Alister McGee's Alice. Pretty much a horror version of Alice in Wonderland, and it's a platformer with trippy graphics. I thought it was pretty fun.

LEGEND OF DRAGOON
Ultima 7 I guess. I never got into it but I keep hearing his great it was. Final Fantasy VI, because it was my first and therefore the best. Space Crusade because it was just that fun.
None, let them be, let the era of redoing finally end please
I'm here once again to humbly submit the suggestions of Dungeon Keeper and Black and White. That is all.
Black and White for sure. I still get nostalgic for that one.
I was talking to my SO about it recently and we both kinda agreed you'd probably have to update the core gameplay so it would be a little more interesting/engaging but overall B&W was fun. Hell, even Spore redone properly (aka not by fucking EA) I would love too. That one always makes me sad to think about, and we've not really had anything like it since.
Obligatory Bloodborne mention.
Not sure if it's been done already, but Zelda LttP would be cool. I haven't played Echoes of Wisdom though I like the art style and could see it working well.
Goldeneye + Perfect Dark.
Zelda LttP
That'd be awesome! I'd pirate the shit out of a remake.
I don't think Nintendo is capable of doing anything to Link to the Past other than ruin it.
A lot of the Zelda games that got "remasters" mostly had their resolutions and brightnesses increased, to the point that the Wind Waker remake has problematic amounts of bloom. Makes me think someone important at Nintendo has cataracts. So if you want to "remaster" A Link to the Past, run it through an AI upscaler and turn a desk lamp on your screen.
The few that have gotten ground-up "remakes" like Link's Awakening...I kind of liked the art style they chose, it fit the tone of the game pretty well, going with quartets for the music is a stroke of genius, WHY DOESN'T THE FUCKING D-PAD WORK? The original game was designed for use with a D-Pad and either 4- or 8- way motion. I get that modern gamers might instinctively reach for the analog stick, but bind movement controls to the D-pad too, especially if you're not going to bind anything else to those controls. Nintendo never doesn't fuck this up. They made an entire console based on a revolutionary new way to fuck up the controls.
So what you'd get out of a first-party re-release of aLttP is a blank white screen you control entirely with the gyros.

SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.
Amped was better
My wishlist is Final Fantasy Tactics, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and Xenogears. A Xenogears remake likely isn't ever happening so I'd be happy with a remaster, and it's practically an open secret at this point that an FFT project is in development. It getting the Tactics Ogre Reborn treatment would be lovely, but what I really want is an orchestrated soundtrack. Here's hoping it doesn't get cancelled. 🤞
As a genre, 4X is still kicking around, but I'm not even sure if SMAC is beloved enough to get the treatment. Good voice acting would be essential.
I hadn't heard about Tactics in the works. Would be keen on that!

Sid Meier's Pirates! There are so few actually good pirate games.
I've played through various iterations of that game so many times, and I agree that it needs another modernization!
Honestly, looking at how modern game development studios handle remakes, I wouldn't want them anywhere near any of my beloved games. I haven't played a single remake in the last 20 years where I felt like the studio that made it knocked it out of the park.
Also, I strongly believe good games should not be remade, and only remastered/ "deluxe remastered" (where even if the game is remade, its a 1:1 faithful recreation with additional features and gameplay mechanics being optional). Remake the games that weren't great, give them another chance at big success.
- Sonic 2006
- the XenoSaga games (don't @ me XS fans, you know the combat and boss design in those games were terrible, 1 had DOMO Carrier, Tiamat, and whatever was going on in Song of Nephilim)
- Most Konami games in the late 90s - mid 2010s
- LAPD Future Cop
- etc
Future Cop L.A.P.D
I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.

Just give me a proper Xenogears remake with all the cut content from the second disc and I'll die happy.
I'd be happy with a simple remaster with a cleaned-up script. Disc 2 wasn't as bad as I'd remembered on a replay I had earlier this year.

Mine is Gothic and Soul Reaver - getting both so I'm a happy camper
Having seen the trailer for Gothic, it looks good. I really hope that it's actually good.
Legend of dragoon and legend of dragoon but if I can't have those, legend of dragoon...

Deus Ex. When I first played it I was amazed by the graphics and I specifically remember being impressed that your character was reflected in mirrors. I've been replaying it recently and the graphics are obviously very dated, but it also doesn't run smoothly on modern hardware. My PC gets louder and louder as I play it and eventually the game starts to stutter and I have to restart it.
The rest of the Legacy of Kain games
Mercenaries 1 playground of destruction
Just cause graphics could be something nice
pretend whatever game in question you're thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.
Crash Team Racing. :(
Right now, I'd really like the Gex games. Underrated 2D platformer, and a pair of goofy early 3D collectathons!
Hopefully the remake of the trilogy is still in production. I've got it on my wishlist from Limited Run Games, lol
I'm not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I'm a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.
I would love to see Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes again and have a similar service on Switch for GameCube games.
X3: Terran Conflict.
Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).
It's a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as "enjoyable" as it can be, that janky piece o' junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. ~~(if you say "X4" I'm going to fucking flip)~~

I really wouldn't mind a remake of Left 4 Dead 2 with better netcode and more official maps.
The entire Ultima series for sure. I think those were the first CRPGs I played. I loved Ultima: Underworld I & II, but I was never able to get Ultima VII: Pagan to run properly on my computer. (And, holy fuck, that was 30 years ago.)
But also The Elder Scrolls: Arena, TES: Daggerfall, TES: Battlespire, TES: Redguard, and TES: Morrowind. The first two TES games would be challenging to make, given that many of the areas were randomly generated, rather than being designed.
Shadow of Memories is such a good game. That's all I had to say.
