A real Bard's Tale, not that cruddy 3rd person thing.
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do
I'd love a remastering of Knights of the Old Republic (preferably 1 and 2 packaged together) with updated graphics, interfaces, and some comfort improvements. Those menus were soooooo bad. Hell just overhaul the whole game engine. That thing was outdated when it released to begin with XD
A remake of Unreal 2k4 would also be epic. I don't need fancy new guns or mechanics. Just take that game and put it in the Unreal 3 engine and I am a happy camper.

Yes please! Heck, I'd settle for a new UT game that had the Assault gametype back. That's the only thing I ever played in 2k4. Modders did so much amazing stuff with those assault maps...

Yes. Just Yes.
Also, an ending where you actually survive KOTOR II without going dark side would be nice.

It be nice if in doing the remake they finished all of the unfinished content for the game. There was a gak tone Obsidian never got done because of the rush to release from Lucas Arts. Much of it was pretty awesome.

Other than that, Redneck Rampage is just begging for a squeal.
Ooh. This!

I dunno. I'm not sure how much more of that insufferably cliche Mary Sue Starkiller I can take.

Again, what's really needed here is KotOR 3.
What I'm getting from this thread is the people are ready for new, quality SW games!!!
I'd say this is fair. I loved Kotor and in a weird way, I loved Kotor 2 for the misshapen and incomplete glory that it was.
Give me a complete Kotor 2, and a new Kotor 3. And, if I can add, make the dark/light side choices much more like the choices from the MMO Old Republic, where Dark Side was not AUTOMATICALLY "moustache twirling, puppy kicking, BUAAAHAA" evil. And Light Side was not AUTOMATICALLY "Turbo Liberal".

So people have already beaten me to listing games that I would want to see remade.
Icewind Dale 1/2
Dark Reign
Arcanum
I am afraid that one day an Arcanum sequel gets a kickstarter, I'm afraid at how much money I would put into seeing that happen. Especially if it ended up looking like Wasteland 2 currently does.
I wouldn't mind seeing any of the Age of Empires games (except 3) get remade.
Double Fine Adventure, Wasteland 2, Nekro, Shadowrun Returns, Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, Planetary Annihilation, Project Eternity, Distance, Dreamfall Chapters, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Consortium, Divinity: Original Sin, Smart Guys, Raging Heroes - The Toughest Girls of the Galaxy, Armikrog, Massive Chalice, Satellite Reign, Cthulhu Wars, Warmachine: Tactics, Game Loading: Rise Of The Indies, Indie Statik, Awesomenauts: Starstorm, Cosmic Star Heroine, THE LONG DARK, The Mandate, Stasis, Hand of Fate, Upcycled Machined Dice, Legend of Grimrock: The Series, Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians, Cyberpunk Soundtracks, Darkest Dungeon, Starcrawlers
Wales: Where the Men are Men and the sheep are Scared.
I would want the following to be new and updated versions of the games, keeping the spirt of the game intact but not just remaking the exact same game with better graphics.
Bushido Blade:One of my favourite fighting games ever, one good slash with the sword and it was all over. You could also disable arms or legs of your attackers.
IceWind Dale or Baldurs Gate: but proper updates rather than enhanced editions.
Vagrant story: Fantastic and intresting PS1 RPG
Suikoden: Rpg with more characters to recruit into your party in a single game than most series.
Resident Evil: Series needs a reboot. 4 was fantastic but its gone way down hill since then.
A graphical update of Soul Reaver would be great. Maybe with some minor improvements to contextual actions like ledge-grabs and interacting with puzzle objects, they often felt a little janky. A little bit more drama may be necessary for the boss fights as well.
The controls were years ahead of their time as was the structure, so all the game needs is a lick of paint.

The ooolld Alien Vs Predator games from like '98 and 2000 I think? Of the two, AvP2 had the better online multiplayer. The races all have good strengths and weaknesses and were more-or-less balanced. Not simply rock-paper-scissors in space.

Death Guard --2000

I'd love a decent Predator game. The last AvP wasn't bad, but it didn't really inspire much fun either. But I imagine my hopes for a great Predator game are as pointless as my hopes for a great sequel. I just have to settle for decent XD
Hmm, I think I would love to see some good remakes of Thief and Syndicate.

So long as they re-instate the cut content from #2.

Theyre not necessarily remakes but I'd die to get a third game in the freespace series.
And sticking with the Star Wars theme going on: Republic Commando...with the clones wars animated series, i cant believe they're yet to put out a sequel
Probably because Republic Commando really wasn't a very good game. I get that the books are the Twilight of Star Wars (I got my swipe in Travis deal with it) but the game was the definition of mediocre.
THat said, it should be remade because it could have been a great game. Add more levels, fix problems with the core mechanics, and give the poor game a soul beyond being a bad copy of Halo in the Star Wars universe.
