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.
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.

Bully and KOTOR II
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.
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.

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

Beyond Good and Evil.
Absolute masterpiece. Ubisoft has been squandering the IP for decades.
very niche but Skies of Arcadia! I miss my pirate RPG with airship battling featuring main characters that may or may not develop a harem at the end.
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
Jet Force Gemini
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Early BioWare stuff. Specifically KOTOR (don't know what's going on with that remake, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere right now), KOTOR II (yes, I know it's Obsidian, but still), and Jade Empire. Probably Dragon Age: Origins as well.
Since they're already doing it, it's probably a useless mention, but Splinter Cell needed it, especially for PC.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the Kyle Katarn Jedi games could probably do with a touch-up as well. But they're "not canon", so that's not happening.
Maybe also the original Deus Ex and/or Thief.
I expect System Shock 2 might get one in a few years, although it isn't as desperately needed as the original was.
God Jade Empire would be so good with some high definition
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.
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
- .hack IMOQ (I was coping so hard after GU got a remaster but still nothing)
- Dragon age origins
- Digimon world 3. There have been two reboots/reimaginings of digimon world 1 (re digitized decode, and next order), but never anything about world 2 and 3.
Final Fantasy 9. It's my favourite in the series, and it's gotten lots of rereleases in its original form. But it would be nice if it got a more polished updated remaster.
Though I would be afraid of how modern Square sensibilities might change the pretty iconic character designs.

A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
- Parasite Eve
- Prototype 1
- Legend of Dragoon
- NFL Blitz (just a modern upgrade, keep the arcade feel)
- Smash TV
We're actually getting a Star Ocean 2 remaster in November, so I can cross that off the list.

Old MGS, Max Payne
I would love Max Payne 1 & 2. I googled it for fun and found this: https://investors.remedygames.com/announcements/remedy-entertainment-enters-agreement-with-rockstar-games-for-new-max-payne-12-project/
I won't hold my breath, but I'll be happy if it happens.
Fuck yeah, Metal Gear Solid! I feel like remasters and PC ports are a no brainer. Konami has the engine Kojima did for MGS5, which I assume is what they are using to re-make 3.
black and white 2 needs a modern remake.
Vagrant Story
Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen's Odyssey
Man, I love that game, but it has some things I'd love to see improved by a remaster.
I know I’m in a minority but DK64! I loved that game as a kid. Maybe it was because my game library was quite small growing up but I spent hours and hours during summer vacation with the DK Crew
Links 2003 and Sid Meier's Sim Golf. Both with generic (non-bonesaw PGA) content :)
Heroes III. Spent my whole time during studies playing it with friends on lectures. Would love to see the enhanced version
Suikoden 3 for sure.
