the premise of scouting the new worlds. The graphics could use an upgrade, and the combat could be brought up to par with KH2. But, I love the leveling system and think it would barely need touching.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is awesome and not super long. It's extremely buggy, but luckily there's a modder named Wesp5 who has spend YEARS creating an Unofficial Patch, to a point where all the cut content is restored and it's essentially feature-complete. There's a version that just patches the game, and a restored content version. I think he should be given a team and be allowed to curate content and rebalance cut mechanics for a remake. It would be magical.
Cruisn World is one of my favorite arcade racers ever. It has untouchable vibes, and I'd just like to see that with a nice sheen over it, maybe more levels and vehicles?
LEGO Battles is an RTS for the Nintendo DS. Put it on PC, nuff said.
NBA Jam is not very niche. I want a remake, and I don't care if it's up-to-date. It's the best sports game period.
Given that they remade Chain of Memories entirely, I am really surprised they never did it for 358/2.
Shadow of memories sounds nice.
I can see a good remake of terranigma
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!
I'd like to see a return of the old racing games with hundreds of cars and performance customization
I haven't seen a game like juiced in quite some time with money on the line for each race
NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.
Thats 3 promises broken at once.
- MDK and MDK2
- King’s Quest VI
- Leisure Suite Larry 6
- Mario Paint
Didn't super Mario rpg get a remake this year already?
Wow looks like it was released last year. Thanks, I had no idea!
It's very good!
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.
Pong.

One can hope for a properly fleshed out disc 2.
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
Oh whaat, hell yeah! Definitely gonna be having a look at this, thanks for sharing.
Still want that remake tho haha
