I wish that there were a reboot or remake of Total Overdose. It was a fun GTA-like game

    I’d much prefer a sequel, but a reboot to L.A. Noire would be just as welcome. Not only would the graphics be top-notch considering what we’ve seen lately with the Mafia remake set around the same time period, but I feel like Rockstar would be able to learn from some of the more glaring mistakes and improve heavily.

    Notably, the whole interrogation mechanic has some glaring flaws with what the interrogation options are called, and in how it chooses to tell you whether you got an answer right.

    Hands down, Jak and Daxter. Those were my favorite games growing up.
    I also wish that Banjo Kazooie/Tooie would get a remaster.

    Knights of the Old Republic 2

    Supposedly they are still working on a reboot of the first one. But that one is fine. They were never allowed to finish the second one.

    Dragon Age Origins. It’s getting long in the tooth and harder and harder to play on PC, plus you can’t play it on any of the last two PS consoles.

      I’d love a Dragon Age legendary edition similar to what Bioware did with Mass Effect.
      Biggest problem is that they used a different engine for all 3 Dragon Age games so it would need a lot more work. Maybe someday.

    I’m actually against the idea of a reboot / remake for most of the games listed here. They’re already good games, a modern update would only serve render them obsolete in the minds of many and reduce the lasting cultural impact of the original titles. Re releases of the original versions, sure, but full on reboots / remakes, absolutely not.

    I believe that, like film, game remakes should be reserved for titles that had potential they never lived up to, or where a developer has a fresh interpretation of a title that doesn’t supplant the original, such as the case with Final Fantasy VII.
    To that end, some games I personally would like to see remade or rebooted are Whiplash, Jurassic Park Trespasser, Sonic 06, Enter The Matrix, and Nightmare Creatures.

    Black & White! I’m honestly surprised it’s just been left to rot. I don’t think it’s even gotten the GOG treatment.

    Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That’s begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.
