Cyberbowl but add a repair garage and transformers movie level mechanicals, when the football explodes its mayhem.

Heroes of might and magic 3, but I feel like it might not have the same appeal if it did happen. Happy to be proven wrong, of course 🙂

Vib-Ribbon.

It’s one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen for PSx. It’s a rhythm game that loads into the console’s ram, allowing you to swap the disc to one of your CDs and could generate unique levels for your songs.

While looking it up I did find there was a PS3 port, but I don’t know how good that is or if it has the same custom level feature or not. I’d love a modern version that looks visually similar but allows you to either input a playlist from a service like yt or use your own local files to generate unique levels.

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.

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

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.

I would enjoy a copy of Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance with some spiffed up lighting effects, maybe the mech pack mechs included in the base game, and higher resolution copies of the FMV segments. I have my original copy but I can’t get it to run on Linux. Wonder if there’s a way to wash a CD game through Steam Play. Lutris…doesn’t function as software? It’s one of those magnetic “performance enhancing” bracelets, it doesn’t do anything but it has convinced a LOT of people it does.

This may be stretching the premise a little bit but I would like to play the game they thought they were making when they made Ride To Hell: Retribution.

This might be too many, but what I want to see remade, remastered, or given complete editions (although “complete editions” may not be relevant to the post topic; and some titles may not be considered niche but whatever) are Asura’s Wrath, Bloodborne, Bujingai, Bully, Dante’s Inferno, Dark Sector, Dead Rising 2 (and Off the Record), The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, the F.E.A.R. series, From Dust, God Hand, Grand Theft Auto IV, the first two Gungrave games, Just Cause, killer7, L.A. Noire, the Legend of Spyro trilogy, Like a Dragon Kenzan!, Mary Skelter 2, NieR: Automata, NieR: Replicant, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, No More Heroes 2, Prototype, Red Steel 1 and 2, Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Spec Ops: The Line, the original Splinter Cell (plus Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction), Stranglehold, Tail Concerto, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Watch Dogs 1 and 2, and the original World Ends with You.

Primarily, the goals would be to either restore cut content or integrate separate DLC into the main package, offer enhanced graphics, take advantage of the 16:9 aspect ratio if originally released during the time of 4:3 screens or on handhelds, or fix bugs or address technical limitations that affected their original console or PC releases, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements like anti-cheat and DRM removal and extensive performance optimizations. Also, we’re still waiting for a PC release for Bloodborne.

I’m here once again to humbly submit the suggestions of Dungeon Keeper and Black and White. That is all.

SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.

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.

Sid Meier’s Pirates! There are so few actually good pirate 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
