Burnout 3: Takedown.

@Trash Panic: I own that, and put some time into it, but I didn't understand the most effective way of taking the trash out compared to Tetris where you stack and then quickly drill down. I got up to I think the third level or when they introduce fire/matches but couldn't get past it.

I also own Tokyo Jungle and it's a solid game, but I never did "complete" it. Kept dying to starvation or not being able to evolve.

i dont even think most shit needs remasters. just port the fucking games, maybe do some quality of life improvements. there's so many great games out there that you can only play by digging up some old hardware or dealing with a mediocre emulator it pisses me off.

What about games that are logistically difficult to get ahold of i.e. Panzer Dragoon Saga? What about games that never came to the US to begin with like Shining Force 3 parts 2 and 3? Not to mention those are both games on a system notoriously tricky to emulate with no surviving source code, so a re-release would probably have to be built from the ground up. I'm a big fan of classic gaming but I can see plenty of reasons why a game would need a remaster.

Bluebyte's Albion (now merged into Ubisoft).

Going out on a limb, but all Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles themed games. There's some crap, but many if not most games could be genuinely awesome if someone actually cared and invested enough money. And even if not, there's a bunch of fun games (and a bunch of mediocre ones). If nothing else, then the first game please. I'd be up to bucket bitch my way through toxic wastelands any day of the week.

The Rub Rabbits DS games. I dun care if you hated them because they were fancy collections of minigames, they're great fun and super stylized and tongue in cheek fancy collections of minigames.

I would also do many dirty things to get a remaster of Dokapon (Kingdom/entire series) and/or that Animal Crossing Board game that delivered a swift and decisive kick to the nads of WiiU owners worldwide due to not being Animal Crossing U. But Dokapon Kingdom would need a baby mode. Always got humiliated by the CPU. Like, "made to crawl in the dirt and request permission to piss myself in terror" levels of ownage.  :'(

Axelay. There should be a billion sequels, but alas.

SWIV 3D. It was a fun voxel shooter. Waaaay too big map for its own good, and kinda barebones, but I loved it. Even though it was the last, terrible offshoot of the SWIV/Silkworm franchise (as far as I'm aware).

Krazy Ivan. 'cuz he Kray Kray. No seriously, mediocre game, but I'd like to have a go at it in FHD with 60FPS and better graphics.


Bonus: Metroid Prime Hunters. If one could actually see what's going on and control the action on screen, it might become a great game? Maybe? Probably. I think.

...and Metroid Pinball. It was a genuinely awesome game, dammit.  >:(

Destruction Derby 64 by Looking Glass Studios

Quote
Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot wrote, "Graphically, Destruction Derby 64 surpasses the old PlayStation games by quite a bit - not that that is a particularly hard thing to do". He found that its framerate was adequate even in split-screen mode, and concluded that it was "a better game than its PlayStation counterparts". He finished, "Give it a rent next time you're rounding up the posse for a day of gaming."

Sony taking cues from modern Zelda with a new/remade Alundra would be a good move. Ignore whatever Alundra 2 was.

Actually hell I'd definitely take a straight port of Galaxy 1/2 just in 1080p 60fps.

I'm not sure starbits are as big a deal as people make them. For starters the Joycons can emulate it (not perfectly since it's not IR, but close enough), but aside from that all you need to do is have starbits drawn to Mario when they're on-screen. Yeah it'll make parts of the game easier but starbits are really only used for content locks, which take more time than skill to unlock anyways.

Wouldn't work for playing in handheld mode.  Wasn't there also minor waggle for certain moves too?

Nothing that couldn't be substituted with a button press... just like SMW.   Only the 2nd player start collecting thing would probably have to be reworked a bit, i would think.

I really want a remaster of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, it's probably my #1 most desired remake. And I've played the game many, many times, so clearly it's current state doesn't bother me. But if I could get a version with modern graphics, redone combat, and reconstruction of content that was cut out or trimmed down, I'd drop $60 in a second for that.

I am playing Bloodlust: Shadowhunter it's spiritual successor, though I'm pretty early in the game and it could totally shit the bed on those expectations.

This may be random, but a sprawling remake of City Connection in the vein of a Metroidvania of sorts.

Not really under-appreciated and we actually need a fullblown Bluepoint remake for Silent Hill 2  :noah

Also, a couple of years ago I played Crash Racing PS1 for the first time and was shocked that it was mechanically better than most of Mario Kart - I wouldn't even need a full remake like the other Crash games, just put on a HD filter and online mode and you get the definite Kart game.
