Matrix Path of Neo. I loved that game so much and the last time I tried emulating it was so bad. I was completely hyped at that recent tech demo until I realized that was all it would be.

Jedi Knight 2 and Medieval 2 Total War for me
.hack IMOQ. We got the gu remasters, now that’s all we need.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
but please don't completely change the visual style! just clean them up for modern resolution screens
BLOODBORNE
Morrowind
My heart and soul says YES but the rational part of my brain knows they would just screw it up. Morrowind is a product of a long-gone age of gaming and I can't imagine the suits would let it fly today and it wouldn't be the same without its old charms and quirks.

Im excited for that nvidia ai enhanced rtx thing! now we wont have to wait around for a remaster and can just automagically remaster it
Since we will apparently never be getting the Beyond Good and Evil 2 which has been promised and postponed I forget how many times now since 2008.... a more polished version of the original would be nice.
Jak II (and probably the others after it but I haven't gotten to them yet so can't say for sure). Not Precursor Legacy though, it's perfect and nobody can tell me otherwise
Edit: jk I forgot Precursor Legacy didn't have subtitles, it could do with those.
Half Life 1 (and 2 at this point, tbh) Actually fuck it let's just re-do all the Valve Source FPS. TAKE MY MONEY
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 would be an awesome candidate for an AOE Definitive Edition style remake where the mechanics are virtually unchanged but it's given a 3D graphics overhaul with unfixed zoom levels
Tron 2.0 but it'll never happen because it's a split timeline from Tron Legacy :[

C&C: Tiberian Sun and the Firestorm expansion. I wasn't the biggest fan of the original C&C, but picked up the remaster to show my support in the hopes that Tiberian Sun would get the treatment. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening as far as I've seen.
Yes, and Red Alert 2 as well (since it runs on the same-ish engine).
I've been hoping for this since the release of the remastered versions of the original C&C and Red Alert.
No One Lives Forever 1 and 2.
Arcanum and Divinity II (Ego Draconis, not original sin 2)
Nokia 3310's snake
I'd love to see star wars republic commando as well as the Jedi knight series!
Twisted Metal 2 for PC.
I really enjoyed Sim Earth as a kid. Just give me an entire planet operating on a geological scale as a sort of "virtual terrarium", and I'll be happy.
Eternal Darkness
Chatturga Chatturga Ulyoth pargon pargon
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.
Future Cop: LAPD
Star wars jedi power battles. More people need to know about the second best jedi game with the worst title that ever existed.
Good old Revolt. It'll be awesome with a remake of the game with the similar feel, realistic driving characteristics and challenging gameplay that's actually fun and difficult to master. I'd love a hyper realistic version of an RC car game just like revolt was back when it launched.
More a remake from the bottom up than just a remaster, but 1st person 3d Fallout and Fallout 2.
It's probably impossible due to rights issues and the like and would definitely piss off purists, but it would introduce a new generation to the origin of the series, the game that us olds first fell in love with.
It would also give us the opportunity to experience them anew with increased immersion and immedience as we wait for 5 to be released some time in the middle of the 2030s if even then..

Duck Hunt, but make it realistic.
Whatever happened to gun games on consoles in general? Duck hunt was great when I was a kid, and later we had games like Time Crises. I miss those.
Lightguns don't work on LCD screens, so they were not feasible on most consoles once folks started swapping out their CRTs.
Wii had a handful of light gun like games (that used the sensor bar of course) with the Wii Zapper, but other than that games of this type have needed more niche peripherals (Kinect, PS camera, now VR) that have made them more niche.
Lightguns don't but newer technology does. Guns these days just use cameras and they work fine. There's no technical limitations here.
But I do appreciate your comment because that was an actual thing for a while, so completely relevant.
Right, but "just use cameras" is what I mean by "niche peripherals."
Other than the Wii, no modern consoles have had an installed user base for Move/Kinect/Camera type stuff to make it worth it for many developers to get involved. And even the Wii was just mostly shovelware waggle games, though as I mentioned there were some Wii Zapper games that approximated lightguns.
I think at this point we're past the sorts of external cameras and tracking necessary for lightgun things even more than we already were. This sort of stuff has already moved to VR and I don't know that we're gonna get them back in the physical realm any time soon.
You could easily do it with a Switch controller shaped like a gun and nothing else. It's pretty accurate on its own right, just using motion sensors aka accelerometers. I'm not talking Kinect because that watches you. Completely different concept, though you can do it that way too. Cameras that can scan TVs a thousand times a second to look for moving images are a dime a dozen, not exactly expensive anymore. Maybe 10 years ago, but not today. It does all boil down to money though. Maybe they think those type of games aren't popular anymore, so not enough return on investment?
People don't want to buy a gun to play 1 game, and that seemed to happen often even back in the day with light guns.
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
