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.
Command and conquer series. They’re the best RTS games honestly.
Simpsons hit and run please!
There’s a dude remaking the whole dang thing in Unreal 5, solo.
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.
Black & White! I’m honestly surprised it’s just been left to rot. I don’t think it’s even gotten the GOG treatment.
Yes! There isn’t a god game as good after black and white
Hands down, Jak and Daxter. Those were my favorite games growing up.
I also wish that Banjo Kazooie/Tooie would get a remaster.A Hat in Time and Yooka Kaylee scratch that Banjo itch pretty well.
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.
Another for LA Noire, favorite cop game of mine, but also Syndicate holds a special place that should be explored more.
Jade Empire. I’d love a new one but I’d take a remake at this point. Such an excellent, peak-Bioware game.
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.Legacy of Kain / Soul Reaver series for sure. I would pay absurd amounts of money to play through these again.
Bloodborne
There was a dos 4x game by logic factory called Ascendency. It was similar to Stellaris but more turn based and has a much more manageable interface. I really enjoyed the game mechanics and game races, which were all very unique. Id love to see it rebooted, but at least I can still play the original on dosbox.
Nothing has ever quite scratched that Ascendancy itch. It really was a great game, even taking off the nostalgia-glasses. A proper remake or spiritual successor would be thrilling!
It’s still a ton of fun to play, and it’s really low stress for a 4x game. Plenty of time to plan and strategize. They had re-released the original as an iphone game about a decade ago, but it wasn’t the same.
WipEout.
Only BallisticNG has recaptured the same level of AG racing magic for me, by literally copying WipEout’s physics.
But it doesn’t have the graphical polish of the newer games… RIP Studio Liverpool D:
I think Grip might have the same feel. I never played the old ones tho.
Never played rollcage either, but Grip is pretty fun.
General Chaos
Twisted Metal
NBA Jam: Tournament Edition
I would love a new Twisted Metal game. Hell - it doesn’t even need a reboot, just build 1-4 from the ground up like the did the Spyro or Crash Bandicoot trilogy.
