Games

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.

The Sly Cooper Trilogy +/- Thieves in Time

Legend of dragoon and legend of dragoon but if I can't have those, legend of dragoon...

Toxic crusaders! A sidescroller based on the toxic avenger movie.

Mercenaries 1 playground of destruction

Just cause graphics could be something nice

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.

SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.

Ima have to say The Neverhood and Skullmonkeys.

Definitely remasters though, no remakes.

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! :)

I really wouldn't mind a remake of Left 4 Dead 2 with better netcode and more official maps.

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)~~

The rest of the Legacy of Kain games

Just give me a proper Xenogears remake with all the cut content from the second disc and I'll die happy.

Mine is Gothic and Soul Reaver - getting both so I'm a happy camper

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.

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.

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
