Now that remakes have become so popular - I've been thinking about what games I most want remade.
When I say remade - I'm not going to set any particular boundary in terms of whether it's a 1:1 visual upgrade - or a complete re-imagining that we're talking about.
So, for a fun little distraction, I thought we could have a thread with an arbitrary limit of three games - so as to not exhaust games too soon
Here are three of mine:
Goldbox games (the entire collection, but I would particularly love to see a return of Buck Rogers)
Back in the day, these were bigger than Baldur's Gate for me. They were essentially the ultimate version of past CRPGs that I'd loved, like Bard's Tale. I just loved them to death - and I would absolutely love to see a modern iteration of all of them, including the game maker FRUA. I have a particular fondness for the two Buck Rogers games - as they represent one of the first sci-fi roleplaying games I got to play.
Aliens versus Predator 2
To me, this is still the best game based on the franchise. It's probably the only one of them I would consider great - and, unfortunately, it has aged particularly poorly - and it both looks and sounds like crap today. But a modern version (and revitalization of the AvP games) would be fantastic.
Dungeons and Dragons Online
I absolutely adore DDO - but it's just way, way too old by now. But it remains the PERFECT co-op MMO, and it has THE best character progression system of any MMO in existence. I still play it on occasion, but the genre has just moved on in too many ways - and the horrible lag doesn't help.
But a proper modern iteration - keeping all the best aspects of the game, but modernizing certain others, like taking away the absurd emphasis on buffs and obviously spicing up combat a lot. I would also argue for the implementation of custom player dungeons with proper tools.
Man, I would play that game to death.

Anyway, do you guys have games you're dying to see remade?
