SD Snatcher with a new look and new music. Basic story and gameplay is still fun.

But yeah, Konami. That IP isn't even popular enough to give it the Pachinko treatment

[Link1110]

Phantasy Star 1, made by Atlus. Imagine the l Etrian Odyssey engine used for dungeons, the press turn battle system, and all 3 planets fully realized with the best graphics 3ds has to offer. Even a remixed soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro. You're looking at top 10 games of all time material.

Then go ahead and remake phantasy star 2 in the same style. I wouldn't lament the loss of those dungeon designs.

And to anyone saying CHRONO Trigger, I love the game but do you really trust modern Square with it? I'm not so sure they'd do it justice.

Would love a remake of this with more intricate gameplay mechanics and generally updated...everything:

I remember not knowing anything about it when I played it on my OG xbox and was blown away by how good it was.

Nier

Nier is highly likely, the fact that it's actively brought up by key Square Enix staff is a good sign. Plus leadership is extremely eager to satisfy fan requests no matter how small

Jesus, too many to count. I find it very hard to go back to old games, particularly ones with old/outdated controls.

Company of Heroes 2

 

[DJIzana]

Chrono Cross (just HD textures would be enough and so I can actually play the game as I don't own a Vita or PS3).

Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2... seeing areas like the forest and beach in something like UE4 would be glorious. Having a remastered soundtrack too would be amazing.

Mother 3 using UE4. Seeing the original concept version of Mother 3... I was really excited for that on the 64DD but then got canned for GBA released (and still an amazing title) but yeah... HD...

 

[Baleoce]

Landstalker. Came close to happening on the PSP. But at this point yeah.. it's not ever happening.

and a real map

 

[SpacLock]

Symphony of the Night.

I'd love it just as is... in widescreen, but maybe adding a few animation frames with slightly updated art would also do it good. Oh, and that soundtrack uncompressed.

I could only imagine a similarly updated Super Metroid, but I'd never actually ask for that. That's blasphemy.

 

[the_batman]

Final Fantasy 7

 

[gabbo]

But this time with a working physics engine. Truly a broken mess of an influential game that shows the potential to work with the Jurassic Park IP, but not the skill to pull of the ambition.
Explore an island with a broken arm and make your way to safety avoiding/taking on dinosaurs in first person.

 

[benny lava]

I miss arcade racers.

Rumble Racing

Burnout 3: Takedown

 

[The Strokes]

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the four towers.

I think nobody owns the ip now ando even if someone did there probably isn't a market for this game.

 

[Waji]

There's probably a lot of them.

But I'd say :
- Valkyrie Profile (with ~VP2 battle system)
- Xenogears (done by Monolithsoft, certainly not Square)
- Xenosaga (as intended initially)
- Suikoden 1, 2 3 (same chara designer and game creator)
- Grandia 1, Breath of Fire 3, Wild Arms 2 and so on and so forth...

Clive Barker's Undying from 2001 is one of my all time favorite games. The gfx doesn't hold up and I would love a remake. Unfortunatly nobody remembers this game and a remake will never happen. I loved the atmosphere, setting, story, characters and the gameplay was enjoyable. I would pay top $ for a remake.

Do you have games you would like to be remade, but never will?

Clive Barker's Undying had incredible atmosphere. Honestly, whenever I tried (and failed) to get into BioShock, I thought back to how much I enjoyed Clive Barker's Undying, as I feel like Undying did some of what BioShock did better.

And I'd like a remake of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I don't even necessarily want a graphical update, but I do wish they'd modernize certain aspects of the game (especially the menus). If Konami went for a full-on remake, though, then I'd love for them to be far more ambitious with the second castle and weapon variety, as well as rework the distribution of certain abilities to better balance your progression and reduce backtracking.

 

[scar654]

Monkey Puncher or Konami Krazy Racers. Really.

 

[GLAMr]

Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

I played through VTMB recently on PC, and it holds up VERY well if you use the community patch. I wouldn't say no to a remake though

My pick would be Lufia 2. But if they got rid of the turn based combat, somebody would be getting stabbed.

The first Ape Escape. Sure it was remade on PSP but it was missing stuff and the controls made stuff like the RC car a pain.

A really good action platformer, though difficulty was really high(environment and traps were in my opinion harder than enemies).

 

[Bloodporne]

I'd also like to throw Nightmare Creatures out there...but maybe Bloodborne already kind of did that job for us. Anyway, loved it when I was younger.

 

[Titania]

I want another Hot Shots Tennis game, I put a silly amount of hours into it back in the day. I heard there was a version (re?)released on Australian PSN, but I wish there would be a new game with new characters and courts.

Came into this thread to say Nightmare Creatures.

Playing through Bloodborne a whole bunch of times made me want a remake of Nightmare Creatures, and just more melee-centric horror action games in general. I feel like a Nightmare Creatures remake/reboot that improves the camera, combat, and movement controls could make for a really cool game. Especially if the developers learned from the stuff Bloodborne did, but kept Nightmare Creatures a little closer to a hack and slash or character action game, focusing on the combo system the original game attempted, with minimal RPG elements found in FromSoft's games. It could still have enough of its own identity to not seem like just a Bloodborne knockoff, as a super-dark horror character action game.

...but then again, maybe Bloodborne knockoffs aren't such a bad thing to have, either.
