The entire Legacy of Kain series. Wish they would have finished the series :(
keep the original voices though!
The voice acting in those games were top-notch and I don’t want to risk ruining that
I thought Defiance wrapped it up, no? It’s been a long time since I played it but all I remember was a convoluted time travel story
No, it wrapped up the story of Raziel (kind of), but it ended with Raziel sacrificing himself to cleanse Kain so he could avoid having to die to heal Nosgoth. There was supposed to be a sequel that would see Kain go on purifying the pillars, but too late for that now.
Great pick, I keep meaning to check them but they sure can look daunting these days
I’m trying to replay the series right now on my Steam Deck. Started with Soule Reaver, but the controls are pretty jarring coming from modern control schemes. Soul Reaver 2 was always my favorite though, the story and setting of that game is a masterpiece
The PC ports are very rough. May have better luck with an emulated version.
That’s what I ended up doing. I’m playing it through emudeck. The camera is still awful though, so I doubt that I will finish the game. I’ll most likely jump to Soul Reaver 2.
Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas could use a 64-bit version. Even if they change absolutely nothing else about those games, that alone would be a major improvement, as they are very prone to crashing from running out of address space, especially if you have graphics mods installed.
Not saying that these shouldn’t have a more stable official release, but hasn’t this been solved by mods for a long while now? At least New Vegas I remember when I last set up mods installing a fix for this, it’s actually quite stable now if you install all the recommended fixes.
Also there is a modding team making a remaster of new vegas using the fallout 4 engine. It looks really impressive, they’ve been working on it for years now.
That should do the trick! But, all of the old FNV mods won’t work on that.
Eternal darkness for the GameCube could be so good with a proper remaster.
The original Quake but the asthetic needs to be identical and NIN should actually do the soundtrack.
Deus Ex would be great, it was so ahead of its time.
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
For most of them a proper remake rather than a remaster but I’ll take what I can get
- Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
- Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (originally used the same engine as Age of Empires 2 so porting it to the Definitive Edition engine should be doable)
- The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
- Final Fantasy VI
- Final Fantasy VIII
- Assassin’s Creed 1
Played Assassin’s Creed 1 recently and it’s so clunky. A remaster would need some new controls or something to be viable today, but a remake would be better.
There are a bunch of old Sega IPs I’d love to see get a modern treatment. Alex Kidd. Space Harrier. Shinobi. Wonder Boy in Monster Land got the proper treatment a few years back with a gorgeous remake and a pseudo-sequel.
Maybe this is moot since they would just do the usual Square Enix “remaster” (read: poorly upscaled and very basic QoL improvements)
I want some love for Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross. Even if they just made it 2.5 HD similar to Octopath Traveller, Diofield Chronicle, etc
Red dead redemption 1
Honestly read dead redemption holds up so well.
Yeah but i dont want to buy a 10 year old system to play it
It runs really well on Xenia-canary.
Good looking out!
I’ve run into a deal breaking issue for me. Functions kind of like ‘reverse mouse acceleration.’ Faster I move the mouse the slower the camera moves. If I try to make a quick turn during a gunfight it remains basically stationary. Tried adjusting every setting and can’t get it resolved. Only behaves like that in the emulator. Really bummed because I REALLY want to play it.
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today’s standards.
The Sims 2 and Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 🖤
The Legend of Dragoon for me.
Always my answer when questions like these come up. I played it before FF7 and I always considered it the better of the two
Icewind Dale 2 need a remaster / EE edition. I remember reading somewhere that the source code was lost. Same issue with HOMM3 extensions that why there is no HD edition of the full game and why GOG version is still the best.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me
I’d love to see star wars republic commando as well as the Jedi knight series!
