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.

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.

Lord of the Rings: Gollum
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.
Bully and KOTOR II
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.
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.

Red dead redemption 1
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
Deus Ex. The original one. It has such great story and gameplay but is dated by today's standards.
A modern remake of Populous could be amazing.
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.
Jet Force Gemini
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.
Bioware just announced layoffs.
God forbid any exec there have literally any brains or sight above 3 months. I'm so goddamn frustrated with the shell corporation formally known as Bioware. Yes, your quarterly revenue is in the toilet, you invest money to make a killer game and make profit when you release. Games take time, stop fucking laying off people and trying to squeeze it for every dollar and just make a good goddamn game.
They have massive IPs like KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age that literally everyone is chomping at the bit for. They could have staff working on all three with a new game coming out every two years with DLCs in between, but they're afraid to invest in it.
They could have the next RDR2 or Witcher - if they actually invested in it. They could be the name for RPGs again, but they're too afraid about not being able to afford their next BMW.
They could be the name for RPGs again
Unpopular opinion: They never were. And neither was Bethesda. Black Isle/Obsidian are the true masters of RPGs. There was a period of time when they would take other studios' engines and IPs and produce sequels/spin-offs that vastly surpassed the original in terms of writing and world design. Bioware made Baldur's Gate, Black Isle made Planescape: Torment. Bioware made Neverwinter Nights, Obsidian made NWN2. Bioware made KotOR, Obsidian made KotOR2. Bethesda made Fallout 3, Obsidian made Fallout: New Vegas. If anything, it's Black Isle/Obsidian games that deserve to be remastered.

God Jade Empire would be so good with some high definition
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.
- 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.
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..
Have you seen the mod that was in the works to bring Fallout to Fallout New Vegas? Here is a video if you haven't.
There would definitely be a lot of room to extrapolate stuff making the switch from an isometric world.

Nokia 3310's snake
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.
Vagrant Story
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.
Star wars jedi power battles. More people need to know about the second best jedi game with the worst title that ever existed.
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.
Suikoden 3 for sure.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
but please don't completely change the visual style! just clean them up for modern resolution screens
Skies of Arcadia - Would love an updated version of this on the Switch, or some other system. Especially if they can bring back Pinta's Quest, using a phone app or other small device.
Darkened Skye - Though I'm probably one of the few who actually enjoyed this.
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
