I know that remakes and remasters are contentious, but let’s pretend whatever game in question you’re thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.
Mine would be Shadow of Memories (called Shadow of Destiny in North America). It’s legitimately one of my favourite games of all time but it kinda flew under the radar and I haven’t met many people who know of it let alone played it. Seeing it get modern graphics, maybe some expanded mechanics, would be soooo cool.
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.
I was coming here to reply SSX 3 :)
I love you both very much.
I still play SSX3 GameCube version on my Wii.
Amped was better
Just give me a proper Xenogears remake with all the cut content from the second disc and I’ll die happy.
Absolutely
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
- etc
Future Cop L.A.P.D
I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.
The rest of the Legacy of Kain games
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
Any game in that genre combined with local and remote multiplayer would be a hit
Black and white as VR
I’d love to see Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask get a full remade release, bundled together into one game ideally. Sure we got the 3ds remakes but I wanna see it back on home consoles, like tp and ww HD.
There is a GitHub project working on a recompilation of both of these for PC. They’ve got Majora’s Mask working and are working on OoT. Looks beautiful, runs buttery smooth, and has custom controls with a free camera.
That’s crazy, I had no idea. I’m definitely gonna have to check that out. Thanks for letting me know

Crash Team Racing. :(
Well, a few months ago I would have said Soul Reaver, but we’re finally getting that!
So I guess I’ll say Siphon Filter. I remember having a lot of fun with that back in the day.
I don’t think I ever got anywhere in that game, I just spent the whole weekend rental tazing poor unfortunate bros…
Shadow of Memories is such a good game. That’s all I had to say.
Right now, I’d really like the Gex games. Underrated 2D platformer, and a pair of goofy early 3D collectathons!
Hopefully the remake of the trilogy is still in production. I’ve got it on my wishlist from Limited Run Games, lol
Mercenaries 1 playground of destruction
Just cause graphics could be something nice
Shadow of memories sounds nice.
I can see a good remake of terranigma
The Sly Cooper Trilogy +/- Thieves in Time
Solid pick.
